Recommendations... Hi, I am planning on visiting my family at the end of next month and was trying to get a list of items together to get for my new puppy. So basically my question is what item do you have that you just would insist that you couldn't live without. I see several of you on line complement different products that your dog has and you think is the best item that you have for your yorkie. By the way I will be traveling to Florida specifically Orlando and to Palm Beach and all the cities in between. This could be harnesses, clothing, hair products : shampoo, conditioners, bows, combs or any other item you think is a must have! I live in England and they do have things here but I'm not near a major city and most things are sooooo expensive here plus added that I don't have any recommendations of products and would rather purchase things that others have used and really like! Thank you so much... By the way my female puppy (Tali) is almost 5 months old. Really appreciate all your input! Hugs.... |
Look for TJ Maxx, Marshal's and HomeGoods stores... they always have great pet sections for good prices. I get a lot of toys and clothes for a third the price you find at other stores. And my ONE could not live without is the Deer antler... we have emergency backups even at our house. |
Only one? There's too much! Ha ha. I would recommend just putting as much extra to the side as you can from now until then and just buy everything you want that's not as expensive there. Clothes, etc. Another option is to buy online and have it shipped to your family's address and pick it up there next month, if they'll let you. |
A metal comb! Henri has multiple brushes but a metal comb is the best for getting out knots and great for a quick hair fix. Don't use plastic because those can break too easily :) |
My absolute must-haves for my boys: 1. Harness: we love Buddy Belts so much that I became a retailer :) 2. Grooming products: shampoo, conditioner, comb and brush, topknot bands (I like so many brands -- most of them available online, or a really good dog boutique) I would Google for local dog boutiques in the cities you will be visiting. Enjoy! |
My recommendation would be a great fitting Harness. I love the Buddy Belt Harness also because of the safe design and the secure fit. Not to mention they come in an array of gorgeous colors also! :) I've purchased my BB's from Kristin, (Maximo) who has an online store and will gladly help you with any questions you may have. Designer Dog Clothes, Dog Accessories | W. Field's Dog Boutique Wishing you and Tali a wonderful and adventurous trip! ;) |
Just to let you know Tali won't be able to come with me. England has very strict laws on dogs interning the country even if they were gone for a couple of weeks. They have to be in quarantine for I think something like 6 months. Think this is mostly due to the Rabies threat. So I have to take measurements and pray things fit. I was thinking of getting a buddy belt but want to see it before I purchase. I was hoping that people could recommend brands and that type of things. I really appreciate all your thoughts :) |
Awww... I'm so sorry, I thought you were planning to bring Tali with you. My must have list would still consist of a Buddy Belt and feel I couldn't live without at least one! Lol :) I'm sure you're baby will be so excited to see you and her gifts when you get back home. ;) |

Just a quickie re the Buddy Belt - if you decide on one, don't forget you can buy them in the UK now - www.notforpussyscom (such an unfortunate name...!!!) and they retail at £24.99 which I think is really good? :) Hugs, Sally + Harry x |
Awwwh thanks Harry's mom ... I didn't know that will have to check it out! I guess I'll just have to check out some pet boutiques in and around Orlando and Palm Beach. If anyone knows of a great store please let me know! Thanks again!, |

Just type in pet boutique and the city et voila. Personally, I have a love/hate relationships with yelp, so don't take all the reviews on there with a grain of salt. |
Take all the measurements of your pup so you can get things to fit |

I would definitely recommend a Buddy Belt as well :D We love our Buddy Belts. However, I would recommend waiting until your puppy is full grown to get her one. They are a little pricey to wear for only a month or so... |

Yes I was going to take measurements but like you say she is still a puppy so am in a bit of a quandary about whether to wait or take the chance and home she doesn't change much(?) I still want to check out the harness so I can see it from the pictures it looks like it could be a bit stiff and if anything I put on her that is stiff she chews the heck out of it we have gone through three already granted they were inexpensive well one wasn't but what can you do. I also saw on ebay a brand /designer Susan Lanci that had a step in one that was made out of microfibre, which I thought might be a lot softer. So as for the harness I'm in a huge quandary! I am taking a sewing course so was also thinking of checking out Joanne's fabric to see about getting the right fabric to make a fancy one myself but again we shall see the options. What about any shampoo, conditioner, or tangle free type stuff? The puppy seems to have a more cottony coat but her legs and head seem more fine. Just would like to find some items that everyone swears by :) Thanks again.... |
