Leather dog leashes are a great tool to extend your dog’s freedom while ensuring they can never stray too far from you.
With many different types of leashes on the market, most dog owners we know pick leather leashes because of one of the following reasons:
- Leather is a natural material, and a by-product from the meat industry
- Leather is a durable, long-lasting material if you take care of it well
- Leather looks great
That said, not all leather dog leads are created equal.
For example, when looking at the leather itself, you can differentiate between vegetable tanned leather and chrome tanned leather.
Vegetable tanning is the more natural procedure, and less damaging to the environment and the leather worker.
Then, it’s also important that the hardware that’s attached to the leash is of good quality, durable, and easy to use for you.
