	We received our Technika All Weather Coat this week (just in time for the -17 C temperatures) and we are beyond happy! Because our German Shorthaired Pointer has such a deep chest we just could not find anything that came close to fitting her. We had to resort to a coat that just went over her back, but that didn't do much for her and it came loose all the time. Now she can finally enjoy herself outside in the winter. Thank You! Dennis (in Ontario) product: Technika All Weather Coat dog model: German Shorthaired Pointer

	Hi Angela! I would like to thank you for the spectacular Whistler Warm Up Coat I ordered for my dog. I appreciate your help in ordering and have to say that this is the greatest coat ever. Our dog loves it and it keeps him warm on his walks and adventures outside! Happy Holidays! Kelly (in Ontario) item: Whistler Warm Up Coat dog model: Rescued mix-Amstaff/Boxer

	Hello, Angela: Received Lucy's coat today. It's the nicest, best quality coat I've ever seen for a dog, and we have had many over many years for a lot of dogs. It fits Lucy snug, but not tight, and easy to put on. Today she began to shiver, it's cold out, so she got to wear it for her walk through the woods for the first time. It fits her nicely and doesn't hinder her in any of her movements. I'm really glad to see her warm not only on top but underneath as well. Thank you very much.

The collars just arrived and they are spectacular! Gorgeous workmanship, beautiful leather--thank you very much! Ilene (in Maryland) product: Braided Collar and Flyball Collar

I've recently moved in with my boyfriend Jamie who, bless his allergic heart, loves my two cats Reiley and Bauer as if they were his own (and as if he didn't have itchy eyes because of them!) My Mom, a dedicated HoundsAroundTown customer bought us a FURminator. I was brushing my cats regularly before the FURminator, so I thought it was silly of her to buy us another brush. Mother knows best! When Jamie and I tried the FURminator for the first time we ended up fighting over who got the brush the cats becasue we were so amazed at the amount of fur coming out of their coats. Not only that, but the cats can't get enough of it! They roll around on the floor in a state of FURminator-induced ecstacy, purring to be brushed. When we're done it looks as though we could knit another cat with the amount of hair that each one has "shed". If you, or someone in your home is allergic, the FURminator makes a world of difference.

The bed did show up -- and very quickly! I think the day after you sent the email saying the Bowser Stripe was available, my pup was enjoying some quality time in the bed. :) It's beautiful! And he loves it. He seems more fond of hard surfaces, but he loves this bed!

Thanks so much for the great service. Much appreciated over here! :)

Take care,

Gimli the German Short Haired Pointer in his size 24 Whistler Warm Up Coat

Angela,

Gimli and I wanted to thank you for his stylish Whistler Warm Up Coat. Even though we've been having a mild-winter in Southern Ontario, Gimli's been wearing his coat for our evening walks. The reflective stripes on his coat light up every time a car drives by and I'm reassured by the fact that the motorists can see us walking in the dark!

I searched far and wide to find a coat for Gimli that was durable and chic - I didn't have much luck in the pet stores. It wasn't until I found your website and the Whistler Warm Up Coat that I was happy. The coat is fantastic and even when Gimli plays off-leash, the coat stays where it's suppose to, while keeping him warm and dry!

Thanks again,

Anja (in Ontario)

Hi Angela.

Guess what -- the coat arrived last night and it's PERFECT! The color is gorgeous and most importantly. the fit
in his chest is fantastic! We wore it last night for our walk and he looked like he was extremely comfortable in it
I am absolutely thrilled. It has been so difficult finding something to fit him and this was the answer. Thank you
very much for suggesting it and helping me w/the exchange. I feel good knowing he will be well protected in the
cold weather now -- not only warm, but dry.

p.s. Thank you also for the toy. Charley and his new sister Daisy started giving it quite a work out the minute I took it out of the envelope.

You've definitely gained a repeat customer.

Hello Angela,
Well, she wasn't the best subject but here are some pictures. We adopted Spot in September, she is about 11 months old, a white Mini Schnauzer. We had a lot of rain yesterday and the new raincoat was put into service immediately. It kept her dry and she didn't mind wearing it at all. Both coats are designed wonderfully.
Regards,

Ruby LOVES her Whistler Warm UP and booties!!! She still wants to wear the coat, even though the snow is gone; crazy girl. Maybe in August she will go without it for a while :) Anyway, we love your stuff. I am glad I found your site.

Thanks so much,

Before I found your website I bought a flyball collar from a US site it cost me twice as much and it was no where near as nice. The hand piece stays at the top so I don't have to go searching for it while trying to line up my dog. I get more compliments on your collar than the one Haley wears and hers is red. It's such beautiful craftsmanship.
Take care

Angela, My leash arrived today and it is perfect!!! I just wanted to write and say thank you for making such a quality product. I will be ordering more things soon. The leash couldn't have come at a better time. I have a rescued Irish Setter that I show in obedience, and he has a trial this weekend. I wanted this leash for the dogs shows, and he looks so handsome in it. He is a very special dog to me because he was rescued, and I really was set on having a nice leash for him so he will look good at the shows. The chestnut leather really sets off his mahogany coat.

Thanks again,

Hi there,

I received the x-large harness for my golden retriever. Not only is it very cute and of very high quality, but it fits him so well and has room for adjustment. He is a big guy and with the extra winter fur, he needed the x-large. Thank you for speaking of animal over-population. My Rocky was a rescue at two years of age and the best thing we ever did. He is now almost 10 years old (thus the harness to protect his neck). I don't know how we will ever cope when we lose him but just to enjoy his love and affection. Like all goldens, he loves his plush toys!

The best thing about harnesses is that many dogs like to stay on the front lawn and bask in the sun or play in the snow, so we use a harness in case he sees a cat and he won't strangle himself if he pulls on the rope.

Thank you.
