Dog costumes are a fun way to celebrate holidays. Whether it’s the fourth of July, or Halloween, costumes for dogs are very popular and appropriate for pups of all sizes and ages. Of course, everyone wants his or her dog to win the unofficial best costume prize, and we think the best costumes are the ones that draw from your dog’s size or unique personality. Sometimes the funniest costumes are the ones that poke fun of your dog’s small or large size. For instance, a tiny Chihuahua looks extra hilarious in an eye catching red devil costume, while a large (normally intimidating-looking) Doberman will look adorable in a cute bunny or fairy costume. Princess costumes for dogs are a popular choice for girl dogs of all sizes, and they bring out the diva in every canine. Superhero costumes bring out the bold side in male dogs, and they love the attention a cute costume brings them! If you are looking for a gender-neutral costume, consider a bumblebee, monster, or even a gnome! This years new Wizard of Oz series are sure to be a hit (we especially love Tin Man and Dorothy!) We suggest ordering your special festive wear weeks ahead of time to make sure you have the perfect fit. When you receive your order, don’t wait till the day of the event to put the costume on your pup, have them try it on right away to make sure you don’t need a smaller or larger size. If it’s your dog’s first time wearing any type of clothing, make sure to give him or her lots of positive reinforcement to make their experience as pleasant as possible- some extra treats will do the trick! ;)

There’s something about that little blue box with crisp white ribbon that sends our hearts aflutter. Lucky for us, Tiffany Blue has become a popular color this season. Dog Diggin Design’s Sniffany Bed is the perfect item for your pampered pup to lounge around on. Keeping with the Tiffany Box theme, the Sniffany Box toy and the Sniffany Bone feature exciting squeakers to keep your dog entertained for hours. 

A dog’s summer wardrobe should be fun, sporty and lightweight. Dogs love playing in water during hot summer days. Whether you live by the beach, lake or have a swimming pool, keeping your dog cool is important for his/her health. Dogs only have sweat glands in areas that are not covered with fur (such as the paws and nose), which is why they pant to keep cool, as heat is lost by evaporation. If your dog is swimming in shallow or still water, then a cute little dog bikini or trunk shorts are a fun fashionable choice. For deeper water we recommend a life vest for both small and large dogs. EzyDog life vests contain 50% more floatation material and are ergonomically designed to ensure your dog’s comfort and safety. Buoyant materials are especially important when there are choppy waves at the beach or lake. 

Dog Days is a common term referring to the hottest days of summer. But what does your dog do on these steaming hot days that leave their owner sweating? While dogs have sweat glands on their feet, they rely mostly on (excessive) panting to cool themselves off. But there are certain measures you can take to ensure you dog is cool, comfortable and stylish for summer. Cooling pad beds are a fantastic way to keep your dog cool as a cucumber and best of all- it recharges itself so no refrigeration or electricity is required! These chill pads can fold in half, making them easy to travel with. Speaking of traveling, Zuka Travel Bowls are a chic way to keep your dog hydrated. We love these bowls because you can fold them up and squeeze them into the tiniest pockets, yet they will still maintain their shape when you are ready to use them. Another travel dog bowl we are obsessed with is made by Sleepypod and is aptly named the ‘Yummy Travel Bowl’. If the innovative 3-tier design isn’t enough to wow you over, then the BPA-free silicone material they’re made from is sure to impress you. Since they are made from such a unique material, you can freeze them or toss them into the microwave without worry. 

With spring in full swing, Susan Lanci brings us a beautiful new dog collar and harness collection featuring three-dimensional Water Lilies, Petunias, and new two-tone designs!  Like all Susan Lanci Designs, these collections are made with genuine upholstery grade Ultrasuede. Along with the new designs comes three new limited edition Ultrasuede colors: Electric Orange, Electric Pink and Bimini Blue. These gorgeous bright new colors look especially stunning on the Swarovski Crystal Water Lily Step-In Harnesses!  Did you know that Susan's Step-In Harnesses can also be used to secure your dog on car rides? Just snap on the harness with the shoulder strap seatbelt in place for a safe, secure and fashionable car ride. Available in 10 solid colors, the harness is also available in a two-tone series. Our favorite harness color combinations from this new collection include: Black & Perfect Pink and Tiffy Blue and Sun. Not to be outdone, the Pretty Punia Collars are another instant hit for the summer. Many small dog owners prefer the no-choke harnesses, but Susan Lanci's collars can also be used as necklaces, which accent the harness designs. The Pretty Petunias are topped of with a glimmering Swarovski Crystal in the center of each ultrasuede flower. The two-tone trend is heating up for summer and we couldn’t be more excited for the new contrasting Big Bow Harnesses. Our favorites include the Zebra Harness with the Perfect Pink Bow, as well as the Platinum Series. The center of the bows have a shimmering square Swarovski Crystal that catches the light as your dog trots along, casting a dazzling ray of light. These harnesses coordinate perfectly with the plain Ultrasuede leash as well as the Big Bow leashes. To complete your dog’s fashionable new look for spring/summer, we recommend adding a matching hair bow, embellished with Rosebuds or crystals. Big Bow Crystal Two-Tone Dog Harness - Zebra and Perfect Pink

The perfect dog carrier for you and your dog exists! But with so many to choose from, how do you narrow it down? 

Many pet owners love the idea of showing off their pets with fashionable wardrobes. The idea of clothing for dogs began with military dogs, to save the dogs from hot and cold environments. Oh, how far weve come! Now, dressing dogs in tutus, crystal collars and designer bows seems like the norm (at least to some of us dog lovers!) When it comes to dog clothes, there are a huge variety of occasions that call for special attire including clothing designed for parties, weddings, Halloween etc., allowing our special little friends to join in the festivities! Daily varieties may include dog sweaters, coats, shirts, sports apparel and dresses.  Picking out the correct size may seem difficult, but we always recommend using the chest (girth) measurement above all others so that your dog will feel comfortable in their new designer duds. All of our fashionable dog attire is available in a wide variety of sizes, so even your large dog can join in the fun!
