Last year during Pet Fashion Week in New York City, I had the chance to sit in on the dog fashion runway shows, and I was able to catch a glimpse of the coats for small dogs that were coming down the line in this pet fashion industry and that we now carry here at the Chihuahua Clothes Shop. Chihuahua coats and jackets for other smaller dogs have been one of our best sellers at the shop, and I have to say that part of that is due to the hard work the designers put into their dog clothing work.

On the runways of Pet Fashion Week, I saw the whole gamut of doggy coats for little dogs: there were dog coats for winter and designer dog coats from luxury brands like Gucci, Chanel, and Louis Vuitton. There were cool dog coats for small dogs like chihuahuas and yorkies and Maltese puppies. There were puppy coats of every style and fashion and cut and size you could imagine, being sold at the doggie fashion vendor stands outside the runway rooms. Small dog coats were very well represented at the show!

As you’d expect, it was the coats for toy breeds that claimed most of the attention, as it’s not so much specataters’ fascination with the doggie clothes as much as the little dogs themselves that won them the lion’s share of people’s conversations. The coats for chihuahuas and the other chihuahua clothes were a very hot topic among the small dog owners, with people snapping photos and shooting video to capture the future of dog coat fashion coming down the pipe in the pet industry.

The event was a blast to attend. Not only did I get to be a part of something that raises a lot of awareness for dogs and their rights here in western culture, which is very, very cool; but I got to see all the new accessories for small dogs on their way to the online dog boutiques and specialty pet stores this year. If you ever have the chance to go, I highly recommend it!

Coats for Small Dogs at The Chihuahua Shop

If you’re here and you’re looking to find coats for small dogs as a gift for a dog owner on your mind or for your own little dogs, then make sure you head over to the Chihuahua Store, and browse our selection, and then be sure to check back here again very soon because I update this chihuahua clothes blog frequently! I’ll talk to you again very soon! -Mikey

Oh hi there!–it’s Namaste the chihuahua again! Mikey has gone out to buy groceries and it’s my chance do another guest sneak-post here on the chihuahua clothes shop’s blog! I managed to dig through some of the new dog clothing inventory at the store and I managed to drag out some super cool dog coats for small dogs, and I’m going to try and write what I think about them here (if my paws let me…)

I have to say that perhaps my favorite outfit is my snugly warm dog coat my owner got me last year! As a little dog, I get cold down here on the ground, and when I’m not on my walk, and I spend a little time lounging around inside on a hot day in the cooled room, I start to shiver and freeze down here! It gets really cold when you’re all the way down here AND you’re a breed that has a super high metabolism and you shed your body heat quickly.

So any small dog coats that keep me a little warmer, I love! I’m super in love with my dog fleeces and, at night, really like to wear them over top my dog pyjamas. It keeps me nice and comfortable!

Another one of my favorite chihuahua outfits is my high visibility dog coat, for when I’m out walking around at night. I’m not really sure what it’s like up there when you’re walking along the side of the street as a human, but when you’re all of ten inches tall and a loud car goes by a little too close, it’s freaking scary. So I’m definitely a fan of the little dog suits and fleece coats for small dogs that have those fluorescent strips on them so your cars can see me and not run me over! Oh, it freaks me out every time someone zooms by in a loud, noisy automobile! I don’t like it!

Those are some of my favorites in the little dog coats arena, but I’ve seen so many more styles in the new Chihuahua Store here. There’s these fashion dog coats that have fur lining (fake fur, of course!), these crazy cool quilted parkas with hoods, chihuahua vests with fur collars, and even these little luxury ski parkas for dogs, for when you really want to treat one of us to a life of comfort and warmth in the cold!

Well I have to go and get all these small dog coats for small dogs back in the store before Mikey comes home and sees me, finds out I can type and write about chihuahua clothing, and then puts me to work here full time in the chihuahua shop!! I can’t have anything taking away from my precious lounging time by the pool or my snuggle time with him by his feet while he works on his laptop. I’ll try to write again soon, the next time he leaves the house! xoxo -Namaste!! ..err, ahemm, -a little bird

The post Dog Coats for Small Dogs: Through The Eyes of A Chihuahua appeared first on Chihuahua Clothes.

