Frequently Asked Questions
Everything you need to know about our handmade BioThane® gear, production timelines, shipping, care, sizing, and custom orders.
How do I care for my BioThane® gear? +
BioThane® is waterproof, odor-resistant, and easy to maintain. Most dirt wipes off with warm water and mild soap. For heavier messes, soak in diluted oxiclean (unscented), then rinse and dry thoroughly. We recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to strong DEET-based insect repellents, which may affect the coating over time.
What if my dog chews through an item? +
Our gear is designed for durability, but no product is chew-proof. Damage caused by chewing is not covered under warranty. If something happens unexpectedly, reach out — we’re always happy to review the situation and see what options may be available.
What is considered normal wear and tear? +
Normal wear includes cosmetic signs of use such as minor scuffs, scratches, fading, or coating wear on hardware over time. Black hardware may naturally show silver underneath with regular use — this is expected and cosmetic only. Wear from chewing, misuse, improper storage, or unsafe restraint is not covered.
How much is shipping and how long will my order take? +
Our production time for most orders is 2-3 weeks unless otherwise specified. Once shipped, delivery typically takes 1–5 business days depending on location. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout, with free shipping available on orders over $75. Need it sooner? We also offer expedited processing options when available.
How are your products packaged? +
Orders are packaged simply and intentionally to protect your gear while minimizing waste. We focus on practical packaging that gets your order safely to you — nothing excessive.
Do you offer returns or exchanges? +
Because most items are handmade to order, we generally do not accept returns on custom gear. If there is a sizing issue, please contact us — we’ll always do our best to help find a solution. If there is an issue with workmanship or a mistake on our end, we’ll make it right.
Can I cancel my order? +
Orders may be canceled within 24 hours of purchase. After that, production may already be underway and cancellations are no longer guaranteed.
Do you offer wholesale pricing? +
Yes. We work with select retailers, trainers, and partners who align with our brand and values. Contact us for more information about wholesale opportunities.
How do I choose the right size? +
Visit our sizing guide page to learn more about sizing. If you’re between sizes or unsure, reach out before ordering — we’re happy to help you choose the best fit for your dog.
Can BioThane® get wet? +
Yes — BioThane® is fully waterproof and made for muddy trails, rainy walks, dock diving, and everyday adventure. It won’t absorb water, hold odor, or stay soggy like traditional materials.

Maybe not suitable for like a seriously rippy pitbull or bully or something but still tough. honestly I’m obsessed with matching colors so the color selection is amazing. I don’t like the fluffy tugs, fat tugs or single and no handled tugs so these are awesome to be able to find in such amazing colors plus… biothane handles! They stay cleaner longer and I’d bet would do ok in the wash. I’m probably going to order a bunch just cuz they’re so pretty.
Thank you so much, Melissa! We're thrilled to hear the Cordura Bite Tug with BioThane Handles has been such a great fit for what you were looking for, and we love that you're enjoying all the color options. We really appreciate your thoughtful feedback and can't wait to make more colorful combinations for you in the future!
I switched this year to only shopping small and needed a new tug toy for my border collie/mastiff/bulldog mix. Tug is her favorite so it had to be TOUGH and well made. This toy is holding up so well and she’s obsessed with it. I love it and so does she.
Thank you so much, Carrie! We’re honored you chose to shop small with us and thrilled to hear the Cordura Bite Tug with BioThane Handles has been a hit with your pup. It means a lot to know it’s holding up strong and getting so much love.
Great quality can't wait to try it on the dock!
Thank you so much, Holly! I’m so glad the quality of the Cordura bite tug stood out to you, and I hope it works great for your dock diving sessions. Wishing you and your dog lots of fun, drive-building play, and big jumps ahead!
I love this tug! It floats well, great for dock diving. My shepherd loves it and had held up well to his tugging.
I absolutely LOVE how this turned out! My dog needed a new bumper for Dock diving & I cannot wait till this weekend to show it off! :)
Thank you so much to BolderK9 for making a small bite tug for my small dog!! I was really interested in getting one for my 16lbs schnauzer and they went out of their way to make a “puppy” size version. So far he loves it and it’s holding up super well!
Thank you so much for the kind words, Nikki! We were really excited to make you a custom Bite tug for your pup, especially as a smaller size! We love getting creative with our gear and are happy you approached us with this project. We hope you both get tons of playtime out of it!
