Introducing Mailo & Friends by SPRENGER, our exclusive collection of Biothane leashes and collars!

Read on to learn more about our new line and discover the inspiration behind Mailo & Friends.

What is Biothane?

Biothane is a leather-like material made from polyester fabric coated with TPU (thermoplastic polyurethane) or PVC (polyvinyl chloride), offering remarkable properties that make it ideal for various applications. Originally crafted by a company of the same name in Ohio, USA, Biothane® has been a trusted name in the industry since 1977.

Why Choose Biothane Dog Leashes and Collars?

Biothane is a game-changer for dog leashes and collars. Here’s why:

  • Durability: Biothane is tear-resistant, dirt-resistant, and easy to clean. It is also antibacterial, mold-resistant, and UV-resistant, making it perfect for all weather conditions.
  • Comfort: Both dogs and humans will love the feel of Biothane. It’s soft and flexible, similar to leather, but it’s waterproof and doesn’t absorb moisture. It also remains supple even in cold weather, unlike leather.
  • Maintenance-Free: Forget about worrying over your dog’s gear getting ruined by the elements. Biothane leashes and collars don’t stiffen, even in the rain or snow, making them perfect for year-round use.

The Story Behind Mailo & Friends by SPRENGER

You may already know Mailo, the black miniature poodle who has become a familiar face on our social media and website. As the beloved dog of the Sprenger family, Mailo is the inspiration behind our new Mailo & Friends by SPRENGER brand.

The story begins with our 2.0 mm chain collars. As a small dog, Mailo couldn’t wear our usual heavy-duty chain collars, which were too thick for him. We knew this needed to change! Who better to test out our products than the Sprenger family dog? Our goal was clear: provide Mailo with custom products that embodied the same quality as our chain collars but in a size suitable for smaller dogs.

This inspired us to create lightweight yet durable dog gear for small dogs, and before we knew it, Mailo & Friends was born. As our brand grew, we recognized a demand for quality collars and leashes for larger, heavier dog breeds. We wanted to offer SPRENGER-quality hardware for big dogs too, so we looked for materials that matched our high standards – and we found it in Biothane®.

After rigorous testing and product development, we’re thrilled to introduce our collection of Biothane® dog leashes and collars—the perfect blend of design, quality, and durability.

What Makes Mailo & Friends Biothane® Products Stand Out?

What sets Mailo & Friends by SPRENGER Biothane leashes and collars apart from other products on the market? It’s simple:

  • Unmatched Quality: Our Biothane® is manufactured in the USA and paired with SPRENGER hardware, crafted in Germany for ultimate durability and safety.
  • Stronger Stitching: Unlike riveted options, our leashes and collars are sewn, ensuring added strength and reliability.
  • Built for All Dogs: These leashes are designed to withstand the toughest conditions, making them ideal for large breeds as well as small dogs.

These leashes are perfect for both everyday use and training, offering a range of features:

  • Easy to clean and highly robust
  • Great grip, even when wet
  • Available in vibrant colors to suit your dog’s personality

Biothane Short Leash

Do you love our nylon SPRENGER leashes but want to try something new? We’re now offering short leashes made from the same high-quality Super Heavy Biothane® used in our other products. These short leashes are designed for quick and controlled handling, whether you're walking your dog or training.

What is a Short Leash?

A short leash typically measures around 1 foot in length and is ideal for medium to large dogs. It’s designed for use in controlled environments, like dog parks or obedience training, and is often used alongside a longer leash. The big advantage? It allows you to keep your dog close to you when needed or quickly gain control when necessary.

Complete your dog’s look with our adjustable Biothane® collars. These collars are equipped with a high-quality SPRENGER stainless steel assembly chain, offering extra flexibility and security. The assembly chain ensures that the collar can be put on and removed without a clasp and prevents choking with its pull-stop feature.
