Pet Flys Products


We have received a Pet Flys package from the USA. The package included the Canvas Boat Tote "Mon Bon Chien", the Bucky Belt "Iron Cross" and matching leash, and the Hammie and Hottie toys.

  
About Pet Flys
 
First, I would like to introduce Pet Flys before introducing and reviewing some of their products.
Pet Flys was created by Tammy Ann Arnett and is based in California, USA. After Tammy adopted a rescue Miniature Pinscher who is known as "Monkey Boy" and is the face of Pet Flys, Tammy decided to create pet products that are not only stylish but also functional. Thus, Pet Flys was founded in 2003 and became an instant hit!
Pet Flys does now sell a wide range of pet products including carriers, sweaters, blankets, toys and many many more.



 Bucky Belt and matching Lead


We got the "Iron Cross" Bucky Belt for Rocky. The Iron Cross Bucky Belt consists of soft brown Bison leather with purple stitching and Swarovski crystal stones in Amethyst. The Bucky Belt is available in 6 different sizes, ranging from XX-Small to X-Large. Rocky needs the Bucky Belt in size Small (measuring about 13" - 16.9") which is suitable for dogs weighing about 8.8lbs to 16.1lbs.
The Bucky Belt is available in a range of colours; the Bella Flora (consists of soft black Bison leather with Fuchsia stitching and Swarovski crystal stones in Fuchsia), the Buffalo Blue (consists of soft brown Bison leather with Baby Blue stitching and Swarovski crystal stones in Denim Blue), the Fleur De Lis (consists of soft black Bison leather with Gold stitching and Swarovski crystal stones in Golden Shadow), the Green Peace (consists of soft bown Bison leather with Peridot stitching and Swarovski crystal stones in Peridot), the Iron Cross (consists of soft brown Bison Leather with Purple stitching and Swarovski crystal stones in Amethyst), and the Jack Skull (consists of soft black Bison leather with Red stitching and Swarovski crystal stones in Light Siam). All Bucky Belts are available either with or without Swarovski crystal stones.


Once the Bucky Belt is fitted on the dog properly, the buckle at the back can stay closed and the Bucky Belt can be put on and taken off very easily using the swivel snap in the front!


The Bucky Belt also consists of a lot of very cute features. Thus, each Buchy Belt has a different swivel snap top. As you can see in the picture the Iron Cross Bucky Belt has a little cross. Also, the buckles are bone shaped which is very neat looking. Each Bucky Belt also has a little paw emblem with PF (for Pet Flys) on them.


 The Bucky Belts can come with a matching leash in either soft brown or black Buffalo leather.


Leashes are 5.5' long and 1/2" wide, and have an "O" ring that can be used to attach a doggie waste bag holder on them.


The leash has a very sturdy snap hook and also, like the Bucky Belt, a little paw emblem near the handle.

 

Here are some pictures of Rocky wearing his Bucky Belt:


Review: I always thought these sort of harnesses would rub on the dog's arms/armpits and thus never thought of getting one. However, I have been proofed wrong! 
I think the Bucky Belt is great. It is very nice and loose around the arms and it is not at all rubbing anywhere. The Buffalo leather is very soft and therefore adjust well to the body form. I am also very impressed about the overal good quality and all the cute features of the harness. I think they look simply very nice and fancy. Furthermore, I really like the swivel snap in the front which makes it very easy to put on and take off the harness, especially because I don't have to pull it over the dog's head (which Rocky hates). The swivel snap also gives the harness an extra flexibility so it can move with the natural body movements of the dog while walking. Additionally, I especially like that this is a choke free harness as it wraps around the dog's shoulders and chest rather than the neck!
I think it's great that the Bucky Belt comes in a variety of colours. I love the Iron Cross Bucky Belt Rocky has as my favourite crystal stone is Amethyst.
Due to the range of different sizes Bucky Belts are available for almost every dog.

I am also really happy with the leash. The soft Buffalo leather is very nice to hold and I really like that this leash is longer than usual leads. The "O" ring is a very nice feature and and well thought about so doggie waste bags no longer have to be hold but can simply be attached to the "O" ring.

I am overall very happy with the Bucky Belt and the matching leash and all the extra details show how much love was put into desinging them.



Canvas Boat Tote

The Canvas Boat Tote we got was the "Mon Bon Chien" (french for "my good dog"). The Mon Bon Chien Tote measures 16" L x 8" W x 11" H and the shoulder strap measures an extra 15". The Mon Bon Chien Canvas Boat Tote is black in colour with beige contrast on the bottom and handles. It comes with a plush pillow (measuring 8" x 15" and being 1.5" thick) and a blankie (measuring 14" x 14") in leopard pattern. To secure your dog, the carrier has a safety strap inside. The carrier weighs 2.25lbs and is suitable for pets up to 18lbs.
Next to the Mon Bon Chien Tote, there is also a RESCUE tote available. The RESCUE tote is white in colour with black contrast on bottom and handles, and includes a plush pillow and blankie in siberian tiger pattern.


There is "Mon Bon Chien" written on the front of the carrier and a cute dog pictures is printed unterneath.
  

The back has the same "Mon Bon Chien" writing on it, as well as a little bone picture. Also the Canvas Boat Tote has a patch pocket on the side measuring 5" x 7".
   

The carrier can be snap shut so it is completely closed.
   


 The Canvas Boat Tote includes a silk feel fashion scarf that can be taken off and can be worn!
   

Here are some pictures of Rocky being in the carrier:
  

 Review: I really like the Canavas Boat Tote. It is really light in weight so it is very easy to carry without adding a lot of extra weight to your dog's weight. I think the colour combination is great, as well as all the little details (blanket, pillow, scarf, etc.). The plush pillow and soft blankie are a very nice addition to the tote and make a ride in the tote very comfortable for the dog. Furthermore, I think the scarf feature is very neat and a great idea! Pet Flys have also thought about safety and thus the safety strap secures the dog while being in the tote, which I find especially important.
The Canvas Boat Tote has a great size to take along and Rocky has a lot of space to comfortably lay down in it. I am once again very impressed about all the extra details which shows how much thought Pet Flys puts into their designs.


 
Hammie and Hottie toys


The Hamie and Hottie knitknacks are handmade organic cotton crochet toys. They are a little hot dog and hamburger, and due  to their small size they are perfect for small dogs.

Hammie

Review: I think it's great that these toys are made out of organic cotton and they are perfect for small dogs like Rocky. Also I think it's a fun idea to have a little hot dog and hamburger as dog toys. As they are small they can be easily taken along in a carrier.
Rocky also absolutely loves them and straight away wanted to play! The squeakers inside made them extra special for him as he loves sqeaking toys.


 
Overall review

I am very happy with all the Pet Flys products we got. I have to mention that I am overwhelmed by the good quality of all the products. For me, Pet Flys is one of the best quality pet brands on the current market!
I especially like the amount of detail and love Pet Flys puts into their designs as their products are not only stylish but also very functional and perfect for everyday use.