Hey there, it’s Mikey again! I want to talk to you quickly here a bit about chiwawa clothes and why I believe it’s better to look for clothing made specifically for chiwawas, if you’re the proud owner of one, than it is to just go after the generic small dog clothes you’ll find at the majority of the online pet clothing stores. And yes, by the way, I realize that it’s actually spelled “chihuahua”, but so many people writing to me today are using the “w” version that I’m going to do it their way off and on in this little article as a sign of support for “chiwawa” owners around the world and the imperfection of our dog culture as it exists today, lol. Chihuahua clothes are cool, but chiwawa clothing… now we’re talking! So enough silliness: I believe it is far better to look for chiwawa outfits for your long haired chihuahua than it is to search for small dog clothing when you’re online, and it’s because of how they fit.

As I’m sure you probably can imagine, all dogs have a similar shape, but the different breeds each have their own unique body proportions that make them what they are: the dachshund has that crazy long wiener dog body; the greyhound has that super slim and trim build; and the labs have those prototypical dog bodies with everything in a relatively “normal”, average proportion. When it comes to chihuahuas and smaller dogs, it’s the same story: they each have their own body shapes, but when you get down to the smaller sizes of these guys, little difference make an overall larger proportion of difference, since the differences in size amounts to an overall larger percentage of the small dog’s size, compared to a bigger dog. So when you’re buying clothing for a little dog like a chihuahua or a yorkshire terrier or a (insert small breed of dog here), your little Fido is going to end up with clothing that is much better fitting for her if it is clothing designed specifically for her breed. Of course this is true for any breed, but again, when it comes to smaller dogs, this makes a bigger difference.

Especially when you’re looking at designer pet clothes for you chiwawa pup, you’re going to want to make sure those nicer, more pricey clothes you’re picking out for her are going to fit her properly and not end looking like a dog wearing a plastic bag or something really baggy that will look goofy like that. And it’s the same story with chihuahua coats: they’re made from thicker material and heavier construction, so if you’re little dog is going to wear them, you want them to fit properly, otherwise they can rub her again and again in the wrong place and lead to rashes and rub burns and other nasty unpleasantness for your precious little princess! Any kind of designer pet boutique will normally advertise their clothing is for a specific breed of dog–ours, for example, has clothing designed primarily with chihuahuas in mind. These companies put their designer labels on dog clothing with pride and obviously want you to think highly of their pet products, so they usually go the extra mile when designing their pet fashion to be a bit more tailored for specific breeds. If you’re looking for dog clothes online and you’re going for that luxury pet look for you chihuahua girl, then you’re almost certainly going to want to make sure the clothes are designed for chihuahuas and fit her well. And again, this isn’t just going to affect her look, it’s going to play a big role in how comfortable she is in the clothing.

Of course, the same is true when you’re shopping for chihuahua clothes cheap enough to buy in bulk: if you’re buying clothes that are inexpensive, a lot of little dog owners get so excited by the fact that they found a great deal on the chihuahua clothes that they forget to check to see if they fit properly! And these clothes are almost always made from harsher, less forgiving material than the more expensive dog clothing, and so you need to check to make sure the discount dog dresses fit your little female chiwawa properly so it’s not causing her that irritation to her sensitive underbelly and underarm area that I know my own chiwawas can develop problems with I’m not careful with choosing the right clothes for them!

If you’re trying to find raincoats for small dogs, the same hold true, especially when you’re dealing with chihuahua dog coats like these made from rubber materials! You need to be careful with dog coats for small dogs in general because of the increased discomfort you’re little chi will experience if she’s not the right size for these clothes, so really just make sure you’re looking through coats that have been designed specifically for your chihuahua (or whatever breed of little dog you have) when you’re shopping for them, if you have that option.

Chihuahua collars are the same story, though not to the same degree. Obviously with a chiuaua, you’re going to want to use smaller dog collars and leashes for her, but you have a little more leeway when it comes to the selection with these.

customize your own Chihuahua Collar!

Some of the dog clothing boutiques (including our own) allow you to customize a cool collar for your small breed puppy. They’re these crystal-studded fashion dog collars you can do custom lettering on so your chihuahua can wear her name right on her little collar, and it’s very cool because it’s just another way you get to customize you’re adorable dog’s look. You can find embroidered dog collars for all the little breeds of dogs because there isn’t a whole lot of variation when it comes the shape or size of a little dog’s neck! So you don’t have be quite as vigilant and careful when browsing and looking for these.

