Vibrant Life 13' Reflective Retractable Tape Leash, Black, XS-S

I received this Retractable Tape Leash from the Spark Reviewer program to try in my home and write an honest review. The leash is very lightweight and comfortable in my hand. The wrist strap is beneficial for keeping a good hold on the leash. It's compact (x-small size) and fits easily in my pocket or purse. The retractable leash works very will without jerking or snapping back into the handle. The reflective properties are a great idea for safety during nightly potty runs. There is plenty of leash to allow for room to roam but still have the security to bring the dog back from danger. PROS: Compact, Plenty of leash, Smooth recoil action, Lightweight. CONS: I didn't see anything wrong with this product.

Got a size larger than recommended, because our toy poodle keeps breaking the leads for small dogs. He's broken 4 in the last year, so I figured to get one for a larger dog to at least slow him down. Buddy,(that's his name), hates this one, but for only one reason. When he runs to chase squirrels, this one stops him on a dime with no trouble. It extracts out 16 feet, so that's not really a problem. The ribbon seems heavy enough to take the pounding it gets from the dog, but it's not so heavy he has to drag it along. Only time will tell how long this will last, but my first impression is that it's going to last him awhile. This is one lead that seems to be worth the cost, and that's a good thing in my opinion.
