Biothane Leashes: The Ultimate Guide

Biothane Leashes: The Ultimate Guide

When it comes to selecting the perfect leash for your dog, the choices go beyond just material and color. A crucial component that often gets overlooked is the hardware—the clips, rings, and buckles that hold everything together. 

Choosing the right clip for your Biothane leash is essential for ensuring durability, safety, and ease of use. At Bolder K9, we offer several clip options, each designed to meet the specific needs of both you and your dog:

  1. Nickel Plate (Standard)

    • Best for: Daily walks with small to medium dogs. This clip offers a reliable hold for dogs that don’t require heavy-duty control.
  2. Brass (Heavy Duty)

    • Best for: Large dogs or dogs that tend to pull. The heavy-duty construction provides extra strength for more active or stronger dogs.
  3. Rainbow (Heavy Duty)

    • Best for: Medium to large dogs, or those looking for both style and strength. The rainbow hardware adds a pop of color while maintaining durability for larger breeds.
  4. Frog-Style (Super Duty)

    • Best for: Working dogs or very strong pullers. This super-duty clip ensures maximum security and is ideal for high-energy or professional K9s.
  5. Carabiner (Super Duty)

    • Best for: K9 handlers or owners who need a quick-release function for strong or working dogs. Perfect for those who need fast adjustments in high-tension environments.
  6. Stainless Steel (Super Duty)
    • Best for: K9 handlers or adventurers that need a durable, strong standard clip option that can withstand the elements.
