 OEKO-TEX® IS THE ANSWER!Our dogs are often seen as family members, and their health, safety and wellbeing is of the utmost importance to us.
For this reason, it’s essential that manufacturers of dog harnesses use high quality and skin-friendly materials that are guaranteed to be safe for human use! I mean why would we put an accessory on our pooch that wasn't safe for us to use ourselves! All materials imported into the EU require Reach certification which states that they do not contain any harmful or prohibited ingredients. So it is super important that the straps and linings used on dog harnesses have this certification, to avoid the risk of any potentially damaging components being absorbed into our beloved pooch via contact with the skin. But who can give this certification? That's where OEKO-TEX® comes in! STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® is a globally standardized, independent testing and certification system for textile raw materials, intermediate and end products of all processing stages and accessory materials used. The strict tests for harmful substances and measures of this standard include:
And what does all of this mean? The STANDARD 100 by OEKO-TEX® certification offers reassurance that the materials used in the manufacturing of the Julius-K9® dog harnesses are completely safe for you and your hounds. And that's a big thumbs up in our book!

 SUCH A SWEET DEAL BUT WHAT EXACTLY IS THE IDC® STEALTH POWERHARNESS?In short, it's a professional harness for all working dogs, police dogs and security dogs. It was actually exclusively developed for U.S. law enforcement! Of course it's not limited to the professionals, our large pet pooches love it too, need we say more! Yes? Read on to find out the details or send one straight to your shopping cart here!
INTRODUCING THE COLOR & GRAY® FAMILY!Let's be honest, we all love matching products regardless of whether they're our socks, stationery, rugby team uniforms or even wine with meals! Why? It makes the selection of products effortless for us, and appeases the OCD tendencies in those of us who have them. And with that in mind, we now have renamed our IDC® Super-Grip leads and IDC® collars and put them in an all new family called the COLOR & GRAY® collection. By doing this you now have the ease of buying your pooch's collar and lead in their favourite colour from the one family. Genius right?! That's not all that's great about this collection, while the name has changed, the great products are still the same! But what exactly makes these products so great, and stand out from the many other leads and collars available in the market? The materials, that's what! The COLOR & GRAY® collars and leads may harmonise like a symphony orchestra in appearance, they are actually made from two different materials.
Let's start with the leash, it is a synthetic material with rubber threads woven into it. This makes for a durable fabric pleasant to the touch, with the rubber threads woven into its surface ensuring the optimum grip for leading your dog. While the collar looks the same, the thin rubber threads are replaced with polyester in the collar. This means that the awesome grip that the lead has, won't be doing it's thing with the collar on the fur of your pooch. When we say that Julius-K9® gear has been designed for your dogs comfort, we mean it!

This is a long one but an important one. Have you ever found an amazing "to good to be true" deal on a designer product online and eagerly awaited it's arrival, only to find what you ended up with was a cheap knock off that didn't last the distance? I think we've all been there... so here's how to recognise the real deal from the copycats, why the real deal is worth it and what you can do if you suspect you have been sold fake JULIUS-K9® gear. How to Recognise a Fake Julius K9 HarnessThe REAL IDC® Powerharnesses have been manufactured with the highest quality materials and are thoroughly tested to ensure your dog receives a perfectly fitting harness ideal for all activities. The FAKE harnesses are made of cheap materials that have not been tested. These harnesses are increasing in the market and are found on online auction/trading websites such as Ebay, Amazon and Trade Me. It's important to understand that even though these products may display the JULIUS-K9® brand name, they are NOT manufactured by the original company in Europe. So, how do you tell the difference? DO YOU WANT TO MAKE LONG WALKS EVEN MORE COMFORTABLE FOR YOU AND YOUR POOCH?Scientific research has shown that when walking a dog on a leash, the dog’s body, as well as the body of the person walking the dog, can be subjected to thousands of vibrations through the harness and the leash. Over time, these micro-vibrations can have a detrimental effect on the joints of both the dog and the owner. Enter the IDC®LONGWALK dog harness! It is the first joint-friendly Y-harness, designed especially for those longer walks and excursions with your pet. With the Julius-K9® Duo-Flex® micro-vibration absorbing system incorporated into the dog harness, those vibrations, tugs and jolts are dampened, lessening their impact on the dog and on the person, while protecting the joints when the leash tightens, and at other times of stress, such as releasing your ever-excited dog off the leash to run. These stylish harnesses also have all the extra features that Julius-K9 accessories are known and loved for, neoprene lining, bag and torch attachment options, super-grip handle, reflective safety elements and of course the interchangeable custom patches! Not to mention theFind Us In Store award-winning design and colour scheme. AVAILABLE IN 3 COLOURS AND INSTORE ONLY FOR NOW! So click HERE to find us in your nearest store.
  So we've just GOT to show you our IDC® Neoprene Dog Jacket!
Now just because our pets have fur, doesn't mean that they too don't feel the cold, or worse their health be effected by the cold temperatures, frost, ice and snow that comes with Winter... especially since some of our beloved dogs still like to, not only play in those extremes, but swim as well!! Our jacket offers effective protection against the cold for those crazy winter activities. The waterproof, soft and elastic material of the jacket fits the body tightly, making it a comfortable wear for our dogs. While its excellent thermal insulation capability is guaranteed by thousands of tiny air bubbles that are embedded in the neoprene material. But not only does it protect our dogs from the cold, with its phosphorescent and reflective elements, it ensures high visibility for an extra serving of protection while looking super styley for those fashion forward pets of ours. And of course the changeable custom labels can not be missed from this product either, the small patches fit the Neoprene Jacket from size B1-XL. Click here if you'd like to take a closer look!
