How To Measure Custom Riding Boots With Romitelli Boots
Last year I got my first pair of custom riding boots from Romitelli boots and have been obsessed ever since! I had to get a pair of custom riding boots because I didn’t quite fit in standard sizing boots, which fun fact, many don’t! In this video I share the process of how to measure custom riding boots with Romitelli so you can find the perfect horseback riding boots, whether you’re looking for dressage boots or show jumping boots.

Dog Lick Mat Idea Halloween Witch Face Dog Treat Recipe
Your video is very nice, I really like it. But I don't feel good because the views and subscriptions are very low in such beautiful videos. Can I see what could be the cause of low views, subscriptions?
Whats the best way to clean these and get greasiness off?!
@@latosa18 the lick mats shared are dishwasher safe! If you buy a different brand, I would just look up the care instructions! 😊
@sparklesandsunshineblog I dont have a dishwasher....other than myself. No matter how long I let sit in hot soapy water before washing they always stay greasy
@ may I ask what you’re putting on them? Lick mats should not get greasy from fruits, veggies, yogurt or even your dog’s food.
@@sparklesandsunshineblog It varies. I do fruits and veggies mostly but Sometimes I add peanut butter or a squirt of salmon oil on top. Most of the time the oil is added in the food bowl and not the mat. But sometimes I add it to the honey pots. The honey pots come clean but the mats...Idk
@ hmm. Without going down a rabbit hole lol I would say normal things like make sure you’re using warm water when you clean and a good dish soap because I really don’t know what else I would suggest since that always gets my mats clean. Out of curiosity though, what mats are you using? Are they the lickimat brand ones?
Imma have to try this for Fat-fat, my XXL kitty cat.
@@CDHpetcare yes!!!!!! Check out my latest cat is fat video too! I’ve got a new fun cat enrichment puzzle your cat might love!! 😍😍😍
Nice video. I’ve been checking out a bunch of reviews and comparison videos trying to decide which auto litter box to go with. Thank you. This really helped with my decision making.
@@MrPleaseRecycleMe you’re so welcome! Which one did you decide is best for you?!
instead of looking at your cats fat lookat your own you aint missing that shit
Girl you dont know what a fat cat is.... Your boy is a very beautiful chubby cat. Love him with all your heart
@@matichagak548 I do love him with all my heart and I rly wish you would’ve read my response to the other comments saying that he’s not fat. Once you read that then get back to me.
It is funny but just don't Make your cat have less and less food everyday, your cat is not fat👍🏼
@@Rfl_who we aren’t giving him less and less! We just wanted to get to a healthier weight than what he was and then keep him there! He was a lot heavier than when I shot this video. Now, he only has one area we’re working on but he’s slimmed down a lot which is great! It’s just hard to see in this angle! Don’t worry I’m not withholding meals or anything lol!
your cat is not fat
@@legendgammer5 he’s not as fat as he used to be! He’s definitely slimmed down a lot. There’s one area we’re still working on that is hard to see in my videos lol!
😭😭 "I hate these stupid balls thats why they got rid of mine" HELLO?? LMFAO
@@stoplookingatmychannel5835 hahahahahaha that was my favorite part 🤣🤣🤣🤣
The orbs are the easiest for my cat so we took them out 😂
@@CJ-cz3hv hahaha that’s funny! Colonel struggles because his paws are big. Butler can get in and out easier though 🤣🤣
Do they even get enough food? Or is this just a treat
@@aaishakazi3265 this is usually part of their meal and/or a treat!
Sniffari. Nice name! I'll share this with my pet parents! 👍🏾
@@CDHpetcare ahh thank you!!! I hope they love it!
Can you post vids on how you trained the dog to use this
@@Uncle_S_Word absolutely!! I’ll make some!
Corny....but I like it,lol
Should come with a reel in
I have a fat cat. I don't I don't think I feed him too much. But maybe he's sneaking treats when I'm not looking? I think he just has a slow metabolism like me. Or maybe subconsciously I'm feeding him more the same way I am Comfort eating myself? In either case, I will try your suggestions because as cute as I think he is as a chubby cat, I really don't want him to have any health issues. I literally just made a song about him being a fat cat.😅
@@CDHpetcare you’d be surprised at how much we actually need to feed them versus what we usually give them. I’m super guilty of it! My last cat actually became diabetic from being overweight and that’s a common thing! I just got new puzzles in so definitely stay tuned for more videos coming this week!! 🥰
@@sparklesandsunshineblog diabetic cat. noooooo! I'm gonna keep an eye on their portion sizes.(but I still don't get how the other cats in the house aren't 'fat'?🤔🤔

Your cat name is so disgusting🤢🤢🤢
❤❤❤❤❤
That's a great idea, but also encourage them to take your new Pringles pack😢
@@AyushAnand-v5s lol well if you don’t leave your Pringles out, you have nothing to worry about 😂 set your dog up for success, not failure!
