Posted by: | Comments
Carrying your dog around is almost like a fashion accessory these days. Celebrities like Nicky Hilton and her sister Paris were spotted at a cafe in New York dressing up their dogs with cute dog accessory. It is also a hit on runways of big cities like Paris, London and New York.
Besides being a fashion accessory, a dog carrier acts as a convenient way to transport your dog from one destination to another. These dog carriers comes in different sizes, shapes and styles. For example, if you would like to look sporty you can opt for dog shouler carriers, dog backpack carrier or dog stroller sports. Dog stroller sports are like any other baby strollers but it carries only pet like dogs and cats of course.
While the market carries so many of these dog carriers, which carrier you choose depends largely upon the breed and the size of your dog, and the lifestyle you wish to include your dog in. If you have a budget, there are a selection of different dog carriers in the market. Or if you can afford a better looking and a more comfortable dog carrier, you can look for dog designer carriers online or in your local pet store.
Here are a few things you must look for before buying a dog carrier.
1) Do a research and get as much information from the manufacturers or retailer before making your purchase. The three most important aspect you should look for are safety, comfort and security.
2) When shopping for a dog carrier you should also need to pay close attention to the size, length, and weight of your dog. Not all dog carriers will fit your dog perfectly. For instance, a big dog may not fit in the standard size strollers, backpack and designer dog carriers. Big dogs are normally better to be carried by crates . While on the other hand, small to medium size dogs may fit comfortably into any dog shoulder carriers, dog backpack carriers, or any carriers at all.
3) To know whether the carrier is right for your dog, the dog carrier must have adequate room to move around and yet not too big to allow him to move around inside especially if you intend to bring your dog for hiking and jogging.
4) It is also pivotal to know that your dog carrier has good ventilation because if you don’t, your dog may end up getting sick and dehydrated especially during hot summer days. Ensure they get plenty of fresh air when they are caged up in the crate or while they are being carried. Check for detachable shoulder straps, durability, rubberized fabric and four mesh viewing panels. And more importantly, check whether the dog carriers can be cleaned easily.
While there are many expensive dog designer carriers available in the market, you can also find a lot of inexpensive dog stroller, dog shoulder carriers and dog stroller sports available in the market. Although they are slightly cheaper than those designer’s carriers, you can still look hip and cool carrying them around.

Groovy Dog and Puppy Accessories!
Posted by: | Comments
Many people have said that it is in fact “A Dog’s World” and after some research on the Internet, I am beginning to believe it!
My writing assignment was to find some groovy dog accessories and share them with you. I, being the ignorant dog person who I am, made the assumption that it would take a bit of time to find such unique items for the canine social group. Boy was I mistaken. Upon entering cyberspace I was inundated with the most interesting, and at times bizarre, doggie accessories out there. Who comes up with this stuff? Zit cream? I mean really? Who Knew?
I don’t have unlimited space to share with you the zillion dog accessories I discovered, so I have chosen the ones that possibly state the essence of a dog’s personality.
The first accessory I stumbled across brought back memories for me. It is a mood collar for dogs. Made with an embossed leather strap, and adorned with a mood stone that reacts to your pooch’s body heat, this accessory will send you back to the 1970’s. It even comes with a set of instructions that tell you what your pooch is feeling according to color. Red means he is agitated. Dark blue means he is happy. Amber-brown can mean he is nervous and needs to be fed or walked. This is just an example of the many other colors they describe on the list for his moods. The collar may be sold as a novelty, but it sure is groovy!
How about an ecopure spa relaxing bath set for your pooch? I mean after a hard day of chewing your shoes, eating, sleeping, sleeping and chewing some more, I’m sure he could use a nice relaxing spa package. Complete with aromatherapy shampoo, sage aromatherapy spray and a candle, your pet can be pampered and bathed at the same time.
After your doggie’s spa bath and aromatherapy treatment, you wouldn’t want to deprive him of a fluffy terry cloth robe with satin trim would you? The one that I found is made by the American Kennel Club. It is luxurious and is the perfect accessory for your pet.
If your dog isn’t into spa treatments and is aptly named “Killer,” “Moose,” or “Bruiser,” then how about sitting on the couch with dad and having a beer. Yes, you heard me correctly. I said a beer. It is named appropriately Doggy Beer, is manufactured in the USA and is a nutritious alternative to the real stuff. But if man can drink a bottle of suds now and then, man’s best friend can join in the action too. Oh, and if you dog wants to drink his Doggy Beer and eat a hot dog, Nathan’s Famous Hot Dogs sells all beef pet treats for his hot dog cravings. Throw in a pack of Woofy Pop popcorn that comes in a variety of flavors and he will be set. Now there is no excuse for your pet to whine during the Super Bowl.
If you live near water or have a pool, then this is an accessory for your pet that is not only groovy but a necessity. I found a pet saver life jacket. It slips over your pet’s body and has a strap for you to grab for lifting him out of the water. The colors are bright so you can find your furry friend easily. What a clever way to show your dog you care.
I never realized how much fun it was to have a dog! Just seeing all the groovy accessories for them makes me want to go out and purchase some beer and hot dogs for my friend’s pets. Maybe for my next article I will have to do some investigating on cat’s stuff!

