All about products
We have put together a page for you with all the important tips on trade fairs. You can find them HERE
The Aqua products are made of the material BIOTHANE, which is an established brand.
Products with the addition BARK are made of a similar material, but not original BioThane, which is why we separate these two collections from each other.
You can find detailed details about the material in the respective product description.
📌 Why is width important?
Too narrow: Can cut in or cause pressure points.
Too wide: Can be uncomfortable or restrict movement.
If your dog pulls hard, the collar should also be wide enough so that the load can be distributed well
Small basic rule that can help you
Dogs under 20kg
25-30mm wide collars
Dogs from 20kg
40-50mm wide collars
This depends on various factors.
First, how tall and heavy is your dog? What breed is your dog?
Does your dog like to pull on the leash?
But also questions like, do I want to use the line often at the beach / lake.
Point A
Breaking load: You can find more information on breaking load below. Here, you should make sure you choose a carabiner that's suitable for your dog. For example, if your dog pulls very hard and weighs at least 35 kg, we would always recommend a Quick Release carabiner with a breaking load of approximately 400 kg or an Extreme Carabiner with a breaking load of approximately 500 kg.
Point B
You are often at the sea or lake, your leash is constantly in contact with sand.
For example, quick-release carabiners are significantly less prone to locking than bolt-type carabiners. However, if you regularly maintain your carabiners, e.g., with oil and other products, and immediately wash off sand in water, you'll generally experience fewer problems.
The breaking load information is important so that you know at what load a carabiner, for example, could break.
As an example:
Most dog breeds can develop a pulling load of up to 4 times their body weight. Sled breeds can even develop up to 8 times their body weight.
So if you have a 30kg dog that likes to pull or even jump on the leash, you should choose a carabiner and a collar strap, for example, that can withstand at least 120kg+.
You will always find the information in detail in the product description for the corresponding products.
The so-called frog carabiners are from one company.
We have our own quick-release carabiners with the same optics and mechanism
However, the Frog carabiner company has models with a much higher breaking load of up to 1 ton. So, if you have a particularly heavy dog and want to be on the safe side, as it may be reactive and often pull on the leash, we can order these on request. Please note that these are very expensive per piece, which is why we only offer them upon request.
This is a special mechanism that prevents the carabiner from opening on its own. Basic Bozen carabiners may open on their own, for example, due to leverage from a D-ring on the collar.
A safety lock carabiner prevents this.
Quick Release Carabiner
Here you have to press BOTH sides of the carabiner to open it. If you only press one, the carabiner won't open.
Safety bolt carabiner
It's similar here. The carabiner has a lever on the back. Only when this lever is activated does the carabiner open. This version is especially suitable for people who like the look of a bolt-action carabiner or perhaps don't have the cash for a more expensive version.
Depending on your desired color, this is certainly possible. Please let us know your preference using the contact form.
If you would like a specific RAL color, it would be perfect if you told us this directly in your message.
That's not a problem; many people experience the same thing. We'd be happy to work with you to find the right muzzle. You can find measuring instructions HERE . Feel free to send us this information, ideally with pictures of the measuring process, so we can see if you measured correctly.
You are also welcome to use our online initial consultation tool, but if you would like personal advice, this is of course always possible.
