Where to buy carabiner clips for dog leash?
There are different kinds of hooks attached to the dog leash, it makes us puzzled to choose the right one. Where to buy carabiner?
Carabiner for the dog safety
Carabiners are metal loops with spring-loaded “gates”. You can quickly and easily connect stuff together using carabiners.
You could make a carabiner attach to each of my dogs’ leashes at the handle.
Using the carabiners to temporarily anchor your dogs to things For example:
- a car
- a picnic table
- my belt
- a fence
With your dogs securely on leash and carabinered to something, it’s like having an extra hand or two. You could use the carabiners when on dog road trips.
Choose Your Carabiner
Go to your local hardware or outdoor sports equipment store and find the sturdy carabiners. Don’t get the flimsy key-chain and decorative variety (they break and bend easily!)
Gates and Shapes
Carabiners come in various shapes. Most are “D”, oval, or pear shaped.
- I prefer a solid “gate”, note the wire-looped kind. There is less opportunity for something to snag.
- I recommend a straight gate. The curved/bent kind can get unclipped if “not used correctly”.
- I chose a non-locking gate. The locking mechanism is a cumbersome. I’d use a locking one, however, in non-temporary situations.
- My carabiners are pear-shaped. The narrow part of the pear keeps it snug on the leash handle so it doesn’t swing around while walking.
