25 ft. Retractable Dog Leash

Reviewing: Safe Pets 25 Ft.
Purchased at: Dollar General     Price: $3.00 USD

The 25 ft. retractable dog leash made by SafePets is the best $3.00 that I've ever spent.

I found it at Dollar General, and have been using it for several months now.The ridiculously low price is misleading - this is a very well made product. The "handle" holds 25 feet of sturdy line inside of it, which can be adjusted to any length desired, then locked in place.

I use it at the full 25 ft. length to tie my dog outside by hooking the handle onto the porch railing. Then, when I walk him, I shorten it to a comfortable length, and off we go.

I was skeptical at first as to how long this would last, because of the cheap price, but it has turned out to be one of those gems you discover once in a while. The handle, line, and clasp are all high quality, and the retraction feature has always worked flawlessly. I love the adjustability for all situations - longer for walks where there is more room for your dog to roam, or shorter to keep him closer to you when in a more public setting. Highly recommended!

I see people with these leashes all the time. They seem more practical than your run-of-the-mill leash. Are they good for a dog that pulls? That would be my problem. With an 80 lb dog at the end of a leash it can be challenging!

I think that the "handle" on this gives you more control over your dog than the traditional leash, which can be pulled out of your hand, or with an 80 lb. dog pulling, it might even cut into your hand! This is much more comfortable to hold onto!

Wow - I knew $3 was cheap for this, but I didn't know they went for $19! I guess I got an even better deal than I thought! And, it's not like this one is of inferior quality. It's pretty substantial, and very well made. It wouldn't surprise me if it's the same exact one that you have, and WalMart just put a different label on it! Remember, I did get it at Dollar General, so maybe they bought a closeout or discontinued lot or something like that? I think that I should pick up another one while they still have them!
