Keep A Spare Leash In The Car


Bronze Post Medal for All Time! 205 Posts

I have 2 dogs and 1 cat. I don't keep collars on any of them at home. Of course anytime we leave to go somewhere, be it locally or on a trip, they must have them. At those times they all have their collars on, from the time we leave home until the time we return.

I keep 2 sets for each of them. Each one (collar and leash) has the pet's name on it. I use craft paint because it never wears off. I keep one set in the house in my coat closet in a small bin up on the shelf. The other set goes in the car.

My car has little cubbyholes in the back (small station wagon type car), and I put them in there. In past cars, I kept them in the pocket that's behind the driver's seat. The set in the car is the one that has their rabies tags on them. This way, if I'm ever in a hurry and forget something, it won't be their collars and leashes!

In these same cubbyholes, I also keep collapsible water bags, food dishes, and one small toy for each pet.

Although it's not kept in the car, the cat always travels, whether locally or long distance, in a cat carrier.

Hi,
I am a retired Veterinary Practice Manager. I have been keeping extra leashes in my glove box for many years. I have come across quite a few dogs that are on the street wandering around. I have been able to reunite many dogs with their owners with my leash from the car and also because the dogs had a collar on with name/address. Which I think is very important if your dogs have a tendency to "escape" once in awhile.
