About LEGITIMUTT

| www.legitimutt.com |
"LEGITIMUTT
was created by supermodel Kristy Hinze Clark. Kristy joined forces with
longtime manager, and friend, Neal Hamil, to launch the brand which
designs and manufactures luxury products for dogs.
Kristy, who became the youngest model to sign a contract with Australian Vogue, and later became host Project Runway Australia, has taken her experience and knowledge from her years on the runway and in the fashion industry, and has focused her attention on overseeing the creative and business aspects of the brand. She looks for, “big trends that will translate well with the line, which ranges from winter coats, stylish puffer jackets, warm weather polos, to custom made collars.” Kristy realizes how large the luxury dog market has become, and is setting her product apart from the competition by manufacturing all of the LEGITIMUTT products here in America. LEGITIMUTT has landed in Miami’s chic Design District with a luxury boutique where pooches from all over the city can shop for the brand’s newest designs. LEGITIMUTT is also committed to helping shelters find good homes for all future LEGITIMUTT-wearers.
The real stars and faces of the brand are Kristy’s three schnauzers, their names pay homage to Hollywood greats: Brando (as in Marlon) and his sister Ava (as in Gardner) both three-years-old, and Ava’s one-year-old son Elwood (as in the Blues Brother).
"The love of and from my dog opened my heart as never before about the importance of the animal world. Quite unexpectedly I developed an almost irrational devotion to animals and their protection and humane treatment. It is my truest passion and my dog and all the dogs in my life and, in fact, all dogs everywhere, are supremely important to me as they are such beautiful, loving, loyal, cognitive beings. Together with my best friend, Kristy, who loves dog and animals as I do, we formed LEGITIMUTT as a labor love and we have had an absolute blast in doing so. Being that we're from and of the fashion world we wanted to bring these great products to market to make every mutt a LegitiMutt!! I hope you like what we've done thus far and hope you'll support us as we bring many more cool products to market," says Neal Hamil.
LEGITIMUTT provides luxurious and glamorous products that reflect the high-flying life of celebrity pets while still maintaining an affordable appeal. Every dog will want to be a LEGITIMUTT!"

Rocky wearing his LEGITIMUTT Gatsby Quilted Dog Coat:
Review: Even though Rocky does not really wear coats, I think that this is a really good dog coat. The LEGITIMUTT Gatsy Quilted Dog Coat looks very nice and is in addition super functional without any unnecessary knick-knacks!
Due to being quilted, the coat is very thick and will keep every dog super warm during winter. It's great that the coat is securely closed using hook closures, as well as felcro at the front. Thus, the coat sits very nice and snug on the dog. Also, the D-Ring allows for a leash or an ID tag to be attached which I think is absolutely great. Usually coats require a collar or a harness to be placed over the coat in order to walk a dog on a leash. However, as a leash can be directly attached to the coat no extra collar or harness will be required which I think is brilliant!
Although
Rocky was not too happy about the coat at first, I think he will get
used to it very quickly and will appreciate it in winter.
LEGITIMUTT Raincoat
Description of the LEGITIMUTT Raincoat: "Inspired by equestrian stable coats, the LEGITIMUTT Raincoat turns a rainy day into a fashion show. Designed with denim fabric, neon webbing and lining, and clear vinyl, this waterproof coat is a gorgeous solution for soggy weather. High fashion has truly gone to the dogs."
Rocky has the neon yellow LEGITIMUTT Raincoat in size XS.
It can be completely opened, is waterproof and will therefore keep your dog dry on rainy days.
The Raincoat has a small LEGITIMUTT logo on the inside.
As well as a small LEGITIMUTT logo on the outside.
Next to the velcro and hook closure on the front, there is also a hook closure with adjustable belt strap that closes around the chest.
Additionally, the raincoat has two D-Rings at the back where a leash and/or an ID tag can be attached to.
Rocky wearing his LEGITIMUTT Raincoat:
Review: I think it's good that this Raincoat will keep your dog dry during rainy days and thus being very functional without having any unnecessary knick-knacks!
I also like the double D-Rings on the back a leash and/or an ID tag can be attached to. The material is waterproof so the coat is well suitable for rainy or simply wet days. The bright yellow makes the dog also very visible.
The only thing I am missing about the raincoat is the double belly strap. Due to only having one belly strap the back of the raincoat sticks out which is such a great pity.
Rocky was again not too keen about wearing a coat which I think is mostly due to him not being used to wearing any.
LEGITIMUTT Tennis Ball Toy with Rope
Descritpion of the LEGITIMUTT Tennis Ball Toy with Rope: "Extra thick Tennis Ball Toy with Handle. Perfect for throwing or tugging."
Rocky playing with his LEGITIMUTT Tennis Ball Toy with Rope:
Review: The Tennis Ball Toy with Rope is a brillaint toy and Rocky had great fun playing with it!
Although I would assume that this toy is better suited for dog breeds bigger than Rocky due to the rather large tennis ball, I think Rocky still liked it. He simply played with the rope instead and had a lot of fun. Great toy!
LEGITIMUTT Scooping Dog Bowl
Description of the LEGITIMUTT Scooping Dog Bowl: "Ergonomically designed for easy scooping and feeding, this handy LEGITIMUTT bowl is a must have.
- 6.5 inches wide x 1.5 inches deep
- Made of high-quaility polypropylene
- Dishwasher safe
- Durable, chew resistant"
The LEGITIMUTT Scooping Dog Bowl has a handle on the side, as well as a LEGITIMUTT Logo on the front.
Rocky eating from his LEGITIMUTT Scooping Dog Bowl:
Review: The LEGITIMUTT Scooping Dog Bowl is a nice little dog bowl. It is the perfect size for Rocky, as it's neither to big nor to small.
The handle on the side is perfect to scoop some dry food out of a container and it is also very easy to clean as it is dishwasher safe.
LEGITIMUTT Dog Treats
Description of the LEGITIMUTT Dog Treats: The LEGITIMUTT Dog Treats come in little bone shapes and each package includes 5 treats.
Rocky eating his LEGITIMUTT Dog Treat:
Review: Rocky really liked the LEGITIMUTT Dog Treats and immediately ate one.
I think it's nice that Rocky liked the LEGITIMUTT Dog Treats, however, I don't like that there was no ingredients list on the treats package. As some dogs might be allergic to certain ingredients I find it very important that an ingredients list is provided. Also, I personally prefer to know the composition of food or treats that I feed my dog.
Overall Review
I think that the LEGITIMUTT products are great and of good quality. I especially like that all LEGITIMUTT products are very funtional without having any unnecessary knick-knacks. Each products is 100% thought through about their function and design.
Delivery was also very quick via DHL considering it came all the way from Florida/USA.
So overall, I think that LEGITIMUTT is a great brand and well worth to check out!
