Ancol Viva Padded Lead Lime 1m x 19mm

Ancol Viva Padded Lead – Lime, 1m x 19mm

Lime is the loudest colour in the Viva padded lead range and the reason most people pick it, so it is worth saying plainly what it does and does not do. In daylight and dull weather a lime lead is genuinely easier to see — useful on a shared path, and useful for anyone else spotting that your dog is on a lead at all. In the dark it does nothing. Ancol publish no reflective element, no reflective stitching and no visibility distance for this lead, and there is none stated here because there is none to state.

Underneath the colour it is the 19mm width, which Ancol rate for dogs up to 50kg, on the same metre of length as the rest of the range. Lime is a 19mm-only colour here; there is no lime in the 12mm. If you want a lead that works after dark, that is a reflective or lit product rather than a bright one, and Ancol make those separately.

Performance & Benefits

• 19mm width, which Ancol rate for dogs up to 50kg.
• High-visibility lime, easily picked out in daylight and poor weather.
• Cushioned neoprene padded handle.
• Satin-finish snap hook.
• 1m length, weatherproof poly-weave webbing, washable at 30°C.
• Plastic-free, widely recyclable packaging.

Suitable For

• Dogs up to 50kg on Ancol's guidance for this width.
• Shared paths, cycle routes and busy parks in daylight.
• Anyone who loses a black lead in a black car boot.
• Owners who want the brightest option in the range.
• Not a night-walking lead — there is no reflective element. The Ancol Blinker Orange LED Dog Safety Light is the answer for dark mornings. Lime is not made in the 12mm width, so a small dog wanting a narrower lead needs the Ancol Viva Padded Lead Pink 1m x 12mm or the black.

How to Use

• Clip the snap hook to the collar loop or harness ring and check the gate has shut.
• Padded handle over the wrist, hand on the webbing below it.
• Wash it more often than a dark lead — lime shows every mark, which is the price of the colour.
• Machine wash at 30°C, no bleach, no tumble drying, no direct heat. Air dry fully.

Specification

• 1m (100cm) long, 19mm (1.9cm) wide. Lime.

• Ancol product code 135960.
• Ancol publish no reflectivity, no visibility distance and no reflective stitching for this lead. Any high-visibility benefit is daylight colour only.

Care & Caution

• Do not treat a bright lead as a night-safety product. Use a light or a reflective lead after dark.
• Check the snap hook and the stitching behind it before every walk.
• No bleach, even on a stained lime lead — it will not survive it.
• Not a tie-out or tether, and not a chew toy.
• No tumble drying and no radiator drying.
