FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
The best waterproof dog collar is one made from a material that cannot absorb water in the first place, rather than a fabric collar treated to repel it. Biothane dog collars fall in the first category. Coated collars stay dry, stay light and never develop the wet-dog smell fabric collars pick up on dogs after a swim.
Yes. Biothane is fully waterproof rather than merely treated, which is a real difference. Treated fabric eventually soaks through. A waterproof biothane dog collar has no fibers exposed to soak, so it comes out of a lake the same weight it went in.
Wash it, and if the smell returns within a day the collar is the problem. Fabric traps moisture and bacteria in the weave, and washing will not fix collars that have been damp for months on wet dogs. Switching to a waterproof biothane dog collar removes the cause: there is nothing for odor to live in, which is why dogs in these collars stay fresher between baths.
Coated collars. Biothane dog collars do not absorb water, so bacteria has no damp fiber to grow in and the collar stays fresh between walks. This is the single most common reason customers with swimming dogs tell us they switched.
Most of it is grooming and drying dogs properly, but check the collar. A damp collar sitting for hours holds odor close to your dog's neck and re-wets clean fur every time. Pet parents with smelly dogs often solve half the problem by changing collars alone.
Waterproof collars in a coated material, ideally with a reflective option if your dog swims at dusk. These collars go from the water to the car without soaking a seat. They do not float, so collars that come off in deep water will sink like any other.
For active dogs, yes. A biothane collar is soft flexible webbing, smooth against the coat, and it wipes clean in seconds. Dogs who swim, dig or roll get the most out of it, and adventure dogs even more. Indoor dogs who stay dry notice the difference less.
Biothane is polyester webbing with a protective coating, the same material used for horse tack for decades. It is not intended to be chewed or swallowed, and no collar is. If your dog chews collars persistently, supervise them and replace anything damaged.
Reactions to the material itself are rare in dogs. Most collar irritation comes from wet fabric held against a damp coat, which is exactly what waterproof collars avoid on adventure dogs. If your dog has sensitive skin, check the fit, dry the coat after swims, and take the collar off overnight.
Leather looks beautiful and ages well, but it needs conditioning, it stains, and it goes hard and cracked once it has been soaked and dried a few times. Biothane needs no maintenance and shrugs off mud. Choose leather for indoor dogs and classic style, choose a biothane style for dogs who swim and take long muddy walks.
Compare the width against your dog's size, whether you need a reflective biothane collar, and where it was made. A wider strap spreads pressure on dogs who pull. Our biothane dog collars run 5/8 inch on small up to a full inch on large and X-large, and every one is assembled in Maryland.
Measure your dog's neck with a soft tape and match dogs to the range. Small fits 7 to 10.5 inches, medium 10.5 to 15, large 15 to 19, and X-large 19 to 25. Sizes overlap, so between two, size up for growing dogs and down for dogs who have stopped.
No, and be wary of any collar sold as chew proof. Biothane is tough and takes chewing damage better than woven webbing, but dogs chew, and a determined dog with time and boredom will get through most things. These are built for weather and water, not for dogs to treat as chew toys.
Nothing frays. Woven dog collars unravel at the edges once the stitching or a cut end goes, and the loose threads then catch on everything. A waterproof biothane collar is a solid coated strap with sealed edges, so there is nothing to unravel, and it will not stretch out of shape after a wet season of walks.
It is soft flexible and smooth, which is why it suits daily wear better than stiff webbing on most dogs. Check the fit regularly on any collar: two fingers under the strap, and loosen it as a puppy grows. A collar that is too loose is what causes rubbing, not the material.
Seresto is water resistant and rated to keep working after swimming, though the manufacturer notes repeated immersion can shorten its life. Plenty of pet parents run a flea collar underneath a waterproof biothane collar so the visible one takes the mud and the treatment collar stays put.
Poodles, bichons and schnauzers hold less odor, along with short single-coated dogs like whippets. Double-coated dogs hold damp longest. Whatever the breed, a wet fabric collar will out-smell the dogs wearing it.
Five colorways in the collection: blue & orange, blue & white, purple & pink, pink & teal, and red & blue. Two reflective options are available for low light: blue reflective and pink reflective. The color runs through the coating rather than being printed on top, so these dog collars keep their style for years.
Most pet shops sell water-resistant fabric, which is not the same thing. If you want genuinely waterproof rather than treated, look for coated biothane. Ours ship from Maryland and each is crafted here rather than imported and relabelled, which is a smart thing to check on any dog collars you buy.
Simply wipe a biothane collar with a gentle damp cloth for everyday dirt. For anything worse, hand wash in warm soapy water and dry it off. There is no conditioning, oiling or special care, which is most of the appeal. Check the hardware and the fit every few weeks as part of the routine.
