BIOTHANE

Biothane is a waterproof material that is extremely long-lasting and requires little upkeep. Most dirt can be cleaned easily with regular cleaning with a mild detergent and an old toothbrush; for more difficult stains, I suggest using rubbing alcohol and the other items mentioned above. Please be aware that Biothane is not entirely stain resistant.

*Although our equipment is made to withstand even the most extreme weather conditions, harsh chemicals like skunk spray, ink, or adhesive can discolour Biothane.*

HARDWARE

Over time, all hardware will begin to show signs of wear. It is normal for Nickel Plated, and Black Plated hardware to change color over time, with the exception of solid brass & stainless steel. The color change is only cosmetic and does not affect the hardware's long-term durability. Our one-year hardware warranty does not cover damage to the finish on the hardware.

TARNISH

Although it is a perfectly normal occurrence, tarnish can stain your dog's fur and/or the biothane. Tarnish is the gray gunk that builds up on hardware over time. Using an old toothbrush, mild detergent, and some elbow grease, polish and clean the hardware on a regular basis is the best way to avoid this

Avoid the following:Even though Biothane is waterproof and is ideal for dogs who enjoy swimming, it is essential to dry off the metal hardware once the gear is no longer in use. Harsh cleansers and abrasive detergents can damage the hardware's finish and discolor Biothane. Once the gear has dried, put it away to avoid premature hardware rusting and wear.

Before packaging the gear for shipment, we make every effort to ensure that it is flawless and ready for fun adventures. Each item is handcrafted in our home studio.

After I place my order, can I change it?

After placing an order, if you decide to modify the size or colour, we can typically accommodate the modification. We frequently begin working on your order within a few hours, so we can't always promise that we'll be able to make changes to an order after you've made a purchase.

Can you package and ship my orders together if I place a second order before my first one ships?

Yes! Send us a message and we'd be pleased to combine your orders.

What size should I order?

Despite the fact that we are always willing to assist, it is difficult for us to make a precise advise without having any measurements or knowledge about your dog. If you're still unclear about the size after reading the helpful sizing guidance and taking your dog's measurement, please shoot us a message and the team will be happy to talk it over with you and offer our best recommendations.

I just noticed that I listed an outdated address. Could you solve this?

It occurs! In most cases, we can change the address for you if your order hasn't been dispatched yet. There are several choices if your order has already been dispatched. You can use your tracking number to sign up for a Package Redirect on the USPS website if you're in the United States.
