The material of a dog leash has a big influence on how it feels, how much moisture it absorbs and how easy it is to clean. That means one type of leash may suit your everyday walks better than another.
What do we mean by a waterproof dog leash?
Waterproof leashes often use a coated material that absorbs little moisture and is easy to wipe clean. Exact properties vary by product, so always check the product specifications.
How is a fabric dog leash different?
Textile can feel soft and familiar and comes in different weaves. Depending on the material, a fabric leash may absorb more moisture and dirt than a smooth coated leash.
What is practical in rain and mud?
If you often walk through wet grass, rain, sand or mud, an easy to clean surface can save a lot of hassle once you get home.
Which dog leash suits you?
Do not look at material alone. Length, clasp, grip and the way you use the leash are just as important. The best choice is the one that suits the walks you actually take together.
Is waterproof always better?
No. Waterproof is mainly practical when you value low moisture absorption and easy cleaning. If you prefer the feel of textile and mostly walk in dry conditions, fabric can suit you perfectly well.
