Why should you leash your pet outdoors? How to properly purchase a pet leash?
Leash is a measure to protect the safety of pets. Without a leash, pets may run around and bite out of curiosity, excitement, fear, and other emotions, leading to dangers such as getting lost, being hit by a car, poisoned, stolen, beaten, and so on.234 A leash allows the owner to control the pet’s behavior in a timely manner to avoid accidents.
Leashes are a courtesy of respect for others. Not everyone likes or is afraid of pets, especially large or ferocious animals. Without a leash, pets may rush toward strangers or other animals, causing fright or injury.234 A leash allows those around you to feel safe and comfortable, reducing unnecessary disputes and conflicts.
When choosing a pet leash, you need to consider the following:
Your pet’s size and personality, such as size, weight, activity level, and propensity to explode. Different pets have different requirements for leash strength, length, width, material and style. For example, for large or explosive pets, you may need to choose a metal or leather leash for added control and durability.
The scenario and habit of walking your pet, such as crowded or less crowded, day or night, running or walking. Different scenarios and habits require different leash features and safety requirements. For example, for crowded areas, you may want to choose a fixed length or adjustable length leash to avoid tripping over others or letting your pet get lost; at night, you may want to choose a reflective or lighted leash to increase your pet’s visibility and safety.
Your budget and preferences, i.e. how much you are willing to spend on a leash and what colors, patterns, styles, etc. you prefer. The price and appearance of different leashes can vary greatly. For example, leather or metal leashes are usually more expensive than nylon or TPU leashes, but they also have more texture and class; nylon or TPU leashes are usually available in a wider range of colors and patterns, but they are also more prone to getting dirty or broken.