With chihuahua costumes, it’s best if you can find custom made get-ups for your small dog, but really, the point of most costumes–especially if we’re talking about chihuahua Halloween costumes–is to make your dog look a little silly and share a funny moment with her and have a laugh and lavish the absurdity of the whole thing, so a little extra wiggle room inside the costume usually isn’t a bad thing. That said, it’s very possible to find dog costumes for small dogs in the pet stores online and in the mainstream local pet places in any bigger cities, so if you’re going for something more petite or something more adorable than funny, for example, and you enjoy living that fantasy with the little dogs in your life, then you can definitely find breed-specific costumes for chihuahuas and other small breeds if you just look around.

So that’s really all I want to say about finding custom fit chiwawa clothes. If you’re trying to find hoodies or sweaters for your chihuahua or t-shirts or little dog boots for your little dogs, both of you will likely enjoy the clothes more if they fit your dog really well, and the best way to do that is to shop for clothes at a store that sells them for the particular breed of dog that you have. Here at our chihuahua clothes shop, I’ve focused my energy on stocking the shelves with the highest quality clothes for chihuahuas I’ve been able to find: clothes that are made from high quality materials in cool, fashionable designs that I know would garner adoration and more than just a few swoons from my the people I cross paths with on my walks with my little poochies. So if you have a chihuahua and you’re trying to find this kind of clothing for him or her, then be sure to check out the chihuahua clothing store, right there. Alright, well I’ll speak to you again soon! -Mikey P.S. What are you doing still reading this?!? Go check out these great chiwawa clothes!

Longlonglong dog clothing

They carry smaller dog fashion just like we do here at our store that sells chihuahua apparel, but this Lovelonglong dog clothing shop sells pet clothes for a bit less money and they have different styles and specific smaller dog accessories than we carry, and so they’re definitely worth browsing. Apparently the story on getting their pet products for super cheap goes like this: if you buy at least 30 items of clothing or pet accessories or really anything at their store, your entire order will receive the wholesaler discount!

If you REALLY go bonkers or can arrange to place a mass order of Lovelonglong Dog Clothing for you and some of your friends, together, and you order 300 items or more, then you get the ultra low “reseller” prices on all the little pet items, and you save even more money on these cool cheap dog clothes.

They carry everything from T-shirts for chihuahuas and little yorkie outfits to these cute little leather jackets (pictured right) for your chihuahua, and these tiny embroidered shirts with rhinestones. They also have huge selection of dog costumes for smaller dogs. It’s actually pretty amazing when you take a look at there, just how much variety they have in their dog clothing inventory!

I mean, seriously, when was the last time you saw a little dog wearing a Chinese royal costume? Or how about a maltese trying on a denim jumpsuit over top of his little maltese clothes? I mean, good grief: how about a little chiwawa sporting a bath robe? Can you imagine how irresistibly cute that would be!?

If you’re just looking around for more standard dog accessories like a few chihuahua collars for your little long haired chihuahua or some more mainstream but still cool fashion for small doggies you have that you want to pamper and spoil a bit as a treat, Lovelonglong still carries that stuff too! They carry cheaper dog coats for small dogs, for owners who don’t feel like spending a small fortune in order to dress up Fido and keep him warm, and other great, standard style dog fashion that you’ll see in a lot of the other dogwear stores and online pet fashion boutiques right now. So in other words, you can still find your cute chihuahua sweatshirts and T-shirts for wrapping around your apple head when it’s a cool day and you want him to be as comfy as he can be!

So that’s all I’m going to say about these folks. If you’re at all interested in cheap chihuahua clothes, you owe it to yourself to check out their selection of Lovelonglong dog clothing. I don’t know if you guys know this, but if you’ve been a customer of small dog clothes for a while now, you almost certainly have noticed it’s getting a lot harder to find cheap dog clothes these days, and so it’s definitely a bonus when you can find an outfit like Lovelonglong that will cut you a wholesaler and even a reseller deal on funky dog clothes for your precious pooch! I’ll speak to you again soon, I hope this has been useful, and be sure to check them out! -Mikey Davis
