Reader Question: Pet Stuff Storage (Part 2: Hooks for Leashes)
Hooks are a natural answer for hanging leashes by the door. While there's obviously no need to buy a dog-themed hook for the leashes, there are a number of options if you do want such a hook. Many of them didn't do much for me - but here are some that did catch my eye.
The Happy Puppy key and leash holder above is made from recycled scrap materials, which means each piece is a bit different from all others. Update on January 10, 2012: See more of the Yardbirds key/leash holders here. There are cat versions, too.)
Bones are a common theme in leash holders; here's a dog bone rack. Update on January 9, 2012: The site that was selling this leash holder no longer has it.
And here's another dog-bone-themed leash holder.
Moving beyond metal options, here's a mosaic tile bone-shaped dog leash holder.

This leash holder comes from Nancy DeYoung.
You can get a leash holder custom-made with your pet's name. Update on January 9, 2012: The site that was selling these seems to have disappeared.
Over on Etsy you can get a paw print leash holder.
And moving away from simple wall hooks, here's another way to store leashes.
Update on June 6, 2009: You can find one more hook in Part 4 of this series, listed below.

Jeri,
ReplyDeleteGreat stuff. Have you seen the dog and cat toy storage boxes at www.sierraboxcompany.com? They are repetitively inexpensive and will hold all kinds of things for your pets. Take a look.

Leonard: No, I hadn't seen these. Thanks for the pointer!
ReplyDeletehaha those dog rear ends are hilarious. Those are some great ideas for storing your leashes or extra collars!
