Product FAQ's
What makes these products 'anti-theft'?
Our Products have a specific quality that will make it more difficult for thieves to achieve their goals. We have stitched 1.5mm stainless steel cable into our products. This is to help prevent opportunist thieves cutting through them to steal your dog and is used as a deterrent only.
Do they come in other colours?
No not at this stage. The manufacturer has imposed a minimum of 100 sets per colour as a minimum order, so to make things less complicated at the start we've stuck with black only.
Do the Locks come included with the lead?
Yes, 2 red safelysecured combination locks are supplied with each lead and lead splitter.
Can I buy extra locks?
Yes! We now how blue, pink, black and red locks for sale. Just click Products above and click Anti-Theft Locks.
Are there any bigger sizes of harness?
At this stage - the biggest harness we offer is 4XL which suits dogs around Labrador size. If you can't see a harness that fits your dog, please email info@safely-secured.com and let us know how big you need.
Can I buy just a lead?
Yes. Just select Anti-theft Lead in the products tab above. Please note though, for extra security we do recommend you pair the lead with a safelysecured harness or collar.
Why are there 2 types of collar buckle?
We have used a different buckle for the XL collar because it's a lot wider than the others. This buckle is a combination lock instead of a key.
Help! I've lost my key to my collar!
Don't worry. Please email info@safely-secured.com and we will send you a replacement free of charge.
Is there anything else i need to know about the products?
It goes without saying, this product is intended as a deterrent to opportunistic thieves, and should only be used for this purpose. Common sense needs to prevail when leaving your dog outside of a shop. If the area has known professional dog thieves nearby, then please do not leave your dog unattended. It is not an absolute solution to theft of a pet and that the term ‘anti-theft’ (or any like reference) is not intended to guarantee protection against theft or harm to your pet. The Products must be used with reasonable care by the purchaser for its intended use only.
Reasonable precautions should be taken when using the lead and harness and they cannot be relied upon on its own to prevent theft.
A few extra points
• The onus is on each dog owner to know their pets and behaviours.
• Typically, dogs like to chew everything (including dog leads) and they often eat things that they are not supposed to. To prevent harm or unwanted challenges, common sense and knowing your dog’s habits should be factored into whether you are comfortable leaving your dog alone with the Product.
• We recommend that each dog owner supervises their pet with the Product being worn and uses their best judgement to determine whether their dog can be left safely alone with the lead.
• Safety should come first – and, if you are in doubt – then don’t leave your dog unsupervised with the Product.
Are the products waterproof?
Water resistant yes, waterproof no. We recommend you use our products for your standard dog walks, not if your dog loves jumping in rivers and the sea. If your safelysecured products get dirty we recommend cleaning them with a sponge and soapy water and not in the washing machine.
I have arthritis in my hands, will i be able to use the products?
Most of the products yes, the only issue you may find is with the standard sized locks. The numbers on these locks are quite small, so if you think this will be an issue, we recommend purchasing the large locks as well, which will be easier to use.
