Why BioThane® is Our Go-To Material for All Dogs

Every dog deserves gear that can keep up with their adventures. Whether it’s a sunny beach day, a muddy trail, or a rainy afternoon walk, we've got you covered.

At Rescue & Roam, we don’t just make gear that looks cute. We make gear that lasts, performs, and keeps you and your dog worry-free. That’s why BioThane® is our material of choice for leashes, collars, and harnesses - the adventure-ready material every dog needs.

Just like Nala, who explores the world in her wheelchair thanks to Tyson’s Love and Hope on Wheels, we want every dog, no matter their adventure style, to move freely, safely, and comfortably.

 

About BioThane®

BioThane® is a high‑quality coated webbing material made in the USA. It is manufactured in North Ridgeville, Ohio, and designed to be stronger, cleaner, and more durable than traditional materials like leather or nylon. 

At its core, BioThane starts with a polyester webbing base that’s wrapped in a protective coating. This gives it a smooth outer surface that’s completely waterproof, odor resistant, and easy to clean - all without the upkeep that leather and nylon require.

Fun Fact: this material is also widely popular in the horse industry because it stays flexible, strong, and reliable even in muddy, wet, or dusty conditions.


 

💧 Waterproof 

Traditional collars and leashes soak up water and mud, leaving you with soggy gear and long drying times. BioThane® is completely waterproof, so your gear stays light, clean, and ready for any adventure, from beach runs to puddle jumps.

💩 Stinkproof & Odor-Free

Ever notice how nylon collars or leashes start to smell after a few wet walks? BioThane doesn’t absorb odors, so your gear stays fresh, no matter how many muddy walks or wet beach days you’ve had. Just wipe it clean and you’re good to go.

💪 Durable & Adventure-Ready

Dogs don’t take it easy, and neither should your gear. BioThane is heavy-duty and built to last, it won’t fray, rot, or break after just a few months of use.

🧼 Easy to Clean & Maintain

Life with dogs is messy, but cleaning your gear doesn’t have to be. BioThane wipes down in seconds - soap, water, wipe, done. No soaking. No endless scrubbing. No drying overnight. Your gear stays ready for the next adventure.

 

Why We Chose BioThane

At Rescue & Roam, every product is made with function, durability, and dogs in mind. BioThane combines all the qualities we need for gear that actually keeps up with real dogs.

Just like Nala, our gear is made for dogs who never stop exploring; whatever their adventure looks like.
