Review: Overall, I am very happy with the Sharples 'N' Grant Reflective Harness and Lead set. I like the bright colour which makes Rocky immediately visible even when it is not dark. At night the reflective stripes offer extra safety and make Rocky also visible in the dark.
I think the Harness is great. It is completely adjustable and can therefore be perfectly fitted on the dog. Furthermore, the buckles are super safe as they can be locked so they won't open unexpectedly. I also like the width of the harness as most harnesses in Rocky's size have webbing band that is way too thin. But the webbing band of the Walk'r'Cise Reflective Harness is just right.
The lead is also great. It has the perfect length for walking with Rocky at the street. It feels nice and soft to touch and also has reflective stripes so not only the dog but also the owner are safe at night. I would really like a 200cm lead in size Small as well which is unfortunately only available in Medium and Large. This is because the small Reflect'a'Lead is great for walking on the pavement in the city where the lead should be short, but is too short for walking in the park where the dog can have more freedom. Moreover, I think the snap hook of the small lead is still quite big for a "small" lead and a smaller snap hook would be ideal.
Overall, I am however super happy with the reflective Harness and Lead set as the colour is great and suits Rocky very well. Also, the whole set fits well and is of very good quality.

Freezack Travel Bowl


Description of the Freezack Travel Bowl: "The foldable and waterproof Travel Bowl is the ideal companion in the cara and away on travel.
The special internal coating lets water drip off faster so that the bowl dries quicker and no mould can be formed once the bowl is folded again.

The Travel Bowl is available in the colours red, black and grey, as well as in the sizes S (0.75L) and L (1.5L)."

 The Travel Bowl is kept folded via a press button. Thus, it is easily stowed away in a bag.

Review: The Freezack Travel Bowl is great. The size S is perfectly suitable for Rocky and I think it is fantastic that the special internal coating lets the Bowl dry faster. Especially if one is on the go and one wants to put the Travel Bowl in you trouser pockets or the jacket pocket, it is advantageous when the Bowl dries quicker and one thus not get wet trouser pockets or jacket pockets. I really like that the Bowl is made out of a soft fabric. It is very easily folded and the press button keeps the Bowl folded. Thus, it only takes up minimum space.
Rocky did not have any fear of contact with the Bowl and immedialtey got his food out of it. 
    
     
   
Freezack Softharness


Description of the Freezack Softharness: "The Softharnesses convince with their high quality and bright colours. When the dog is pulling the tensile load is distributed via the Harness over the whole chest and shoulder area of the dog. The sandwich-fabric guarantees a high wearing comfort. The plush tucks on the borders prevent fraying and unpleasant rubbing. The circular reflector stripes provide an optimum visibility at night.

Available colours are black, blue, red, grey, pink and lime.
Available sizes are XXXXS, XXXS, XXS, XS, S, M, L, XL, XXL."

   
We have a Freezack Softharness in the colour black and size S for Rocky.


The elastic insert reduces the pressure on the larynx during fast movements.

Review: Rocky and I already have gained a lot of experience with Softharnesses and thus we can honestly say that the Freezack Softharness is so far one of the best Softharnesses. It is super soft and cuddly, is easily adjusted to the chest circumference and is breathable. Furthermore, I especially like the elastic insert in the larynx area in order to protect it and the attached reflector stripes which offer an additional safety at night.
Rocky also seemed to feel comfortable and it fits him very well.
Moreover, there is a huge size range available of the Freezack Softharness. It is oftentimes difficult to find a good first Harness for small puppies, but Freezack offers exactly those mini-sizes for small puppies. Therefore, everyone will find a suitable Softharness for their dog at Freezack.
    
      
    
Freezack Yeti-Dog Coat


Description of the Freezack Yeti-Dog Coat: "The Winter Coat Yeti offers the perfect solution to keep the dog warm. The Coat is quickly put on and taken off. It has a soft warm lining which does not become charged and a waterproof outer material. Adjustable at the neck and waist and with the zipper on the top side, it is wearable in combination with a collar or harness. With reflective applications for a higher visibility.
The Yeti-Dog Coat is only available in the colour blac.
Available sizes (measured by the back length in cm) are 20, 22, 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 45 and 50."

The collar of the Yeti-Dog Coat kann either be rolled up...

... or kept up.


  
Review: Overall, I think the Freezack Yeti-Dog Coat is very good. I really like that it is waterproof and that the coat thus, keeps the dog try in rain and snow.
Furthermore, the soft inner lining keeps the dog warm. The zipper on the top side is especially convenient as also a harness can be worn unterneath the Dog Coat. Thus, the Yeti-Dog Coat can be combinated with the Freezack Softharness.
Even though the Dog Coat fits perfectly in regards to the back length and it also otherwise fits well, I think it has quite a wide cut at the shoulder which is a pitty. Otherwise it fits well.
    
   
     
Freezack Fleece Coat


Description of the Freezack Fleece Coat: "Due to the comfortable fit, the Freezack Fleece Coats are readily worn by puppies, small dogs and big dogs. They have a soft touch to the skin and are extremely light in weight. The Coats are adjustable at the neck and waist and have an elastic belly part.
Reflective applications ensure a higher visibility.

The Freezack Fleece Coat is available in the colours grey and orange.
Available sizes (measured by the back length in cm) are 20, 22, 25, 28, 32, 36, 40, 45 and 50."

 
 We have a Freezack Fleece Coat in the colour grey and size 28 for Rocky.





The Fleece Coat can be adjusted a the neck and waist.


Rocky wearing his Freezack Fleece Coat:





   
Review: The Freezack Fleece Coat is super soft. Furthermore, it is very light in weight and Rocky therefore wore it without any problems. Moreover, I think it is great that the Fleece Coat can be extra adjusted at the neck and waist area so that it has an optimum fit. Also, the reflective stripes offer extra safety at night.
Unfortunately, I think the sleeves of the Fleece Coat have a very wide cut and therefore are very loose, even though the size of the Fleece Coat otherwise fits well.
