That's who I order from She is very helpful!! I ordered the size 3 from her too because I knew it would be easy to return to her and get a new one

Alright, just placed my order! LOL. I went thru amazon which is sold from wetnoseboutique.

Got the black size 6. It says it will be here Monday or Tuesday! Can't wait to try it out.

I saw this one website offered a "Vectra 16" repellent/spray for $5.00 extra but I figured it might make more sense for me to buy a bottle of it to keep? BUDDY BELTS are made of leather. Before initial wear, it is highly recommended that you treat your BUDDY BELT with a quality water and stain repellent product. We offer stain guard service with Vectra 16 Protectant for $3-5 which repels tough stains while keeping the suede and leather soft and luxurious looking.

Do you think I should buy a bottle, or could I find something in a store that would work?

My mom absolutely LOVES leather products. Shoes, coats, bags, etc.

She treats them all with the SAME product and it works great and her stuff lasts a really long time. She treats everything before use (and may retreat... I'll have to double check that).

I'll ask her what it is. I think it would be applicable here because the harness is leather. I don't think you need a special product to protect the leather, just one that works.

I was wondering the same thing. I'm planning to just pick this up at Walgreen's and see how it works. Kiwi*Protect-All Leather and Fabric Protector Spray | Walgreens

I saw that they make a liner for the buddy belt. I was thinking of getting Trixie the buddy belt harness, but do I need the liner??

I will check in with my mum like I said, but I think you could use any leather protector that works!

I think we may have been posting at the same time - I didn't see what you'd written before I replied.

I actually need to go to Walgreen's for something else, so I'm going to go ahead and pick up a can of that spray. But I'd really like to know what your mother uses that she likes so well, just in case.

Woohoo!! I am looking forward to seeing pictures and hearing your reviews. Jackson looks awesome in everything, but I think he is going to look super cool in the BB.

Just got in from Walgreens. I had to ask for help finding it. It was on a rack on the side of an endcap display with stuff to care for shoes. It was on the aisle that said Shoe Needs and it's a small spray can about 4-5 inches tall with a reddish/orangish cap..

Congrats!! I really think you and Jackson will like his new harness.

I agree, I think he will look bad to da bone, hahaha. OK, I'll stop being lame now. There is a Harley Davidson collar at Petsmart that says Bad to the Bone on it that I've been wanting to get Jackson for a while... I think it would go nicely with his BB, lol.

OK, thanks!! I'm about to head out to run my errands now anyways so I will stop in and check.

OMG you should definitely get it for him! It would be adorable. Plus, I love Harley Davidson stuff. I have a sweet pair of HD boots!

I bought some from another site one time and didn't realize they were sold seperate (I figured they came as a pair, one for each side of the belt) so I was really shocked when I only got ONE in the mail and paid $8+shipping for it

I went to JoAnn's and bought my own soft fabric and velcro and sewed some myself. I don't use them often, only when her hair is short and I'm worried it might rub. Otherwise I don't use the liners

LOL, yep. He's got an 18" girth and is 16lbs of muscle! YT member lovetodream says her Callie, who is also 16lbs, is in a size 6.
