At Big Green Hound we specialise in handmade dog collars that are both functional and colourful. Biothane is one of our favourite materials to work with, and it pairs beautifully with paracord to create collars that are comfortable, stylish, and built to last.
If you’ve never heard of Biothane before, it’s a game-changing material that ticks all the boxes for conscientious owners. Let's explore why Biothane adapters make our dog collars the paw-fect choice for your pet.
-----------------------
What Is Biothane?
Biothane is a modern material with a unique blend of functionality and style. It’s made from polyester webbing coated in either thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) or polyvinyl chloride (PVC). Essentially, it looks like leather but has a long list of practical advantages.
Unlike leather, Biothane is waterproof, durable, and doesn’t absorb smells. It’s also flexible, lightweight, and available in a wide range of colours. That means it can handle anything your dog gets up to, jumps in, or rolls in.
Why Use Biothane in Dog Collars?
If you’re wondering what makes biothane so special, here’s a quick rundown of its benefits:
Waterproof and Odour-Resistant
Whether your dog loves to swim or you get caught in the inevitable British rain, a Biothane adapter on a dog collar won’t get soggy or start to smell. Unlike traditional materials, it doesn’t absorb water or dirt.
Durable and Long-Lasting
Biothane is tough enough to withstand pulling, chewing, and everyday wear. It’s perfect for dogs of all sizes, from excitable puppies to strong adult breeds.
Easy to Clean
A quick wipe with a damp cloth is all it takes to keep your dog’s collar looking as good as new.
Stylish and Customisable
With Biothane, the colour options are vast! Whether you prefer bold and bright or understated neutrals, there’s a Biothane adapter to match your style.
Comfortable and Safe
The smooth, flexible surface of Biothane ensures your dog stays comfortable, even during long walks or outdoor adventures.

How Do We Use Biothane in Our Collars at Big Green Hound?
Biothane pairs beautifully with paracord for a unique look that stands out from mass-produced alternatives. We use Biothane to create the adapters to which the paracord attaches, making our collars adjustable for the perfect fit. It’s also used in a number of our other products, from lead handles to keyrings and our ever-popular ball holders.
The main benefits include:
Versatility: Biothane can be cut, stitched, and paired with a range of hardware to create collars and adapters that are both durable and stylish. We pair it with paracord to create beautiful-looking collars.
Customisation: We use a variety of colours and patterns to craft bespoke collars tailored to your dog’s personality.
Quality Control: Every collar we make is carefully handmade to ensure it meets the high standards you and your dog deserve.
Each collar is crafted with care to ensure it’s as special as the dog wearing it. We have a wide range of collars that use a combination of Biothane and paracord, to suit any size of dog and their favourite colours!
Why a Customised Biothane & Paracord Dog Collar Is Worth the Investment
Whether your dog is a gentle giant or a playful pup, a dog collar incorporating a Biothane adapter is a practical and stylish choice. Its durability, low-maintenance nature, and comfort make it a fantastic material for busy pet owners. Plus, with its range of colours and customisation options, it’s easy to find (or create) the perfect fit for your furry friend.
