Product Review: Titan Ink!

You may know them as @mixlamprecht7 on Instagram, I know them as Titan and Mom. Mom is Michaela and together they formed Titan Ink!

It’s hard not to fall in love with Titan, his squishy face and adorable fun-loving attitude and of course he is a rottie. Mom is pretty fabulous herself, always offering friendly advice to anyone who needs it. When we were asked to be apart of this amazing collaboration, of course we said YES!

Titan Ink is special. Not only is this one for my fellow South Africans but it offers so much more than t-shirts and hoodies. Each item that gets sold, proceeds go to a certain charity, let me explain further…

You all know that I am a Rottie Mom and a very proud one at that! For every ‘Rottie Mom’ shirt sold, a percentage goes towards the Rottweiler Rescue of South Africa. Oscar is a basset cross bulldog but gets more “oh he is a cute basset” comments than “he looks like a super cute bulldog” comments, so I went with being a proud ‘Basset Mom’ for his t-shirt. Proceeds from this go to the South African Basset Adoptions Foundation. At the moment, Pretoria Animal Buddies and Underdogs are the other recipients.

Most of us animal lovers much prefer our furry friends over the human type. This is exactly what inspired Michaela to create Titan Ink, which is aptly named after her best friend Titan. Currently on offer are t-shirts and hoodies with writing in gold, copper and the oh so stunning rose gold. Each order is custom made as you order. Whatever your fur babies breed is, Titan Ink will create your t-shirt or hoodie. The range is looking to expand very soon so keep an eye on them for new and exclusive items.

Dog lover clothing is a big hit overseas and slowly creeping into the South African market too-YAY. Titan Ink garments are 100% quality made! I am totally in love with my two t-shirts and I am proud to wear them.

Michaela lives by the mantra “If you follow your passion you will never work a day in your life.” You can support Titan Ink by following their Facebook Page and Instagram account. For orders email titan7ink@gmail.com

Product Review: PetQwerks Dinosaur Bones

categories: Product Reviews

We love PetQwerks and clearly PetQwerks loves us!! We received another amazing box filled with goodies for Oscar and Zara to enjoy, but the toy that particularly looks interesting is the new PetQwerks Dinosaur Bone!

I had to have a little chuckle at this aptly named chew toy for Zara because we call her our Dinosaur. She is 53kg of pure Rottie. Much like a dinosaur she causes chaos on a daily basis, but good chaos of course! Her mad half hours are filled with toys being tossed in the air, rumbles on the bed throwing all the neatly placed cushions all over the floor, she stampedes to the couch making sure she takes over as much as she can at any one given time, digs craters in the grass so I fall in them while running around playing chasing games with her and she digs holes in the flower beds almost ripping up my most precious trees, all while Oscar watches from the sidelines. But you know what, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Zara is our beautiful dinosaur and Oscar is my noble steed who never leaves my side.

As soon as I opened the box of goodies from PetQwerks, Zara inched closer to the table, rested her head almost inside the box and using her long chameleon tongue began licking the huge Dinosaur bone chew! I knew that I would have to work fast and get the photos I wanted so she could enjoy this new fantastic Dinosaur bone chew.

The new Dinosaur Bone that we received is the real bacon flavour and it was an instant hit with Zara. They are specifically made for extreme tough chewers like our Dinosaur. They come in three different sizes and are made from 100% Nylon and real bacon. The other flavours include wood and peanut butter-yummy! These chew toys give me complete peace of mind as something for Zara to gnaw on. Rawhide chews are still everywhere yet we all know the dangers of them. Zara loves to chew and gnaw things from sticks to stones and even soft toys-all of which have potential dangers. With any of the PetQwerks chews and now with this fantastic giant Dinosaur Bone chew, I know she will be happy to chew for hours and hours to come without it being harmful to her.

Of course Oscar had his usual sniff and slobbered on everything but kindly let his sister take over. He did give the Bacon BarkBone a little lick, after all which pup doesn’t love bacon? We received a newly designed bottle of IncrediBubbles which I made my mission to show Oscar how much fun they can be… He still isn’t convinced-haha!

The new light up BabbleBall which has 18 new sounds and phrases is just the best. I giggle every time it’s set off! Zara quite liked the X-Tire ball and when it began roaring and chirping she was most confused and intrigued as to why these noises are coming from her new toy.

