found my animal: beautifully made dog leashes

Leashes: Found My Animal Ombre Cotton Rope Dog Leash; Tan Cotton Rope Dog Leash (mine are both large). For more colors, visit here.

Now, I know this may seem a bit off topic for this blog, but my original claim was to share with you my opinion on ALL products Instagram haunts me with. Also, this is a lifestyle blog, and because I have puppies, leashes are a part of my lifestyle.

Speaking of lifestyle and along the lines of a lifestyle blog, generally when I see that my family is in the market for a new product, I view that as an opportunity to further curate our surroundings to reflect who we are or at least who we want to be. This may seem like I overthink something as simple as a dog leash, and maybe I do. However, if something comes into our home, I much prefer that it visually reflects my and my husband’s taste than not. Each purchase is a means by which I curate the space around me so that I feel inspired by my surroundings (you can quote that – lol!). I told you I’m a visual person!

With that being said, let’s move on to Found My Animal. I found these leashes roughly a year ago after searching what felt like all the possibilities available. Found My Animal is a Brooklyn based company that recycles marine-grade rope and uses brass lockable carabiners at the ends. This point specifically checked one very important box for me since I have two rather strong pups. I needed a leash that could withstand quite a bit of pull if (GOD forbid) a squirrel caught the pups’ eyes. Because of the type of rope and the way the rope is “spliced and whipped”, it can hold up to the pups and their “curiosities.”

There are so many possibilities when it comes to the length of the leash too. You can make it short, keep it super long, wrap it around your waist for a no-hands walk, or even create a hand-strap.

I’ll be honest I bought this leash mostly because of how the leashes look though! Each leash is beautifully dyed with rich, vibrant colors and even some with an ombre look. The brass fixtures only enhance the visual appeal as well. Overall, these leashes are well-made and BEAUTIFUL! Highly recommend!

P.S. They are even washable! AND a portion of all sales goes to support animal welfare and rescue organizations! You see, they really pulled at all my rescue pet heartstrings!

XOXO
