Rocky laying on his Cosy Roll 80 travel blanket:
Review: I was looking for a smart on the go blanket for quite some time now which I would be able to easily take to the park with us and have now found it in the Maelson Cosy Roll 80.
I think it's great that this softly cushioned travel blanket can be turned into a bag so it's easy to carry along while outside. Furthermore, it's even better that I can stow away Rocky's water bottle, travel bowl and leash in the bag when going to the park. Thus, I have everything we need in one bag rather than having to carry multiple items at once. Once in the park the bag is quickly and easily transformed into a blanket. I especially like that the outer material is moisture-resistant so that the wetness from the grass in the park can't seep through the blanket, knowing that Rocky will be dry.
Rocky also absolutely likes it and he immediately made himself comfortable on the blanket.
It's a great idea and a great implementation!

Rocky in his Soft Kennel 52:
Review: As we had a pet carrier bag previously in the car which however broke and then changed to a in-car dog seatbelt, I am actually very happy being able to now securily keep Rocky in the Soft Kennel while driving.
The Maelson Soft Kennel is brilliant! It is very sturdy so will definitely keep it's shape. Due to all it's elaborated features such as the premium extra-strong mesh fabric on the doors, the door locks and the in-car retraining straps on every corner, the Soft Kennel is also very secure. Overall, it is easy to tell that the Soft Kennel had been manufactured to the best quality standarts possible. I therefore have a good conscience keeping Rocky in the Soft Kennel while being on the road as I know he is absolutely safe in it.
And how does Rocky like the Soft Kennel? Rocky LOVES the Soft Kennel! I didn't even have to lure him inside as he straight away went into the Soft Kennel by himself once I had assembled it. I even had trouble keeping him out of the Soft Kennel while taking pictures as he simply didn't want to get out of it. Moreover, he seems very comfortable in it, at home and in the car, which I think is great.
What more to ask for than having a safe place for your dog in the car which your dog additionally loves as well?!
Thus, the Soft Kennel is a huge success, for both me (due to all the safety features) and Rocky (due to him being very comfortable in it).

The only thing I have to say though is that I find the sizes a bit confusing. According to my measurements and the size chart the Jacket should fit perfectly, but is however a bit big which is such a shame as I otherwise think the Jacket is great.
Nevertheless, the R-Flow Jacket is a very sophisticated jacket for both ladies and gents, and I would not want to miss this jacket on any walks, but especially on rainy, windy and cold days.
Overall Review
I am overall more than happy with the Maelson products. All the products are a 100% thought through in terms of features, quality and usability,
in order to create a product of the best standards possible. All the Maelson products are not cheap, however I think they are well worth the money as the are all of the highest quality.