PetQwerks toys really are unique and fantastic! There is no other way to describe them. Our pooches are such curious creatures and I love watching how both Oscar and Zara interact with new and unique toys. The PetQwerks range of goodies will not disappoint you. I really do love the BabbleBalls, I have never seen anything quite like them before. Watching the way Oscar and Zara stare at them while the balls are barking and saying hilarious things is extremely entertaining. Your pet will learn that the BabbleBall needs a nudge or a paw to set it off, making this a super fun interactive toy for them. The light up BabbleBall brings another element of interaction with it in the form of a light that flashes making it tons of fun to play with at night.

Overall we thank PetQwerks for more wonderful spoils. We are proud to associate ourselves with them. They are a brand that is dedicated to enriching the lives of pets with their fun and innovative ideas. We say keep them coming!

Product Review: PetQwerks Volume Two…

categories: Product Reviews

PetQwerks is honestly one of our most favourite doggy toy companies out there! Not only are their toys and chews unique and just outright fantastic, their service and customer care is incredible and of course being brand ambassadors for them has it’s perks too…

PetQwerks offers a wide variety of tasty chew toys, there’s something for everyone at PetQwerks, even super heavy chewers like Zara! Their chew toys are very unique. Not only are they really strong but they are scented and flavoured too. Anything from berries, to bacon, they have a flavour to tickle every pups taste buds. PetQwerks also has a range of super cute soft toys, some of which make cute sounds and of course the famous IncrediBubbles and BabbleBall range.

Our box of PetQwerks goodies arrived with much excitement and anticipation and boy were we happy when we opened our box! Beautifully wrapped in paw print tissue paper was the cutest hedgehog soft toy which makes the cutest little noise ever! Zara is most intrigued with this talking fluffy toy. A squeaker newspaper which Oscar will take joy in reading-haha. A bottle of IncrediBubbles which are our absolute BEST!! A FlavoritBreath chew, a super cute emoji squeaky toy which I might add is the loudest squeaker I have ever heard in a toy-much to Zara’s delight of course! AND the newest addition to their BarkBone range, the BBQ BARKBONE! What a box of spoils we received.

I was already a huge fan of the BarkBones ever since we received our very first one, a peanut butter flavoured one. Zara is still gnawing on it, ten months later and it’s still in tact and in good condition! BarkBones are crafted with the essence of their specific favour throughout. There are no colourants and no additives making them non-toxic and non-allergenic and safe for your pup to enjoy on a daily basis. I particularly love BarkBones for Zara because it has provided an amazing alternative to rawhide treats-which we all know are horrific!

This BBQ flavoured BarkBone was an instant hit with both Oscar and Zara. When I put the box of goodies in-front of them to let them choose their favourites, they both immediately went for the BBQ BarkBone. Luckily Oscar is such a gentleman, he let Zara take the BBQ BarkBone to her bed to chew and enjoy quietly. Oscar’s second favourite item was the newspaper-just as I thought, haha! He loves keeping up with the news of the pup world!

Another firm favourite in our house are the IncrediBubbles. We just cannot get enough of them. Every pup loves bubbles right-well except Oscar, traditionally bubbles are made from soap and other harsh ingredients, I worried what they would do to Zara. Thankfully PetQwerks came to the rescue. These IncrediBubbles not only smell amazing but taste great too-yes I tasted them!! These IncrediBubbles are a lot stronger than regular bubbles and they don’t pop immediately they land on something. After bubble time Zara is usually covered in small intact bubbles clinging to her fur. Oscar is not a lover of the bubbles, they frighten him a bit. Floating things falling from the sky are not a fun thing when you’re scared of your own shadow-haha.

Oscar is quite fond of the Hedgehog that makes a cute sound. Since he is such a snuggle bug, he happily shares his bed and his duvet with his new cute friend and settles down for an afternoon nap.

Once again PetQwerks didn’t disappoint at all. Their range of dog toys is absolutely amazing. We will forever support PetQwerks and you should too!

Product Review: DONQUE Personalised Clothing

categories: Product Reviews

When DONQUE asked us to collaborate with them, we of course jumped ten feet high at the chance! Not only are their clothing items stylish, but you get to customise your items with your furry loves face and name. Seriously what’s not to LOVE about this?

