How to Care for Your Dog's Lead and Collar

Your dog’s lead and collar are everyday essentials that endure a lot of wear and tear. Proper maintenance ensures they last longer, look better, and remain safe for use. In this blog, we’ll share practical tips to help you care for these vital accessories.

1. Regular Cleaning
Dirt and grime can weaken materials over time. Clean your dog’s lead and collar regularly to maintain their appearance and functionality.

Leather: Wipe with a damp cloth and condition with leather cleaner.

Nylon: Wash in warm, soapy water and air dry.

Metal Hardware: Check for rust and clean with a metal-safe solution if needed.

2. Inspect for Damage
Regularly inspect your dog’s accessories for signs of wear, such as fraying, cracking, or loose stitching. Replace damaged items promptly to avoid safety risks.

3. Store Properly
When not in use, store leads and collars in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Proper storage prevents fading and material degradation.

4. Rotate Accessories
