ABSTRACT:
A pet tie apparatus is adapted for tying a pet to an anchor object so that the pet may move freely about the anchor object without tangling or wrapping the tie apparatus around the anchor object so as to limit the pet's movement. The pet tie apparatus includes an elongated anchor member having a substantially uniform outer cross-sectional size and shape and connecting means connected to the elongated anchor member for connecting the two ends of the anchor member together around the anchor object to form a closed anchor ring extending completely around the anchor object. The apparatus also includes a flexible lead member having a lead end to which a pet collar may be secured and a ring end connected to a slip ring member adapted to be slidably received on the elongated anchor member before being connected to form the closed anchor ring. The slip ring member is adapted to slide along the closed anchor ring formed by the connected elongated anchor member so that the pet may move around the anchor object without wrapping the lead member around the object. Preferably, the connector for the elongated anchor member is adapted to form an elongated anchor connection when connecting the two ends of the anchor member, the elongated anchor connection being similar in outer cross-sectional size and shape to the elongated anchor member and being generally axially aligned with the adjacent portions of the anchor member. Thus, the slip ring member may easily slide around the entire closed anchor ring and does not catch on the anchor member connection.
