Stainless Steel: Known for its strength, durability, & low maintenance attributes. Perfect for all those salty beach adventures.
Black Metal: made from heavy duty solid brass, which will not rust making it another great option for those water loving dogs. Our black hardware is PVD treated (with the exception of our screws). PVD="Physical Vapor Deposition”. It produces an extremely durable finish to prevent scratching. Often, black hardware that is found on the market is not PVD, and is basically, considered powder-coated causing it to chip and scratch off within days. PVD plating is the process used to plate high end hardware and the only successful way to make a black that will not wear off.
Nickel: Traditional hardware that is seen on most pet gear. It heavy duty, durable, & perfect for any dog type; however, it is not recommended for those intense salty beach adventures.
