How to choose

Start with the leash and ID

A comfortable leash and an up-to-date ID tag are the essentials. Keep your microchip details current too.

Add weather gear for your climate

A raincoat keeps a dog drier on wet walks. Measure your dog and check the coat leaves room for the harness and legs to move freely.

Wild One Lightweight vs Waterproof Leash

Questions, answered

What length leash is best?

Six feet is the everyday standard: enough slack for sniffing, short enough for control on the pavement.

What should go on a dog ID tag?

Your phone number first, then your dog's name, and any short note you'd want a finder to see. Keep it legible on the size you choose.
