Pampered Pals: Buddy Belt Harness Liners

PetSugar — Mon, 20 Jul 2009 09:30:19 -0700

Step-in style harnesses for your little buddies, Buddy Belts look something like eyeglasses frames when laid flat - one paw goes where each "eye" would be. Coming in sizes for the small to medium dog, many people complain that these leather products can irritate the underarms of sensitive pooches, despite the secure, and chic, style.

If you've experienced this hairy issue, consider picking up a Buddy Belt Dog Harness Liners ($8–$14) for added comfort. Made with sizes to fit any Buddy Belt, it helps your sensitive pup keep all his hair in the right place, but still enjoy your walktime pace.

Found! Julianne Hough's Harness Set

Well, she may have been kicked off of Dancing With the Stars last week, but that's not stopping Julianne Hough from enjoying a sunny day in LA. She took a lil walk with her Cavie cutie sporting his own tan twinset. Of a harness and matching lead I mean. Looks like he gets quite a bit of use out of that frayed leash, but pick up your own combo – there's a Puppia Harness ($19) and matching lead ($10) in a rainbow of colors for even the most discerning pooch.

Quick Tip Before Buckling Up . . .

PetSugar — Wed, 11 Mar 2009 04:15:54 -0700

Whether your furry friend rides in a belt harness or a car seat while on road trips, I wanted to point out a quick tip for safety. Even if you prefer collars for walking, don't clip these to a seat belt or car seat attachment.

Personally, I don't believe in traveling with an unsecured pet period and, under no circumstances, should you drive around with a restraining device attached to your dog's collar. (I don't need to give you the graphic visual, but I'm sure you can picture what happens if you slam on the brakes.) Next time you're ready to hit the road, stock a harness just in case or, invest in a special version that attaches straight to the car safety device from your walk time, too!

Found! Kelly Osbourne Loves Gooby, Mascot, and Sporky

PetSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:00:26 -0800

Attention, attention, new puppy alert! Kelly Osbourne has been spotted over the last couple weeks with this lil furball! The Shiba Inu already has her (his?) wings taking plane trips with mom. Looks like Kelly wasted no time in getting this pup the coolest gear. What products did they travel with? Find out below.

Even though temperatures don't drop that much in LA, the Gooby Winter Freedom Harness ($30) is a snuggly alternative to traditional reins made of synthetic deer skin and lined with faux fur for an off-to-the-mountains look.
Then there's no matchy matchy necessary here as the pup also sports a Mascot Old School Repp Lead ($42) in one of six preppy color combos.
Lastly, she adds a pink piggy to the leash. While Sporky ($15) may appear to be a poop bag holder to an untrained eye, it's actually a dispenser for wet wipes, great for keeping fingers (and paws) clean on the plane.

My Three Pretty Collar Picks From Wonderdog NYC's Fall Line

PetSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:00:16 -0700

I was already a big fan of Wonderdog, especially since they make cute walking harnesses (which are way harder to locate for those noncollar wearing pups). Now I'm loving their warm, earthy-toned additions for Fall so much that I've picked my three favorite styles below. Don't worry matching fans, they stock coordinating leashes, too!

Wonderdog Pawsley ($32)

Wonderdog Commando ($32)

Wonderdog Derby Stripe ($32)

Matchy Matchy Leashes to Collars and Harnesses?

PetSugar — Wed, 13 Aug 2008 07:00:35 -0700

Even if you're not down with coordinating with your furry friend, Thurman Murman's constantly rotating leash collection got me thinking – is it necessary to match the leash to the collar or harness? While Samson's sporting a set here, I know my pooch has many more harnesses than leashes . . . but he still has that basic black Flexi that just seems to go with everything. I make an effort to at least grab a leash that looks OK with the harness I slip on – how about you?

Do Your Dogs Wear a Harness and a Collar?

PetSugar — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 11:00:01 -0700

Walk time fills North with tail-waggin' joy, and it's definitely rein-in harnesses at my house! Call it personal preference, if you will, but I still think my pup's better suited with a harness like his smooshy breathren. I'm curious do you also put a collar on your harnessed pet like these two?

Tiffany's, Sniffany's – Your Pup Deserves It All!

PetSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 03:00:49 -0700

I'm always on the hunt for flashy products to let your pets get in on the wedding action! Now the bling may not be for every gal's pooch, but I know my heart flutters at the sight of the trademark Tiffany & Co. box. Sooo, why not treat an equally lucky pup to a matching lil blue satin harness ($35) for a future ring bearer to don during the ceremony and a Sniffany & Co. squeaky toy ($14) for afterwards!

Bare Bones: Wonderdog Accessories

PetSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 13:30:18 -0700

I have fallen in love with Wonderdog! The oh-so-classy collars, leashes, and harnesses are slightly reminiscent of Crewmutts, add in a hint of Mascot, and a splash of NYC edge, and fresh out of the oven come these chic doggy duds. I'm especially loving the Smith Collection ($32) and have some plans to pick up a few for my own little pampered pal to sport around town.

Started in 2005, Wonderdog began by making chic pet beds, but found their awesome design skills lie in functional and fashionable accessories. What's better, you won't break the bank with Wonderdog with all of their collars costing under $35 and leads and harnesses ringing in less than $50. You can't go wrong with those numbers! You can pick up your own set at a number of stores around the country, or order online.

How Much Would You Spend?

PetSugar — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 07:00:31 -0800

I am still stunned by lavish collar options like the one Ritchie the bulldog wore at Harrods' 'Pet-à-Porter' fashion show and the most expensive ($1.8 million) 'Amour Amour' collar seen above. I like to spoil my pup but, until I have 1,600 diamonds, poor North will have to settle for leather harnesses. Be it a harness or a collar that your pet prefers, what's the most you would drop on your pets for one of the two?
