"The Lovesniffys Ethos

Lovesniffys belive in the nutritional benefits to your dog of products made from fresh produce. S0 this is what they use. They cook all their products for a very brief time before dehydrating them naturally to lock in as much of their raw goodness as possible.

With pet obesity on the rise, whilst they do not advocate an exclusively low fat diet for dogs, they do think that treats and complementary foodstuffs should remain tasty and nutritous whilst adding as little fat as possible to their complete diet. All of their products contain less than 5% fat and any oil added is used exclusively for its health benefits.

They also belive that the nutriton of our pets should not come at the expense of the other animal's welfare. In their new range Minty Pea-Nut remains Animal By Product free whilst their Carrot Crunch and Apple and Ginger Sticks contain only animal rennet-free cheese made by only Soil Association certified farmers.

They know that healty, active dogs are the happiest and at all times they strive to provide the freshest and most nutritious products for them. To that end everyone at Lovesniffys take their responsibilities to all their customers, both dogs and people, extremely seriously."

Lovesniffys Dog Treats

"All of the Lovesniffys Dog Treats have less than 5% fat and are handmade by the Lovesniffys Team with only the feshest ingredients, then air dried to make sure all the goodness stays locked in.

Everything they produce is Gluten Free as well as Hypoallergenic. The Lovesniffys Team even eat dig biscuits themselves, so they are personally tested in order to ensure that they are good enough for our dogs.

All of the Lovesniffys treats have absolutely no artificial colours, flavours or preservatives.

Their bites are also all vegetarian, use no animal by products and almost entirely British grown.

Lovesniffys love dogs and do not believe that their products should be made at the expense of other animal's welfare either."

Review

   

As Rocky is used to meaty treats instead of vegetarian treats he was at first not too convinced. After a few minutes inspecting them, he however eat them and seemed to like them! 

Even though I think all dogs are carnivores and thus should eat meat, I still think these vegetarian treats are a great change. 

 I would not feed Rocky a complete vegetarian diet as I think that is not species-approproiate, but I don't at all mind feeding Rocky vegetarian treats as I think vegetables are very healthy for dogs and he absolutley loves cheese. I also think the vegetarian treats are a great variety to his usual treats and he did definitely like them.

These treats are also great for dogs that are allergic to specific types of meat (i.e. Rocky is allergic to beef). As some cheaper treats do not actually state all it's meat components, dog owners are often left unsure about what types of meat are contained in treats. Thus, in order to avoid that the dog has an allergic reactions the Lovesniffy vegetarian treats are a perfect alternative - meat free!

8in1 Delights Selection

8in1 Delights Selection

The 8in1 Delights assortment includes 15 Delights and Sticks; 3x Delights Chicken, 2x Delights Sticks Chicken, 2x Delights Strong Chicken, 3x Delights Beef, 2x Delights Sticks Beef, 3x Delights Dental.

   

    
  

Delights Chicken

Ingredients: Meat and animal derivatives (chicken 10%), minerals.

Analytical Constituents: Crude protein 82%, crude oil and -fat 2%, crude fibre 1%, crude ash 2%, moisture 14%.

Reviews: Rocky really liked the Delights Chicken Bones and had to make an effort in order to get the Chicken out. Thus, he was busy with the bone for quite some time.
I think the 8in1 Delights Chicken Bones are great as Rocky really seems to like them and they will keep him busy for a while.

 
   
       

Delights Sticks Chicken

Ingredients: Meat and animal derivatives (chicken 10%), minerals.

Analytical Constituents: Crude protein 82%, crude oil and -fat 2%, crude fibre 1%, crude ash 2%, moisture 14%.
  

Review: Rocky seemed to really liked the Delights Sticks Chicken as they have a nice size for him to hold and chew on. He however really quickly figured out how to get out the pieces of chicken without having to chew on the rawhide. So once Rocky ate all the chicken he simply left the rawhide roll untouched.
Therefore, I would prefer if there would be a layer of chicken completely rolled up in the rawhide rather than just a bit of chicken stuck at the end.

 
   

 

Delights Strong Chicken

Ingredients: Meat and animal derivatives (chicken 10%), minerals.

Analytical Constituents: Crude protein 82%, crude oil and -fat 2%, crude fibre 1%, crude ash 2%, moisture 14%.

Review: Even though Rocky liked the Delights Strong Chicken Bones I have to say taht I was a bit disappointed about them. Rocky really quickly figured out how to easily and without any effort get the Chicken out of the upper layer of the Bone. Thus, he was done with the Delights Strong Chicken Bone within seconds, only picked out the chicken and left the rest untouched. I think this is such a shame.

   
    

 

Delights Beef

Ingredients: Meat and animal derivatives (beef 10%), minerals.

Analytical Constituents: Crude protein 82%, crude oil and -fat 3.5%, crude fibre 1%, crude ash 2%, moisture 14%.

Review: Even though Rocky was very keen about this bone shape with chicken he was not too interested in this bone with beef. He did chew on the bone a few times but then left it lay around without touching it again.
  

 

  

Deights Sticks Beef

Ingredients: Meat and animal derivatives (beef 10%), minerals.

Analytical Constituents: Crude protein 82%, crude oil and -fat 3.5%, crude fibre 1%, crude ash 2%, moisture 14%.

