These could possibly be the coolest dog shoes I have ever seen. Really. But beyond their rugged exterior, these bark 'n boots grip trex by Ruff Wear are extremely important, functional paw wear for your pooch.
These supportive shoes for your dog help protect their paws from extreme outdoor elements (heat, sharp objects, etc), have amazing traction (great for hiking!) and are comfortable and durable. They have an air mesh upper inspired by human shoes (that is breathable, durable, and drainable) and a high performance Vibram® sole. They also have a nonmarking sole which is perfect for taking your dog out on your boat or for wearing inside the house.
The boots are easy fit with an expansion gusset and a Sure Cinch closure strap to help them stay on their paws. They also have a reflective trim for added safety and nighttime visibility.
The bottom line... if you are active with your dog, protect their paws with the best boots out there, these grip trex. They are extremely well made, comfortable, and they look great too.
Available in sizes XXS to XXL and in red or blue, make sure you measure your dog according to their instructions. And learn more about the awesome benefits of these boots for your dog.
April is here... and that means lots of rain (around here, at least!) I discovered a unique (semi-odd) but practical product for your dog this spring, called the Pet Umbrella.
It's exactly what you would expect it to be... an umbrella to protect your dog from getting wet. This pet umbrella features a dog leash which easily attaches to your pet's collar. A clear umbrella body, trimmed in classic plaid, allows full view of your dog while walking.
On sale for $19.99, this could be a great product if you have a dog who hates the rain (like mine does!)
Sometimes I like to dress my dog in different outfits. He has a lot of collars and matching leashes, as well as, t-shirts, tank tops and sweaters. Recently, I was in a "punky" kind of a mood and got him a rock t-shirt from K9duds.com.
This shirt is great, not to mention cool. Not only do they make t-shirts, but they also make tank tops and hoodie sweatshirts too for those cooler days and nights. What I like most about K9duds.com is that not only can your dog look and feel like a rock star, but so can you. Yes, you and your pup can be "twins" while walking the streets in matching rock star shirts. How cool! For sure, heads will turn when people see that!
Many of the items from K9duds.com, can be found in various retailers across the the United States, Europe, Canada and Japan. Of course you can also purchase items online. There is free shipping on all orders over $200.
Living in the northeast, we are fortunate enough to experience all of the seasons. Spring is warm, summer can be hot and unbearable, fall is chilly and crisp and winter... well, can be down right miserable! It can be even worse if you don't have a warm coat to wear.
Dogs feel the same way. They still have to go out, and they want to be warm when they have to leave the comfort of their warm house, or in my dog's case, his fleece bed with a hood. There is no question in my mind that my dog is warm enough, now that he has a custom made fleece coat from Passionpets.com.au.
This coat is awesome. It covers his very long back, and it even has a little flap at the neck that can stand up to keep the wind and cold off his neck and the bottom of his head. The padded straps are fastened with velcro for easy on and off.
The coats from Passionpets.com.au are all handmade in Australia from the finest quality polar fleece. They are so soft to the touch and the looks of them make heads turn. When ordering your dog's new fleece coat from Passionpets.com.au, make sure you add in the comment section "the swanky pup" and you'll get 10% off your order.
Show your team spirit with a custom-made football hoodie
Here in Philadelphia we have a lot of team spirit when it comes to football and with this custom-made fleece hoodie from Bloomingtails Dog Boutique my dog can show off his team spirit too. Made out of warm and high quality NFL licensed fabric, this pull over hoodie will keep your dog warm all year round and he will be a hit every football Sunday. Best of all, this hoodie is custom-made based on your dog’s measurements so you will be guaranteed to have a great fitting piece of clothing for your swanky pup.
I love the quality and construction on this hoodie and it is perfect for hard-to-fit dogs like my dachshund mix Baxter since it is made to fit based on the measurements you send in. If you are looking for a warm, high quality, custom-made hoodie for your pooch then I highly recommend this football hoodie from Bloomingtails Dog Boutique.
This hoodie is already selling for a great low price ranging from $20-$23 and take advantage of the generous coupon code by entering TSP at check out for 10% off your purchase.
St. Patty’s day is right around the corner and now is the time to start shopping for that perfect outfit to help your pooch celebrate in style. My choice for Baxter is the Iron Cross tee from Punk Rock Dogg. It is a black fitted t-shirt with a large, green iron cross and it is perfect for the dog that wants to celebrate St. Patty’s day with an attitude.
The shirt is made out of high-quality cotton and the construction on the shirt is well done and impressive. I took Baxter’s measurements and based on his chest size I ordered him a small, which to my pleasant surprise, fit him better than any t-shirt I have ever gotten for him (he is a mutt and half dachshund so he is hard to fit). Between the amazing quality, the fit of this t-shirt and the punk rock edge, this is a must-have for the deviant dog.
Not in the St. Patty’s day spirit? Not to worry, the Iron Cross shirt comes in 4 different colors and they have sizes both large and small. Also, they make t-shirts for people too so you and your pooch can match!
Punk Rock Dogg is having a 20% off sale now until March 17th pricing this t-shirt at only $15.20!
During those cold winter nights there is nothing I like more than getting in my pjs and curling up under the covers, but my dog does not have the same luxury. He gets in his dog bed with no pajamas and no covers, but now that I have discovered the custom fleece pajamas from Bloomingtails Dog Boutique that will no longer be the case. Now he has warm and snuggly pajamas of his own to wear to bed and he looks absolutely adorable in them too!
Not only are these pajamas warm and as cute as can be, they are also made out of high quality no-pill/low-pill fleece with a soft coordinating knit ribbing so it will be comfortable around the tummy, neck and legs. There are also many great prints to choose from (I personally love the camo prints) and they are custom made so that they will fit your pup perfectly. They are available for small/toy dogs and the slightly larger Chinese Crested size, but be sure to measure your dog carefully to determine sizing as both the front and back legs need to fit into these pajamas.
We love these adorable and comfy dog pajamas and you will be able to rest assured that your pooch is sleeping in style and comfort thanks to Bloomingtails Dog Boutique!

