⚠ Retractable Leads ⚠

Ensuring the safety of your pets and others is incredibly important when using a retractable lead.

While retractable leads are appealing for their flexibility, it's vital to be aware of the potential risks and consequences that come with using them

🐾They can contribute towards bad walking behaviour and pulling.
We have seen many animals suffer from painful neck and back injuries with long-lasting effects.
Retractable leads can cause a snapback effect, that may result in injuries to the trachea and neck vertebrae.
An injured trachea can also lead to a persistent cough and affect your pet's breathing

🐾It's crucial to keep in mind, that even if your pet is not aggressive, how their behaviour might be seen by other animals.
Retractable leads can pose unexpected risks, as they allow pets to stray into the personal space of other dogs heightening the chances of conflicts.
The time it takes to pull back from an aggressive dog varies significantly between a retractable lead and a standard lead.
This disparity could be the difference between preventing an injury and a potential incident.

🐾When you're out walking your dog near the roadside, it's essential to select the appropriate lead.
We highly recommend using a regular walking lead, as it offers better control and safety for your pet.
During your walks, your dog will experience a variety of stimulating, captivating, and occasionally frightening situations.
Dogs on retractable leads have the freedom to run in any direction or chase something that grabs their attention, limiting your control.
A regular walking lead can prevent the danger of road accidents and injury.

🐾Excessive lengths of lead can pose a risk, not only to you and your dog but also to passersby, as they can become tangled or present a tripping hazard.

🐾However, we acknowledge that retractable leads can be useful when used carefully in a safe and open area, as they can aid in providing dogs with more freedom.

🐾If you choose to use them, please carefully evaluate your surroundings to ensure the safety of your pets and those around you. 💕
