The value of a dog leash

Dog Owners should understand the importance of containing their dog on a leash. A leash protects your pet from the dangers of the outside world.

How to be a trendy dog

It is becoming increasingly popular to own a trendy dog. The move towards trendy dog fashions and designer dog accessories has probably gained in popularity due to the photographs of celebrities with their trendy dogs.

Years ago, a bath and recent dog grooming used to be the trendiest that a dog would be. These days, designer dog fashion and pampering have become the standards for trendy dogs.

The dog fashion and accessories by designers seem to define how to be a trendy dog. Designer dog collars, fashion, and dog carriers are much more expensive than the non-designer versions, but many dog owners use these items as ways to have trendy dogs.

Many designers have seized the popularity of dog pampering and offered their own solutions to how to be a trendy dog. Dog hoodies and t-shirts from designer labels are available for trendy dogs.

For small dogs, designer dog carriers are used by dog owners who want to carry their dogs in public. Several designer labels, including Juicy Couture, make designer dog carriers. Designer dog carriers can cost several hundred dollars.

I told them to hold off on buying a dog bed. This doesn't mean I am not a avid proponent of dog beds. I am. However, I don't think it is appropriate for a puppy to use a dog bed. More accurately, I think it might be impossible for a puppy to be expected to stay in a dog bed. For at least the first 8 to 12 months in their new homes puppies need to sleep in a cage.
