Nancy, crystal customization is available on all BBs.

I knew they sold ones with crystals now, but when she said, " I'm not sure why I put crystals on a natural belt either", I thought that meant she had done it herself.

I have Chihuahuas and a Koolie and I found Susan from Wetnose Boutique who has been fabulous at shipping product at a reasonable price for me and just generally being super-helpful. I purchased Buddy Belts for my 2 Chis and was so impressed that I shelled out for a size 8 with matching lead for the Koolie.

Last night I suddenly had a little panic attack about the $$ that I had spent and started wondering if it will really last the big dog since he'll naturally be harder on the harness than the little guys. The resounding endorsements and photo that Maximo posted have made me feel so much better - thank you!!

This is Nibbler in his Size 2 Natural Buddy Belt with Crystals (yeah I'm not sure why I put crystals on a natural belt either. It doesn't really work but I like sparkles). Thanks again, you guys are the best!

We love our BB . . We have a bunch and we love that they are made of leather . . And with Galen's growing coat I find it easy on it

CouversMom · 10-13-2014, 05:51 PM

I have had Couver's black Buddy Belt for almost 5 years now. It is in great condition. We love our Buddy Belts!

I like the Bubby belts. Better then the many I have tried. Other $$ ones also. Winnie will get one when she get older also. I will buy from Maximo also. Try to support the little or small sellers. Besides shes a good retailer

Yorkiedaze · 02-15-2015, 07:46 PM

Bought 4. 2 of them 8 years ago, 1 7 years ago and 1, 3 years ago. Wouldn't use anything else and even my Vet. has ordered for her Yorkies after she saw the ones on my girls. They are worth every cent.

CouversMom · 02-15-2015, 08:37 PM

We have had one BB for over 5 years and two others for 3 and they are still in great condition. Yes, they really do last! I love ours and wouldn't use any other type of harness for my pups.

Lovetodream88 · 02-15-2015, 10:09 PM

I think Callie's is 4 years old if not 5 I love them.

Nancy1999 · 02-16-2015, 10:00 AM

I've had one for over 8 years, I saw one on Marcel and fell in love with it and him!

margaritaville · 02-18-2015, 04:20 PM

I have tried several other brand harnesses and they never seemed to fit properly. first I got a black BB for Bubba and then I got a red snakeskin like one for Sissy from Maximo. I was unsure of the size and she helped me with the sizing. They fit perfectly and I have had them a couple years now. They are well worth the purchase.

ApolloDD · 02-24-2015, 08:48 PM

So happy to see this posted! I have been researching for days on the buddy belts! Maximo I ordered Apollo's first one from your website:-)

Can't wait to try it out! They seem so wonderful! Thanks for this post!
