Leather treatment

i'm not sure if this has been asked before, but what leather care products do you use for your dogs harness? i don't want to get one that could be harmful to my dogs skin or health but would like to keep the harness in tip top condition, any help would be great thanks

Saddle soap or Bees wax.

that's great thanks, we have an equestrian shop in town, i'll try there. thanks again

I don't have leather stuff for my current dog, but I used soft saddle soap previously. If you can't get it from an equestrian shop then you should be able to get it from someone that sells leather handbags/luggage etc, or have a look on amazon......

thanks, i'm reasonably lucky where i live, we are right on the edge of the north oxfordshire countryside, so loads of equestrian shops nearby, i'll phone round to see who has got it in stock, but beeswax should be easier to get hold of(i think)

No probs mate.

I use baby oil

I use ketchup for the brasses (less smell than brasso but works just as good), and saddle soap or bees wax to clean the leather.

My dad uses natural kiwi shoe polish on his dogs collars etc.

I have also used baby oil to keep the leather supple inbetween cleans especially if they have got wet when out as I have found the leather has dried out slightly after being wet.
