Pet+Me Brush
They change the way you and your pet feel about grooming!


Description of the Pet + Me Brush: "The Multi Functional & Species Specific 100% Silicone Brush was developed by experienced specialist in Switzerland to be the least invasive, most durable and effective wellness grooming product on the market for both dogs and cats.
  • Cleans, Grooms and Massages
  • Excellent for removing lint or hair from upholstery
  • Machine washable brushes and remain as good as new
  • Lifetime guarantee"

The knobbed/massage side of Pet+Me is:
  • For optimal hair and scale removal - If the upper layer of excess sebum dries and hardens (produced by sebaceous glands at the hair roots), the scale forms an unpleasant smelling layer which creates an irritating itch causing the dog to scratch
  • Species Specific -  For even the most delicate pets who have long-hair.
  

The fine side of Pet+Me is:
  • Wet or Dry - It removes dead and loose hair, and it is ideal for bathing as it glides easily through the coat when wet, creating a magnet effect for hair removal.
  • Excellent for removing lint and even the shortest hair from upholstery, carpets and fabric.
  

Safe, Effective & Simple to Clean
  • Made from 100% high quality silicone - safe, soft, compeltely free of harmful chemicals and metal parts. Extremely effective in removing fur and scales, but yet very flexible to ensure kindness to sensitive skin and soft areas around the eyes and mouth."

The Pet+Me Brush is available in 4 different types; Dog Longhair Brush, Dog Shorthair Brush, Cat Longhair Brush and Cat Shorthair Brush.

We have a Pet+Me Dog Shorthair Brush for Rocky.

This side is deep cleaning and massaging the dog.

This side is removing loose dog hair not only from the dog but also from furniture and clothes.

 
Rocky is getting brushed with the Pet+Me Brush for Shortcoat Dogs:


Review: I am very happy with the Pet+Me Brush. It is easy to use, as well as easy to clean which is brilliant. I also like that this brush is usable from both sides as one side is cleaning and massaging the dog, whilst the other side is removing loose dog hair; not only from the dog but also from clothing, upholstery, car seats, etc.
Rocky seemed to have enjoyed getting brushed as well. He is usually quite annoyed when being brushed, but really seemd to like getting massaged with this brush.
 
 
   
Flectabed-Q


Description of the Flectabed-Q: "The Flectabed inner quilt combines two key elements of thermal insulation to keep dogs exceptionally warm all year round.
Mutli-layered fibres trap pockets of warm air to reduce heat loss, and reflective surfaces reflecting any lost body heat back to the pet. The outer fleece cover is strong and moisture passes through it easily, so wet or damp pets are still effectively insulated from chills.
The bed includes a fleece cover.

It is available in 4 sizes; Size 1 (18" x 14"), Size 2 (26" x 20"), Size 3 (37" x 28"), and Size 4 (50" x 30").
It is also availabale in 2 colour choices; Cream and Brown."

We have a Flectabed-Q in Size 1 and Cream for Rocky.


The quilted cover is removable via velcro for easy washing.


A Petlife Logo is sewn onto the outside.

Review: The Flectabed-Q is a really nice dog bedding. It is very cushiony and the outer cover is very soft. I think it's great that the inner cushion is removable via velcro in order to easily clean the bed. I especially like that due to its unique insulating qualities the bed will keep Rocky warm all year round and even when wet.
Rocky seemed very cosy when laying on the bed.
 
 
 
Vetbed Original - Oval
The Original Vetbed as recommended by Vets


Description of the Vetbed Original: "A hard-wearing, everyday bed with unique properties suitbale for dogs at all life stages.
Younger Animals: Keeping them safe and warm, the specialy drainage properties ensure they stay dry and warm even in the event of an accident.
Recumbent Animals: Vets recommend the product to recumbent animals requiring hospitalisation or pre/ post operative care.
Birth Stage: Keeps the mother and baby warm and dry whilst retaining body heat, and reducing the risk of hypothermia. The texture gives comfort and security and encourages mobility in the younger by aiding grip.

Vetbeds's higher bulk, greater resilience, unique drainage properties and superb heat retention makes it distinct from all other dog beds on the market.

All features of the Vetbed Original at one glance:
  • For all life stages
  • Hygienic, non-irritant and non-allergenic
  • Suitable for the home, kennels and travelling
  • Machine washable time after time
  • Excellent drainage properties
  • Keeps pets warm and cosy"

The Original Vetbeds are available in different shapes and sizes.
Specifically the Vetbeds Orignal Oval are available in 10 different sizes; 15", 18", 21", 24", 26", 27", 30" 33", 35" and 40", as well as in 7 different colours; white, grey, mink, green, brown, pink and stripes.

We have an Original Vetbed in Oval, size 18" and grey.

Review: Even though I was a bit unsure about the Vetbed Original in the beginning as it seems difficult to clean I am now very happy with it. It in fact is machine washable which is brilliant. It is very fluffy so Rocky is very cosy in it. I also like that it fits perfectly into Rocky's already existing plastic dog bed so he will be even more cosy in the bed now.
Rocky really enjoys having this soft Vetbed Original in his plastic bed and seems to be similarly excited as I am.
