Taking inventory of our pet clothes for dogs at the Chihuahua Shop yesterday, I couldn’t help but have a smile on my face! This chihuahua dog pet clothing is so freaking cute, I could almost explode! I usually get pretty excited when I’m shopping for chihuahua clothes and pet clothes for dogs that are a little bigger, but it’s always so fun checking out the Shop because their dog pet clothing is second to none.

As the owner of a shop that sells small pet clothes for dogs, I have to keep up on the latest trends. But not just because I have to keep the Chihuahua Shop updated: my neighbors in the little beach town I live in are chihuahua obsessed and they have more pet dog clothing and little chihuahua pet clothes for their tiny dogs than you can shake a bone at. I’m telling you: if you combined all of the pet clothes for dogs in this chihuahua town, you’d literally have a small mountain of chihuahua clothes on your hands!

Maybe it’s because Sayulita was the town featured in the first Mexican scene of Beverly Hilly Chihuahua, that cute dog movie with all the dogs wearing pet clothes for dogs, and then neighboring Puerto Vallarta was featured for even more time, later on in the film. But wherever the pet dog clothes craze comes from in this town, I am constantly surrounded by little dogs wearing these cute pet chihuahua clothes, and they almost can’t be ignored! If you like watching little dogs prance around in pet clothes for dogs, then not only would you enjoy going on a shopping spree for pet clothes for small dogs, you’d most likely enjoy coming down to this funky, bohemian surf town and just watching all the chihuahuas prance around the town plaza in their pet clothes for chihuahuas with their loving owners!

Pet Clothes for Dogs: The Current Trend

I’ve spent a lot of time observing the pet clothing for dogs on this part of the planet, and what I’ve been seeing over the past year is that dog owners are tending to buy the more stylish, fashionable pet clothes for dogs, right now. In the past, the pet clothing for little dogs that sold hand over fist every time were the practical outfits: the coats, the chihuahua sweaters, the pet clothing for chihuahua dogs that were designed to keep your little pets warm.

What what I’m seeing today is a reversal in that trend: pet owners are buying more of the stylish pet clothes for dogs than the warm ones. People want to make their doggies into fashion divas and pop culture, trendy fashionista chihuahuas that grab people’s attention. And from what I see, the entire pet industry of chihuahua clothes for dogs is not only moving more in this direction, now, it’s accelerating in that direction, toward the chihuahua dresses and the chihuahua pet fashion costumes, and all these flashy pet clothes for dogs that make your dog look adorably cool and trendy.

Now, the standard dog clothes and those funny pet clothes for dogs that make you pup look like a bumble bee or a lion are still out there, and they’ll be around for a long time to come. But I think the major innovations and the new creative focus of pet dog clothes designers is going to be on the funky fashion pet costumes for dogs, and that the latest and greatest pet fashion is going to be coming out of that end of the dog clothing spectrum.

So what the hell is a dog backpack? Well it’s just that: it’s a little backpack your pooch carries on his back to intensify the walk and make it more of a workout for him.

I do a lot of training work with dogs and their owners, and when it comes to the clothes owners buy for their dogs, I see two main kinds of customers: people looking to dress up their dog all cute and cuddly and make him adorable, and people who find their dog is a little too cold and want to find a sweater or a coat for their dog to keep him warm.

Costumes, sweaters, and coats for dogs accomplish accommodate those two types of cases quite well, but combining them with a dog backpack takes each of those one step further. For starters, they look so ridiculously cute on your dog that even if you’re walking by the neighborhood Grinch, you’re bound to get a high pitched, squeaky voice “OoOOooh! How cute!!” out of the person. But second of all, it keeps your little teacup chihuahua or your big german shepherd warmer by making the walk a more intense workout for him. And by making the walk more of a workout, your dog heats up faster from the more intense exercise, and so it actually helps keep your pooch warm from the inside out, in addition to him wearing a shirt or dog sweater underneath. If you live in a super cold place in the winter, this really helps; I’m from Canada and it is bloody freezing up there in the winter, and even with a sweater and shirt on, my dogs still shiver. But I add a dog backpack onto each of them, in addition to their clothes for dogs, and the shivering stops and they do great on the walk.

You can put whatever you want in the backpack. Personally, I fill my dogs’ backpacks with bottles of water or bean bags, depending the dog I have. I do a lot of fostering for different rescued dogs, so I adjust the weight for the particular dog I’m working with. With the pitbull mix I currently have, I load him up with 2 litres of water in his backpack, which intensifies the walk for him and makes a half hour walk seem more like a one hour walk for him, which is great because he’s got a lot of energy and needs a ton of exercise to stay balanced. For my chihuahua, though, I just put a beanbag in each side of the backpack and make her carry those on the walk, much less weight for her far smaller size, so I don’t strain here smaller muscles too much. The backpacks work great on our early morning walks, when it’s cold out and the dogs are cold and they’re also ready to tear a hole in the side of the planet with all their energy after just waking up!

So I highly recommend using a dog backpack if you live in a colder climate and want to help keep your k-9 companion a little bit warmer on the cool days of this brutal winter, or if you have a higher level energy dog who requires a lot of exercise each day. Along with your pooch’s other clothes for dogs, I’m sure he’d welcome a little backpack into his K-9 wardrobe, haha! So surprise him with a little backpack on his next birthday. You can find a lot of great ones online and actually some excellent ones in traditional pet stores. Check them out!
