I recently opened a package from Dog and Bark and the funniest thing happened - my dogs immediately sat down. I believe it's because they could smell the yummy from the treats in my package. I got Bark Liver and Want a Cookie treats and they were instantly smitten by them. I think they liked Bark Liver best but then again, they are loving the Want a Cookie Treats as well.
Dog and Bark offers high end luxury pet products for the Cosmopolitan Canine who settles for only the latest of Hollywoods styles and Products. They carry Cruelty-free and environmentally conscious products that your pet will love. I know my dogs did!
Check them out. Not only do they have tasty treats, they carry a variety of gorgeous items for the canine connoisseur.
Any dog can sport a bandana, but its the stylish dog that wears a Jumperz! So what is the difference you may ask? Well, a bandana is a swatch of fabric you tie around your dog's neck - if your dog is like mine, it comes off pretty quickly, interferes with his collar and leash and moves around the dog's neck. A Jumperz by contrast is a wonderful invention! It has a "tunnel" that the collar slides through - so that when you fasten the collar, the Jumperz stays put. It is much more comfortable for the dog as he isn't sporting a collar and a bandana, but a collar/bandana in ONE! It stays in place, and cannot fall off! Brilliant!
Jumperz are produced by AlleDogTogs's Shop - a shop with a charitable heart - $1 from the sale of each Jumperz goes to Wire Fox Terrier Rescue Midwest. Jumperz come in all sorts of wonderful patterns and themes -- and the latest range is jeweled and denim - they are gorgeous!
Jumperz are so affordable - between $2.50 and $12 - that you can buy a whole bunch of them. Take a look today.

From patriotic bikinis, to adorable ribbons, bows and jewelry, to great red, white, and blue collars and bandanas, they have a great selection.

In this tough economic climate, I am going out of my way to support small businesses and Woofs and Whiskers - a home-based custom pet clothing and accessories business, is just the type of enterprise I love to support. The amazing young woman behind Woofs and Whiskers is Christina, an ardent animal lover, Mom of a handful of rescued doxies and a beagle, a few cats, birds and fish. Three of Christina's dogs are licensed therapy dogs - together they visit the elderly and the sick bringing much needed cheer. Christina is also a wiz in the kitchen and on the sewing machine - so it was the merging of her great love and talents that resulted in Woofs and Whiskers.
Woofs & Whiskers creates top-quality custom items for you and your pet. Christina's attention to detail and special embellishments make her finished items "pawsitively" unique and adorable! Axel, my fox terrier, was the lucky recipient of one of Woof and Whiskers custom collars. The collar has a layer of interfacing inside to make it extra strong and the fabric is sparkly and eye-catching. Christina can custom make your dog or cat's collar with any theme/color in mind - you can choose your own fabric or send her your own. Collars are very reasonably priced between $13 and $17 and she'll even give you a discount if you recycle your old one. In addition to these fetching collars, you can also purchase bows, neckties, bandanas, dresses and bellybands! And the most delightful, warm winter coats.