I just got back from a week long trip to Disney World. It was awesome, and the shopping was even better! I didn't realize what cool stuff Disney makes, including items for your pets!
One of my favorite items down there were vintage Mickey shirts. I ended up getting one for each member of my family, and I also found one for my dog! This rhinestone-studded vintage Mickey T-shirt is perfect for your pup and comes in sizes XS, S, and M. Currently on sale for $8.99, it truly is a big bargain.

As a swanky small dog owner safety and style are on the top of my list when it comes to my dog. Toy dog owners especially need to consider safety when walking their dogs because of the risk of trachea issues with pulling on their necks, making conventional collars an unsafe option. Most toy breeds are safest using a harness, and if you are using a harness don’t you want one that is both stylish, unique and well made?
My absolute favorite is the Diva Dog Harness Vest from Bloomingtails Dog Boutique, which is made with comfort and style in mind. It is much more than a simple walking harness, but it is an adorable outfit as well! Each vest is custom made so you won’t have to worry about seeing another dog wearing your pups outfit at the dog park or out on the town. Also they are fully lined so that they retain their shape and have a beautiful matching ribbon down the center with a D-ring where you can attach the leash. It has Velcro tabs, which close around the chest and tummy, so it is easy to put on and take off and it is double sewn for extra security.
All of the harness vests are embellished with matching ribbons and/or buttons, making each one stylish, unique and original. I tried the Breast Cancer awareness harness vest that had the signature breast cancer pink ribbons and adorable coordinating polka dot pink ribbons and bows for embellishments, and there are plenty of other great prints to chose from. Bloomingtails Dog Boutique also provides customer service above and beyond what you have experienced in the past, making this shopping experience extremely enjoyable.
Besides being safe, one-of-a-kind, and stylish, this harness vest is also extremely affordable, ranging from just $20-24! Best of all enter TSP10 at checkout for a generous 10% off discount.
We got our first real snow here last night, so I got my whole family dressed to go out and play. Of course this includes my dog, who loves to run and play in the snow.
I like to dress my dog in a sweater and boots when she is out running in the snow. Why? Not only does it look super-cute, but there is actually a very practical reason for this too...
Our dogs paws have pads that are very sensitive. The ice and snow can be very cold for their sensitive paws. If you use salt or a de-icer to melt the snow and ice, this can cut and burn your dogs paws. The snow and ice can also get stuck between your dogs paws and freeze, causing pain while they walk. So put them in boots (and why not get cute ones!)
I love these adorable Brown and Tan boots from the Sassy Pup (also available in black and silver, white and tan, pink and white and pink and tan). Made of PU leather, they have rubber soles and zippers closed in the front for quick and easy on and off. They were designed for comfort and fit, and come in a set of four with travel bag. Available in 3 sizes (XS, S, and M), these boots are currently 35% off (only $12.99!)
Mariah Carey was spotted in the most recent issue of People magazine with her best friend and pooch Jack vacationing in Aspen. Mariah looks great in her army green snowsuit, but Jack Jr. steals the spotlight in his swanky camo coat.
Want to steal this look for your dog without spending a fortune? Check out this camo coat vest from Pamper Me Puppy on sale for $46.95. It features the same great print and furry hood that Jack was sporting, but without the sleeves that tend to irritate many dogs. Also, it has a snap closure making it easy to take on and off your pup. Even if you can’t make it to Aspen, your dog will be a fashion icon wherever you go!
I was recently reading US Magazine which featured Kristen Davis (Charlotte from Sex and the City) and her 3 adorable dogs. They were all wearing Burberry Plaid Wool Coats and looked so cute.
The coat comes in a number of sizes to fit tiny dogs to large dogs, and prices range from $90 to $145 through Uptown Pets. (The Burberry website features a different type of sweater that is over $200 -- we think this one is just as cute for less!)
Made of Merino wool and machine washable, this coat will be the perfect accessory for your ultra-trendy dog. Not only will they look fabulous, but they will stay nice and warm, too!

This winter when you are bundling up in your coat, don’t forget to keep your pooch warm too with the Fashion Pet fleece coat! Mr. Waggles, a 13-year-old cocker spaniel, tested out this coat for us and he looked SO adorable and did not mind wearing it for walks and going outside to potty. It is made of faux suede with a fleece lining and just so happens to match my Ugg boots perfectly! The coat is very warm and soft, easy to clean and it stays on with Velcro so you will not need to wrestle your dog into his coat every time you take him out. Also, it comes in camel (my favorite), pink and blue and the sizes range from extra small to large.
This coat is essential for any swanky pup without a thick fur coat of his own or who gets so cold he shakes all over when you take him outside in the winter. He will be the warmest and most stylish pup on the block!
