When it comes to dressing our furry family members, it’s best to focus on function and comfort above all else. As much as we can’t get enough of adorable pups in oversized bow ties and funny costumes, these accessories should be reserved for special occasions only. Doggie daily wear should serve a purpose and not get in the way of Fido’s ability to run, jump, play and cuddle. But that doesn’t mean you can’t dress your sweetie in stuff that shows off their big personality. Stick to fun and functional gear that keeps them safe and comfy, like the items listed below.
Restrained Style: A Stylish Harness
Restrain your pet, not their style, with a cute no-pull harness that keeps them by your side no matter what’s on the agenda. Ideal for high-energy adult dogs and adventurous puppies alike, a harness safely encourages your pup to heel no matter where their curious snouts may lead them. But harnesses also add color and fun to your pet’s look while reflecting you and Fido’s sense of style. Grab a chic reversible dog harness with two designs in one to show their multifaceted personality!
Sweater Weather: A Cozy Dog Hoodie
According to the American Kennel Club (AKC), some dogs, especially those of certain breeds and age groups, may be uncomfortable in the winter without a jacket or sweater. If you’ve got a pup with a shorter, thinner coat (Frenchies, chihuahuas, greyhounds and whippets), one who sits low to the ground (corgis), a breed with clipped or shorn hair (poodles) or a senior dog, they probably get colder than the average pup when the weather is nippy. Express your sense of style with a warm dog hoodie in a cute style.
Hotel–Grade Style: A Luxe Pet Bed
Design-oriented dog owners know that, try as we might, it’s nearly impossible to avoid cluttering up your space with dog gear and extras. That’s why it’s so important that their at-home items, such as the place where they rest their heads, reflect the style and vibe of your home. Don’t settle for basic pet store dog beds. Whether your interior décor leans hyper-modern and minimalist or over-the-top luxury, there’s a high-end dog bed to honor it. Find chic styles made with cozy faux fur, rustic suede or even rich mahogany.
Chic Essentials: A Cute Collar
Your pup’s collar is no doubt his most-worn accessory. In fact, you really shouldn’t take it off unless they’re getting groomed. That means you need one that really functions at its best and shows your pet’s sense of style every day in every setting. We always recommend picking an adjustable style made with polyester webbing that will withstand plenty of swims, hikes and fetch sessions. Polyester webbing is also a great material for those who like bright, colorful designs and prints, as it comes in lots of vibrant colors.
