About Us

Prüfengel offers authentic consumer tests in which real users share their experiences with products. Our tests are based on practical applications in everyday life and reflect the opinions of consumers. As we focus on consumer tests, we do not carry out any material, long-term or laboratory tests. The tests are carried out by 1-2 independent consumers over a period of 7-14 days. The exact test conditions can be viewed in the test plan of the respective test report – click here to go directly to the test plan.

Manufacturers provide the tested products free of charge. We charge a one-off test fee for carrying out the tests. In addition, manufacturers pay an annual licence fee for the use of the Prüfengel seal. We also receive a commission for linking to manufacturers’ websites. These remunerations have no influence on our test results or ratings.

We guarantee transparency and a fair evaluation. For a detailed insight into our comprehensive evaluation process, please click here.

The first impression

Packaging and contents

ℹ️ Here we take a closer look at packaging. Sustainability is becoming an increasingly important factor. In addition, adequate protection of the product must of course also be guaranteed. Are the contents of the packaging complete and does the manufacturer make it as easy as possible for me to use the product straight away?

The paracord dog lead from Golden Pets has an attractive and modern design. The workmanship is first-class and the lead is extremely stable when pulled. Unfortunately, there is no specific information on sustainability, but the use of high-quality materials suggests that the product can be used over a long period of time.

This is what our practical test showed

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

To summarize , we can say that the manufacturer keeps its promises with its advertising for the paracord dog leash. The product ensures stability, versatility and adaptability for different dog breeds and training scenarios as well as a high level of comfort during the walk. The leash is reflective and protects against being overlooked at dusk and in the dark. This dog leash is of high quality overall and should fully meet the expectations of users.

Price/performance ratio

and ratings from consumers

ℹ️ Finally, we examine how the product compares to the competition. Can it keep up with the competition in terms of price and quality? Would we generally recommend buying it? We also look at the consumer reviews and check whether the critical and positive reviews are actually justified.

CriterionRemarkScore achieved*
Price / performance ratioGood performance in the upper price segment60 points
Rating cut4.4 out of 5.0 on Amazon70 points
Total65 points
Weighting: 15%
*The maximum score is 100 points

On the Amazon platform, consumers rate the product with an average of 4.4 stars. One common criticism is that the leads no longer get clean when heavily soiled. Many customers like the fact that the lead sits very comfortably in the hand. In our practical test, we were able to confirm that the lead is comfortable to hold and that the cleaning effect was not so good.

Prices of up to €20 are charged on the Internet for equivalent products. Very inexpensive products are available from as little as €9 . The paracord dog lead from Golden Pets is therefore currently in the upper price segment with a price of €19.99. For the quality and performance received, the price-performance ratio is reasonable.
