Rocky in his Scruffs Wilton Pet Carrier:

Review: Rocky loves carriers. I have been taking him with me wherever possible since he was a puppy which included airplane travels, so Rocky is very much used to carriers. He feels safe and secure in them and even sleeps in them when at home. He immediately jumped into the Wilton Pet Carrier when I unpacked it and I had a difficult time getting him out of it again. He seems to feel very comfortable in it as he is even laying inside it when at home now, rather than his bed.
I really like the Wilton Pet Carrier as it is of good quality and because Rocky loves it. The inside is super soft to touch so I can understand why Rocky is so comfortable in it.
I also like the convenient fold out water bowl which is attached to the carrier.
I would not really want to zip up the carrier as I think Rocky is then a bit cramped in it, but I like having the option to do so. It is also very versatile as it can be used as a carry on pet bed. Rocky loves being in it whether we are out and about or just at home.
Overall a great dog carrier.



Cool Mat

Decription of the Scruffs Cool Mat: "Many pets can suffer from the heat during hot summer months. The Scruffs® Cool Dog Mat is designed to provide relief for pets. Filled with a non-toxic gel the self-cooling mat will be typically 5-10 degrees cooler than room temperature. 

When in use, the mat will maintain its cooling properties for approximately 1hr depending upon the environment. To reset the mats cooling properties simply leave unused for 1hr, there is no need to freeze or refrigerate. 

The Scruffs® Cool Mat can be used alone, with an existing pet bed or in a pet carrier. To clean the mat simply wipe the cover with a cloth and soapy water, then rinse with clean water before use. Available in four sizes, including x-large, the Scruffs Cool Mat is great for dogs that like to sprawl.

The Scruffs Cool Mat is available in 4 different sizes; Small (50 x 40cm), Medium (77 x 62cm), Large (92 x 69cm) and X-Large (120 x 75cm)."

We have a Scruffs Cool Mat in size Small for Rocky.

Review: Rocky usually loves summer and when it's warm outside. However, we had a few days in summer this year that were so hot that even he struggled. A cool mat is great for those hot days as the mat comfortable to lay on and naturally cools while not being too cold.
I think the cool mat would also be great in the car, especially for cars without air conditioning (Note; dogs should NEVER be left in the car on warm/ hot days, not even with a cool mat inside).
I especially like that this cool mat does not have to be gefrigerated or put in the freezer.

About Jack Russell Malletier

     

www.jrmalletier.com

    

"The french company, Jack Russell Malletier (JRM), was established in 2008, and is the proud & modern heritage of the great luggage makers of the 19th century.

From its origin, the famous & cute Jack Russell puppy is the emblem of the brand. Originating in the early 19th century from dogs bred and used by Reverend John Russell. The Jack Russell is an energetic breed which relies on a high level of exercise and stimulation, and is relatively free from serious health complaints…Originally bred to bolt fox from their dens during hunts, they are used on numerous ground-dwelling quarry such as groundhog, badger, and red and grey fox.
Jack Russells have appeared many times in film, television and print with several historical dogs of note.
More recently the famous Jack Russell ”Uggie” is notably cast the movie” The Artist” in 2011.

Esthetically, JRM marries the traditions and codes of the luggage makers and fashion. The trunk is the central element of the JRM concept. Made for travel or for housing, the JRM trunk is chic and practical. Its distinctive craftsmanship and unique palette of colors will seduce the most demanding connoisseurs of fine luggage. The JRM trunks can also be used for storage to respond to the constraints of restricted space.
Based on this unique concept, the wide range of bags for Men and Women (and their pets) is dedicated for the most sophisticated people either for holidays or for a day-to-day use. It is with these demanding quality requirements that JRM has developed designing luggage and bags that are elegant and practical. By focusing on quality, efficiency and lightweight to become a recognized label for contemporary travelers, JRM is definitely a trunk maker for modern times.
Coated canvas and leather trimmings, soft Italian leather, French nubuck, Italian croco embossed leather and more recently the famous Saffiano Italian leather are the favorite materials of the brand, with the fetish Puppy “Jack Russell” printed in the cotton lining and/or the recognizable blue/white stripe now distinctive to each JRM bag.
As its historical predecessors, a special service of personalization is available for the leather lines with the manual applying of the client’s initials, the famous monogram.
JRM Paris is the luxury contemporary brand."

Review: At first sight I immediately fell in love with the Jack Russell Malletier 'The Artist' - Pet Carrier. I absolutely love the colouring as it looks very noble. I also really like all the other colour choices, but the chocolate and natural coloured 'The Artist' - Pet Carrier was just the perfect one for us. Moreover, I especially like all the details of the Pet Carrier such as the imprinted J.R.M. logos on the metal parts and the front of the carrier, the natural leather trim, as well as the cute Jack Russell Puppy pattern cotton lining inside. Furthermore, the Pet Carrier is very comfortable to carry by hand, over the arm or over the shoulder via the detachable and adjustable shoulder strap with my favourite way of carrying it over the arm. Also, I think it is very good, that a safety strip is inside the Pet Carrier in order to secure the pet so that they are unable to jump out of the Pet Carrier by surprise. The board for the pet to sit or lay on is a bit soft which is why Jack Russell Malletier is replacing them with stronger carbon plates in future.
As Rocky usually really enjoys being in a Pet Carrier as they are his little "secure spot" and he knows he is able to come with us, he immediately liked the carrier and made himself comfortable inside. He will happily jump inside in order to come along and due to the windows he is able to wach out. I really like that the windows can be closed via rollos which are hold in place with invisible magnets so Rocky can have some privacy if needed.
The delivery from France was also very quick and easy, especially as I could follow the status updates of my parcel online.
Overall, I absolutely love the Jack Russell Malletier 'The Artist' - Pet Carrier. It is of very high quality and looks great, so even though not cheap it is worth the money. Due to it's noble look it can also easily be used by myself and not just as a Pet Carrier.