Dog Accessories – The Basics And The Extras
Posted by: | Comments
When you buy a new dog, there are certain essentials that have to be bought. These are required so that you can take proper care of you dog and in certain cases comply with local laws regarding breeding dogs. It is up to the owner to decide which accessories that he needs. Some are very basic essentials while some are just for the convenience of using it.
There are several accessories that are very essential and very obvious. These include bowls for food and water for the dog. Slightly larger dogs tend to move their food bowls about as they eat and this makes a lot of noise and finally requires the owner to search for the bowl every time the dog needs to be fed. This leads to a lot of frustration. This can be resolved by using ceramic bowls which are heavy and hence difficult to move. The ceramic bowls have one flaw which is they can be broken easily. We can also use a strong plastic bowl with a rubber lining which will prevent the bowl from sliding all over the place. This will help the dog enjoy his meal in peace.
You will need a leash for a new dog. A collar will also be a recommended addition. There are many designs available and you can choose to your taste and you will also have to take into account the size and strength of the dog during selection. The collar should have a license or identity tag that will give out your name and contact details in the case that your dog gets lost. If you live in a major city life New York you will require the modern doggie convenience instrument or the pooper scooper. Many cities have laws that ban owners from allowing their dogs to excrete on city streets and some cities even impose heavy fines for failure to follow such rules.
There are many optional accessories that you can choose from for your new dog. These items may not be necessary but will help in making your life a little bit easier and your dog’s life a little bit more fun. Some items include the food bowls and water dishes which refill based on gravity which are very useful. Some purposeless ideas include the dog bandana which is more of a decoration for the dog.
An item that many owners have found to be very useful especially in the hotter climatic regions is the dog booties. This might seem like a pathetically useless item, but believe me it has its value. It does a great job in protecting the sensitive pads in a dog’s foot from whatever rocky and rough terrain that it may encounter. This invention may be scoffed upon in cool climate regions but will be really appreciated in places like desert cities Phoenix where the hot pavements can easily fry an egg and without doubt boil one’s feet.

Dog Apparel | Convenient and Comfortable Shoes – Saddle Style Designer Dog Shoes
Posted by: | Comments
To add convenience and trend to your dog’s feet you can buy the pretty and modish shoes which are easily available these days in the market. While I was surfing through the internet I found that there is a final clearance sale where they are selling many dog accessories. I just had a glance on all the accessories. Although I wanted to buy many accessories but my priorities were some attire and some shoes for my darling puppy! As I always have the habit of wearing a pair of slippers while I am at home and fancy and stylish shoes while I am officially dressed, so I wanted some good and pretty shoes for my puppy also. Her old shoes were worn out and I could not let her feet get spoilt. When I surfed for the shoes I saw that there are so many cute and latest types of dog shoes which were reasonably priced and were made of the best quality material. It was also mentioned very clearly that they were hand made which gave an additional excellence in the finishing of the shoes which also means that they were made with extreme patience. The shoes are very cautiously and carefully made using a paw shaped form which is known as a last; and every shoe is said to be independently expanded and given the form of a paw. The procedures of making the dog shoes are exactly the same as the procedures which are used in making the shoes which we wear. The only difference is that the dog shoes are made in small scales where as our shoes are made in much larger scales.
The sole of the dog shoes is non-slip which means they are very safe for our pets and the foothold provides safety against pricks, heat and cold. The ankle belt is adaptable and also the spongy, soft and stretchy stocking guard helps to keep the shoe cozily fit into our pet’s paw which additionally helps to protect the paw from twisting and turning or even the paw coming out of the shoe.
I placed an order for some beautiful attire and some matching shoes for my puppy through the internet and further all the products were shipped within a few days. I had placed an order for the Saddle Style Designer Dog Shoes which were priced for $ 25.99. These were excellently designed and were matching to some of the attire which I also placed an order for. Now my cute little puppy will also look pretty in her new pair of shoes because these shoes were made of a faux leather fabric which was also very easy to wash and clean. To give more protection to the dog’s feet a “tongue” is featured in between the fasteners. One thing which I was very particular about before placing the order for the shoes was that I measured the paw of my puppy very carefully so that the shoes would fit her very comfortably.

Fashionable Dog Beds to Suit Your Home
Posted by: | Comments
Fashionable Dog Beds to Suit Your Home
Most definitely, your dog needs his own place to sleep. You could share your room with him, but if you already have a spouse or child, or when your dog is getting old, he really needs his own place to rest, lie down, and sleep.
How to Shop for Dog Beds
The chosen dog bed should perfect for both your dog and your living room. To help you during your shopping, here are some few suggestions:
1. Know what your dog wants. The outdoor dog beds are perfect for pooches who spend their time outside. Outdoor beds can range from crate pads, patio beds, pet cots, to canine coolers.
2. Determine the size of your dog. If you’re keeping a Saint Bernard, you’ll practically need a new couch. You must be able to match the size of the bed to that of your dog. If your small dog still has some growing to do, you should think about choosing something on the larger size to save you from upsizing later on.
3. It’s better if it can be machine washed. Knowing how dogs can get so rowdy and dirty, their day bed will also be soiled. To make it a lot easier for you to clean, pick those that can be washed through a regular washing machine. This way, you don’t need to fork out for laundry services.
What to Look for in a Dog Bed
1. Comfort. Dogs need to be comfortable enough in their bed to relax and sleep. If they won’t get the comfort they need, they will surely become restless. A sleep deprived dog can never be good!
2. Weather Resistant. The best dog beds are those that will recover well from moisture. A scratch resistant base of the bed is also desirable, so no damage occurs when the bed slides around on the floor.
3. It should be durable. The bed must be strong enough to comfortably hold the weight of the dog, as well as when he tries to move around during his sleep.
4. It must be able to conserve heat. Dogs are very sensitive and can sometimes find it difficult to maintain body temperature. If the weather turns very cold, they tend to chill. Their bed should be soft and comfortable, but will also allow them to hold their body heat.
Since these beds will become prominent fixtures of your house, it would be ideal if you could select one that goes together with your other furniture. It should complement the overall theme of your home.
When your dog has rested enough in his comfortable bed, and more than ready to play outside, make sure that he has the right dog accessories. Puppia can help with finding the ideal dog bed, as well as all other aspects of dog fashion for your beloved pup.
