Your dog needs a leash so he can stay safely tethered to you when you are away from home. This is particularly important when visiting a new place. How can you choose a leash that will keep your pet safe?

Your little fur ball will need you to consider how rough he is on a leash, as this will help you determine the durability that is required to keep him with you. This may also help you choose an appropriate material for the leash to be made from. Make sure you choose a leash that is an ideal length for the place you are heading and what you are able to comfortably hold onto the other end. It should also be able to hook securely to your pet’s collar or harness. Your local Fox Chapel, PA veterinarian can offer additional guidance.
