No more anxiety when your dog and cat are in the same room. No more separating them 24/7 behind closed doors. True cohabitation where both animals feel safe, relaxed, and comfortable.
Beyond mere tolerance. Watch them seek each other out, play together, comfort each other during vet visits, and yes — even sleep curled up together. It’s not a fantasy; it’s an achievable reality.
Know exactly where you should be each week. Celebrate small victories (first eye contact without hissing = HUGE). Stop second-guessing if you’re “doing it right.”
Because setbacks WILL happen. You’ll know the difference between “normal adjustment regression” and “serious problem requiring professional help.” You’ll have specific protocols to get back on track fast.
These techniques work for future pet additions too. Once you understand the principles, you become the expert for YOUR household.
Week 6: Kai descended from his platform while Tommy was eating. They were 1.5 meters apart for 3 minutes. No hissing. Tommy didn’t even look up from his bowl. I CRIED.
Week 10: First nose-to-nose sniff. It lasted 5 seconds. Both walked away calmly. This was the moment I knew we’d make it.
Week 14: Found them sleeping together. I didn’t move for an hour because I didn’t want to break the magic. This is why we did all those baby steps.
Month 4: Tommy protected Kai from a visiting dog 3x his size. Kai sought refuge WITH Tommy instead of fleeing. They’ve truly bonded.
Month 8: They invented their own game where they pass a ball back and forth. We never taught them this. They created their own language.
This guide costs less than ONE professional consultation, yet provides 4.5 months of documented, proven protocols.
Tommy was 13 years old, dominant, and set in his ways.
Kai was 4 months old, disabled, and terrified.
If THEY could become inseparable friends, your pets can too.
You just need the right roadmap. This is it.
Our dedicated Team is available: Monday to Friday from 09:00 to 18:00.
Place it near a window or in a
room your cat already frequents. Sprinkle catnip on the platforms, hang a
favorite toy from the top, and place high-value treats on progressively higher
levels to encourage climbing. Never force your cat onto it. Most cats take 1 to
3 days to adopt a new tree on their own terms. If your cat is hesitant, try
rubbing a blanket or toy they love against the tree to transfer their scent
onto it.
For cats over 15 lbs, look for
trees explicitly rated at 25 to 30 lbs minimum, with platforms at least 16 x 16
inches, posts of 3.5 inches diameter or wider, and a base at least 16 x 16
inches. Maine Coons, Ragdolls, and Norwegian Forest Cats specifically benefit
from heavy-duty models designed for large breeds.
Wall-mounted shelves save floor
space and give you complete control over the configuration. However, they
require drilling into walls and typically lack integrated scratching posts.
Most cat owners get the best results combining a freestanding cat tree (which
provides scratching posts and multiple resting levels) with wall-mounted
perches near windows for extra height. The two approaches complement each other
well.
A well-built cat tree should
last 3 to 7 years. You can extend its life by replacing worn sisal rope as
needed (replacement rope is inexpensive). Replace the entire tree when posts
wobble and cannot be tightened, when platforms flex noticeably under your cat's
weight, or when the sisal core is fully exposed and fraying.
Yes, and a well-built DIY tree
can be sturdier and cheaper than many store-bought options if you have basic
carpentry skills. Use solid 4x4 lumber posts, wrap them with sisal rope, and
attach solid plywood platforms. The most critical element is the base: it must
be heavy and wide enough that the tree cannot tip. Pre-cut kits are also
available for a middle-ground option.
1.
Where are your products made?
We carefully source our products from trusted manufacturers
and suppliers across Europe and internationally. Our selection includes
products made of quality items from select global partners. We prioritize working
with manufacturers who meet high standards for quality, safety, and ethical
production practices. Many of our premium brands are produced in Europe or outside Europe under
strict EU regulations.
2.
Are your products safe for my pet?
Absolutely! Pet safety is our top priority. All products
sold by TOMMY & KAI comply with European Union safety standards and
regulations for pet products. This includes compliance with REACH
(Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) for any
chemical substances, EU regulations on pet food safety, and toy safety standards.
