Ancol Polka Dot Dog Lead Nylon Walking Leash

Ancol SOHO Polka Dot Dog Lead – 100cm

Two details separate this from a plain webbing lead: the handle is padded, and there is a D-ring at the handle end for hanging a poop bag dispenser. Both are the sort of thing you notice on the third walk rather than in the photograph. The lead itself is 100cm long, 1.9cm wide and rated for dogs up to 50kg.

It is made from 100% recycled fabric in the SOHO navy-and-white polka dot, and Ancol put the saving at three plastic bottles kept from landfill for this lead alone. The matching Polka Dot dispenser and scrunchie is designed to hang from that D-ring.

Performance & Benefits

• 100cm long, 1.9cm wide, rated for dogs up to 50kg.
• Padded handle, which tells on a dog that leans into the lead.
• D-ring at the handle end for a matching poop bag dispenser.
• 100% recycled fabric; Ancol quote three plastic bottles kept from landfill.
• Suitable for all weathers.
• Supplied in plastic-reduced, widely recycled packaging.

Suitable For

• Dogs up to 50kg, walked on either a collar or a harness.
• Owners who would rather the bag dispenser rode on the lead than in a pocket.
• Anyone whose hands suffer on plain, unpadded webbing.
• Matching the SOHO Polka Dot collar in S, M or L, or the Daisy & Polka Dot reversible harness.
• Not a training lead or a long line — 1m keeps a dog at your side and nothing more. A dog that hits the end of the lead hard should be on the reversible harness rather than a collar with this lead.

How to Use

• Clip to the collar's lead ring or the harness ring, and check the clip has snapped fully shut.
• Hang the poop bag dispenser on the handle D-ring, not on the clip end.
• Loop the handle over the wrist and gather slack in the hand.
• Rinse mud off after wet walks and air dry fully before storing.

Specification

• Length 100cm. Width 1.9cm. Rated for dogs up to 50kg.
• 100% recycled fabric, with a padded handle and a D-ring at the handle end.
• Ancol product code 341395.
• Ancol quote a saving of three plastic bottles from landfill for this lead.
• Ancol publish no washing instructions on this lead's page and no fibre breakdown beyond 100% recycled fabric, so neither is stated here. Their newer SOHO collar and lead pages are rated for a 30°C machine wash with no tumble drying.

Care & Caution

• Check the clip spring and the stitching at both ends before every walk.
• Do not use the lead as a tether or tie-out.
• Replace it if the webbing frays, the handle padding splits, or the clip stops closing cleanly.
