Full details

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setting up the Actiaspet lead is straightforward; simply attach the metal clip to your dog's harness or collar D-ring. Before your first walk, test the lock mechanism to ensure the tension is appropriate for your dog's size. To maintain the longevity of the leash, avoid allowing the tape to get soaked in mud or water, as this can affect the retraction speed. If the lead does get wet, extend it fully and let it air dry completely indoors before retracting it. Periodically inspect the tape for any signs of fraying or wear to ensure it continues to hold your pet securely.
