Leashes and collars are a must for every dog owner. They allow you to lead your dog safely and effectively while giving it a certain amount of freedom. Leashes and collars are available in all colors and made from a wide range of materials. One material that has become increasingly popular in recent years is Biothane®.
What is Biothane®?
Biothane® is a synthetic material made from polyester or nylon webbing coated with PVC or TPU. This coating makes the material water-repellent, abrasion-resistant and easy to clean.
The material was first developed in the 1970s by a company called Bio-Plastics as a replacement for leather and nylon, and has since been used in a variety of industries, including making dog equipment. In the horse industry, Biothane is now widely used for bridles, snaffles, boots, girths and harnesses. In the dog industry, Biothane is used for leashes, collars, harnesses and muzzles.
An ideal material for everyday use
In short, an ideal material for everyday use as a leash or collar. Especially if your dog is a water rat or likes to roll around. You can simply dry a Biothane collar after rolling around or rinse it under running water. Because who hasn't been there - you've put a fancy leather collar on your dog and on that very day he rolls around and the beautiful leather collar is "inedible" afterwards.
The same goes for Biothane leashes. Whether you stand with one foot on the short leash to do calming exercises with your dog or simply to restrain him, or you simply leave the leash outside, if your Biothane leash gets dirty, you can simply rinse it under running water and it will look like new again.
Advantages of Biothane® leashes
- Water-repellent:
One of the most important properties of Biothane® is its abrasion resistance and water resistance. This means that even in the rain or when swimming, Biothane® leashes and collars do not absorb moisture, do not soften or develop edges like leather. This is particularly practical if your dog likes to go swimming or for walking in bad weather. - Abrasion resistance:
Biothane® is very abrasion resistant. This means that it retains its shape and appearance even after years of use. Even if the dog
pulls on the leash and collar, rolls around and drags the collar on the ground. - Easy to clean:
Biothane® is easy to clean. It can be easily washed with soap and water and dries quickly. This is particularly
Important for dogs that spend a lot of time outside rolling around in mud and dirt. Simply wash it off, dry it and the collar is ready for use again. - Colors and designs:
Biothane® is available in many different shapes, designs, widths and colors. - Durable:
Biothane® leashes are very durable and will last for many years. This not only saves money, but is also sustainable. - Odourless:
Biothane® is odorless, meaning it has no odor of its own and does not absorb any odors. - Comfortable:
Biothane® collars and leashes are very light and therefore very comfortable for the dog to wear. They are soft and flexible, which
means that they do not chafe or rub uncomfortably when the dog moves. - Sustainability:
Biothane® collars are also a sustainable choice because they are durable and do not need to be replaced as quickly as other collars.
In addition, Biothane® is an environmentally friendly material as it is recyclable and a vegan alternative to leather.

Biothane® leashes and collars offer many advantages over other materials. They are water-repellent, abrasion-resistant, easy to clean, durable and available in a variety of colors and designs. This makes them the ideal everyday companion for you and your dog. They are also a sustainable choice as they are durable and made from recyclable materials.
