BioThane® for Your Animals - Cleanable, Durable, Healthier

Our BioThane® products are waterproof, stink proof, easy to clean and come in a variety of fun colours which you can choose and mix and match.  We can also change to stainless steel hardware (additional charges), add your dogs name or your phone number, or any other text you require, and we even have a range of patterns we can add on (see photos below). 

The BioThane® product itself is very strong, and we use 2 rivets at each end of our leads but if you have a very strong dog you can ask as to make it with 3 rivets.

REFUNDS/REPLACEMENTS:
As we custom make these, no refunds will be given for change of mind or incorrect size/colour choice (unless we made an error).  We will repair or replace any hardware failures/defects (ie clip, buckle, rivets) but PLEASE NOTE THAT BIOTHANE IS NOT CHEW PROOF and we will be unable to refund BioThane® products that have been chewed.

PRINTING/PATTERNS/IMAGES
These are a heat transfer vinyl (HTV) and are also waterproof. 
However **PLEASE NOTE** that the supplier of the HTV doesn't guarantee how well it works if you put text over the patterned HTV, so you can choose to do this at your own risk.  The below images show the patterns we currently have available.  As the pattern varies throughout the page we cannot guarantee exactly what your cut of the pattern will look like.
