Why did no one think of this before? A dog lead with lights on it!
These dog leads are not only functional but they’re super stylish with their practical lights on them and different colours. They charge up with a USB lead which is included (it’s only about 20 centimetres long though) which you plug into your computer and then charge the lead with it. The button is near the collar and once you press it, the led lights keep flashing. There are several settings though, from fast flash, slow flash and then on continuously. Depending on which lead you purchase, the lights are either white or coloured lights – so you can tell which dog is which in the dark just by the leads!
The leads are rechargeable in less than a hour and the lights continue on for around 8 hours. You have to switch them off yourself though with the button on the control. They look really stylish in low light and are essential when it’s really dark, which is quite often in winter when you’re in a park or woodland that isn’t lit at all.
The leads come in 2 colours (black and red) and there are various sizes. You have to measure the girth and breast of your dog and the website calculates which size you need. The leads are all 25 millimetres but the lengths are different. We were sent a length of 130 centimetres which was ample for a medium sized dog. The lead is made of a wipe-clean material and even though it has lights included, it’s water resistant (although not waterproof so not good if your dog likes a swim!) and the USB charging point has a close on it to stop mud or water getting into the socket.
Make your mind up if this is a gift for you or for your dog but either way, it’s a brilliantly fun plus safety conscious idea!
