Company founder Joslin Larson invented the VirChewLy Indestructible Dog Leash after her childhood dog, Shelly, chewed through her leash and was hit by a car. Several years ago, when her puppy Jake began to chew through all his leashes, she vowed to never let the tragedy happen again and she was inspired to create the VirChewLy Indestructible Leash. Today, nearly three decades later, Larson worked hard to give a happy ending to this common canine tragedy and has so far helped keep over 25,000 dogs worldwide safe from the dangers of a chewed leash. Even the worst chewers are no match for the VirChewLy Leash, the toughest and strongest leash on the market. Our best-selling leash is so strong that you could almost pull a tractor with it. But please don?t! The hardware we use is rated for the size of dog it can sustain and this leash safely holds dogs that weigh from 2lbs to 220lbs. A special detachable handle allows you to use the leash as a tether or a tie out. So when you come back the leash is still intact, the dog is still intact and the handle is still intact. The VirChewLy Indestructible Leash is constructed from lightweight, flexible, incredibly strong vinyl coated steel cable with a minimum breaking strength of over 900 pounds. The hardware we use is rated to the weight of your dog and can safely hold between 2lbs - 220lbs. Because dogs don't have the right incisors to cut steel, it is virtually chew proof and therefore the safest leash on the market. It is also break proof, tangle proof and rust and odor resistant. Our leashes come with a detachable handle made from extremely strong comfortable 1" nylon webbing. The Walk-n-Lock tie-out feature easily secures your pet to a post or tree. Our goal is to Keep Dogs Safe, One Leash at a Time.

That?s because it?s made from lightweight braided steel wire thatdogs simply cannot chew through! Unlike chain metal leads or nylon leashes, it will not leave you with cold hands or nasty knots to untie. So who is buying the leash? She says the No. 1 purchasers of the leash are Labrador owners but the leash is a true performer for virtually any breed, and pet owners buy it for all sizes, types, and ages of dog. While other leash companies are making attractive, durable-seeming leashes, those very same leads can be demolished by a chewing dog in a matter of minutes or even seconds, putting a dog's life at risk, especially if the leash is being used as a tether. The VirChewLy Indestructible Leash is equipped with hardware that allows it to safely double as a tether.Tough as nails, literally Your dog is no match for this leash!