We only partner with manufacturers who provide safety certifications and
testing documentation. All pet food and treats meet EU animal nutrition
regulations, and toys are tested to ensure they are free from harmful
substances and choking hazards.
3.
Do you use sustainable or eco-friendly materials?
We are committed to offering more sustainable options for
environmentally conscious pet owners. Our collection includes products made
from eco-friendly materials such as recycled plastics, organic cotton, natural
rubber, bamboo, and sustainably sourced wood. We're continuously expanding our
range of biodegradable, recyclable, and sustainably produced pet supplies. Look
for the 'Eco-Friendly' badge on product pages to easily identify these items.
We also work with manufacturers who implement responsible production practices,
including reduced plastic packaging and carbon-neutral shipping where possible.
4.
How do you ensure product quality?
Quality control is essential to us. We personally test and
evaluate products before adding them to our catalog. We partner only with
manufacturers who have established quality management systems and can provide
product certifications (such as ISO certifications, GMP for pet food, or CE
marking where applicable). We also monitor customer feedback and reviews
closely – if a product doesn't meet our quality standards based on customer
experience, we discontinue it. Additionally, we conduct regular supplier audits
and maintain direct communication with our manufacturing partners to ensure
consistent quality across all products.
5.
Can I request custom or personalized pet products?
Yes! We offer a selection of customizable products including
personalized pet tags, custom-embroidered collars and leashes, engraved food
bowls, and personalized pet beds with your pet's name. These items are made to
order by our specialized manufacturing partners. Please note that personalized
products typically require [e.g., 5-7] additional business days for production
before shipping and cannot be returned unless they are defective or we made an
error in the customization. You can find our personalization options on
specific product pages, or contact us at tommynkai@gmail.com if you have a special
custom request and we'll do our best to accommodate it.
1.
How long do I have to return a product?
You have 14 calendar days from the date you receive your order to return any product for a full refund. This is your legal right under Belgian consumer protection law. To initiate a return, simply contact us at tommynkai@gmail.com within this period. You then have an additional 14 days to send
the product back to us.
2.
What condition does the product need to be in for a return?
Products must be returned in their original condition, unused, and in the original packaging with all tags and labels attached. You may open the packaging to inspect the product (just as you would in a physical
store), but the product itself should not show signs of use. Please note that certain items like perishable pet food, opened hygiene products (e.g., unsealed grooming tools, opened pet supplements), or personalized items cannot be returned for hygiene and safety reasons.
3.
Who pays for return shipping?
For returns within the 30-day withdrawal period, you are
responsible for the cost of returning the product to us unless the item is
defective or we sent you the wrong product. If the product is faulty or
incorrect, we will cover all return shipping costs and arrange collection. We
recommend using a tracked shipping service, as we cannot be held responsible
for items lost in transit during return shipment.
4.
How long does it take to receive my refund?
Once we receive your returned item, we will inspect it
within 2-3 business days. If the return is approved, we will process your
refund within 14 days of receiving the returned product. The refund will be
issued to your original payment method. Depending on your bank or payment
provider, it may take an additional 5-10 business days for the refund to appear
in your account. You will receive an email confirmation once the refund has
been processed.
5.
Can I exchange a product instead of returning it?
Currently, we do not offer direct exchanges. If you would
like a different size, color, or product, please return your original item for
a refund and place a new order for the item you want. This ensures you get your
preferred product as quickly as possible. If you received a defective or
incorrect item, please contact our customer service team at tommynkai@gmail.com,
and we will arrange a replacement or exchange immediately at no cost to you.
1.
How long will it take to receive my order?
For orders within Belgium/UK, standard shipping typically takes
2-4 business days after your order is processed, while express shipping takes
1-2 business days. Please note that processing time (usually 1 business day for
orders placed before 4:00 PM) is separate from shipping
time. So if you order on Monday before the cut-off, your package will likely
arrive by Thursday or Friday with standard shipping. You will receive a
tracking number via email once your order has been dispatched so you can
monitor its progress.
2.
Do you offer free shipping?
