Dog clothes are everywhere today, and whether you’re into chihuahua dog clothes or you’re more a cute dog clothes shopper, it’s these stylish dog clothes that dog owners are flocking to today. My neighbors, and all the pet owners of the little beach town I live in today is going gaga when they shop dog clothes online, and I’m lucky enough to get to see all this chihuahua clothing and these funky dog clothes on their little pets all the time!

Dog clothing does have its detractors, though, and while I think chihuahua clothing is totally fabu and that dressing up your dog in the most fashion-tastic designer dog clothes can be a lot of fun and a very good thing, not everyone feels the same. There are people who completely scoff at the very notion of dog fashion, and believe it to be cruel to dress a dog in an extra layer of fur.

Dog Clothes – Is There A Downside?

I think we have to respect their doggie clothes opinion, because not all of use have seen dog dresses and dog coats used in the same way. I know I have personally seen small dogs wearing heavy, thick dog clothes in the middle of the searing summer, when they’re out in the summer sun and the heat is bearing down on their and their small dog clothes, and that’s not at all cool in my books.

I think this goes without saying, but in terms of dog outfits, you have to use common sense with these little dog clothes, and dog clothing for all breeds of pet dogs. If you’re going to shop for new dog clothing at the Chihuahua Shop, or wherever it is that you buy your toy dog clothes, then please please PLEASE make sure you clothe your dogs responsibly and that you’re not going to make them wear dog clothes out in the sun and cause them to suffer in the heat!

Dog Clothes: Where To Shop For Them

But if you’re like the VAST majority of dog owners who dresses up her dogs in dog fashion, and you have some basic sense about this then you probably know what I mean when I say that dog clothes are just about the coolest thing ever when it comes to shopping for your dog. Small dog clothing lets you dress up your dog and give him or her the look of your choosing, and you can have so much dog fashion fun with that. Do I say have fun with dog clothes and enjoy the entire dog clothing experience!

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

Small dog apparel: it lets you dress up your dog in cute designer dog clothes, it’s fun, it helps your chihuahua stay warm on cool nights by wrapping her in a layer of chihuahua clothes, and it makes stalkers out of perfect strangers at the grocery store.

Let me explain.

As a pet fashion enthusiast, I collect a lot of pet apparel for my little chihuahuas. Sometimes it’s a cute dog fashion coat from the Chihuahua Shop here; other times, it’s something from the luxury dog clothes for small dogs line of another online boutique. But either way, when my chihuahuas leave the house, they are well dressed!!

Well when I leave the house with my dogs, they’re usually dressed up in some of their best dog clothing. And, as it happens, when I go grocery shopping, I like to sneak my chihuahua Namaste into the store with me, to do a little spontaneous and covert K-9 grocery shopping! I usually slip her into my backpack after we step out of the car and we’re walking through the parking lot to get to the store, walk in, and then place her in that little top shelf of the buggy cart, on top of the backpack and using it as a pillow while I wheel her around and do my thing, usually without any store employees noticing (important).

So yesterday, we’re walking through the parking lot, she has her adorable chihuahua clothes on, and as I pick her up to put her in the backpack so I can sneak her in past through the door guard person here at the local “Mega” here in Puerto Vallarta, down here in Mexico, this rather large woman in pink sweat pants and a huge leopard-print visor comes charging from around this parked minivan and starts gushing about how cute Namaste is and how she has small dogs of her own, and how she loves to dress them up in yorkie clothes, and this and that and the entire kitchen sink of a conversation! I couldn’t get a word in as she walked beside me and I stuck Namaste into my backpack.

“Are you going to sneak her in?!” she announced to the entire neighborhood in her screechy voice. “I hope so,” I smiled back, now nearing the door and about to walk through. She had this look of excitement like she was going to explode or something: what is it about the mixture of chihuahuas and pet clothes that makes people loose it like this? I could see if she had never seen puppy clothes on a little dog before, but this is a person who lives with yorkies, who dresses them up in their dog coats and dog sweaters frequently, I presume. So what’s the deal with her squeal? Lol, I have to have fun with it: I’m only joking because this woman was super over the top with her adoration for Namaste and the small dog apparel she was wearing.

Anyways, I get into the store and I’m shopping around, the woman has left do to her shopping, and the usual mixture of kids and assorted other shoppers are noticing and coming up to pet the fashionable and increasingly famous chihuahua, Namaste. I’m walking through the pet supplies isle, looking to see what they have in the way of small dog collars and if they have any pet couture collars like the last grocery store I visited did (I couldn’t believe it!), when the woman sees me again and start billowing out about how cute she looks atop my grocery cart. This is not good. Now everybody is looking and staring, including the store staff.

