Step – In Sailor

Step in harnesses are a fantastic selection for summer or warm weather climates.  The breathable fabrics help to keep pups from overheating while the temperatures rise.  Few styles scream summer like the nautical look so when we came across the Sail-A-Way step in harness we just couldn’t resist!!  The harness features a mesh backing to wick moisture and excess heat away while the lightweight breathable cotton exterior provides the perfect canvas for alternating stripes.  Each harness wouldn’t be complete without a stationary nautical top knot and can be selected in either blue or red.  Fashion aside, the Sail-A-Way step in harness is incredibly easy to adjust with the movement of one toggle the harness is perfectly fitted to ensure comfort and safety with every use.  As an added bonus the harness also features a matching but removable 4′ lead.  We love it!!

Tag Your It

I can’t stress the importance of properly tagging your dog enough!!  Yesterday, as I left my home and began traveling to work I noticed a Yorkie walking in the road.  My first thought was “holy smokes” then I collected myself. I pulled the car over as I was worried the dog would be hit by a car and called him.  He quickly scampered over and thank goodness he had a tag that clearly stated his name – address and phone number.  He actually traveled close to 4 miles away from his home over a little more than 12 hours and his parents were worried to death over him (naturally, wouldn’t we all).  In the past we have not carried charms that accept engraving or that can be easily marked with your dog’s information.  After this experience we will concentrate our immediate efforts on finding unusual, trendy and fun ID tags that you and your pooch will adore and be eager to use but they will also serve as a a functional resource if your pooch ever finds himself/herself a stray from home!!

Collar Me Happy

I am a self proclaimed collar junkie!!  I love fun and unique collars partially because every dog regardless of size can enjoy a great collar.  Plus, the collar says so much about the dog’s personality whether it’s trendy, whimsical, serious, or maybe just bad to the bone.  We can’t get enough of a series of collars designed by the Maitland sisters in Hollywood, CA.  Their designs are incredibly creative and they leave you wondering how do they come up with such unique designs…Well the answer to that is simple…Everywhere!!  They take inspiration from fashion, music, movies, and entertainment and marry that with traditional classic functional designs to make one rockin’ collar!!  For the pup with attitude you’ll love the Happy Skulls or the four-paw sweetheart will adore the Tender Heart (this just so happens to be the same collar and lead set Dixie from Animal Planet has from us!!).  If your pooch loves a little crystal glam with a touch of whimsy twist the Daisy Bloom Bling is perfect or if your pooch is a cowboy or cowgirl that just won’t be tamed the Rodeo Star is a must!!  Check out the collection and please let us know what you think!!

Little Dog – Big World

Being a tiny dog is a lot like a being 5′5″ woman (take it from me, I am one) trying to find jeans.  At the risk of sounding like Goldie-locks they are either too long – too short but they are never just right!!  The same holds true for tiny dogs most toys  and bowls are just way too big for them and collars forget about it…The buckle is usually bigger than the dogs entire neck!!  Good news…It may require a little digging but finally designers are answering the call of tiny pups!! We found the most darling itsy bitsy bowls which are available in pinkblue, or pink leopard and they are just the perfect size for the tiniest pampered pooches!!  If playtime is what your petite pup craves try the Sweet Pals and Little Friends toy collections these teeny toys max out at just 3.5″ in length!!  Then for the daunting task of collar or harness shopping we love Susan Lanci’s Ultrasuede collars.  They are so lightweight and feature a streamline buckle plus they have fabulously fun adornments check out our favs…The Cupcake Cheer and Jolly Roger!! If you prefer a harness, you can’t go wrong with a step in harness and we just love the new nylon variety…Here’s a few we can’t get enough of…The Floral BurstDaisy Doodle, and Sunburst Dots!!

A Little Pick Me Up

Picking up after your pup is the neighborly thing to do not to mention it’s also the law in many areas.  With the right tools this unfavorable task can become quick – easy – and convenient.  Opposed to using traditional plastic grocery store bags specially designed pick up bags are brightly colored to appear more fashionable and to make it clear to nosy bystanders that you are in fact picking up.  The pickup bags are always freshly scented almost immediately eliminating any foul odors.  The selection of bags seems endless…Designer Bags on a Roll are fantastic for people that like to attach the bags right on the leash or belt loop.  For those who prefer to take them as needed perhaps a Box of Bags would be best where the user simply removes the bags as needed and leaves the box behind.  Then for the on-the-go hound we love the Doggie Walk Capsules as each plastic capsule holds one bag and you can store them in all of your favorite places so one is always at arms reach.  All the bags are earth-friendly and are biodegrade so you can feel great about using them as well.   We promise once you get using them…You’ll wonder how you ever got along without them!!  To check out our entire selection of clean up accessories Click Here.

Step-In Time

Harnesses are a new growing trend especially in the world of small dogs and choosing the right one for your needs can be daunting.   Step-In Harnesses have become incredibly popular for their ease and style.  The pup simply steps in – you pull the toggle down to secure them and they are off and running in no time.  Step-Ins are great for smaller dogs as the leather is rolled to not feel overwhelming or cumbersome for petite pups.  While function is essential the step-in harnesses are incredibly fun and trendy with styles ranging from irresistibly sweet cupcakes, adorable hearts and stars to hip Buddhas and bad to the bone skulls. Each harness comes with an attached 4′ lead making this harness the perfect accessory for every on-the-go hound!
