Review on Premium Upgraded Hyhug Pets Adjustable Leash For Medium To Giant Dogs - Durable Nylon And Soft Neoprene Handle, Extendable Between 4-6 Feet, Classic Blue (Small) by Lance Jenkins

When it arrived, I was happy with it, but I know now that it's not going to last nearly as long as previous leashes. I really like the adjustable feature. That's why we purchased one of these for each of our dogs, even though they currently have leashes that are over 20 years old (inherited from our previous dogs) that still look brand new. My dogs do not chew on their leashes. The leashes have their own storage spot, where nothing rubs against them. Yet, this brand of leash is getting 'fuzzy'. I don't know how else to explain it. It's not quite a 'fraying', but they are definitely breaking down in some way. They have not been laundered or anything that would have caused this type of thing. One of my dogs is a 70 lb. lab, another is a 45 lb. mix, and the smallest is a 17 lb. Pomeranian/Chihuahua mixed. They have been walked an average of 4 times a week for about 7 months with these leashes (each with the size of leash that was appropriate for their size), and the leashes look old and worn.They are not a bad leash, while they last, but I won't be buying this brand again. I like things for my dogs that are long lasting and durable. I worry about the durability of a leash that is evidently not made of high quality materials. While our dogs do not pull while walking, we do have 2 squirrel chasers (out of the 3 dogs) that give that little test jerk when they spot one of those critters. We don't want to take the risk of our dogs getting hit by a car or even just tromping through people's yards, gardens, etc. during a merry dash after a squirrel. We need dependable leashes, and I'm not satisfied that we're going to be able to rely on these for much longer.I love the adjustability. We walk our dogs on a 6' leash around town. Some places that allow dogs (the renaissance faire that we go to each fall) requires 4' or shorter, though. So, it's been nice to have the adaptability. It's not worth it, though, if I can't be confident in the strength of the leashes. In my searches, I couldn't find very many adjustable leashes that had good reviews. I might just have to tie knots in their old but durable leashes or find some other way of making them shorter when needed. Safety before convenience, I guess.