I quicken my pace and give this jovial woman another quick smile and a knod, trying to break away, but she seems to keep following me around the store from isle to isle! She goes on and on, talking about the beds for smaller dogs and the pet furniture she found at the dog store the other day, and how she likes to use small dog harnesses on her yorkies instead of a leash. She starts talking about her shopper’s appetite for petite dog clothes–something I can relate to–so I stop my shopping for a minute to talk with her about chihuahua clothes and the Chihuahua Shop I run here, and as it turns out, she’s actually a cool person who takes good care of her dogs.

Unfortunately, it’s at this point when I spot the grocery store floor manager over the shoulder of my new, round, pink, small dog fashion enthusiast friend, and he’s walking toward us, and he doesn’t look very happy. It turns out that bringing your little dog into the store, even when she stays inside the little seat in the push cart and no matter how cute she looks in clothes for little dogs, is in violation of store policy, and I would have to take her out. And so I did …after a series of zig-zags through a few isles and a quick stop through the checkout line

Perhaps that’s one of the better parts of shopping for small dog apparel online: you don’t have to deal with “store policy” like this and you can have your chihuahua right there with you, browsing through the small dog clothing to your heart’s content. If you’re looking for clothes for your small dog, check them out at the Chihuahua Store, and I’ll speak to you again really soon, probably with another weird story involving sneaking my chihuahuas into places where you’re not supposed to have them! -Mikey

The post Small Dog Apparel, And The Jovial, Round, Pink Grocery Woman appeared first on Chihuahua Clothes.

I had to laugh today because I saw some of the new dog jumpers in the UK and dog sweaters at the Chihuahua Store, and it made me think of this crazy dog lady I’ve been seeing on my walks with my two chihuahuas, lately. This woman is perhaps a little off-kilter, but she sure does have a flair for her sense of chihuahua clothes fashion! She’s from the UK and has these five dogs, each a different breed: a husky, a puli, a German shepherd, a yorkie, and a chihuahua; and here’s the kicker: every single time I see them, these dogs are all wearing these CRAZY psychedelic colored dog hoodies that look like they’ve been warped through time from the 60’s! It’s insane. What’s more: every time I see them, they’re running really fast, like almost sprinting! Many people walk their dogs, some people run with them, but this chick freaking BLASTS by with her dogs. It’s like watching some kind of super hero team bolt by on a fashion mission in their little doggy jumpers. I seriously have to fight to not let out this silly giggle every time I witness this bizarre episode!

Personally, I think it’s great what she’s doing. I mean, running with your dog is such a great way to get exercise, to bond with your pet, and to give your dog what is usually some much-needed exercise–it’s such a great opportunity. But this crazy dog woman takes it up a notch, not only with the Olympic athlete speed with which she and her little pack of dogs sprint by me, but they’re all wearing these cool little dog jumpers! I love the hoody! And when you adapt it for physical activity and make them comfortable for your little dog to wear in the case of the chihuahua jumpers, you end up with functional exercise fashion for your dog that’s freaking cool.

Especially for the small dogs, the little chihuahua dog hoodie is invaluable in keeping them cozy and warm and comfortable on a cool day, and I don’t know about you, but dog clothing like small dog sweatshirts have always been not just one of the ways I pamper my dog, but one of the main ways I take care of my apple head chihuahuas and keep them comfy. I know that eccentric, crazy chihuahua clothes are often what people think of when they form a picture of dog clothing in their mind, but those costume outfits and dresses and costumes are but a fraction of this little clothing world for dogs in comparision to the practical apparel of the chihuahua dog sweater and the little dog hoodie. Chihuahua clothes are practical and functional, in addition to being fashionably freaky at times, is what I’m saying.

This crazy lady with the five dogs has her pooches wearing these different jumpers: the yorkie has a wool jumper, the chihuahua wears a little knitted dog jumper that was a birthday present from the owner, and the other three have this customized sporty jogging suit that has a fluorescent flashy, reflective strip on it.

It’s a bit of a freakshow, this bullet-speed pack of dogs and their owner, and I definitely get a kick out of watching their insanely out-of-context exercise regimen go down every day: I think the lesson here is that when in doubt, mix chihuahua clothing with cute dogs and then sprint full blast around the marina with the other little dogs and their owners casually walking around, slowly! Try that out and see the reactions you get, lol!

Anyway, enough about the crazy dog girl. The chihuahua clothes shop has some very high quality chihuahua sweaters and dog jumpers that you can check out at the Chihuahua Clothes shop, and I highly recommend you do because I have seen them and they’re great at keeping your dog more comfortable in cooler places without making it harder for them to walk around. So check them out, see for yourself, and I’ll back here again soon!
