Buddy Belts RAVE!!!!! Okay, so Im sure that all you YT mavericks have heard of this before now, but I just discovered the Buddy Belt! lol. Can I just say that its unbelievable! I hate the harness that go around the neck and belly, eventhough its got the D-ring on the backside (not by his neck). My DH bought one of these and Maxi fights us when we put it on, I just hated doing it to him. Plus its so big and we got the smallest size! So anyway, I shopping for a carrier bag and I saw this buddy belt and I couldnt believe it! Its exactly what I wanted for him and its so soft! the leather is like butter! I bought one and the size fits perfectly. It must not hurt him because he doesnt fight us when we put him in it. Its really great and I totally recommend it! |

You are so right the leather is so soft, and after over 2 years it looks good as new, and for those whose hands get a little stiff, it's so much easier to fasten than the clip type harnesses. |
All my babies wear buddybelts, and buddybelts ONLY. Although Sushi has a few harnesses dresses, which she wears for certain occasions, but for day to day use, BB it is! And yes, they are so soft like butter, and sometimes I don't even take them off after their morning walk, untill I take them out in the afternoon again. And they don't seem to mind it. They come in beautiful colors too. Their "limited edition" colors are gorgeous!!! And you can also get them with added studs, pearls, or diamonds! |
OK so can someone tell me what a buddy belt is? what does it look like and how is it different than other harnesses? |

Sake (he's an all white morkie), has it in a nice teal color with white pearls. Looks gorgeous on him. Missy's BB is Sugar Plum (a very nice metallic dark purple). |

1 Attachment(s) Sushi and Sake. Sake is weating a BB in teal, with pearl accent. What a heartbreaker my little boy is! :) |
1 Attachment(s) Hit post reply just like you were going to post a message, and you will see what looks like a little paper clip, click on that and it will tell you what to do. See picture. Oh you got it before I could explain how to do it. I love the way teal looks on him! |

Ohh!!! I was scared to get this color because I thought you wouldnt be able to see it! I ended up getting black because it was the only other color they had in his size and you cant even tell he is wearing it! I love them! |
I am going to look for one for my girls. |
Hi - where can i try these on my little Bella - i am on Long Island and really dont like the harness either - these look great! Thanks, Deb |
For those of you who already have one, is it gentle on the hair? I just worry about breakage.... |

HOLY COW - those are expensive harnesses. We love our buttery soft leather Choke-free harness....... |
I've never heard of these but they look like a step-in harness and I would like to know if it knots the hair like a regular over the head harness? thanks |

where do you get the harness you are referring to? |
Just out of curiosity, how much are they going for in the states? (I think ther're made in Canada). They sell them here for something around $40-50 CAD. At Woofstock (this annual doggy festival in Toronto) Buddy Belt had a booth, and they had this crazy sale going on. They were selling size two (the one Sushi and Mr. Big wear) for like $20-25!!! I bought three different colors for them. Sake and Missy already had theirs, which I had bought full price a while before....ouch! |
well I am looking online and I see prices from $36 to $75 US dollars- so depends on size and color |
these are too expensive for me but I may try the other one mentioned above but thanks to the orginal poster for telling us about them:) |
$75?????? wow, tht is expensive!!! Probably larger sizes, with lots of extras (they can add studs/pearls/diamonds/etc). Also, limited edition colors are pricier. |
This is where I got mine, Joey wears the size 3, which is for 4-8 pounds, and it is $36.00, smaller sizes are less. The belt lasts, there is really nothing to wear out. As I said before, over two years later and it's like new. Home of 4WeeBeasties - The Buddy Belt™ -Purchase and Size Chart |

You can find the Choke-Free harness pretty well priced at this site since they offer free shipping and they carry the leashes. Freidas Pet Boutique in Florida Home If you just want the harness you can get it here too: Chokefree Collars - Paw Treasures Wookie who is a member here on YT used to be a distributor but she is MIA and can't get a hold of her to order these anymore. |

We have always used the BB harness on Beatrice and started to use it on Sebastien,they really work great.A few weeks ago I noticed some breakage on the top of Sebastien's shoulders where the BB harness rests.I asked a fellow show person what to do about it,she said she doesn't use it for that reason-breakage. Beatrice doesn't seem to get breakkage from it,so we still use it on her.I am going to show Sebastien and don't want any breakage,so I've been using the "kindness show lead" on him.It is the same lead I will use on him in the ring-so it's good practice. So...I guess the breakage thing depends on the dog.My 2 have totally different hair types. |

And the BB booth was insane! At that price, people were climbing on top of each other to get through. Do you live in Toronto? Cuz I know of a place that has very good prices on BB. And everything else forthat matter. It's like a doggy walmart. You just have to go there with some time, and go through isles and isles of outfits and harnesses to find what you're looking for. Sorry about the mini highjack here. Back to BB's, yeah i love them. they might be a bit pricey, but they last forever. My dogs even went for a dip in the pond the other day WITH the BB's on, and they're still like new. No discoloration, nothing. |
