99% of our metalware is crafted from solid brass, an alloy primarily composed of copper and zinc. Both copper and zinc are finite resources.

Our solid brass metalware is exclusively and purposefully designed to be lightweight, yet it boasts outstanding strength and durability. This ensures it can endure the wear and tear our products are subjected to over several years — and even decades.

We choose high-quality, lightweight solid brass for good reason. Unlike common metals used in pet accessories, high-quality brass is naturally resistant to corrosion, meaning it lasts longer and maintains its strength over time—reducing the need for replacements.

Its lighter weight also ensures comfort for your dog, without compromising durability or security.

The majority of solid brass hardware used in the pet accessory industry is known to be of lower quality. While in many industries "solid brass" is typically associated with high quality, that unfortunately isn't always the case in ours. Many so-called "solid brass" products contain high levels of zinc—and even lead—compromising both durability and safety. This not only makes the hardware heavier but also weaker, increasing the risk of corrosion, discoloration, and breakage over time.

What makes this even more concerning is the lack of legal standards or certifications regulating brass quality. As a result, manufacturers can label their hardware as "solid brass" without adhering to any specific criteria, making it difficult for customers to tell the difference between truly high-quality and inferior alternatives.

European REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation, and Restriction of Chemicals)

Under REACH, brass hardware may contain restricted substances, such as lead or other heavy metals, that require strict regulation or substitution. If a product contains more than 0.1% lead, it must comply with additional safety and disclosure requirements, and in some cases, its use may be limited.