"Dog enrichment" sounds like a science experiment
@@snailsaredumb9412 I mean in a sense you’re always experimenting to see what type of enrichment activity your dog likes the most!
My dog will just eat the can
@@GabbyFan101 every dog will respond differently! With any of these DIY enrichment ideas, you should always supervise your dog. It’s not horrible if they destroy it, but you don’t want them to consume it by any means!
@@sparklesandsunshineblog yeah I know… but she eats everything she gets her hands on. Idk how she hasn’t died. She’s eaten glass that she’s knocked over and foil and not died! SHES IMMORTAL BRO
@@GabbyFan101 oh gosh lol! You know, my dog Annie who’s in this video is kind of the same way. She likes to get into stuff a lot and that usually only happens if I don’t do enough enrichment with her and she gets bored. What kind of dog do you have?
Does it work on cats too?
@@smaidiga5119 I haven’t tried it yet but I have made a similar one out something smaller, a toilet paper roll and that was fun! Definitely try it though!
Your cat is adorable! 🥰
@@SwiftObsessed517 thank you!!! His name is colonel mustard and we adopted him last year 🥰🥰🥰
SO CUTE 🥰
@@MamaNa-w2r thanks!!! He’s such an adorable little man!!!
Cute ❤
@@RickyPunihaole-fo4hq thank you!!
@@sparklesandsunshineblog oh your welcome. Your cat is beautiful also
@@RickyPunihaole-fo4hq thank you!! I thought you were talking about him to begin with haha!!
@@sparklesandsunshineblog lol, gotcha!
Cuteeee ima try this but Cat-fil-a or kitty-fil-a❤
@@gymnastygold omg I love that lol!!!
I never even heard of this. What a cool crafts for pet parents and enrichment for pets. Reposting! Edut: now that I think about it, with cat's nails being so much more finer and sharper, they would have to be some type of material that was flexible enough to be manipulated like these cloth strips, but slick enough do not catch the cat's nails. Something plasticky or stringy 🤔? Maybe that plastic string that we used to make gimpy bracelets out of back in the day. Do you know what I'm talking about?
@@CDHpetcare it’s one of our favorite enrichment activities!!! You know, I’ve never tried a different material for my cats, and almost wonder if a plastic type material would make it too easy for them to get the treats out of since it’s more floppy, you know what I mean? I think I know what plastic string you’re talking about too but I think that could potentially become a choking hazard. I had a cat once that tried to eat the yarn off one of my scarves that was thin like that and we had to pull it out of him 🤦🏻♀️ maybe try the felt but just do one later instead of the two that I did and see what they think!!
We're so glad that all went smoothly with Diesel's recovery, and we're so happy that everyone is continuing to enjoy the ramp!☺
I’m so thankful we found you!! Your ramps are truly the best indoor dog ramps out there and I want everyone to know it! ❤️❤️❤️
they are MUCH better than a traditional leash by far
Agree to disagree.
Very untrue. They allow the owner to be lazier, but it grants less control, they break easily, and there isn't a standard of how much space the dog has to roam. Boundaries in calm times like a walk create healthy boundaries in stressful situations when you need your dog to listen.
Thank you for these fantastic ideas. I just bought a few lickimats and I’m anxious to try them. My dog is on a low protein diet due to urinary crystals so it’s so nice to have non meat treats I can use. .
@@janetfowler-g5c you’re so welcome!!!! How has your dog been liking them so far?!
That’s seriously the best treat jar I’ve ever seen!! Where do you get it?? ❤❤
@@bean7033 right!!! Here’s the link to it: bigmouthinc.com/products/bigmouth-pets-prescription-treat-jar?ref=9chm5h7u& It’s from bigmouth!!
Nice couple
Thanks!!! 10 years together lol!
Just confirm does this work with poop? For big dogs specifically lol
@@idrenar4660 lol great question! So I would say if it’s more runny and on a hard floor surface, 1000% yes!!! It’s perfect! If it’s solid, here’s what I would suggest: grab a poop bag or something and pick up the solid poop and then use the spray product (I reviewed it in another video that’s linked in this description!) and clean up any residue that way. The powder is mostly for more liquid-y messes (like Lee, vomit, runny poop) instead of full on solids! I hope that helps! 😊 it’s by far one of the best smelling and best working pet cleaning products on the market by far!!!
@@sparklesandsunshineblog thank you so much for the detailed info!🤗
@@idrenar4660 you’re so welcome!! Let me know if I can help any more! 😊
Really good video! Ready to do my first cleaning and I’m ready to get started. One question however! How do I get the current litter out of the drum???
