Dog leashes are made out of various materials. Up to this point, we have discussed a few of these possibilities. We have even explained to you when you should choose one material over the other. However, there is still more information that you should know before choosing what type of dog leash you wish to buy. We have elaborated on each type of material in the following table:
Nylon leashes: Nylon dog leashes are one of the best options. They are easy to use and very comfortable. However, at the same time, they are strong and resistant. This type of leash often comes in many different colors, so you will be able to pick one that best suits you and your pet. They are extremely easy to wash. The only downside to a nylon dog leash is that the grip can be a bit slippery.
Leather leashes: Leather dog leashes are also very strong and resistant but also very elegant looking. However, they are not the most ethical option, as this type of leash is usually made out of another animal. Keep in mind that there are synthetic leather dog leashes on the market. They are easy to use and clean.
Metal leashes or chains: This type of leash is especially useful when you have a puppy that is still teething. Unlike with other materials, your pup will not be able to bite through metal. Trust us, you don't want to have to buy leash after leash as your puppy gnaws its way through each one. Save yourself time and money and get a metal leash or chain for your little furry friend.
