Product Information

Full details

The Digby & Fox Dog Slip Lead is an ideal choice for pet owners seeking a balance between gentle control and durable design.

FAQs

Is this lead machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash the lead using mild soap and warm water to protect the integrity of the rope and metal fittings.

Does this lead come in different lengths?

This specific model features a standard length of 170cm.

Can I leave this on the dog while they are playing off-leash?

No, a slip lead should always be removed when the dog is not actively under your control to prevent the loop from snagging on external objects.

Is the material waterproof?

While the rope is durable and suitable for outdoor use, it is not fully waterproof and should be dried if saturated by rain.

Is this lead suitable for puppies?

It can be used for puppies, provided they are supervised and have been trained to walk without aggressive pulling.

What is the width of the lead?

The lead is 10mm wide, providing a comfortable and secure grip.

Troubleshooting

The slip loop keeps loosening during the walk

Adjust the sliding metal keeper so it sits closer to the neck, ensuring the lead remains taut while the dog is walking beside you.

The lead feels stiff after washing

Once dry, gently flex and massage the rope fibers with your hands to restore the original softness.

Pros and Cons

  • Highly durable construction for long-term use
  • Balanced 170cm length provides ideal control

Cons

  • Requires constant tension for slip mechanism

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the lead, simply slide the loop over your dog's head and adjust the sliding metal stop to fit securely around the neck, ensuring it is not too tight. Compatibility is broad, though it is specifically recommended for dogs that have learned basic leash manners. For care, spot clean the rope with warm water and mild soap when necessary. Hang the lead to air dry completely after walks in rainy conditions to prevent moisture buildup within the fibers. Periodically check the metal fittings for any signs of debris or wear to ensure the sliding mechanism continues to operate smoothly.