DONQUE is an Amsterdam based company that focusses on creating apparel for dog and cat lovers around the world. Their range of clothing items include t-shirts, sweaters and hoodies.

We received two hoodies, one for me which was custom made with Oscar’s exact face on it-since he is so unique 🙂 And the other one with Zara’s Rottie face. Both designs were made just for us because no one had requested these breeds before. The communication from the DONQUE team was absolutely incredible! Non-stop emails making sure we loved both Oscar and Zara’s designs perfectly. Nothing was too much trouble. If we wanted an eyebrow in the opposite direction, or an extra wrinkle line, it was done and sent back within minutes.

Once I knew our hoodies were on their way, I just couldn’t keep still with excitment. This concept is just so unique, I couldn’t wait to get my paws on these hoodies.

Delivery day…. My excitement was unreal, mainly because we were getting a present this time. Poor Oscar and Zara were very confused when I opened up our package and this one wasn’t for them. Sorry guys. We got two stunning, and I mean stunning, black hoodies, the Oscar one is mine and the Zara one is for my two legged companion. Despite it being about 300 degrees outside and the sun blazing, we eagerly put on our hoodies and ran to the mirror to check ourselves out… We thought we looked fantastic-haha!!

These hoodies are warm and very comfortable. For once I cannot wait for the weather to change so we can both be seen out in our new custom DONQUE hoodies. They’re made of quality material and made really well. Of course you need to be careful not to iron on the print, but that goes for any item with iron-on detail.

For you, my wonderful readers and followers, will get a 10% discount when you use this discount code at check out: ILOVESTYLISHPAWS or simply click on this link: https://wearedonque.com/discount/ILOVESTYLISHPAWS

Oscar and Zara were super proud to walk the streets with us, knowing their humans wore a hoodie with their faces and names on for everyone to see!

You definitely won’t regret placing your order. Who doesn’t want a t-shirt, sweater or hoodie with their pet on?

Product Review: The Nooshel Dog Diary.

categories: Oscar, Product Reviews, Zara

Wow, just wow! The Dog Diary from Nooshel is nothing short of spectacular. From the packaging to the paper quality, this diary is a must for every dog lover out there.

Our Dog Diary arrived in a beautiful box, neatly wrapped up. I couldn’t wait to open it. For a change the delivery was for me and not the pups.
Page one | “Hi… I’m a dog person” | I giggled at this because it is just so wonderful to have an everyday diary that incorporates my love for Oscar and Zara! Each month begins with a new quote that is pooch related of course, and I adore each one of them!

This sophisticated and modern A5 diary fits perfectly in any handbag or laptop bag, with a hard cover to protect it from getting bent and damaged.

Throughout the year the Dog Diary let’s you know of important “dog days” for example, dress up your pet day was on January 14th. Sadly we missed out on this fun “dog day” but future days are diarised so we won’t miss out on a thing-stay tuned.

I wasn’t expecting a pen or decorative stickers with my Nooshel Dog Diary, but that’s exactly what I got! I love crafting, a lot, and I have already whipped up my own personal stickers to go with my cute Nooshel ones, and filled my Dog Diary with loved ones birthdays, vacations and public holidays! It looks fantastic to say the least.

Nooshel is a brand that loves four legged creatures as much as I do, and that’s A LOT. So it’s no wonder I adore my Dog Diary the way I do. It has been made with loads of love and care, and for pet parents who want their fur babies incorporated into their everyday work life. Nooshel believes that every dogs life matters, and proceeds from all their products are donated to charities who share this same vision!

We could all use a Dog Diary in our life, it helps us stay organised and on track. I know I always feel so much better if I have a daily diary I can refer to for my list of things to do and achieve for the week. The Dog Diary certainly is special, you won’t regret placing your order…

Product review: Vagabond-Dogs: Luxury Dog Accessories

categories: Product Reviews

When we got asked to do a product review for Vagabond-Dogs we were over the moon with excitement! Not only are their dog accessories super stylish in looks but they are hand crafted and designed with so much love and care too.

