Flexi Vario MultiBox is a 7×5 cm light grey container for poop bags that fits Flexi Vario retractable leads, from the German brand Flexi. It attaches securely to the lead, so bags are always to hand on walks. According to the manufacturer, it's light and sturdy, closes tightly, doesn't get in the way when walking and is built to last. The light grey colour goes with leads of different colours.
Why a lead-mounted container
When bags are in a coat pocket, they're easy to forget or drop. A container on the lead solves that: it's always with the lead and you don't need a separate pouch. It's especially handy for people who walk their dog several times a day and only take the lead and a phone. Picking up after your dog isn't just good manners — dog faeces can contain worm eggs that infect other dogs and people. More in worms in cats and dogs: prevention.

How to use it
Attach the container to the Flexi Vario lead casing, open it and load a supply of bags. Before heading out, check how many are left and top up — a compact container doesn't hold many. Tie used bags and drop them in the nearest bin; for long walks, keep a spare roll in your pocket. Wipe the container from time to time, especially after rainy walks.
Retractable or standard lead
The container is for Flexi Vario owners. If you're still choosing a lead, compare the pros and cons in retractable or standard lead. For small dogs, the Ferplast Flippy One Mini with a built-in bag holder is handy, and for dogs up to 15 kg there's the AnimAll retractable lead.
What else to take on a walk
As well as bags, it's useful to carry treats for rewards — see treats for dog training — a bottle of water in warm weather, and reflective gear or a torch if you walk after dark. A small kit of essentials makes walks calmer for both owner and dog.
How to choose a bag holder
If you have a Flexi Vario lead, the MultiBox is the neatest solution because it's made for that casing. For standard leads and other brands, universal holders that clip onto the handle or a belt are more practical. Check how it closes: the catch should keep the lid shut on the move but open easily with one hand.
Who it suits
Flexi Vario owners who want poop bags always to hand. More accessories are in the lead and collar accessories section.
Verdict
The Flexi Vario MultiBox is a compact, sturdy container that clips onto a Flexi Vario lead and keeps poop bags with you at all times. A simple but useful extra for daily walks. The downsides are that it only fits the Vario series and has a small capacity.
