About Wag-A-Tude

"Having run our pet accessories business at Rich and Robin for over 5 years, we began to realise there was a gap in the market when it came to pet ID tags. While there are lots of varieties out there, they're all rather limited in their engraving and design possibilities.

   

They wanted to bring that something different, something more resilient to wear and tear for dogs, something that stood out from the crowd and something that let customers have more control over the design of their pet ID tag. Just because they have to be worn by law, it doesn't mean ID tags have to be boring! After lots of research, testing and designing they were ready to launch Wag-A-Tude - Tags With Attitude.

    

Using a special process, designs are infused on the ID tag permanently, meaning they won't fade or become unreadable. Not only can they be worn by cats and dogs, but they're also perfect for use as luggage tags, bag tags and more."

Wag-A-Tude "Create your own" Tag

Wag-A-Tude allows you to "create your own" pet tags by uploading your own image or graphics.

1. Choose your tag size
2. Click browse and select the image/photo you'd like to upload
3. Tick that you understand the approval process (explained at number 6.)
4. Add your personalised text to the reverse of your tag
5. Click "add to cart" - this will add your photo to your order
6.  An email will be send to you as proof before your order is processed to ensure that you are happy with how the image looks on your tag

   
All tags are made from a strong recycled steel core and are coated in a high quality polymer that infuses the images permanently to the pet tag, ensuring a high quality and long lasting finish. 

There are 2 size choices available; Small (0.875" / 22mm) and Large (1.25" / 32mm).

Furthermore, Wag-A-Tude offer a clear lifetime guarantee and compelely free delivery worldwide, whether 1 or 10 tags are ordered!

Each tag holds up to 5 lines and up to 20 characters per line. 

We have decided to add our dog's name; Rocky, 2 cell phone numbers (which I have made illegible), and "I'M CHIPPED". 

Each pet ID tag includes a split ring so it can be easily attached to a collar or harness.

Review: I am very happy with my own created Pet ID Tag. It looks great, has a very shiny and clear finish, and the writing on the back is clearly readable. The size is also perfect for Rocky as it's not too big, but still big enough to have a lot of information on the back.
I think it's also great that Wag-A-Tude offer a lifetime guarantee on their tags and offer free worldwide delivery. I have to mention that the delivery was very quick! It is also a great service that Wag-A-Tude will contact you first so see whether you like the positioning of your image on the ID tag (for own created ID tags) before they will create the tag. Thus, you can still make adjustments if necessary.
I really like that you can create your own pet ID tags, but in case you don't want to create your own, Wag-A-Tude also have a great variety of already designed pet tags.
The only thing that I didn't like was that I found the split ring quite big for such a small tag.
I am however overall very happy with the pet tag.

Review:  Overall I am very satisfied with the Wanda Collar and the Wanda Adjustable Leash.
The Wanda Collar has a nice colour combination. The chocolate brown fits well together with the turquoise logo pendant. The fabrication is superb and I especially like all the little details such as the reflective elements, the logo pendant, the extra D-Ring and the imprinted logo on the buckle. Furthermore, I really like that the collar is padded with neoprene which makes it very soft and it is thus comfortable to wear. In addition, it is adjustable via velcro which I have so far not seen anywhere else. So, I am competely satisfied with the collar.
The Wanda Adjustable leash is also made out of a nice chocolate brown colour. I especially like the reflective seams which provide extra safety in the dark. I think the sturdy snap hooks are particularly great which also look very modern. Even though I usually prefer wider leashes, I am not too bothered about this leash being quite thin as she is a bit thicker due to being padded with neoprene. Due to the neoprene the leash lies well in the hand and is very soft. The only thing I find a pity is that the D-rings on the leash are a bit too big/wide for this thin leash and I would have prefered thinner D-rings, for both the looks and the use. Good however is that the leash has three adjustment settings and I usually prefer adjustable leashes. Thus, I can individually choose how long I want to the leash to be for specific situations.
I think it's great that the Collar, as well as the Adjustable Leash are quite insensitive to dirt and are very easy to clean as they are water resistant and fast-drying. Hence, they are resistant to wind and water.
I would also like to mention that BELLOMANIA donates a part of the sale of products made from vegan leather to the animal welfare PETA for the prevention of animal cruelty. I think this is very exemplary and a really good thing.
How did Rocky like the Collar and the Adjustable Leash? - Even though Rocky is not a big fan of collars he seemed to find the BELLOMANIA collar quite ok. It has the perfect size for Rocky and is very nicely padded.

All in all, I am quite satisfied with the BELLOMANIA Wanda Collar and the Wanda Adjustable Leash.

Lola Santoro

Lola Santoro - beds for pets

Rocky has received his Lola Santoro bed which came in a big box with pink ribbon and included Rocky's name on the address!
 

  
About the Lola Santoro Atelier

www.lolasantoro.com

Lola Santoro is an atelier from Warsaw/Poland who create dog and cat beds.
The atelier is owned by Ewa Defitowska who is a very passionate dog owner. In order to help dogs in need, a percentage of every sold pet bed is given to charity and Ewa has rescued a few old dogs from a shelter herself. As Ewa is an interor designer, she always missed pet beds that are in harmony with stylish and fashionable interior design. Thus, the concept of creating decorative pet beds was born.

