When it comes to choosing the best leash for your dog, it makes sense to look to the experts – vets. Veterinarians see countless dogs every day and understand the nuances of leash design that contribute to safety, comfort, and practicality. In this blog, we’ll explore the types of leashes vets commonly recommend, and why Ziippup leads stand out as a vet-recommended option in Australia.
Standard leads
A standard flat lead is the go-to for most dog owners, and it’s often recommended by vets for its simplicity. Vets favour these leashes for basic training and everyday walks because they’re lightweight and easy to use.
However, when you add attachments such as poo bag holders and treat bags to the lead, the leash isn’t so simple and light anymore. These attachments add significant weight and pose a distraction for both dogs and owners. Some dogs are even frightened of these dangly bags.
Ziippup’s unique lead with built-in poo bag holder eliminates the need for attachments. The no-dangle and lightweight design is recommended by vets, and the leads are available in vet clinics across Sydney.
Adjustable leads
Adjustable leads provide flexibility, allowing owners to adapt the length for different walking scenarios. Vets often recommend these for dogs who need more controlled walking environments.
Using the D-ring, you can easily fold and shorten your Ziippup lead to just 75cm and use it as a traffic lead.
Harness compatible leads
Vets often recommend that breeds such as Pugs, French Bulldogs and Dachshunds wear a harness instead of a collar. It’s important to find a lead that’s compatible with your harness. Ziippup’s leads are compatible with most harness styles, ensuring a secure and comfortable fit.
