I’ve been noticing it’s not exactly easy to find dog accessories UK made and sold, but the Chihuahua Shop is one place where can actually find small dog accessories that ship out of England. Especially when you live in London and you don’t feel like shopping form some American dog store and have everything sent overseas and having to pay a big shipping fee, as a dog owner who likes to spoil your dog, it’s nice when you can shop for little dog accessories in the United Kingdom. And that’s what the Chihuahua Shop is for.

The Shop carries the latest chihuahua accessories out of London. You can find England dog accessories in the local pet stores, but then you’re usually limited in the selection of small dog clothing and to the manufactured dog accessories in Europe. If you shop online, you have access to the whole world. The Chihuahua Shop brings in some of the best dog clothing from all over the world, to it’s warehouses in the UK, and then ships it out to you from there, so the shipping costs are low and the dog accessories UK shipments get to you quickly, which is nice.

Ordering Dog Accessories UK When You Live Here: A Waiting Game

It’s never fun when you live in the UK and you buy some new dog accessories online, and then you have to wait a month or six weeks for them arrive! You can find simple UK dog collars and basic UK dog supplies at your local Tesco, but if you want the nice chihuahua clothes and the cool dog costumes you see when you browse around online, you’re probably going to have order them online! The problem, of course, is that a lot of these shops are based in the US and so, like I said, it can take a long time for your ordered dog accessories to ship over to the UK, and it sucks when you have to wait forever for your new dog accessories to get to you over in England!

Dog Accessories UK: Where You Can Find Them

So to simplify this whole ordeal, we’ve set up the dog accessories UK branch of the Chihuahua shop, so that you can shop for the latest chihuahua clothes, puppy collars, hats for dogs, and all the other small dog accessories that you love right at home, in the UK, and have it ship out from our UK dog shop branch and not have to wait forever for them to arrive. In this way, shopping for pet clothes and dog accessories in Britain is a lot easier! So head over to the Chihuahua Shop now and check the dog accessories out, and I’ll speak to you again soon. -Mikey

It’s been freaking exciting around here lately in chihuahua land with the arrival of the new designer doggie clothes and chihuahua accessories like the new Wizard of Oz doggie collars for little dogs. They’re so darn cute! And when you couple them with custom made pet apparel from the Chihuahua Shop, you’re well on your way to having a little fashion dog of your own!

Designer chihuahua clothes are the best type of small doggie clothes, if you ask me. You can pair them with some Swarovski dog jewelry to make your chiwawa into that whole runway fashion chihuahua designer doggy that we love so much, like a little dog straight out of the movies.

And when it comes to dog clothes from designers, there’s no shortage of those! Just briefly browsing around the chihuahua clothing boutiques online, I’ve seen dog costumes and dresses from the luxury brands that run into the thousands of dollars!

The Chihuahua Shop doesn’t focus on those super luxury, insanely expensive brands of clothing for chihuahuas and other small dogs, but instead specializes in bringing in designer dog fashion that looks exquisite while also not costing a small fortune. Some of the designer outfits I’ve seen on my neighbors’ chihuahua dogs lately, that have come from the Chihuahua Store, have been blowing me away in terms of how freaking hot they make the little doggies look! It’s like they just stepped out of the pages of Chihuahua Fashion GQ or something!

The designer chihuahua outfits we carry aim to create that luxury doggie clothes feel of the outfits you’d pay hundreds of dollars for, but sell for what regular small dog clothes are priced at, so it’s a great value for most small dog owners.

We carry designer dog coats and dog carriers for chihuahuas, as well as customizable designer dog collars for smaller dogs, as well as some trendy new dog jewelry right now. So if you’re looking designer doggie clothes, head over to the Chihuahua Shop now, and I’ll speak to you again soon! -Mikey

Of all the small dog clothing you can find for chihuahuas and shih tzu and yorkies and Maltese, costumes for small dogs have got to be the most fun. Browsing around the GW Little store lately, I’ve been indulging in a little dog shopping fun for my pet pups over here, picking out a few chihuahua clothes for their upcoming birthdays and a few small dog costumes for when I need a laugh and I decide to dress all my little doggies up in costumes for a day, just to create a strange and bizarre atmosphere in my house and have some fun to break up the monotony of the day.

