## Design & Customization

OnLeash is designed to be "fresh and clean," avoiding the cluttered look of older multipurpose themes:

One-Click Demo Import: Quickly install the exact look of the demo site, including the "Dog Walker" and "Veterinary" variants.

Header & Footer Builder: Allows you to create custom navigation and contact info bars using the drag-and-drop WPBakery interface.

Gutenberg Compatible: While it utilizes WPBakery for complex layouts, it is fully compatible with the standard WordPress Block Editor for simple blog posts.

Mobile-First Approach: The theme is 100% responsive and Retina-ready, essential since most pet owners look for services while on the go.

## Comparison: OnLeash vs. Pet World vs. Tails

If you are deciding between top pet themes:

Pet World: Best for Large Directories. Use this if you are building a "Yelp for Pets" with many sitters and job listings.

Tails: Best for Medical Clinics. More clinical and professional, focused on veterinary health and hospitals.

OnLeash: Best for Small Business Services. Ideally suited for individual dog walkers or local grooming salons that need a high-conversion "booking" site.

## Pricing & Support

Standard License: Typically $69 on ThemeForest.

Updates: AncoraThemes is one of the most active developers on Envato; the October 2025 update focused specifically on security patches and TikTok/Social Media icon integrations.

Support: Includes 6 months of premium support and detailed video documentation for setting up the "Booked" plugin.
