Nordstrom Anniversary Sale starts today! (with stuff for dogs!)
One of my favorite sales of the year is the Nordstrom Anniversary sale. They have a ton of stuff for everyone in your family, including your dog, at about 40% off (and it's all new stuff for the fall/winter!)
Check out the beautiful crystal collar charms, as well as the great, luxurious pet beds and blankets, collars, and more. Most items are well-priced between $10 and $20.
The new Juicy Couture line was released recently and there are tons of adorable (and may I say, lots of pink!) items.
I love this Juicy girls jersey dog tank. At an affordable $35 (hey, it's Juicy!) it's a cheap way to get your girl in Juicy this summer.
Check out all of the adorable bags, collars, toys, clothing, and more on Funny Fur! Should you decide to go a little crazy, enjoy free shipping when you spend $200.
The Boutique also has many more products to get your four-legged friend ready for summer. There are summer-themed toys like the ice-cream cone and summer cotton collars. As a bonus, the Boutique is offering 20% the entire site through Wednesday, May 13th. Use promo code 'beach' when you check out.
I am addicted to the Internet and spend many hours searching for sites offering unique dog products. My most recent find is Ginger Pup Lane.
The site offers many typical dog products, like leashes, grooming supplies and beds, but the products definitely embody the store's tag line--culture and couture. For example, there is the Pin Up Bloom Bed for the smaller dogs:
So cute! Another unique find, especially for all the Marvel Comic fans, are the limited edition puppy products featuring such classics as Captain America and The Incredible Hulk. Click here for more information.
And on that next special occasion, treat your pup to the Cookies and Cream Pup Pie! This site is a family operated organization based in Long Beach, California. Check out the site today and get 15% off your first order with the code MODDOG, compliments of Modern Dog Magazine.
I love Juicy for dogs (though my own dog is a bit too stocky to fit into most Juicy products!). Juicy recently re-launched their interactive website featuring new products for dogs that are gorgeous.
From toys, to bags, to beds, to sweaters (and even leg warmers!) they have a number of products to choose from.
And check out the site, which has traditional e-commerce features, but with new exciting elements such as “Club Couture”, Juicy’s new online community where members can interact with the site and with each other; and “Love G&P”, Pam & Gela’s personal blog where they offer their latest product finds, favorite new obsessions, Juicy news and hot music picks.
Have any of you ever heard of Rue La La? It is my favorite new website -- offering all kids of awesome boutiques at 50-80% off retail prices. (All name brand, manufacturer-direct items.)
Just a few minutes ago the Juicy Couture boutique opened up, with amazing dog apparel (for boy and girl dogs) as well as dog bowls and collars. Prices for these items normally retail at $45-75 per item, but currently are priced at $20-$30!
To browse the boutique and make a purchase, you must be a Rue La La member. We would be happy to get you immediate membership if you email Jen with "Rue La La" in your subject line. Then browse the Juicy (and other fab boutiques) and make some amazing finds for your dog! (But hurry! At these prices, items sell out VERY quickly, and the boutique closes 24 hours from now!)
I love finding unique, innovative dog shops where I can shop for Jax and find gifts for my fellow dog lovers.I have found such a store in Barker and Ball—a one-stop couture shop that carries all kinds of luxury goods including beds, treats, toys and gifts.This UK based store offers luxurious, unique items for you and your pooch.They have a wide assortment of gifts that include designer dog mugs with a pop-art photo of different dog breeds and dog-themed key chains.
The store also has some cool toys.My favorite toy is the Soft Bone Dog Toy.This handmade toy is made of 100% cotton and comes in a blue, green and orange. The toys also come in two sizes-small and large (10 inches and 13 inches respectively).
This bone is filled with hypo-allergenic polyester fiber and a squeaker, to further entice your dog to play.Now you may be asking what is so special about a handmade, cotton dog toy. Well this one is filled with lavender!The scent is delightful—subtle, yet refreshing.I love lavender, but I wondered if Jax would take to this soothing scent.After a few deep sniffs and nudging the bone around, Jax joyfully picked up his new toy and brought it to his bed—a sure sign of satisfaction.
Check out the soft bone dog toy at Barker and Ball and save 10% on all purchases with the coupon code SWANKYPUP! For the non-UK shoppers, the site conveniently converts the £ to $, with the “choose currency” feature at the bottom of the website.
Going away for the weekend? Take your dog and go in style!
With the arrival of summer, many of you will be taking summer vacations, hopefully with your pet! Should they be tagging along, make sure they go in style!
I love this new Jet Setter flight carrier. This fabulous roller bag fits perfectly under the seat on an airplane in front of you and can be completely secured as a car seat. Its plush interior is fully removable and machine washable. The sturdy wheels are removable leaving you with an incredibly light 3.25 pound bag! (Only 5 pounds with wheels). This airline approved carrier has lots of pockets for tickets, treats, wallets, magazines and all of your personal and puppy items.
The Jet Setter is great for car travel, too! It easily straps into the shoulder and lap belt to secure your pooch. The bag is made of patterned fabric and trimmed in pleather.
The bag accommodates pets up to 16 pounds, and other colors include: Turquoise, Blush, Titanium, Black, Taupe, Camouflage, Moss or Espresso.
Creature Comforts makes a ton of other bags too, including handbags and day travel bags. They also have cool slings. Check our their amazing line!
I know many of you with boy dogs find it challenging to find cute and funky boy's clothes. (I have a girl dog, so I don't know personally, but I sort of feel your pain since I have two little boys!)
Anyway, I came across the amazing Marvel Comic line of clothing for dogs, which is currently 15% off at Funny Fur.
The Marvel Comics pet collection includes dog apparel, dog carriers, dog collars and leashes, dog beds, and other accessories. The tees are made out of vintage and re-cycled clothing. They are funky and tom-boyish -- great for boy or girl dogs. Check out the entire collection.

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?!
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.
Check out the other adorable Disney items for pets as well!
As a mother to an 11 month old baby girl, I know that I never leave the house without my diaper bag. It's my purse, her changing table, toybox and kitchen when she gets hungry. Well, I recently saw a diaper bag for my dog too, on the Pupcentric.com website. The bag is called the E.B.D. Carry-all and it is AMAZING!!! It's called E.B.D., because in the bag you can carry Everything But the Dog. If you are like me, I take my dog out as often as I can. He comes for rides in the car, he goes to the park and he even has overnight stays at his grandparent's house. For those times, that we need to bring a little extra for him besides his leash and collar, this is the bag I take with me. The bag comes with coordinated and collapsible food and water bowls, an indoor/outdoor blanket, a freezable gel pack to keep treats cool and fresh, and tons of pockets. There are pockets for pens, a canister of hand sanitation wipes, a poop bag dispenser, cell phone or MP3 player, and vet records. You can get the bag monogrammed with your pets name and it even comes with a bone shaped carabineer for easy access to your keys. The bag comes in brown with a pink or blue interior. More colors are becoming available soon. So, the next time you're on the go with your dog, don't forget to grab the E.B.D. Carry-all from Pupcentric.com.

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!
