Abstract
A retractable pet leash includes a leash housing, a gear element located within the leash housing, a channel extending along a length of the leash housing, a bag container integrated into either a first side panel or a second side panel of the leash housing, and a pull trigger in communication with the gear element. The leash housing includes the first side panel secured to the second side panel, a back portion including a handle, and a front portion including an opening through which a string portion of the leash extends and retracts. The gear element is configured for extending and retracting the string portion of the leash. The channel is configured for receiving a removable coupling member of a flashlight. The pull trigger is alterable between a retracted position and a pulled position. In the retracted position, the gear element is locked. In the pulled position, the gear element is unlocked.
