  • Chic, modern color palette
  • Waterproof, wipe-clean materials
  • Soft, cushioned harness construction
  • Versatile leash length options
  • Inconsistent harness fit, loosening
  • Heavy, uncomfortable leash handle
  • Fragile poop bags and holder
  • Chipping hardware coating durability

Wild One earns mixed reviews: the brand delivers stylish, easy-to-clean leashes, bowls, toys, and soft harnesses that many find durable and comfortable, yet recurring complaints flag harness fit/loosening, heavy or awkward hardware, fragile poop bags and holders, and occasional leash/hardware failures. Reviews praise the chic colorways, waterproof wipe-clean materials, multiple leash lengths and front-clip control, and travel carriers/bowls, but note inconsistent durability, sizing quirks for certain breeds, and some products feeling flimsy or unsafe for strong pullers.

  • If you are looking to buy any of the wild one products (specifically the harness/lead/treat bag set (priced at $130 +) because of the unique colours and sturdy promise of good quality stuff, a cautionary tale ’tis to follow… I as most saw the beautiful colours and design, thinking ‘why not splurge a little?! They have such great reviews’. So went for it. We got the harness/lead/treat bag in the lovely Cocoa colour. A little over a month has gone by and now the color (paint) has come off of ALL the clips and o-rings, leaving the bare metal visible beneath (making it look super tatty and unkempt). When I wrote to wild ones, the response (and this is seriously the response I got) was “just wash it with same warm water and soap”. That this is ‘normal’ wear and tear. To have such a nonchalant ability at gaslighting clients that this condition is to be expected after a months use, is stunning (and pretty impressive in a messed up way). + for added info, my dog is 7.5pounds (she’s a killer :) and we’ve had the lead for a month, yet the paint is coming off all three: lead, harness, treat bag and looks really bad. I guess nothing a little warm water and soap can’t fix though! Yep, so in conclusion, and thank you for coming to my ted talk, if you’re considering wild one because of the colours and very heavily marketed ‘amazing’ quality of their leads/harness etc, I would say def save yourself the + $130 and go for a harness that won’t be ‘worn and torn’ after a months use. Signed Sincerely, Olives fur-mom.

  • Very stylish, high quality harness and leash for my pup. They even send a free tennis ball with my purchase that matched the color of his harness! Love the aesthetic color selections and care and craftsmanship that went into the products. I want only the best for my dog and this is definitely in that category.

    Great overall! Only thing I wish they had was step in harnesses instead of just over the head ones as my pup can be a bit fussy with putting things over his head but definitely still great!

  • Over all I love the harnesses more than anything!!! But my dachshund just got ahold of his head for literally 5 seconds I got to unbuckled his sister and turned around and he’s very deep into ruining his 50 dollar leash 🙃🫠🫠🫠 honestly idk if I’ll buy another leash from them now they’re so expensive and I can’t afford to heart ache from him ruining it in seconds

  • Great color scheme. Looked cute on my CKCS. It had a short lifespan once it got dirty at the beach.

  • Have loved WO for years now. We get compliments on our sets all the time :)

  • I got my husky the blue walk kit in large. I tend to size up since he has a thick coat. I love how fashionable it is!

  • Wild One has been one of those purchases that quietly proves its worth every single day. The walk set bought six years ago is still going strong, which says a lot given how often it gets used. The material feels sturdy but flexible, and it hasn’t cracked, frayed, or gotten that grimy look some leashes and harnesses get over time.​ The design is simple and modern, with colors that look good hanging by the door and on actual walks. Everything is easy to put on and adjust, which makes getting out the door with an excited dog much less chaotic. It also gets clean quickly after rainy or muddy walks, which is a big plus. The price is definitely higher than basic pet-store gear, but it's worth it.

  • Love that you can find your style, look and feel. I think this concept is super cute, and appreciate the minimalist designs. Haven't used any products long enough to comment on the quality or longevity of the product.

  • I opted in for their dog bowls - I wanted stainless steel (as the internet suggested that was best). I love the colors that Wild One offers (I got the lilac) and it looks so good in my home!

  • great looking toys, good quality, great overall experiance

    great for chewers, fun toys and great gear. Esthetically pleasing

  • I am obsessed (!) with their leashes. We have the one for small dogs and it’s so leightweight yet feels durable and no matter how often I drop it to the ground it seems to stay clean (and if not I’ll just wipe it really quickly)! 10/10 will definitely buy more! I also love that it unclips so I can attach stuff easily!

    Feedback

    Make harnesses without the padding so it’s easier to fit different kinds of dogs! I’d buy one immediately but none of the current ones worked for our dog‘s body

  • The leashes are fantastic! I have two Bernese Mountain Dogs and the ability to quickly change from a long to short leash is an absolute lifesaver in the city. The entire line is chic and very well-made.

    Feedback

    The only qualm I have is that the poop bag holder has a tendency to unscrew and also scratches quite easily. That's the only thing I wouldn't repurchase.

  • I’m not a fan of the silicon products. They get so dirty so easily and they stay easily and you can’t wash away the stains. And I’ve called the customer service and they’re quite rude.

  • I got their travel carriers for a flight with my cats. I liked that they were TSA approved and fit nicely under the seats. The bag is sturdy and well-made! The only thing that I felt like could be improved was some sort of window or latch that would allow your pet to have its head out/view what's going on when in the bag. It might be good for pets with anxiety that would rather be in a more enclosed environment but I think my cats felt antsy because they weren't able to see where we are going.

  • I purchased the harness in black. I probably should have taken advantage of the "stylish" colors available. It also felt a little flimsy, it feels like just a neoprene vest. I have a large dog, and if he was a puller I would feel a little nervous in this harness,. Nothing else really wrong with it, we ended up getting another harness that works better for us.

  • I love this brand! The quality of the dog harnesses and leashes are unmatched. I love the fun color patterns of the items and the fact they are truly durable for dogs that may pull or have some leash reactivity.

  • This brand makes the cutest collars and leashes for my dog. I love the different colors and sizes that they offer. The colors that are used are very modern and match my aesthetic. My dog also looks super good in them.

  • The harness and leash are both high quality and durable. Their biggest size juuust about fits my 80-lb lab so be sure to check measurements before purchasing.

  • Products are good quality, but it seems like price point is just to match them being on trend and popular. Fits were a bit weird on my pup who is usually fine in average sizing. Not the easiest to get the harness on and off. If they fit your aesthetic, go for it, but don’t break the bank for these
