Mark & Graham Chelsea Leash

Mark & Graham is fast becoming one of our favorite brands when it comes to chic, reasonably priced dog accessories. We got an email earlier this week introducing their Chelsea Leash, which comes in two sizes (small and large), and a variety of colors. Each leash can be monogrammed/personalized, and we are particularly partial to the like the idea of doing a hashtag… maybe #barkistas?

Crafted from woven jacquard webbing, these leashes also feature a detachable key-ring, which is SO SMART. While I'm sure other folks out there have figured away to tackle the house keys while walking thing… for us #thestruggleisreal. In an ideal world we'd buy this leash, get a second set of keys made, and never worry again about juggling keys or accidentally locking ourselves out when walking Paddy.

Obviously we are partial to the pink and green.

Available for purchase from Mark & Graham ($36 - small, $38 - large).

Hot Dog Leash

Crafted from plastic sausage links and high quality nylon rope, this 42" long leash is a must for any "hot dog."
Harty har har. 

Anyway, bad jokes aside (I mean come on, how could we resist?), pick yours up from Fred Flare ($20). 

Have You Found Your Animal?

Help the Brooklyn-based Found My Animal and the awesome Louis Animal Foundation do good things for animals in need by purchasing one of these beautifully crafted FOUND leashes. Amazingly, 25% of ALL profits go directly to the foundation which operates a mobile spay/neuter clinic in rural areas and finds foster homes for animals who have not yet 'found' their people.

In addition to the traditional rope, you can now choose from white or black PET.

Crafted from rope or recycled PET (yay recycling!) are animal-friendly (no leather!), and hand-spliced so they can withstand lots of tugging. All hardware is solid brass made from marine grade Italian hardware and can be adjusted in a variety of ways depending on your leash-style preference. This versatile leash can be used as a simple hand-held leash or clipped around your waist/over your shoulder for hands-free walking (we love rocking the over the shoulder style, but hope to be bold enough to do the waist thing one day!). 

Each leash also features an individually-numbered brass tag that makes this leash super unique and symbolizes the number of animals you've helped the Louis Foundation take care of. 

Depending on length and size, prices range from $32 to $68. All leashes are available directly from Found My Animal's online store. Make sure to also check out Found's awesome harnesses and collars.