Vagabond-Dogs is a brand that is all about the love of dogs. They are using Vagabond-Dogs as a platform for advocacy and charity, and being a new brand they are building up their network of advocates, so if you know a dog charity that needs support please contact Vagabond-Dogs directly on hello@vagabond-dogs.com

In our brief email conversations, I instantly knew that Ted and Nelly are the real deal when it comes to loving animals. They have put everything they have into creating Vagabond-Dogs as well as into supporting animal shelters and rescuing pups in need.

When I opened our delivery box, each collar was neatly wrapped in tissue paper. It looked so neat and tidy I didn’t want to ruin it by ripping open the tissue paper and causing chaos. But I did because I couldn’t contain my excitement any longer! What we received were four beautiful collars. We received the Born Free range that has a boho signature design engraved absolutely perfectly into each collar. The quality of each collar is outstanding and guaranteed to last a lifetime. The inspiration behind each collar comes from life. Be it architecture, design, fashion or nature. The Born Free range was inspired after many trips that Ted and Nelly look to Joshua Tree National Park in California.

It was hard to decide which colours for which pup. I feel they are unisex and once I began photographing Oscar and Zara wearing their new gorgeous collars, I was right! All four collars look fantastic on both Oscar and Zara. I will definitely be mixing up who wears what on our outings and adventures.

Who doesn’t love a brand that works hard to give back and support the dogs out there who are less fortunate than our own. So go on, support Vagabond-Dogs. Help them achieve their dream by heading to www.vagabond-dogs.com and spoiling your pups, it’s totally worth it!! Oh and did I mention they offer worldwide shipping….

categories: Product Reviews

We were so excited when Hill’s South Africa asked us to be apart of their #HillsDreamMaker campaign.

The Hill’s Dream Maker Pillow is just that… Comfy, Poofy and Stylish!

The Hill’s Dream Maker Pillow comes in three gorgeous colours to match any home.

Product Review: Njom Njoms

categories: Product Reviews, Valentine and Duchess

Valentine and Duchess, my bunny loves, are just as spoilt as Oscar and Zara! But I have to work a lot harder to find awesome spoils for my fluff balls. I often come up with fun DIY boredom busters or make some homemade treats for them, but sometimes I want to buy some yummy and fun goodies for them.

When I discovered Njom Njoms I was over the moon!! Maybe I am seriously fussy but I struggle to find awesome natural products for Valentine and Duchess. Njom Njoms came to the rescue… I placed my order and waited patiently while the goodies were handmade with tons of love.

Njom Njoms is a family affair and they too have seven wonderful bunny loves and two happy guinea pigs. It was their love for their own small critters that provided the inspiration to start up Njom Njoms and provide South Africans with good quality small pet products.

When our delivery arrived I don’t know who was more excited, myself, Valentine, Duchess, Oscar or Zara-haha! Yes, Zara was super excited when she saw a massive box being delivered and thought it was a box filled with goodies for her. Oscar was also hopeful when he saw the size of the box but not every delivery can be for them 😉 I unpacked the box and was beyond happy with what we had received!!

We received a handmade hay holder, willow gnaw sticks, willow balls to roll around, willow rings to throw around, yummy hay topper packs and three giant bags of hay-oat hay and teff grass. The packaging is awesome and the quality of each item is superb.

I quickly filled the hay basket holder with some oat hay, sprinkled in some hay topper-strawberries and cream and watched Valentine and Duchess go wild with excitement.

Instead of just giving them plain willow gnaw sticks, I pushed them through some toilet roll holders and filled them with fresh grass and Oat Hay-let me tell you these were a total hit!

I absolutely love watching them throw their willow rings up in the air and roll along their willow balls! For extra entertainment I love to tuck fresh herbs in balls and twist them through the rings. Duchess is the most impatient bunny of the two and in no time she has tossed the ring up in the air so all the herbs go flying. Valentine will happily just sit and figure out a more calm approach-haha!!

I especially love the different hay toppers that Njom Njoms offer. Each one is different and it provides just a little something special to your bunnies hay. We received the Strawberries and Cream, Vitamin C boost and a general hay topper.

It’s safe to say that Valentine and Duchess give Njom Njoms a five paw rating and we will be ordering some more awesome goodies very soon!

If you would like to get in touch with Njom Njoms you can visit their website at www.njomnjoms.co.za or their Facebook page at click here

We hope your small pets enjoy these goodies as much as Valentine and Duchess did!
