Banned waist belt

Having learned of the unethical practice of a UK company producing knock off Cani-Cross waist belts from an original design develpoed by Rock Empire; on ethical grounds and in support of Rock Empire, CaniX UK will not permit the use of these belts at CaniX events in the UK or Europe. Using this belt in a CaniX event may result in automatic disqualification and, if done with intent to disrupt the event, a possible ban.

If anyone has purchased one of these knock off waist belts, the advise is to return the belt to the retailer and request a refund. To identify a knock off or original see below.

Please read the following statement from Rock Empire:

Rock Empire is dismayed to learn that our waist belts are copied and being sold without recognition of the work we have put in to developing this special belt. As with most other knock offs, these copies may be cheaper, but we remind customers that you get what you pay for. The Rock Empire Cani-Cross belt has been tested and refined by dog lovers throughout the Czech Republic and the European Union and is a leader in providing the best fit and comfort for people choosing to run with their dogs. We encourage customers to inspect merchandise carefully for quality and think twice before purchasing, and we support CaniX UK's efforts to distribute Rock Empire belts in the UK.
