Product Information
Full details
The Ancol Reflective Rope Slip Lead is an ideal solution for dog owners who need a versatile, lightweight, and weather-proof leash for daily walking, running, or water-based activities. Its durable poly-weave construction provides long-lasting reliability, while integrated reflective threading ensures high visibility during low-light conditions; however, users should note that the slip design requires consistent tension to maintain control, making it less suitable for dogs that are prone to extreme pulling.

FAQs
Is this lead suitable for puppies?
Yes, it is lightweight and gentle, though ensure the size is appropriate for your puppy's neck to prevent them from slipping out.
Can I use this lead for swimming?
Absolutely, the poly-weave webbing is weather-proof and designed for water activities.
How do I choose between 1.0cm and 1.2cm thicknesses?
The 1.0cm is typically better for smaller or medium dogs, while the 1.2cm provides extra grip and strength for larger, stronger breeds.
Is the reflective threading effective during the day?
The reflective threading is designed primarily to reflect artificial light in low-visibility conditions; it will be less noticeable in bright daylight.
Can the lead be machine washed?
Hand washing is recommended to prolong the life of the material and maintain the hardware.
Troubleshooting
The slip lead becomes too tight or loose
Adjust the metal keeper along the rope to define the maximum loop size and ensure a secure fit that does not choke the animal.
The reflective material appears dirty or dull
Hand wash the lead in warm, soapy water and scrub gently to remove debris from the fibers, which will restore its reflective brilliance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup is straightforward: simply slide the lead over the dog's head and adjust the keeper to ensure a snug, comfortable fit that prevents the loop from opening too wide. It is compatible with all breeds, provided the diameter (1.0cm or 1.2cm) is selected based on the weight and size of your dog. To care for your lead, rinse it with fresh water after trips to the beach or muddy excursions. Allow it to air dry away from direct heat sources to preserve the structural integrity of the fibers.
