YT member lovetodream says her Callie, who is also 16lbs, is in a size 6.

What a perfect doggy body! My Max is a skinny 14 pounds of lankiness and wears a 3.5. He'll probably need a size 4 soon.

I WISH Jackson would have fit in a 3.5! Would have saved my wallet a little bit.... I spent $80 on this thing! I hope we like it, LOL

I made the liner for Uni, she has very thin fine hair and it was irritating her armpits. I got faux sheepskin from joannes and hand sewed them in.

We bought the liners but ended up returning them. I didn't think they were really needed. I just takes a little time for the leather to soften.

We never treated ours before wearing but I wish we would have. The inside is getting a bit dirty now. They should last a very long time and I wish we'd taken better care from the start.

I can't wait to see pictures of Jackson in his new Buddy Belt!

Teddy received his new Buddy Belt today, a black one, and I was surprised that the underside was white. Our older ones are natural tan. I suppose it doesn't matter, but I'll be curious to see how it wears over time.

Hmmm, that's odd. Both of the ones I just got were natural tan on the inside.

Either way I 'm sure it's the same great product.

I just got a size 2 for Snick and it was white on the inside too. I came home to try it on him and it fits on the 2nd to last hole, not sure if I'm keeping it yet or getting him a size 3 as I'm not sure if clothing will fit under the 2. The 2 is a PERFECT fit for Snick, HMMMMMM!!!!!!!????

Just checked the status of the package!! Wow super fast shipping-it's almost here! It's "in transit" to my city, just left the post office an hour ago, lol. Yay, can't wait to try it on him!

Hopefully you get it soon!

Our Buddy Belts came today!!! I am very impressed with the quality and they are so soft already. I got the black for Bogie and the soft pink for Jada. They fit perfectly with enough room to go over their jackets in colder weather. Susan at Wetnose Boutique was very helpful. I would have had to return Jada's if I had ordered the size 3 I was going to for her. I can't wait to take my guys out for a walk, but that will have to wait until tomorrow. I have treated them with the water and stain repellent before we go out for a trial run with them.

Britster · 03-14-2011, 02:34 PM

Yay got it! Tried it on Jackson. I really like it. I feel like it's pretty soft and not that "hard" at all. Seems like it will be comfortable. My lining was white too.

Only thing I can't figure out.... you know where they put that lining overtop of the d-ring for comfort? Well... the 2 holes that fit Jackson best go through that lining as well as the leather... and when I try to pull the flap through, it won't go all the way through or lay all the way down?? It's like bulky.... like this first picture.

But otherwise I LOVE it!! And he looks very handsome in it. Just have to figure out how to get the flap down... it won't go any further than that.

Oh and I did buy this Kiwi leather stuff that I found at Walgreens but it wasn't a spray! It rubs on with a cloth.

Jackson looks fantastic in his BB!! The bulky lining thing, we had that problem because the boys wear theirs on a tight setting like Jackson. To fix it, work on manipulating the pieces to lay flat when you are fastening the belt. I know it is extra work at first and a bit of challenge, but eventually it just starts working on its own, if that makes sense.

Looks like the belt will work perfectly over shirts/jackets too.

I'm so happy you like it!!

Pink sounds pretty. I wish I had a girl.

The pink is very pretty.

My grown skin kids are both boys, so I enjoy the pink frilly stuff.
