Do you love to show off your dog, but are challenged on how to do it in a stylish and classic way?
Well, I recently got to sample a beautiful, classic necklace from Belladorn, featuring a photo of my two children, encased in an antique-looking, oxidized sterling silver photo charm with deep-set glass on a sterling silver ball chain.
Have Jody, the owner of Belladorn, create something special featuring your dog(s) alone or with you, your kids, or whatever photo you like.
This piece is a show-stopper. It is beautifully created and special. You will enjoy wearing your special animals and/or family members close to your heart.
Treat yourself with one of these amazing pieces today!
Thanks to Belladorn for providing an Antiqued Deep Set Glass Photo Charm and Necklace for review.
What a perfect way to memorialize your pet with customized beach writing. Have whatever you want written in the white sands of Panama City Beach, Florida. Each 8x10 picture is custom made to your specifications and is as unique as each day at the beach.
These are perfect as a pet memorial picture and if you mention Swanky Pup in your convo to me, I'll give you a 20% discount.
You can even make it a gift for someone with a new pet or who has recently lost a pet. This is a unique item that will make a special addition to your home or the home of a friend or family member. Find them at the Memories store by Karsun.
I know, I did write about this back in December but I was finally able to watch it today and it was wonderful. I honestly did not want to cry at the theater, nor did my better half. Now while this isn't a pet product exactly, if you purchase the exclusive it includes the "Marley & Me" DVD and a Collectible "Marley & Me: Pictures To Chew On" Photo Book. So not only do you get the movie and extras, you also get the photo book. Now for something else to chew on, you can only get this version at Wal-Mart. If you don't plan to shop at Wal-Mart you can still get this excellent movie on Blu-Ray and regular DVD format. The cost for the exclusive edition is $19.99 and the Blu-Ray will run you about $29.99 or less on sale.
See the movie and if you want a little something special, get the exclusive edition.
I love pet photo frames. I must have almost 100 by now but when I found the Forever in our Hearts photo frame I knew I had to have one for my beloved lab that we lost in 2007. You simply upload a photo of your pet and choose what you want the picture to read and that's it. Not to mention that the cost is very affordable, way cheaper than I'd have thought for such a personalized item. I plan to get one of my very own and memorialize our beloved Harley. The canvas measures 5 1/2 by 5 1/2 and comes with an easel for an extra fee. Personalization Mall also has an array of other unique items, all at affordable prices.
I discovered Feel Good Frames last year when writing for another blog on baby and kids products. They sent me a sample of their personalized, hand-made picture frames and ornaments and I was so impressed with the design, quality, and uniqueness of these products.
Recently the company announced that they are coming out with a new line of ornaments and frames for dog-lovers like us! The ornaments are designed with bold dots, stripes & swirls in apple green, holiday red, pink & blue. Choose from “Posh Pooch,” “Spoiled Rotten,” “Where’s My Tiara?,” and “World’s Best Dog.” The year “2008” is painted on the back of the ornament.
Feel Good Frames’ products can also be personalized with the pet’s name and the year. The frames hold a 3”x3” photo and hang from a fluffy ribbon. Feel Good Frames’ ornaments retail for $26.00 and make a great gift.
Remember this great site for great holiday or birthday gifts for your friends and fellow dog lovers. They will definitely love it!
Transform your furry friend's face into an amazing work of art!
I am absolutely blown away at the gorgeous, incredible, amazing (am I using enough adjectives?) portrait of my dog Maggie. This work of art was lovingly created by artist Janet Burt, who recently launched her website, Rainbowdog Pet Portraits.
These vibrant and colorful, contemporary, acrylic portraits are hand-painted by Janet, using a photo that you supply to her (either via email or by mail). The photo doesn't need to be perfect, it just needs to well-lit, in-focus, and showing your dog's markings and coloring. I supplied a few photos to Janet, she recommended one, and then sent me a few variations of it cropped before she created the piece of art. (You can see the photo below that we selected for the portrait) And if you want a portrait of two animals, they don't need to be in the same shot for Janet to make an amazing creation.
Each portrait is painted on a 11/16 inch, back-stapled canvas with a staple-free, painted edge. They are beautiful as-is, or can be framed. Janet can create them in a variation of sizes in both square and rectangular canvases.
As beautiful as the picture is above, it doesn't do the real portrait justice. This work of art will be displayed in my home and enjoyed by my family and friends for many years to come. Cherish your pet by creating a work of art in their honor (or memory). Or gift one to someone special. They will be beyond thrilled with this amazing creation.
To learn more about Rainbowdog, check out the gallery of art that Janet has created, the FAQ page to learn more about the process and the photo tips page on how to best take your photo. If you place an order, make sure you mention to Janet that you heard of her through The Swanky Pup and receive a 10% discount on your portrait!

I love my book and those who come to visit always pick it up and look through it. It has all my favorite pictures of my dog in it and I know that I will treasure it for a long time to come.
It's not uncommon for people to comment on the amount of photographs I have taken of my dog. Ok, I admit it... I like taking a lot of pictures. I usually compile them all into a book, designated just for my dog (and usually it goes unopened). Until now...
At Picturedpets.com, you can find all kinds of pet picture frames to display all your pictures of your furry friend. Oh, and it's not just dogs either. They have a wide variety of cat frames to choose from as well. All the frames at Picturedpets.com are made from either pewter, wood, glass or metal. You can even find frames with a little glitz, if that is your style.
These frames would make a great gift for a new puppy owner, or an older puppy owner who just has so many pictures and no where to put them... like me!
So, surf over to Picturedpets.com and find a new picture frame for your fur baby. After all, your pet is a member of your family and should also be displayed for all to see. At checkout, mention "swankypup" and receive 10% off any purchase.
