jeweled dog collarIf you are fashionable and love your dog to be equally trendy, then you will surely want to see your adorable canine in posh apparel. However, it is highly advisable to first ensure that the dog apparel that you are about to purchase is of right size and good quality.

Always consider that even though many dogs have a small stature, they have differences in weight, and sometimes height, which can make a lot of difference. So, when you’re looking to buy any dog clothes, don’t go for the style alone – finding the right size is very important too.

Dog apparel can be accentuated with fashionable dog accessories; these include everything from dog hats to a jeweled dog collar. I’ve even been able to find fashionable fog jackets for winter-time walking.

Dog Coat for Rainy Days

I have a large, long-haired dog that loves her daily walks. In the past, on wet days, I have chosen not to walk her because of the hassle of drying her off when we enter the house. Now that’s no longer a problem. I have found a great looking, affordable waterproof dog blanket coat.

that covers her entire back and sides. And it’s super easy to secure so it stays put. I am so glad I can take her on her walks every day rain or shine. And  she’s happy too.

Great for the Morning Jog

vestI like to take my dog for a jog in the morning, but on darker or cloudy days, we’re less visible. I want to make sure that my dog gets out of the house, but I don’t want to risk his safety, which is why I purchased a dog vest for him. It fits him perfectly and doesn’t impede his movement whatsoever.

Similar to the vests worn by construction workers and crossing guards, this bright orange vest has reflective tape and can be seen in the dark and foggy mornings. Now when we go out, I don’t have to worry about either one of us getting hurt due to low visibility.

Importance of Dog Identification

dog collars

Whether you’ve just adopted a pet from a shelter, or have just purchased a new puppy, it’s important to get dog collars and an identification tag for them right away. It’s a horrible thought that your dog could become lost, but it can happen to any owner. With a dog ID tag, if your pup is found by another person, or even the dog catcher, you won’t have to worry about them not knowing who the dog belongs to. Dogs without ID tags are often never found because there are so many animal shelters, and dogs can wander for significant distances. You also never know if a kind passerby will pick them up and take them to an animal shelter on the other side of town, or even in a different town.

It’s important to get an ID tag for your dog right away whenever you’re welcoming a new dog into your family. After all, you wouldn’t want to lose your new family member just because they couldn’t tell someone their name.

dog jacket

It’s been getting colder out there lately. Sometimes I think twice about going out because the temperature is just freezing. I hate having to leave my dog home along when I do my errands.

My dog hates staying indoors all the time, so I got a dog jacket that will keep him warm on our trips outdoors. At least I’m sure he’s warm despite the cold weather. He looks so cute in his new coat, too.

A Cute Dog Even Cuter

She loves her colorful dog bandanna and all the attention she gets on our outings. My dog is not the type to wear a sweater or jacket. She already has a coat that keeps her warm. So a bandanna is the perfect touch.

Large Dogs Need Warmth, Too

Dog clothing serves an important purpose this time of year. Our dogs get cold outdoors like we do and need an extra layer of fabric for warmth and comfort when they are out and about. I wouldn’t put a jacket or coat on my large Golden Retriever, but I have found the perfect solution to keep her cozy on our winter walks. It is a blanket dog coat. I put it over her back and fasten it quickly with Velcro ties. In a flash, we’re ready to go outdoors, and I know she’s as comfortable in the cold as I am in my warm jacket.

The Miniature Dog Obsession

By now we’ve all seen the hand-sized dogs that have become more of an accessory than a pet for many Hollywood stars. The trend seems to have started with Paris Hilton and her miniature pooch, but the fad has spread into the mainstream as well. You can see women everywhere carrying around their tiny canines, and some even have specially designed bags for toting their pet.

Not only have these adorable little dogs become an accessory for their owner, but they also sport many extravagant accessories themselves. It is not uncommon to see them sporting a leather jacket or glitzy rhinestone dog collar. While I don’t have a problem with spending time with your pet and showing them affection, I think that this obsession has gone too far. It is time for dog’s to once again become “man’s best friend” instead of “man’s best fashion accessory.”
