FAQs
What makes this leash "ECO"?
The "ECO" designation signifies that the leash is constructed from 100% recycled polyester, making it a more sustainable choice.
How effective is the reflective material at night?
The integrated 3M reflective thread is designed to significantly enhance visibility when illuminated by light sources such as headlights, making your dog much more visible to others in low-light conditions.
What is the purpose of the second handle?
The second handle, located closer to the dog, provides an option for extra control in situations requiring immediate proximity, such as crossing busy streets, navigating crowded areas, or managing sudden distractions.
Is the neoprene grip waterproof?
Yes, the neoprene grip is waterproof, which helps in maintaining comfort and durability, even in wet conditions.
What is the length of the leash?
This specific model, the Hurtta Casual Reflective Leash - Peacock, is 120cm long.
Can this leash be used for large, strong dogs?
The leash is made of durable 100% recycled polyester and has been tensile-strength tested for reliability, indicating it is suitable for most dogs. However, supervision is always recommended.
How should I clean the leash?
Hand wash the leash with mild soap and cold water, then allow it to air dry completely. Avoid machine washing or using harsh chemicals.
Troubleshooting
Leash clasp not securing properly
Ensure the clasp is fully closed around the D-ring of the collar/harness. Check the clasp mechanism for any debris or damage that might be preventing a secure lock.
Reduced reflective visibility
Clean the leash, particularly the areas with reflective thread, with a damp cloth. Ensure the reflective thread is not covered by dirt or mud. Remember, reflective material requires an external light source to be visible.
Padded grip feels stiff
The neoprene grip may become softer with use. If it feels stiff initially, try working it gently with your hands. Avoid exposing it to excessive heat.