Review: I think that the Delight Sticks are Rocky's favourites. He liked to chew on this bone for a long time. Furthermore he seems to really like the beef and the size of the sticks is also perfect.

 

 
  

Delights Dental

Ingredients: Meat and animal derivatives (chicken 10%), minerals.

Analytical Constituents: Crude protein 82%, crude oil and -fat 2%, crude fibre 1%, crude ash 2%, moisture 14%.
  

Review: Rocky really liked the Delights Dental and took the time to pleasurably chew on the bone. I can't however tell if these bones really help the dental hygiene.

About Pfote und Leder

www.pfote-und-leder.de

  

"Diana Gloe is the owner of Pfote und Leder and crafts individual Leather Collars and Leads for dogs.

Diana Gloe was born in 1976 in Coesfeld (Germany), is the mother of two girls and a loving wife.
She is living with her family and her animals in the beautiful Münsterland, to be specific in Billerbeck, a nice place on the brink to the Baumberge.
Two own dogs as well as one foster dog of the El Refugio Casas Ibanez are living with her.

Dogs have accompanied Diana Gloe all her life and always had a great importance.
So it was likely that she would eventually deal with this topic professionally.
As she was beforehand crafting leather items for herself, she started selling them for the animal welfare.
It became more and more and thus she decided to share her creations with other people.
Thus, the idea arose to become self-employed.

The animal welfare is an important part in Diana Gloe's life, thus she decided to donate 1.50€ of every odered item to the Refugio Casas Ibanez e.V..
Likewise she continually crafts products which are then sold by the animal welfare association.

Next to her leather works, Diana Gloe also offers a dog-walking service.
All offered items by Pfote und Leder are handmade and made out of the best materials. Every model was tested extensively by her dogs and foster dogs. Thus, the safety of the products can be guaranteed."

Collar Krümel

  

Description of the Collar Krümel: "Choke-stop Collar are put on quicker and offer a high wearing comfort for the dog.
Due to the stop, this Collar is choke-free. Is it correctly measured, your dog won't be able to slip out of the Collar.
Beads or rhinestones can be plaited into the Collar.
Beads that are used are salivaproof and attached with a sturdy string. The metal fittings are all of high quality and either made out of stainless stell or brass.

Oiled Leather is flexible which is why the dog's neck circumference should be measured directly behind the ears so that the leather can still stretch. Should the dog not pull on the Lead, the neck circumference should be measured with a fingerbreadth space.
For dogs with big heads or stong ears, the measurement of the head circumference at the widest point should be given in addition.
As all products are only exclusively crafted after they are ordered, it can take up to 10 days until it is send. The individuality of the product will convince despite the wait."

The Collar Krümel is available in brown or black leather.

We have chosen the Collar Krümel in brown with stainless steel metal fittings:

   

  

Rocky with his Collar Krümel in brown by Pfote und Leder:

 

Review: I am more than happy with the Collar Krümel. It is completely plaited with a lot of effort and love which is extra difficult for a Collar in Rocky's size. The Collar Krümel is a choke-stop Collar which I especially like for vet visits as our vet prefers to examine Rocky while being "naked" (meaning without a Collar or Harness on). Thus, the Collar is quickly pulled over the head. Even though I generally don't use Collars on walks, but Harnesses instead, I still think the choke-stop Collar Krümel is very functional and very convenient in specific situations.
Next to it's functionality, I think the Collar is also very chic. The plaited Leather looks very noble and expensive.
 

    

    

Lead Olli

   

Description of the Lead Olli: "Three-way adjustable Lead made out of Oiled Leather. Total length about 240cm.
Available Lead widths are 8mm, 10mm, 12mm, 14mm or 16mm.
This Lead will accompany you a dog life long.
The Lead lays good in the hand due to the soft and pleasant Oiled Leather and the adjustability makes it an allround-talent. You will love this lead.

The plaited ends can be decorated with beads or rhinestones.
Likewise you can choose what length and width the Lead should have.
It is available in black or brown with brass or stainless stell metal fittings."

(Source: www.pfote-und-leder.de/epages/64315985.sf/de_DE/?ObjectPath=/Shops/64315985/Products/1051 Translated by me)

We have chosen the Lead Olli, matching to the Collar Krümel, in brown with stainless steel metal fittings and in the width 8mm:
 

   

  

Rocky with his Lead Olli by Pfote und Leder:

 

Review: I love the Lead Olli. I am an absolute fan of adjustable leads as they are very convenient in any situation. Furthermore, the Oiled Leather is super soft and adjusts well to the hand. The size is perfectly suitable for Rocky and I generally prefer thinner Leads so that you don't have to hold on to too much. I especially like the small snap hooks are plaited in and not riveted. This makes the Lead more study and looks more noble.

Overall review

I am absolutely enthused about the Oiled Leather products by Pfote und Leder. The workmanship is outstanding! The Collar and the Lead are crafted with a lot of effort, love and patience and you can easily see that. The Oiled Leather is of high quality and smells very pleasant like leather. I especially like that individual customer requests are considered and thus makes every Collar and Lead a unicum.
I moreover this that it is very praiseworthy that 1.50€ of every sold item is donated to the Refugio Casas Ibanez e.V.. Thus, one does not only buy a great, high quality product, but also one does something good for the animal welfare.
Overall, I can absolutely recommend the products by Pfote und Leder!
