 LeashLocket retractable leashDog Leash

The LeashLocket is a retractable leash for dogs that the pet carries when he doesn’t need to be restrained.

When attached to the dog’s collar, the LeashLocket works like a standard retractable leash with a 6-foot lead.  The difference is when the pet is allowed to run free. Instead of you carrying the leash, the dog does the work, thanks to the special rivet attachment placed on the dog’s collar. Connect the leash case’s magnetic back to the rivet, lock the brake button, and the LeashLocket will remain in place. The LeashLocket is available in small/medium (for dogs under 55 pounds; weighs less than 3 ounces) and large (for dogs up to 90 pounds; weighs less than 4 ounces) in black, blue, pink, and red colors.

The LeashLocket has suggested retail prices of $23.99 for the small/medium leash and $24.99 for the large leash.

  • "We were stranded along a narrow road near Bryce Canyon, Utah. The location was not a good place for cellular service, but I was able to contact Roadside Rescue and arrange for a tow after driving our towed vehicle to the town of Bryce. I had to speak with several people at Roadside Rescue, but each person I spoke with was respectful and courteous. The tow was set up and our rig taken to a place that promptly took care of the repair and we were back on the road in 24 hours."⁠ ⁠ Michael & Lynn Noonan (F448134)⁠ ⁠

  • "Winter! Some love it, some hate it. Winter is a time when there is a stillness in the air but there is also a dryness which can lead to issues with our immune system. Couple that with shorter days, lack of sunlight (which can lead to low energy levels), layers of clothing to keep our skin from absorbing the nutrients of Vitamin D from the sun (crucial for maintaining a strong immune system), and lack of proper hydration due to not feeling thirsty (caused by to cooler temps and less perspiration); ALL of this can lead to our immune systems
