Meet the Dogs Behind the Brand

Mercury

Mercury is a three year old Great Dane. He enjoys long walks to his food bowl and belly scratches. His hobbies are: doing zoomies at 2am, flinging drool onto the walls, stealing mittens and frolicking with them, and impersonating a miniature pony. Most days you can find him peering out of the car windows while on the way to his next adventure or public appearance. Mercury's role in Butter Danish is product tester. He tests prototypes to make sure new products can withstand pulling to chase squirrels, tons of slobber, and being used as a chew toy (which is not recommended).

Mantequilla

Mantequilla is a two year old rescue from Peru. Her talents include: being an elite creek swimmer, a dead fish finder, a master excavator, and a stealthy couch sleeper. Nothing makes her happier than a few dropped crumbs and a warm place to curl up. Her barrel shaped body and thin head make her perfect for the position of product model. From slip collars and martingales to harnesses and leashes, Mantequilla has the sass and style to pull it off.

About Biothane

Biothane is polyester webbing with a TPU or PVC coating that makes it more durable, waterproof, easy to clean and weldable. Its a great alternative to leather because it's durable, cleanable, stronger and easier to maintain. It is also available in different fade resistant colors. We stock Biothane in a variety of widths and colors, and if there is a width or color you don't see on our site, we can order it for you!

About Butter Danish

I started this company last year after looking for a collar and leash material that could withstand my dog's active lifestyle. Traditional nylon and fabric collars often got ruined or stained beyond repair on hikes and beach trips, or stayed smelly for months (sometimes years) after we last used them. It was also difficult to find strong and affordable dog gear for big dogs, or dogs that needed a martingale and liked to chew on the leash. Biothane was the perfect material - easy to clean, did not pick up the smells of the creek or river, came in a variety of widths and colors, and durable. I design each product with my own dogs in mind: strong enough to withstand a lot of force and use over time, weather resistant, and adventure ready! I hope you enjoy your Butter Danish gear as much as I enjoyed making it.
