Collars here fit 9–27.5 inch necks. Measure the neck, not the old collar.
Every length made in this collection. Leads here run 120–200cm.
Fully waterproof, mud-proof and built to last. BioThane® wipes clean in seconds, does not absorb smell, and does not crack, fade or degrade through seasons of hard use.
Every waterproof dog collar and lead in this collection is handmade to order at my Oxford studio. Customisable by colour, hardware finish and size, built to your dog's exact measurements, not a generic S/M/L approximation.
The best choice for water dogs, beach walks, muddy fields, and owners who are done with collars that smell after one swim.
The range covers a customisable BioThane dog collar, the simplified Fixie, a half check option, and matching waterproof BioThane dog leads, including a short handle traffic lead for close control.
If you are weighing up materials, my BioThane dog collar guide covers the practical detail and the waterproof dog collar guide compares it with the alternatives. For sizing, the measuring guide takes two minutes. For a whippet, lurcher or greyhound, the sighthound collars set out the choice between a wide panel and a half check. If you would rather have rope in the hand, the rope and paracord range dries fast, though it will never wipe clean the way this does.
Built to your dog's exact measurement should mean the fit lands right, and if it does not, tell me and I will adjust or remake it at no cost to you under the Perfect Fit Guarantee. Choosing your own colour, hardware and size does make a piece made to your specification, which puts it outside the 14-day cancellation right, so send the measurement over before I cut rather than after. The returns page covers it.
Frequently asked questions
What is BioThane?
BioThane is a polyester webbing coated in polyurethane. The polyester core gives the strength of a webbing lead, the polyurethane coating makes it fully waterproof, wipe-clean and odour-resistant. It does not absorb water, mud or smell.
Are BioThane dog collars actually waterproof?
Yes, in the full sense. The collar can be submerged, swum in, washed under a tap and left wet without damage. Most "water-resistant" collars are fabric with a coating that fails after a few seasons, BioThane is plastic-coated through the core.
Does a BioThane collar smell after swimming?
No. The non-porous coating means there is nothing for bacteria to grow on. A wipe with a damp cloth returns it to like-new. This is the main reason owners of swimming dogs switch to BioThane.
Is BioThane suitable for dogs with sensitive skin?
BioThane is hypoallergenic and contains no animal product. It is one of the better choices for dogs that react to leather treatments, dyed fabric or rough-woven materials. The smooth surface does not catch or pull at coats.
Are Green Dog BioThane collars made to order?
Yes. Every BioThane collar and lead is cut, riveted and stitched after you order, with your chosen colour, hardware and exact size. Lead time is 2 to 6 working days.
Green Dog is not a brand. It is a studio. One person, one workbench, one standard. Every collar and lead is made by hand in Oxford — tested, measured, finished. You are not buying from a supply chain. You are buying directly from the person who made it.