The name Lola Santoro was chosen because in 2002 Ewa's daughter Magdalena and her boyfriend Salvatore Santoro rescued a puppy from a pizzeria owner in Genoa/Italy who no longer wanted her. Salvatore called her Lola and they became inseperable. Tragically, in 2005 Salvatore died in a car crash and therefore Ewa gave Lola a new home. In honour of Salvatore and due to his insaparability to Lola, Ewa chose to call her atelier "Lola Santoro". Thus, Salvatore lives on in the atelier name.

The Lola Santoro Atelier is a part of Ewa's home which means that her dogs are able to go to work with her and even test the pet beds. Thus, Lola Santoro is a home based atelier and by no means comparable with any mass production factories. Hence, the pet beds are only made upon request, are handmade with care and smell pleasurable without having any chemical odours. For Ewa, loving pets is very important and one of the main criteria to be able to work with her.

Lola Santoro create extraordinary pet beds you won't find anywhere else. The luxurious beds are made out of ecological fur and noble details such as stones, tassels and/or Swarovski crystals. All beds are handmade with extra attention to detail. If you cannot find what you are looking for or want a pet bed that no one else has, Lola Santoro will create your unique pet bed as a special order. They have already created many unique pet beds for celebrities, photo shoots and special events.

Additionally, Lola Santoro have just opened their new Facebook Shop in order to make it easy for customers from all over the world to purchase Lola Santoro pet beds.

   

The Lola Santoro Atelier has pertinently chosen their motto to be:
"We don't just make beds - we create dreams."
     
    
     

           
The Lola Santoro Glam Gothic Black Bed
   

The Glam Gothic Bed made by Lola Santoro is a beautiful handmade bed in black with long fox faux fur and black snake imitation bottom. This quality bed is manufactured in Poland. All decorative elements are safe for every pet and easily removable for washing and cleaning. The bed is also machine washable at 30°C degrees or 86 F. Brushing is recommended after washing.
The bed is available in 3 sizes; Small (50cm x 45cm x 20cm), Medium (55cm x 45cm x 20cm) and Large (60cm x 50cm x 20cm).

Every bed comes with a Lola Santoro tag including a small limited edition designer Swarovski crystal, which at the moment is a Swarovski heart crystal, of which the complete profit goes to charity for dogs in need.

 It is decorated with a detachable silver steel chain and ......

....... a snake imitation pillow with a Swarovski skull application.

  
The pillow measures about 28cm x 12cm x 6cm.
 

All beds have the Lola Santoro brand name inprinted on the backside.

In addition, each bed comes with a dust label bag.

 

Here are some pictures of Rocky in his medium-sized Lola Santoro - Glam Gothic Black bed:

Review: I absolutely like the Glam Gothic Black bed made by Lola Santoro. The medium bed is a great size as Rocky fits into it perfectly but still has a good amount of space.
I also like the extra attention to detail such as the bottom being made out of black snake imitation fabric, the little pillow with Swarovski elements, the silver steel chain, the imprinted logo on the backside and the tag including a little Swarovski heart crystal.This shows how much care Lola Santoro puts into making pet beds.
I think it's great how original all the Lola Santoro beds are and I have never seen pet beds quite like them. They are extraordinary and fashionable, but yet comfortable and functional as all decorative elements can be removed and the bed can hence be easily washed and cleaned.
Each bed also comes with a dust label back which I think is very useful as it keeps the bed clean and safe during transit, but can also be used if the bed is stored away in order to pretect it from dust and dirt.
Rocky straight away laid down in the bed and got comfy in it. Due to the long fox faux fur, the bed is very soft which I think Rocky really liked.
So the bed is definitely Rocky-approved!
 
  
 
Overall Review
  
Overall, I think Lola Santoro is a great atelier. Ewa is very passionate about pets and this is reflected throughout her work. The Lola Santoro Atelier is not just a business for her, but rather Ewa puts her whole heart into her Atelier. I was very impressed when I saw that next to my name, Rocky's name was written on the package as a recipient, which again shows how much heart Ewa puts into her work and that each individual customer and their little fur friend is important!
 I have to mention that the contact with Ewa has been very nice. She is a wonderful woman who is very passionate about her dogs and tries her best to help dogs in shelters by contributing a percentage of sold beds to charities and by rescuing older dogs herself. She also donates all of the profit made from the limited edition Swarovski crystals that are attached to the Lola Santoro tags. Furthermore, it is very important for her that her dogs are able to be at work with her and I think it's great that she combines her work (creating pet beds) with her passion (pets/dogs).
Moreover, delivery was very quick considering the pet bed came from Poland, which I think is a great service.
Another great service that Lola Santoro have just established is their newly opened facebook shop; Lola Santoro Facebook Shop. I think it's great that this will make it easier for people from all around the world to be able to purchase one of the decorative Lola Santoro beds.
Overall, Lola Santoro is a great atelier, with an owner who is dedicated to pets, as well as high-quality pet beds which are not only unique and fashionable, but also functional and economic.
