Like with anything new and innovative, there are opinions floating around the internet. Some people still hesitate, wondering if Biothane is “too synthetic,” “too stiff,” or just not as “authentic” as leather.
Let’s talk about that.
The truth is, Biothane isn’t pretending to be leather. It’s not trying to be something it isn’t — and that’s exactly why it’s become the go-to choice for dog owners who live in the real world. Because as much as we love the look of classic materials, anyone who’s owned a leather leash after a muddy walk knows how quickly it absorbs dirt, odor, and water. And after a few months of daily use, it just doesn’t look or smell the same.
Biothane, on the other hand, was made to last. It doesn’t soak up water. It doesn’t hold onto smells. And it doesn’t crack, fray, or stretch out over time. Some people say Biothane feels a little different — and they’re right. It’s smoother, lighter, easier to clean. You can wipe it down after a rainy day or a swim in the lake and it looks brand new again. That’s not a flaw. That’s progress.
Sure, it’s not “traditional.” But neither is the life we live with our dogs today. We hike with them, travel with them, let them roll in the grass and splash through puddles. We don’t need gear that needs constant care — we need gear that keeps up.
So yes, Biothane is synthetic. But it’s also durable, waterproof, and vegan-friendly — made to handle adventure without compromise. What some call a “con” is exactly what makes it perfect for everyday use.
Our Biothane collars and leashes are designed for real dogs and real lives — built to look beautiful, feel comfortable, and outlast anything else in the drawer.
Because your dog doesn’t care if it’s leather or Biothane. They just want to go.
