I don't buy expensive things unless it's truly above cheaper versions in quality, comfort, or safety. The buddy belt meets all 3 criteria. I also think it's worth spending a bit extra to get one of the super soft leathers, like knight.
The main reason I bought one is I have my dog in the car a lot and I saw videos of "car" harnesses failing, usually the plastic clips slide out of place or broke. The buddy belt is leather and heavy metal so it's unlikely to fail.
I also bought it because of stories about people yanking their dog up by the BB without it getting hurt.
I'd rather spend $50 on a safer harness that should last most of my dogs life than $20+ for a nylon one at petsmart that I'll need to replace in 2-3 years. |
