Cat rope and dog rope in the design, material and use of some differences, the following is the specific introduction:
- Design feature
- Cat leash
- They are usually light and slender, because cats are relatively small and do not need to withstand as much tension.
- The length of the cat leash is generally short, common in about 1 to 1.5 meters, which is to better control the cat, to prevent it from running too far out of the owner's sight or into the dangerous area when going out.
- A leash is usually used with a chest harness, which is designed to better fit the cat's body structure, spread the tension and avoid causing damage to the cat's neck, which is relatively fragile. Breast braces are usually soft and do not restrict your cat's normal breathing and movement.
- Dog leash
- It is relatively stronger and stronger to accommodate the larger body size of the dog and the greater tension that may be generated. Especially for large dogs, the leash needs to be strong enough to guarantee the owner's control of the dog.
- The length of the dog rope is more diverse, and the common ones are 1.5 meters, 2 meters, 3 meters or even longer. When walking small dogs, you may choose a shorter rope for easy control; When walking a large dog or a dog in an open space, a longer rope can give the dog more room to move.
- The leash can be used with either a collar or a chest harness. For some dogs with good obedience and small size, it is more common to use a collar with a dog leash; For large dogs or more lively, strong dogs, the chest harness can better disperse the tension, prevent the dog from breaking free, but also reduce the pressure on the dog's neck.
- Material selection
- Cat leash
- The material is usually soft and lightweight nylon and cotton, which are less irritating to the cat's skin and will not make the cat feel uncomfortable.
- The surface of the leash is generally smooth to avoid scratching your cat's hair and skin.
- Dog leash
- In addition to nylon, cotton and other materials, some dog ropes will be made of leather, especially in high-end products, leather dog ropes have good texture and strong durability.
- In order to increase the durability and tensile strength of the dog leash, some dog ropes will add steel wire or fiber reinforcement material inside to ensure that the dog will not easily break when the dog suddenly pulls hard.
- Mode of use
- Cat leash
- Due to the relatively independent and sensitive nature of cats, more patience and guidance are needed when using a cat leash to take your cat outside. Generally, it is to let the cat slowly adapt to the cat rope and the external environment, and can not be dragged by force.
- Cats are sensitive to changes in the surrounding environment, so when using a cat leash, pay attention to avoid letting the cat come into contact with things that are too noisy, dangerous or fearful, and try to choose a quiet and safe environment.
- Dog leash
- Dogs are usually lively and active, like to run and explore, the use of dog ropes need to adjust the intensity and direction according to the dog's behavior and emotions, and control the dog's range of action.
- The owner can carry out some basic training for the dog through the dog leash, such as accompanying, stopping and other instructions, and cultivate the dog's good behavior habits during the walking of the dog.
