Important note about slip lead usage: slip leads are used commonly by show dog and gun dog handlers as well as in kennels and dog groomers and, with correct and safe use, they are ideal for most dogs. The slip lead is not appropriate for all breeds however and we recommend you understand correct and safe handling of a slip lead before using.

The rope slip lead measures approx 155cm including the handle. You will need to account for how much length remaining after you have looped some of the length over your dog's head.

If you require a bespoke length, please email us on hello@dogsandhorses.co.uk

The rope can be washed with mild soapy water and thorough rinsing. Allow to air-dry (not on a radiator).

For the leather elements: a cleaning with dubbin or saddle soap, then buffed up with a leather restorative like Neat's Foot Oil or a beeswax product (e.g. Renapur or Leather Genie) will help restore the leather to its natural lustre and protect it against the elements.


Do not allow the leather to come into contact with the chemicals from commercially-available flea spot-on treatments. This will damage the leather and may cause the dye to run.
