Is this leash suitable for a 45 lb dog?

It is rated for dogs up to about 45 lb, but it is built around mini and small breeds. A strong puller near that limit is better on a fixed leash.

How long is the leash?

The tape extends to 16 ft. That gives a small dog room to sniff without letting it reach traffic or other dogs.

This is flat nylon tape. It is less likely to tangle and easier to see than thin cord, though it can still sting if grabbed while retracting.

Yes. The thumb trigger brakes the tape and locks it at the length you choose, then releases with a push.

For light trail walks with a small dog, yes. For rough terrain and brush, a fixed leash gives more control and less chance of snagging.

The retractable leash unit with the tape and a clip for the collar or harness. A collar or harness is not included.
