Over the years of Whippet ownership, one best selling British style slip lead (both collar and leash in one!) has stood the test of time and that is Mendota. If you’re not familiar with the brand, Mendota has been around since 1994 and is known for their high quality dog gear line. Why do we love Mendota slip leads for our Whippets?
- Leash and collar in one and adjustable to any neck size
- Used by professional trainers and handlers for many years this product has now been adapted for walking and training
- Soft on the hands with its “Broken in Feel” easy to use and pliable enough to fit in your coat pocket
- Brass, satin nickel or black metallic hardware and oil tanned leather splices
- Made of waterproof, vibrant, long-lasting multi-filament polypropylene rope.
- Machine washable, air dry only.
- Handmade in the U.S.A.
Mendota slip leads are incredibly sturdy and built to last.
I have some Mendota leads that are over 10 years old and look as good as new. They are easy to clean, have held up with daily use, and are extremely soft yet sturdy – an ideal slip lead for delicate Whippet necks. As an added bonus, they offer a wide variety of color options, several different widths, and come in a 4′ and 6′ length.
