It’s always fun when new dog cloths come in to the Chihuahua Clothes Shop and I get to offer a new line of small dog clothes to chihuahua owners and people with other breeds of small dogs! This week has been a blast for me because with the arrival of the new customizable dog T-shirts, anyone can make their own personalized dog clothing for their precious little dog and have some fun thinking about what message they want their dog to walk around with!

I’ve had a few people emailing in, telling me they love their doggie’s new chihuahua clothes for dogs with their personalized message on it. They send me the photos and it’s always so cool to see happy customers!

Over here on the beach in Mexico, I get to see a number of small dogs wearing doggie cloths out surfing almost every day. Surfers take their little dogs with them out on the board, paddling out to the waves, and then they ride in on the waves with their little dog on top of the surf board! It’s awesome:

A lot of these beach dogs who spend a lot of time in the water wear white doggie clothing, with their owner wanting to protect their pet’s skin from the intense UV rays from the sun. It’s a smart move because a lot of small dogs like chihuahuas have these hairless parts of their bodies, like around their ears, nose, and their little tummies, where the sun can really blast away and burn them if you aren’t careful. So just covering your little dog up with a little dog fashion can be very practical in the summer sun, it you’re talking about dog clothing that’s light and breathes well.

Normally, pet outfits are the subject of jokes among non-dog owners who don’t get it and know what it’s about. But when it comes to my dogs’ health, I really don’t have any problem dressing up my chihuahua pups in doggy cloths, and even my little foster poodles in chihuahua outfits. When it comes to their health, I don’t care what anybody thinks: I’m going to take care of my dogs.

But obviously most people do care about how their dogs look when dressed in their tiny pet cloths, and so I definitely do make an effort to bring only the best small dog clothes to the Chihuahua Store. I know that, at least among the dog lovers I spend time around, people who are into dog clothes are usually more fashion and style oriented people, who care about the appearance of their dogs and want them to look as cool and hip as possible in their little dog pants and dog shirts and dog sweaters that they wear. I’m the same way, of course, so I put a lot of effort into deciding what clothes come in to the store, and which small dog garments will stay in the other stores online.

If you’re here searching for chihuahua clothes or dog cloths of any kind, go check out the Chihuahua Store there. We sell only the highest quality fashion for little dogs that you can find, today, and I’m very confident you’ll find what you’re looking for, for your chihuahua dogs. So go check it out, and I’ll speak to you again soon! -Mikey

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!

These clothes are often thought of as unnecessary by many dog owners, but when you have a smaller breed dog like a teacup chihuahua, little clothes like these keep the dog warm and safe from coming down with a cold when living in cooler countries. I’m from Canada personally and, when living there with my little pets, my chihuahua dogs make daily use of their tiny chihuahua clothes because it’s freezing in the winter time and they come from from a much hotter part of the planet. Even a long haired chihuahua will get cold in the winter, along with other small breeds, because they are still so small and have higher metabolisms that render them vulnerable to catch colds more frequently in colder weather than bigger breeds of dogs.

Chihuahua coats and shirts and sweaters let these little dogs walk outdoors in the cold without constantly shivering, making life a much more pleasant experience for them. The little clothes for dogs I make my chihuahuas wear enables them to get the exercise they need in the winter time, which is important to me, and very important for them, as it keeps them balanced and healthy–physically and mentally.

Another reason, of course, people buy apparel for their little dogs is to dress them up in costumes and make them adorable and cute for everyone to see. Like it or not, dressing your dog in chihuahua clothes attracts a lot of attention and, if you’re going to draw in the masses, you might as well do it in style with the latest small dog fashions!

Some people ask if chihuahua clothes are any different than clothes for other breeds of dogs, and the answer is both “yes” and “no”: no, the clothes you buy for these dogs are often no different than what you’d find at the pet store for a bigger dog like a lab, designed to keep them warm in the cold weather with wool sweaters and hoodies and so on; but yes, because you can find a lot of styles for chihuahuas that you can’t for other breeds: dresses, leather coats, pajamas, funny aprons and costumes that are available for chihuahuas often aren’t for larger breed pooches, and come in fashions and styles that are distinctly tailored for the chihuahua breed. The chihuahua fashion industry is more abundant than than the clothing market for any other breed of dog, so no matter what your reason for dressing your little dog up, be it for to keep her warm or to dress her up and make her look even more adorable, as an owner of chihuahua dogs, you have plenty of options available when it comes to chihuahua clothes!
