Does the manufacturer keep its advertising promises?
ℹ️ Our practical test has the highest relevance and therefore weighting. Here, the product has to undergo a wide range of criteria and tests. We check the functions and product promises of the test article.

*The maximum score is 100 points
Our practical test of the PetTec dog lead has shown that the manufacturer largely lives up to and even exceeds its advertising promises.
The versatility of the lead is impressive, as it is suitable for most dog breeds and has a tensile strength of up to 80 kg. The pulling force does not indicate the weight of the dog, but the pull exerted on the lead.
Equipped with two high-quality snap hooks and an eyelet , the 5 meter long drag line can be used to form a large loop. This loop is large enough to carry the leash safely over the shoulder, which is particularly practical for keeping your hands free.
Particular attention has been paid to safety aspects , which are important for both the dog and the handler. The leash is made of three robust Trioflex material layers and has two snap hooks with a 90° lever and a 360° swivel made of stainless steel. This design ensures a secure attachment and prevents the leash from twisting or tangling. However, we would like to point out that the noise made when the eyelet is pulled over the ground can initially irritate anxious dogs.
The lead is available in three different colors and three different lengths .
The weather resistance of the lead is also impressive across the board. It is water and dirt repellent, which makes it safe to use even when the lead is wet. Cleaning is extremely easy by simply w iping with a cloth.
Another advantage is the high level of comfort of the lead, as it is soft and comfortable to hold and does not chafe. Even if the width of the lead may seem a little oversized for smaller dogs, this is compensated for by the pleasant feel in the hand.
Overall, our practical test has shown that the PetTec dog lead delivers what it promises and is a reliable choice for dog owners.