@@taylorabcdef Thank you!!! Ok! Honestly all I do is take the drum off, grab a trash bag, attach the opening of the trash bag to the drum and pour the litter in! Takes 10 seconds and you can immediately clean the rest of it! 😊 I hope that helps!!
Hey Caitlin! I just watched your videos, and they’re awesome! I sent you an email with some tips and screenshots that could help boost your product sales. Check it out when you can, and let’s chat about it!
Could you use it in the passenger seat area vs cargo in an Ascent Subaru?
@@mtiongson3487 I would say no! My parents have the subaru Forster and I tried it with that and similar to my Nissan Rogue, most SUV’s from what I’ve seen don’t open up enough on the side doors to fit the ramp and have it connect to the seat or even the floor board if the car. But!!! If you’re needing help getting your dog into your car, I highly recommend checking out my video of the help em up harness. I got it for my XL dog diesel for his TPLO surgery last year and now we use it to help him get into the car, our tub for bath time so much more! It’s awesome!
I love Kerrits .I have some vintage stuff and love these new stuff
@@CMustaine-ky5hv Kerrits is the best!!! So comfy and breathable!!
thank you!
@@PinkFlowers365 you’re welcome!!!
Im first!!❤
@@BareMedeea yay!!!!!! Aren’t these dog bandanas so cool?!!!
What kind of peanut butter and yogurt brand do you use for your dogs ? ☺️
@@rachelhuerta2997 awesome question! I love either poochie butter or buddy butter for dog safe peanut butter and honestly any brand of plain Greek yogurt will do! I shop mostly at Aldi so I just get theirs or a bigger size at Sam’s Club of their brand! Here’s a link to poochie butter: amzn.to/3T37vrg And a link to buddy butter so you can see which you like more! I do know buddy butter has additional flavors 😍: amzn.to/4fSb9xY
@@sparklesandsunshineblog thank you ! 💘
@@rachelhuerta2997 you’re welcome!! Btw, you should totally check out some of my other dog treat and dog lick mat recipe idea videos. I think you’ll love them! I even have a video going live later today with like a bunch of healthy food budget friendly recipes you can make for $12! It’s going to be awesome! 🤩
I started teaching the buttons and my rescue-mix dog just kept hitting the Treat and Food buttons over and over 😅 Her Lab genes were certainly shining through 😅
I mean 😂😂
@@Uufda651 hahahaha that’s phenomenal 🤣 my moms labs tried the buttons for the first time the other day and I feel like if I brought over our “hungry” button they’d be hitting it until it broke ahahahaa
OMG my dog's name is diesel too!!!
@@DragonStarXDXD ahhh that’s so cool!!! 😍😍😍 What kind of dog is he?!
OMG my diesel's name is dog too!!!
@@Nimbus_Stratusdiesel dogs for the win!!!!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Best catnip is wild grown (if nobody sprayed chemicals near them) my cats go insane over it for years now
@@stonedgoddess420 I would love to grow catnip for colonel and butler! It would be so fun! I think I’ve actually seen it at Lowe’s in the garden center before. Will have to check lol!
really nice video!
@@Denisuii2 thanks!!!
This is an amazing product line. We use ALZOO Calming Products too!
@@JamieKnochel I’m honestly very impressed! I love that you’re a fan of it too! What scent is your favorite? And what calming product is your favorite since they have a few right?!
Thanks for the video, it helped me to see the difference between the sliding aluminum ramps and the heavy duty plastic ones that fold. I ultimately went with the Petstep foldable ramp because it is wider, longer and heavier. It is virtually the same as the weathertec but the extra weight does makes it harder to lift but also makes it more solid imo. One thing I did myself and noticed you also did is that you lay the rubber teeth on a dog bed and I did the same except on the SUV floor liner. Seems like it is much more secure for the teeth to sink into the softer surface than laying it on the hard slick plastic bumper. Anyway thanks for the helpful video, your dogs are beautiful 😊
I’m so happy this was helpful for you and will be even more helpful for your dog! Please let me know if you have any questions about it once you get it or if you’re curious about any other products! I’m always looking for more things to try for pet parents! 😊
nice....
@@MD.UBIDUR thanks!!
You don’t need to peel the carrots my dogs love carrot peel
@@Raven_Rainy not all dogs do! Mine actually hate it lol.
@@sparklesandsunshineblog that’s crazy mine would do anything for it! Ig all dogs are different like one of mine hates cucumber and the other loves it
@@Raven_Rainy isn’t that funny!! That’s how mine are. One loves certain fruits and stuff and the other just spits it out hahahah!!
Thx a lot. ✌️
