Rolled Soft Leather Slip Lead

The rolled soft leather slip lead measures approximately 155cm (61 inches) in total length.

As a slip lead, part of the length forms the loop around your dog’s neck (or muzzle if used as a figure-8), so the usable lead length will vary slightly depending on how it is fitted.

These leads are available in two thickness options:

Standard (approx. 10mm)
A thicker, more substantial lead, well suited to medium to larger dogs such as Labradors and Spaniels.

Finer
A lighter, slimmer option designed for smaller dogs or for those who prefer a less bulky lead, particularly when used as a figure-8 over the muzzle.

Slip leads should be used correctly and responsibly; if unsure, we recommend seeking guidance from a qualified dog trainer.

Crafted from soft European leather, selected for its durability, comfort and natural strength. The leather is designed to be hard-wearing and weather-resistant, while remaining supple in the hand.

Internal polyester cord is load-bearing into the hundreds of kilograms

The leather is colour-fast, meaning it will not transfer dye onto your dog’s coat under normal use.*

Each lead is finished with solid load-bearing hardware, available in either solid brass or silver-tone fittings depending on the colour chosen.

Hardware Finish

• Colours including Red, Pink, Lilac, Orange Blue, Aqua, Yellow, Grey and Bright Green are supplied with silver fittings

• Colours including Brown, Merlot, Racing Green,Cream, Navy, Clover, Tan and Electric Blue are supplied with brass fittings

• Black is available with either brass or silver fittings. Please add a note with your preference at checkout.

All fittings are designed to provide reliable strength and security, ensuring your dog remains safely attached at all times.

*Avoid contact with chemicals from liquid flea treatments, as these may affect the leather.

All Dogs & Horses leather products are crafted from high quality European leather, chosen for its durability, comfort and natural beauty. With the right care, leather will soften, develop character and last for many years.

Cleaning

To maintain the leather’s natural finish, clean occasionally using a leather cleaner, saddle soap, or dubbin. Apply with a soft cloth or sponge and gently remove any dirt or residue.

For light cleaning, a damp cloth with a mild, non-abrasive cleaner can also be used. Always test cleaning products on a small, inconspicuous area first to ensure the colour remains stable.

Conditioning

After cleaning, apply a leather conditioner or restorative such as Neat’s Foot Oil or a beeswax-based product (for example Renapur or Leather Genie).

Conditioning helps restore the leather’s natural lustre, keeps it supple, and protects it from drying out or cracking.

Water & Drying

Leather can tolerate occasional exposure to water, but it should not remain wet for extended periods.

If your item becomes wet, allow it to air dry naturally at room temperature. Do not place leather items on radiators or near direct heat sources, as this can cause the leather to stiffen or crack.

Once dry, applying a leather conditioner will help restore flexibility and protect the surface.

Metal Hardware

Brass hardware may naturally develop a darker patina over time, sometimes referred to as “living brass”. Many owners appreciate this as part of the character of real brass.

If preferred, brass or metal fittings can be polished with a metal cleaner such as Brasso. Take care to keep cleaning products away from your dog or horse and avoid inhalation of fumes.

Regular Inspection

We recommend regular hands-on inspection of all leather items to check for wear and tear, particularly around stitching, buckles and clips. Routine care helps ensure the continued comfort and safety of your animal.

Important

Avoid allowing leather to come into contact with chemical products, including spot-on flea treatments, as these may damage the leather or cause colour transfer. This applies to all leather surfaces.
