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.

Thank you so much, Ryker! I’m so glad the Element BioThane tug toy turned out exactly how you envisioned it, and it’s awesome that your dog is so ball-motivated for training. I hope it becomes a favorite for fetch, engagement work, and everyday interactive play!
My 9 moth old puppy loved it. We. had a great play session after some training. I let him hold it for like 2 minutes after we played, and he already has nearly chewed through it. I know it says not a chew toy, but I didn't think that meant it would get chewed through that fast. So bummed!
Well made and well and exactly what I needed.
Thanks so much! I’m glad the Element Sewn BioThane Tug Toy was exactly what you needed and that the quality hit the mark. I really appreciate your support!
Simply the best! We need to order about 6 more to make sure we always have them available (cars etc).
Thanks so much—love hearing that! I’m glad the Element Sewn BioThane Tug Toy has become a favorite, and having a few extras on hand sounds like a great plan. Really appreciate your support!
Excellent seller with phenomenal customer service and products. The tugs I received are Belgian Tervuren and Belgian Malinois approved. They hold up to the strength, bite and weight of my pack. I highly recommend these tugs and this seller (who is also a great person who rescues working breeds). I am beyond pleased with my purchase!
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing our Element Sewn BioThane Tug for your Belgian Tervuren and Belgian Malinois!

The colors and durability are PERFECT. This is Rosie's new fav toy, I love it for tug, and retrieves, and it is easy to clean off the mud! We will be back from more toys, thanks for contributing to shelters!
I had purchased two previously for my border collies. They love playing fetch with these toys. They are very well made and easy to clean. I would highly recommend and will be a repeat customer
Great product. As described and high quality
This easily became my dog's favorite toy! Months later, and he still loves it! We just got a new puppy, and he loves it too haha now I'm back to order another! Very good quality materials, this thing is so sturdy and even stands up to the strong bite of my border heeler. Highly recommend!
Our 3 dogs LOVE their bolder tugs! Humans love the sturdy biothane and stitching. Win for everyone

Great item! My dog is obsessed!
My SDiT Stella LOOOOVES it! Will be using for her training :)
So far it seems pretty good quality. Our 5 month golden retriever pup likes it. She has chewed and tugged on the handle, but no signs of wear yet!
Loved this tug! All three of my Dobermans absolutely love it! I’m teaching the art of fetch with this toy and it’s going wonderfully!!
.great dog toy its sturdy
.looks the same as the color scheme I wanted
.delivery took way to long tho
My dog loves his new ball, it arrived super quickly.
Havent really gotten a chance to use it yet but feels like its great quality!
I have purchased several different products from Bolder K9, always fast shipping and excellent quality!
I left my dog (a husky) with the toy for 5mins and she was able to destroy the rubber handle. I guess I just paid for an overpriced Chew King ball.
Great Quality and came fast my boy loves them
I received my custom elemental tug and it's perfect! I got the chew king for my future golden retriever puppy in May and I can't wait to introduce it to them. Bolder k9 did a great job, they deliver amazing quality with customizations to fit every person with their pooch.
Perfect tug toy for my puppy
