These are the best dog leashes on the market — according to veterinarians and pet experts
Americans are spending more on their pets than ever before, according to a March 2019 report from the American Pet Products Association . With people shelling out upwards of $72 billion on their four-legged friends in 2018, up 4% from the previous year, APPA predicts that in this year alone we’ll spend more than $16 billion on pet supplies such as beds, collars, leashes, toys and other gear.
With more than 4,600 reviews on Amazon and 4.7 out of 5 stars, this heavy-duty leash is made of rock climbing rope and highly reflective threads for safer nighttime strolls. Measuring 5 feet in length, this leash comes with a padded foam handle for a comfortable grip and more control when walking, running or training a dog. “Reflective leashes are a wonderful idea because it improves visibility in low-light situations and it could save you or your dog’s life,” says McIntosh.
Another pro tip: Using a harness can increase leash effectiveness, McIntosh says. “If you’re currently training your dog or if your dog has behavioral problems, a harness helps prevent dogs from pulling and limits pressure on their neck.” She suggests the Easy Walk Harness by PetSafe to keep owners, their dogs and others nearby safe.
