Buddy Belts Harnesses and Leashes...

Put through one arm, then the other, and you're ready to go! All's you need to add is one of Buddy Belt's matching leashes and your dog will be the envy of his friends.

Their sizing is perfect and each Buddy Belt harness will last a while as your puppy grows.
"Traditional neck collars can cause unnecessary strain and discomfort for pets. In many cases this strain results in damage to your pet’s trachea (windpipe) and/or spine. FORM affects FUNCTION and function affects HEALTH! BUDDY BELT enhances proper function and health. – Dr. Leo K. Rosenberg"
The Buddy Belt concept started in the summer of 1997, when Buddy, a miniature Dachshund came into Roxanne's life. Buddy was just over a year old at the time and was soon to become the star of and inspiration for BUDDY BELT. Each time Buddy went walking, he would gag and cough. This made her realize that he needed something other than a neck collar. The harnesses available were difficult to use and did not always protect the neck. She then made the first Buddy Belt prototype using a piece of tire rubber. She took the prototypes to two different leather-workers to create a more refined form. After working with a leather designer for a day, she learned how to create patterns and templates specifically for leather. Next, she invested in tools, equipment and materials needed to create her own harnesses. The result of this endeavor was the creation of a harness that was easy to use and that reduced the stress on the neck. Essential to the design is a single buckle, like a traditional collar, except that this design is fastened between the shoulder blades instead of around the neck. The animal’s front legs extended through the two holes underneath. BUDDY BELT has enhanced the lives of thousands of dogs and their owners. In many cases, it has actually saved lives.
BUDDY BELT was officially launched at PET Expo in Toronto, Canada in October of 2001. In the spring of 2003, production moved from the home-basement enterprise to a factory space in downtown Toronto. A die press, industrial sewing machine, many tools, equipment and leather were moved there. On April 17, 2003, Buddy Belts were being cut by machine. Other than cutting and sewing, many thousands of Buddy Belt have been completely handcrafted. And it keeps multiplying. Buddy is a senior now. He continues to happily wear a Buddy Belt wherever he goes. His personal collection keeps growing.
The quality of the product is the result of continued efforts to make it the best. Class Art Productions Inc, makers of BUDDY BELT, strives for 100% customer satisfaction. Buddy Belts are available in a rainbow of colors to fit dogs sized teacup, toy and standard. Other accessories include: matching ID collars, leashes, couplers and liners. You'll love them. We really love the Coral Dream, Blue Jean, and Plaid! Check them out.
