Regular readers of my blog will know the firm part our pets take in our lives.
Thanks to Seren’s Christmas wish we now boast a dog and three cats.
Our dog is Miller, a cocker spaniel, a couple of years older than Seren.
And, like most dogs, he loves, and gets giddy over the idea of a walk.
Like most things in our lives, we’re loyal, we love the collar and lead we have.
We had harnesses when Miller was a puppy and have stuck with the same kind of stretchy lead ever since.
The opportunity to review Doddle for Dogs was intriguing.
Partly because Mr J and .
Hmmmmm.
On arrival I was impressed but wary.
It appeared less hardwearing than Miller’s leads and collars to date.
I was wary about how Miller would accept it, would it be heavier, given the inbuilt lead?
Of course, he loved it.
Any chance to get out of the house, of course.
And, in reality, the lead is lightweight, the pod weights 39 grams.
Doddle for Dogs lead for cocker spaniels
And the pro’s quickly became apparent.
We live next to a nature reserve, so Miller is on a lead for the 10 yards from our home to the pedestrian pathway.
We like to have him on the lead when we’re passing children or other dogs.
And apart from that the lead is worn around Mr J’s neck, or when it’s me, I carry it.
Acceptable but not convenient.
In terms of improvements, whilst Miller is microchipped, there isn’t the facility for the collar to hold our phone number, which would be really convenient given it would just get him back to us a little quicker.
I do like the substantive handle we have on our current lead when bringing Miller close, however this really is outweighed by the amount of time he spends off the lead, and .
As you’ll see from our video, the lead is so convenient to extend when needed.
The consideration of carrying a lead disappears.
The ease of getting Miller onto a lead when needed is simple.
And so, it is now the “outfit” of choice.
To just clip on a collar now seems to much more straightforward.
