FAQs
Is this lead suitable for puppies?
Yes, its lightweight design and durable construction make it appropriate for puppies as they learn to walk on a lead.
Can I use this for a large dog?
No, this specific 12mm model is designed for small to medium breeds. Please use the 18mm version for large or extra-large breeds.
Is the lead chew-proof?
While the braided webbing is durable, it is not chew-proof. If your dog is a heavy chewer, supervise them closely to protect the lead.
What should I do if the lead gets wet?
Simply hang it up to air dry. Avoid using tumble dryers or high heat as this can degrade the fibers.
Does it come with a swivel hook?
Yes, it features a reliable metal swivel snap hook to help prevent the lead from tangling while walking.
Troubleshooting
Clasp feels stiff or difficult to open
Apply a tiny amount of silicone-based lubricant to the spring mechanism and cycle it open and closed several times to distribute the grease.
The webbing has picked up dirt or mud
Submerge the lead in a bowl of warm water with mild detergent, agitate gently, rinse thoroughly, and hang to air dry in a well-ventilated area.
Fraying observed on the webbing
Carefully trim stray fibers with sharp scissors and briefly pass a lighter flame over the spot to cauterize the end and prevent further fraying.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To begin using your Trixie Cavo Dog Lead, simply attach the swivel snap hook to your dog's standard collar or harness D-ring. Always ensure you hear an audible click or verify that the spring-loaded gate is fully closed to prevent accidental detachment. For compatibility, this lead is specifically rated for small and medium breeds; for larger breeds, consider the 18mm variant of the Cavo line. To maintain the lead, hand wash with mild soap and warm water if it becomes soiled, then allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the braided webbing. Regularly inspect the stitching and the metal clasp for any signs of wear to ensure continued safety.
