Very Important Note: This is NOT a breakaway collar and so it is not meant for unsupervised use on cats. This thin 1/2" (12mm) Biothane cat collar in any of our 37 Biothane colours! Our best collar yet for scratching, won't shred like nylon collars. It will stay clean, won't fray or loose its bright colour. It is flexible, waterproof and cleans up fast with water (and soap if needed - I just recommend after it's off the cat)! Available with stainless steel hardware or solid brass hardware.
COLLAR SIZE (Measured from mid buckle to centre hole):
Extra Small - 5.5" to 8.5" (7 holes) - kitten or small cat
Small- 7" to 10" (7 holes) - small to regular sized cat
Medium- 8.5" to 11.5" (7 holes) - regular to larger sized cat
Large- 10" to 13" (7 holes) - large to chonky sized cat
or Custom larger - Please leave a note as to your cats neck size.
MATTE BLACK: Is a coated hardware, so scratches can mark it and chip it.
Also! I have just a little of the discontinued colours: Mint Green and Pastel Blue, (in the photos), if you would like these- let me know. :)

Our thin small dog collars are made with a lighter weight ST Beta BioThane in 1/2" (12mm) width. Biothane is waterproof, maintenance free and will not absorb mould, mildew or odours. You could say it's "Unicorn Leather", right? We construct, design, photograph, and hand-make all items in Canada.
Note: Please check collars and leashes on a regular basis and repair or replace any damaged parts for safety reasons. Leashes and collars are your responsibility once you receive them, always keep your dog’s safety in mind and use responsibly. We ship from Canada.

Materials and care
For Biothane:
Genuine Beta Biothane
solid brass or stainless steel hardware
end sealed in matching shade
rivets (either solid brass or nickel plate solid brass)
Cleaning is a snap! You can use soap and water for most dirt/salt water. Polish solid brass and stainless steel with a slurry made of white vinegar and baking soda (foamy but works great) and rinse off after. Even a disinfecting bleach dip (10%) is fine. Magic erasers work well for stubborn stains.
For Tartan ribbon or Nylon collars:
Genuine Tartan Ribbons from Scotland
strong nylon webbing
nickle plated hardware
thread for sewing
Cleaning of fabric type collars is usually done by hand or gentle cycle in the washing machine. Use gentle soap, no harsh chemicals. Let air dry fully.
Handcrafted with love, made to order just for you. No drop shipping involved.
Martingale, Chain Martingale- it's a pass-over-head style (tartans) or opens fully (Biothane); measure neck and largest part of head. Adjust to fit once on.
Side Release (also called quick release or side squeeze)- it opens fully, so just the neck size is needed to fit. Adjust the size then buckle around neck.
Breakaway- basically a side release that will pop open in any force is pulled on it. Mostly used in tag collars or cat collars.
Roller buckle (shoe buckle, belt style buckle)- opens fully, weave the end through the buckle and secure with tongue. Just need to have the neck size for it to fit, there is adjustment holes for sizes. We list size at the centre hole.
