Thickness of slip lead?

Post by duke »

I'm looking for a new slip lead for Meg, what diameter do you guys use? 6mm or 8mm?
Cheers guys
Much appreciated!

I use 6mm for no other reason other than it folds up smaller for my pocket

Thanks for the info, I was looking at a 6mm but I was concerned it was too thin for Meg , only one way to see I guess!

I'm sure she wouldn't notice the difference. Dog shouldn't be putting any pressure on the lead so thickness isn't important.

More useful for the thin one to pack away small.

I use the cheap John Norris ones. It my girlfriend says they are too chunky, doesnt stop her nicking them though.

I really like the thicker leads, if my Setter suddenly lunges at something (usually something edible!) it doesn't dig into her neck like the thinner one I have.

This is the one I bought:

Hope it helps :-D
