Why is BioThane® better than leather?

BioThane® is more durable, waterproof, and easier to clean and maintain than leather. It doesn’t absorb moisture, odors, or bacteria and remains flexible in all weather conditions.

Is BioThane® made in the USA?

Yes! BioThane® webbing is manufactured in North Ridgeville, Ohio, USA.

Is BioThane® durable?

Yes! Under normal use, BioThane® outlasts both leather and nylon collars, with a break strength of 600 lbs. per inch of width and being fray resistant.

Will this collar stay flexible in cold weather?

Yes! BioThane® remains soft and flexible even in all weather conditions, including freezing temperatures.

Does BioThane® get sticky or tacky?

No, it does not get sticky or tacky under normal use. However, exposure to chemicals like DEET may affect the material Sizing.

First, use a fabric dressmaker’s tape or a string and ruler to measure snugly around the middle of your dog’s neck. Add 5% for a comfortable fit. Then, measure around the widest part of your dog’s head to ensure the collar can slip over before adjusting. This collar is 1’’ wide and available in two adjustable neck sizes: 15-22”, 19-27”. Please note that all items are handmade. Because every item is cut and sewn by hand, here at our workshop in New Hampshire, it is possible that there will be some variance in our size measurements.

How do I adjust the collar for the best fit?

Use the non-slip tri-glide adjuster to tighten or loosen the collar, push the webbing through the slider to create excess material, then pull it through on the other side to adjust. For best fit, ensure the collar is snug, but not too tight. The molded teeth in the adjusters keep it securely in place, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit.

Where is this collar made?

LupinePet products are proudly built in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, using high-quality materials sourced both domestically and internationally.

What is a martingale collar?

A martingale collar is a limited-slip training and walking collar designed for dogs that tend to slip out of traditional collars or pull on the leash. It features two loops: one that adjusts like a regular collar for a secure fit and a second that tightens slightly when the dog pulls, or tries to back out, providing gentle control without choking. Once the dog stops pulling, the loop loosens for comfort. For safety, martingale collars are for training and leash walking only and should never be left on an unattended or unleashed dog.

Will this collar develop an odor if my dog gets wet?

No, BioThane® is stink-proof and does not absorb moisture or bacteria.

Can I attach a leash to this collar?

Yes! The collar features a welded, nickel-plated steel D-ring for easy and secure leash attachment.

Can I attach an ID tag to this collar?

Yes! The collar features a second welded, nickel-plated steel D-ring, allowing you to easily add a tag. You can also explore the embroiderable version of this collar for built-in identification or opt for slide-on tags as a lightweight alternative.

Simply wipe with a damp cloth for quick cleaning. For tougher messes, hand wash with warm water and mild dish soap using a brush or cloth, then wipe or air dry.

How do I disinfect the collar?

Use a 10% bleach solution (1 part bleach to 9 parts water), or disinfecting wipes like Clorox® wipes. You can also use Envirocide® or Cavicide® (following label directions).

Yes! Complete the look with a matching Splash Waterproof Leash or harness (sold separately).

Is this collar guaranteed?

Yes! Like all LupinePet gear, this collar is GUARANTEED, even if chewed.
