2.0 out of 5 starsWish There Was An “Industry Standard” 6FT Leash Option
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2022
I have purchased Blueberry Pet items before (collars and leashes) purchasing this item (5 ft Leash, 3/4” Wide). My past Blueberry Pet collars and leashes have held up well. In the past, when I have ended up replacing either the leashes, or the collars, or both, it was not because of the products failing or malfunctioning; they were replaced because they were very worn, dingy, and “dirty,” from every day use and wear, with a very strong “puller” at that. The brightness and color brilliance of their nylon products will fade a noticeable amount upon the first few weeks of use, but after that initial fading, the colors are then steadily colorfast. But honestly, their collar and leashes are just your typical nylon dog collars and leashes. There is nothing really special about them at all. They usually have more color choices, patterns, designs and prints that a lot of the other pet products’ brands. But other than that, there is nothing else that makes their leashes and collars stand out from other brands’ collars and leashes in a positive way. And their products are almost always quite a bit more expensive than the same exact products from other brands, even their products without any patterns, designs, prints, or attachments, their products that are just a singular color (and sometimes even a very, very simple and plain singular color such as black) are almost always more expensive than other brands. Aside from being more expensive than other brands’ same products, another qualm that I have with their nylon leash products (and for a dog leash, it is a very big qualm) is the length that their leashes come in. A few years ago their leashes had a 6ft length option, and that was the length that I would purchase. I wish that they still a 6ft length option for their leashes as that is the “industry standard length” for short length leashes (When taking your dog to basic obedience classes, what length of leash does the trainer always tell you to get, and to have? 6ft!). Not only that, but their “5ft Length” is measured from the very end of the clasp that you attach to your dog’s collar/harness, all of the way to the end of the handle loop, which means that “true length” of the leash so to say, is even much, much shorter than that [5ft]! And I will say that that difference in length between the “longest short length” leash that Blueberry Pet offers (5ft), and all of the other pet brands’ “short length leashes,” that are the “industry standard length (6ft)” is strikingly noticeable during use! You’ll be indubitably surprised when using Blueberry Pet’s “longest short length leash” for the very first time. It is a vast difference! If Blueberry Pet doesn’t go back to having a 6ft leash, I can honestly say that this will be the last leash that I purchase from them (And thus most likely also the last Blueberry Pet collar that I purchase as well since I like my four-legged kiddos’ collars and leashes to match.). PLUS there are many, many other nylon dog “short length leashes” out there, that are not only the “industry standard short leash length” of 6ft, but that are also much, much cheaper (For the exact same thing! With the exact same quality!).