Forgive my opinion, but I have always viewed doggy-dress-up as overly posh and sissified. Sure, for the thin-coated dog, winter coats are necessary, but pink ruffles and sequined bow ties? Sorry, my girls are dogs, not dolls.
But with the MLB playoffs right around the corner, I may be able to make an exception.
It isn't too posh or the least bit sissified to support your favorite baseball team with the officially licensed MLB dog jerseys.
There are no rhinestones involved. These casual canine clothes are made from 100% micro-mesh polyester, and feature your favorite team's logo and official patch (notice the Phillies are
representing here). And MLB jerseys come in sizes
that accommodate all of our four-legged fans from the Bull Mastiff to the Teacup Poodle (see chart below).
small = length 12-16 girth 12-16 neck 6-10"
medium = length 16-20" girth 16-19" neck 10-14"
large = length 20-26" girth 19-26" neck 14-18
XL = length 26-30" girth 26 to 32" neck 18 to 22"
Let's not forget that football season is well on its way. Officially licensed NFL dogwear is also available, not to mention basketball, hockey, and of course, NASCAR. Note that I was unable to find a site that offered all leagues and teams, so here are a few links to aid you in your search for spirited, yet practical dog apparel.
I love dressing my son's in Ralph Lauren, but until recently, I had no idea that they also make clothes for pups too!
Ralph Lauren sells their signature mesh polos and mesh rugbey's, along with cashmere sweaters, raincoats, and more. Currently all of their clothing is on sale, so this is a great time to pick up one of these classic pieces.
This striped mesh rugby is on sale from $45 down to $33.75 and is available in sizes extra small through large. A good deal for a classic shirt if you ask me!
I know, it sounds cheesy. Dressing like your dog can't be cool, right? Well, Urban Softwear makes custom clothes for you and your dog (and kids, too, if you have them) that are hip, cool, and fun to match.
Create your own custom dog shirt (and others for you and your family to match if you want) by choosing the emblem, color and style that you like. There are so many cute styles to choose from (hearts, flowers, crowns, and more for girls, peace signs, daggers, army/navy, stars, and skulls for boys). At only $23, this is a great custom piece for your dog.
Made of cotton in a baby rib knit, available in sizes small through 2xx, and in every single color choice out there! Check out these great dog shirts and make a bigger statement by creating a matching tee or tank for you or your kids!
Last weekend, I spent time changing my closets. I put all of my sweaters away and pulled out my shorts and tank tops. Of course, I also had to get rid of stuff that I know I'm not going to wear anymore. So, now I'm left with an empty closet -- guess I have to go shopping.
My dog has a similar issue. Yes, he has clothes that he only wears in the winter, but it's not uncommon for the spring season to throw us in a tizy and give us cooler weather days. For those times, I am very glad that my dog will have something to keep the chill off of him. At Shanabe.com, I found the perfect light weight sweater for him. It's very colorful and, I have to admit, he looks very handsome in it. His sweater is the pocket polo, so he also looks like he is ready to hit the tennis courts.
All of the clothing from Shanabe.com are made with a combination of rayon and spandex for that perfect fit. So, if your dog could use a new spring wardrobe, be sure to check out Shanabe.com.
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.
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.
Around my house, NCAA basketball seems to be on all day and night. This year, I'm not as excited, as my beloved Maryland Terrapins aren't in the race, but I know many of your schools are still in the running.
Why not get your dog in the spirit and dress in them in an awesome NCAA jersey? Pet Company Express has tee-shirts, jerseys, rain coats, collars, toys, dog beds, and more to represent most of the major NCAA teams.
All merchandise is officially licensed and is available in a number of sizes for the right fit for your dog.

You know the old saying, "April showers bring May flowers?" Well, April (and Spring) are just around the corner, so now is the time to get ready for all of those wet walks in the rain.
One of the cutest raincoats I have seen for dogs is this adorable Nantucket Stripe raincoat from Scooter's Friends. This fully reversible raincoat has water-repellent Italian fabric on the outside, and is lined with a classic Ralph Lauren Nantucket stripe cotton on the reverse. With denim nickel eyelet trim and a pocket for treats, your dog will certainly make some heads turn in this beautiful coat. Available in a range of sizes (8 through 18) and 4 different styles, you are sure to find one that is perfect for your dog! The best part? They are washable! How can you go wrong?!
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!

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!)
High School Musical star Ashley Tisdale is known for her looking great, and now her pooch Maui is stepping out in style too! Featured on People.com, here she is with her swanky pup, a poodle mix, out and about in Los Angeles. Her pooch is adorable in her pink t-shirt, right on trend for Valentine's Day.
Want to steal her look? Find this Juicy Couture tee with "I love bones + Juicy" printed on the back for $30 from Neiman Marcus. It is also available in blue for those male doggies who want to enjoy couture too!
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!
Find it at PetCareRx and get free shipping on orders over $35!