Yes, in the same waterproof biothane and the same five colorways plus reflective options. Two lengths: 6ft standard and 4.5ft reflective, both 3/4 inch wide with a traffic handle above the clip for close control. Add an engraved tag to complete the setup.
Three things: a durable material that survives water, hardware that will not snag, and a finish that cleans up fast. Adventure ready collars for active dogs get muddy and go back to normal with a wipe. Dogs who hike, swim and dig put collars through more in a month than most dogs manage in a year, and fabric rarely survives it. A waterproof wipe clean strap is the smart choice for adventure dogs.
They suit young dogs well, because puppies are messy and grow fast. Buy for the neck size now rather than the size they will reach, check the fit weekly on growing dogs, and expect to size up. Small and medium cover most puppies, and the smooth strap is gentle on soft puppy fur and thin coats.
Years of daily wear is normal. A quality biothane dog collar resists cracking, fading and stretching, and will not stiffen after repeated soakings the way leather does on dogs who swim. Hardware and fit are what to watch, so check both every few weeks on collars your dogs wear daily.
Solid brass and nickel-plated hardware, chosen for weight and feel rather than the cheapest option available for dogs. Brass develops a warm patina over time, which some pet parents like and others do not, so pick the style you prefer. If you want the metal to stay bright, wipe it dry after swims along with the strap.
Working and sporting dogs are exactly who this durable material was borrowed for. It came from the equine world, where tack lives outdoors in all weather, and the same properties translate to gundogs, farm dogs and search dogs. A biothane collar stays flexible in cold weather and will not freeze stiff on winter walks with working dogs.
Yes. Biothane stays flexible in cold weather where wet fabric goes stiff and wet leather cracks. Snow, dirt and road salt wipe off, which matters on daily winter walks. For dogs on walks before sunrise or after dusk, the reflective dog collars are worth the small premium on dark winter walks.
Sizes start at 7 inches, which fits some cats, but these are built for dogs and have no breakaway safety buckle. Cats need breakaway collars. Buy a proper cat collar and add one of our tags to it instead.
Because it lets us control the quality rather than approve a sample and hope. Our skilled team cuts, punches and assembles every collar here from US-sourced materials. We genuinely care about the difference that makes: consistent hole spacing, clean sealed edges, and no batch that quietly gets worse.
Water resistant fabric slows water down. Waterproof means water never gets in. Most dog collars sold that way are fabric with a coating that wears off, and once it does you are back to a wet collar. Coated biothane has no fabric surface exposed, so there is nothing to wear through.
A waterproof biothane dog collar runs $19.99 to $23.99 depending on size, more than a supermarket nylon collar and less than good leather. The practical maths is replacement: most fabric dog collars get thrown out smelling bad within a year or two, and these durable ones do not.
Yes, and most customers do. The D-ring takes a standard split ring, and our engraved tags come in four shapes and four finishes so the metal can match your collar hardware. We also make driver's license tags with your pet's photo, and full-color photo tags if you want something different. Browse the tags collection if you want the whole set to work together.
Reach out and we will sort it. Dogs' necks are hard to guess and sizing charts only get you so far, especially on dogs with thick coats. Measure snugly against the skin rather than over fur, and give yourself the two-finger gap when you buckle it.
The pattern in our reviews is consistent: dogs who swim and roll in unpleasant things come home and their collars still look and smell fine. That is the point. Across 368 verified retail ratings the collars sit at 4.5 stars, with durability the highest-rated quality at 82 percent positive across those walks and adventures.
Style matters more than people admit, since collars are the one thing dogs wear daily, and dogs photograph better in a color that suits them. Our stylish waterproof biothane collars come in bold two-tone colorways rather than muted webbing, the color runs through the coating so it stays vibrant, and the orange, teal and pink combinations photograph well. Style and durability are not a trade-off here.
They hold their shape. Woven collars stretch and go slack after enough wet walks, so the hole you used in spring is loose by autumn. A coated strap does not stretch, which means the fit you set is the fit you keep, and the holes stay crisp rather than tearing.
Width does the work. The one-inch strap on our large and X-large collars spreads pressure across a wider area of the neck than a narrow collar, which is gentler on dogs who lean into the lead. For dogs who pull seriously a harness is the smarter option, with collars carrying the tags.
Any collar can rub on dogs if it is too tight, too loose or left wet. The steps are the same for all dogs: two fingers of room, dry the coat and strap afterwards, and take collars off overnight so the skin can rest. Wet fabric held against the coat is the usual cause of irritation, which is what a waterproof wipe clean strap avoids. The rest is fit.
The waterproof biothane range covers matching leashes in the same five colorways plus reflective options. To complete the look, we make a wide variety of dog tags: engraved metal tags in four shapes and four finishes to match your collar hardware, driver's license tags with your pet's photo, and photo tags in full color. All of it is crafted by the same team in Maryland from US-sourced materials.
