Paracord: A Dog's Best Friend
A few ways paracord can please your pup
My mom thinks my Golden Retriever is a human. I’ve caught
her on numerous occasions attempting to instigate conversations to no avail;
“Riley, are you excited to go to the lake?!” Riley stands, aimlessly wagging
his tail in response. For the majority of pet-lovers, the term “pet” doesn’t do
our dogs justice. A dog is more so an extension to one’s family—a hairy,
four-legged extension. Naturally, we wish to provide our dogs with the best
equipment possible; that’s where paracord comes in. A handful of creative
corders began crafting items such as leashes, collars, harnesses, and toys constructed with powerful paracord to both spoil and protect their pups. Listed
below are five items that are guaranteed to put a slobbery smile on the face of
your beloved dog:
1. Paracord Dog Leash
Take a walk on the not-so-wild
side! Paracord Planet’s impeccable cord can withstand as much as 750 lbs. of
pull with each single rope. That means that the next time your pooch attempts
to run after the mailman, you don’t have to worry about a leash fraying,
ripping, or slipping from your hands. A paracord dog leash will allow you to
contain your dog’s energy and keep you, the walker, in control. To learn how to make your own paracord dog leash, click here.

2. Paracord Dog Collar
Who says a dog can’t have fashion sense?! Equipping
your pup with a stylish, handcrafted paracord collar is a surefire way to get
all the other dogs on the block barking in sheer jealousy. Outside of the
stylistic benefit, placing a paracord collar around your dog’s neck is a great
way to make sure that you have easy access to even more survival cordage. The
strength and durability of paracord is just an augmented benefit when it comes
to these collars. You can almost guarantee that one hand-crafted collar will be
enough to last your dog’s entire lifetime. To learn how to make your own paracord dog collar, click here.

3. Paracord Dog Harness
The same benefits that apply to a paracord collar can
be reiterated in this section. Strength, durability, style, and further
survival capabilities all combine to make constructing your harness with
paracord a very sensible option. Let’s be honest, paracord has the innate power
to make anything look better. For the aesthetically-concerned, a cord harness
breeds a plethora of benefits. To learn how to make your own paracord dog harness, click here.

4. Paracord Dog Toy
Up to this point, an indestructible dog toy seemed
unfathomable. What kind of material could match the strength and relentlessness
of a canine’s clutch? Paracord, of course. A paracord dog toy will be the
ultimate test for your dog, entertaining it as it tries for hours on end to
chew through the resistant cordage. Finally, you’ll have a toy that can
withstand more than a few weeks of torment. These toys are often simple to
make, and allow room for creativity as well. To learn how to make your own paracord dog toy, click here.
