Ziippup dog leads started as an idea in 2021. Tired of clunky, unreliable poo bag holders that just wouldn't hold up, I knew there had to be a better solution. But there wasn't, so I designed one.
With the arrival of Ebba, our Staffy, I was overwhelmed by all the dog stuff we supposedly needed (poo bag holders, treat bags, ball throwers, raincoats) and surprised by the lack of sustainable dog gear.
Conscious of our environmental impact, we refused to buy any of it – instead we tied poo bags to the lead and stuffed our pockets full of treats. This worked well until Ebba decided that her favourite pastime was tearing up poo bags.
Over 18 months we tested most leads on the Australian market and worked closely with designers and manufacturers to bring you the Ziippup leash with built-in poo bag holder - an Australian first!
Due to it's unique stretch design the built-in storage pouch can be used as a poop bag holder, treat bag or purse.
Our leads are made from recycled plastic bottles and the all-in-one design eliminates the need for additional poo bag holders and treat bags. This isn’t just a win for you but also for our environment!