I ordered the Mini Tug with 2 Handles and LOVE IT! It’s a great size and very well executed in design and sturdiness!
Thanks so much, Abbey! We're thrilled to hear you're loving the Cordura Bite Tug with BioThane Handles and that the Mini Tug with 2 Handles is the perfect size for your needs. We truly appreciate your support and hope it brings you and your dog many great training sessions!
Very good quality my Apbt, Great Pyrenees, lab, gsd mix LOVES it
Thanks so much, Alaigha! We're thrilled to hear your pup is loving the Cordura Bite Tug with BioThane Handles and that you're happy with the quality. We truly appreciate your support and hope it brings you both plenty of fun training and playtime!
the fabric is tightly woven and slick, so if your dog does bite it, they cant grip it which elevates the puncture issue. which is great!!
Thanks so much for your thoughtful review! I’m really glad you noticed the tightly woven, slick material on the Cordura Bite Tug with BioThane Handles and how it helps reduce gripping and puncture damage during tug work and training. It means a lot to hear the durability and design of this handmade bite tug are working exactly as intended — I truly appreciate your support!
This is my malinois most favorite toy! I had gotten one before with one handle and wanted a second that looked similar with two handles. Thank you for customizing it for him!!
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear the Cordura Bite Tug with BioThane Handles is your malinois’s absolute favorite, and we’re glad the two-handle custom version was just what you were looking for. It means a lot that you trusted us to make something special for him.
Quality product. Appreciate the customization of omitting the handles. Great communication on the order and shipping. The information card in the mailer pouch on the bite tug was helpful - as this was a gift and handy to give with it. Shipped very nicely.
Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review! We're glad to hear that you are satisfied with the quality of our Cordura Bite Tug. We understand that customization is important, and we're happy to accommodate your request to omit the handles. We also appreciate your feedback on our communication and packaging. Thank you for choosing our product as a gift and for your kind words. We hope to serve you again in the future.
Very friendly seller! I got a beautiful tug for my dog, and he loves it. They were quick to construct and ship out my custom item. I plan to use this as a dock bumper next season! Can't wait.
Thank you so much! We’re thrilled to hear your dog is loving the Cordura Bite Tug with BioThane Handles and that the custom process was a great experience for you. We can’t wait for it to get some dock time next season and truly appreciate your support.
I love it! Definitely upped our dock diving game.
Thank you so much, Rain! I absolutely love hearing that the Cordura bite tug helped level up your dock diving game — that’s awesome. I really appreciate your support, and I hope it continues to be a favorite reward toy for training, drive building, and big jumps off the dock!
High quality material, waterproof, and the dog loves it!!
Thank you so much, Louise! I’m so glad you and your dog are loving the Cordura bite tug, and it’s great to hear the waterproof materials and quality stood out to you. I hope it continues to be a favorite for training, tug sessions, and interactive play!
So far, it has withstood two Belgian Malinois sending into it and hasn’t torn or shown any major signs of damage. Definitely one of the better handmade tugs on the market! The color is a HUGE plus too!
Thanks so much for the awesome review! I’m glad to hear the Cordura Bite Tug with BioThane Handles is already holding up strong during training with your Belgian Malinois and showing the durability I designed these handmade bite tugs for. It means a lot to hear the quality and colors stood out, and I truly appreciate your support of my working dog gear!
Awesome item and quality. I've bought a handful of items from them and none disappoint 10/0
Thanks so much for your continued support! I’m so glad you’ve been happy with the quality of the Cordura Bite Tug with BioThane Handles and your other purchases as well. Really appreciate the kind words!
Nicely built! My K9 went bananas over it!
The pup just loves it!
Great toy, fairly large and seems super strong. My dog loves it, using it for dock diving. Thank so much.
The first tug I ordered somehow ripped but Bolder K9 made me a replacement one and was so helpful/kind throughout the process. The new one holds up great with my 8 month old GSD pup. He loves it and so do I! Would highly recommend!
The item came exactly as I ordered it, colors are perfect, high quality, great attention to quality on the stitching. I took it out of the package & my boy is already obsessed with it. Can't wait to try it out at dock this weekend! Thank you!
New pool toys for the dogs. Float as advertised and are very sturdy.
Beautiful colors and fantastic quality!
Loving our new tug, thank you so much!! :)
