Dog gear doesn’t last forever. Even the best collars, harnesses, and leads need replacing over time. Here's how to tell when it’s time to upgrade your dog’s walking kit.
1. Fraying or Damaged Materials
If you see fraying, rusted clips, or torn padding, it’s time to retire the gear. Worn-out materials can fail when you need them most.
2. Poor Fit
Is the harness slipping? Is the collar too tight or loose? Your dog’s comfort and control depend on a proper fit. If your current gear no longer fits well, it’s time to adjust, or replace.
3. Pulling Is Getting Worse
If your dog is pulling more than usual, your current harness might not be doing its job. Look for a no-pull design with front and back clip options for better guidance.
4. Lack of Control
A good leash should give you confidence, not stress. If you're struggling to keep control during walks, consider one with dual handles, a seatbelt clip, or shock absorption.
5. It Just Looks Tired
Let’s face it, dirty, saggy, worn-out gear doesn’t reflect the care you give your dog. Upgrading to a fresh, durable set can make a world of difference.
