Are Outer Space Dog Gear counterbalance handles and pull straps rigid, semi-rigid, or flexible?

Outer Space Dog Gear counterbalance handles and pull straps are made with flexible biothane.

Can you make a service dog harness that is adjustable for my growing dog?

While Outer Space Dog Gear service dog harnesses do have a small amount of adjustability, they are intended only for dogs whose bodies are fully developed. These harnesses are designed for fully grown service dogs who have received appropriate veterinary clearance for mobility related tasks. Mobility work should not be performed by dogs that are still growing.

Should I choose a y-front or straight front harness for my service dog?

Both y-front and straight front harnesses are widely used by service dog teams, and neither is inherently better than the other. The right choice often depends on the individual dog, the handler’s preferences, and how the harness will be used day to day.

What is biothane?

Biothane is like leather, but better. It's manufactured in the USA with polyester webbing and PVC coating. It’s waterproof, stinkproof, easy to clean, and comes in a galaxy of vibrant colors.

Is biothane chew-proof?

Biothane is tough, but no gear is truly chew-proof. If your dog likes to chew through leashes or collars, we recommend supervising them while wearing the gear and storing items out of reach when not in use.

Is biothane stain-proof?

While regular cleaning can help prevent stains from setting, biothane unfortunately is not stain-proof.

How do I clean my dog's gear?

Biothane is waterproof and stinkproof, which makes cleaning a breeze. Just rinse with water or wipe it down with a damp cloth. For tougher messes, a little soap and water does the trick.

Is the hardware metal or plastic?

Outer Space Dog Gear is made with metal hardware.

Do you use rivets or screws?

Outer Space Dog Gear is made with chicago screws that are glued down for safety.

My dog is between sizes or outside of the available size range. Can you customize the size?

Can I add custom text to my dog's gear?

Yes. Many of our collars, leashes, and more can be customized with text like a DO NOT PET warning, identifying your service dog, and more. If custom text is available as an option, you'll see it on the product page. You can also view all products with custom text as an option in the custom text biothane dog gear collection.

How well does the lettering hold up?

The lettering holds up well under normal conditions. If it doesn't, we'll repair or replace it within one year of purchase.

Does the glitter shed?