Yes! We offer free standard shipping on all orders in Europe. For North America, New Zealand and Australia, shipping costs are offered for all orders over
€50. For orders under this amount, standard
shipping costs of €12,00 are of application. During special promotions, we
may offer free shipping with no minimum purchase requirement – make sure to
subscribe to our newsletter to stay informed about these offers!
3.
Can I track my order?
Absolutely! Once your order ships, you will receive a
shipping confirmation email containing a tracking number and a direct link to
track your package in real-time. You can see exactly where your package is and
when it's expected to arrive. If you haven't received tracking information
within 24-48 hours of placing your order, please check your spam folder or
contact us at tommynkai@gmail.com and we'll look into it right away.
4.
What happens if I'm not home when the package arrives?
If you're not available to receive your delivery, the
courier will leave a notice with instructions. Typically, they will attempt
delivery 1-2 more times, or you can arrange to pick up your package at a nearby
collection point (such as a bpost point or pickup location). You'll receive a
notification with details on how to collect your package. If the package is not
collected within 7 days, it will be returned to us, and you may need
to pay for reshipping if you still want the order.
5.
Do you ship internationally?
Yes, we ship to all EU, North America, Australia and New Zealand
countries. International shipping
times vary by destination but typically range from 5-12 business days for EU
countries. Please note that international orders may be subject to customs
duties, import taxes, and fees imposed by your country, which are the
responsibility of the customer. Shipping costs for international orders are
calculated at checkout based on your location and the weight of your package.
"Perfect for my nervous rescue, despite initial sizing confusion". Ordered a medium for my 9kg Cocker Spaniel but it was too snug around her chest. Customer service was brilliant - responded within hours and sent a large immediately with a prepaid return label. The coat is lovely quality, the fleece lining is genuinely soft, and my anxious Bella doesn't try to wriggle out of it. The snap buttons are perfect for nervous dogs, and the bright red color makes spotting her easy in the park during gloomy winter mornings.
"Great coat, but measure twice before ordering!"
Ordered medium for my 12kg Beagle based on weight alone - too tight around his generous belly! The material is proper thick polyester and the fleece does the job, though the length is a bit short for longer breeds. The bright orange color is brilliant for early morning visibility, and it's holding up well after several muddy walks and washes.
"Game-changer, though initial setup was challenging"
Took me nearly an hour to assemble and calibrate this properly - the instructions could be clearer, especially regarding the sensor positioning. However, once I got it working, it's been absolutely brilliant! My two cats, Whiskers and Mittens, adapted within days. The self-cleaning mechanism works quietly and efficiently, though I did have to contact customer service when it jammed in the first week due to clumping litter I was using. They recommended a different litter type and sent troubleshooting videos immediately - problem solved and hasn't jammed since.
"Spacious and well-designed after initial delivery hiccup"
My order was delayed by nearly a week with no tracking updates, which was frustrating before a planned vet visit. I contacted customer service who apologized profusely and upgraded me to next-day delivery at no charge. The carrier itself is excellent - much more spacious than expected for my 5kg Poodle, with proper ventilation mesh and a removable washable liner. The shoulder strap is comfortable even on longer walks, and the side pocket fits treats, poo bags, and my phone perfectly.
Arrived with two screws and a bracket missing - I was absolutely livid as I'd cleared an entire afternoon for assembly. Contacted customer service with photos, and they expressed shipped the missing parts overnight with a sincere apology and 15% refund without me even asking. Once assembled, this cat tree is phenomenal! Rock solid even with my two hefty 6kg cats racing up and down it. The sisal posts are thick and holding up brilliantly to constant scratching, and all three platforms get used daily.
"Good quality but assembly instructions need work"
The instructions were genuinely confusing - some diagrams didn't match the actual parts, and steps were out of sequence. Took me and my partner two hours to assemble when it should have been 45 minutes. That said, the finished product is solid and well-made. The platforms are properly carpeted, the scratching posts are wrapped tightly with quality sisal, and my cat Ruby uses it constantly. The top perch is her new favorite spot for surveying her kingdom, and it hasn't wobbled once despite her enthusiastic jumping.