Something a little weird I’ve been noticing about the different breeds of small dogs is that each one has it’s own dog costume “niche”–if you will–that works best for it. The chihuahuas have a few types of chihuahua costumes that work best with their short hair and huge bulging eyes; the yorkies have their costumes for yorkies that go with their tiny toy dog, formal, quaint look; the shih tzu have their onw little shih tzu costumes that work best on them, with their super long hair and that whole ancient Chinese thing going on; and the Maltese have a certain type of Maltese costume that works best with their adorable, cute little white faces. If you pay attention and you see a lot of little dogs wearing costumes for teacup dogs over and over again, I think you’ll notice this, that each breed has its own style.

More than any other type of small dog clothing costumes my chihuahua owner friends talk about when they get together, it’s the funny dog costumes that tend to dominate our conversations about chihuahua clothing and pet costumes. Smaller dog costumes that have that funny twist are just more entertaining and hilarious than the bland puppy costume, or the little doggie costumes that make an honest effort at being serious and respectable. When you dress up your little dog as a bumble bee or as crocodile prey in the middle of being devoured, or as a lion with a costume that has a huge main of lion hair that frames your chihuahuas head, you take your little dog’s cuteness and you add a humor element to it that just pushes everything over the top with dog owners and you make it almost impossible to look at your small dog without busting a gut and laughing your ass off! It’s great!

Costumes for small dogs are usually not that expensive if you shop at the top pet stores online. My favorite place to go right now when I want to pick out a new outfit is the costume for small dog section of GW Little’s online small dog boutique. They have a great selection of cool, funny little chihuahua dog costumes and they’re reasonably priced right now, so be sure to check them out. I’ll be back again very soon with another update from the zany world of small doggy costumes, so go check out GW’s selection right now, and I’ll speak to you again soon! -Mikey

The post Costumes for Small Dogs: A Different Style For Each Small Dog Breed appeared first on Chihuahua Clothes.

I was seriously considering writing another article for this little site about chihuahua clothes that would have taken these costumes for dogs seriously; but how would you start that?  “Ahem, today I have a very important issue to discuss with you: the topic of dog costumes…”  I don’t think so. Dog costumes are perhaps the truest sign that the universe has a sense of humor: some of my hardest laughing moments where caused by a dog walking by in an outlandish or ridiculous costume of some sort. So for fun, and to honor what I think is the true nature of these little costumes for our K-9 friends, let’s have a look at a few typical dog costumes today and discuss the qualities of these funny and fine dog costumes:

The Superman dog. I love these superhero dog costumes: they’re so easy to get your dog into. They typically hang on the front of your dog’s neck, and they give the appearance that your dog is really a little being with arms and legs and the whole bit. The first time you see one of these little dog costumes, you are doomed to an almost fatal laughter; that is to say that you will probably laugh so hard that you won’t be able to breath for a minute or two. I hope you have a good lung capacity!

While we’re one the subject, it needs to be said: superheroes work in teams. What better than to dress up the entire pack in super hero attire? Now, these hero dog costumes are normally intended for a laugh on Halloween, but why not bust these out on a monthly basis? Why not take the Halloween dog costumes out of the October box and make one day each month for dressing your dogs up, each in super hero clothing, and walking them down the street with absolutely no explanation whatsoever? People will look, some will take pictures, and you’ll create a moment in the universe of absolute hilarity. What could be more fun on a dull, overcast Sunday afternoon than walking down a busy street with a pack of German shepherds dressed to the K-9s in costumes for big dogs?

Is that Simba? Or is that a pit bull? It’s so hard to tell these days, especially when the latter is wearing the former’s costume! Seriously, if you were to walk down the street with your dog wearing the lion dog costume, I suspect you would end up scaring a great majority of the people you’d pass on the sidewalk. You’d walk by and as the other person’s peripheral vision came to noticing the maine of this beast passing by beside them, they’d have that instinctive freakout reaction of “..??.whaATTT THE HECK IS THATTT!!? AHHHhh…ooh,… just a dog.. ahem.. I knew that,.. haha, just kidding!!.. I was just kidding, ahahaha. What a cute little doggy woggy in his dog lion costume…” (adjusting his neck tie and wiping sweat from his brow.) Can you imagine the fun this could be if you coupled this with a digital camera in hand, recording video of these walk-by reactions? It could be quite fun! At any rate, these animal costumes for dogs are very cool in that they definitely suit our little furry beast and can look very real for a few seconds while your mind figures out exactly what you’re looking at. Just check out this next one:

Ah, the skunk-dog. Should I run? Should I bend down and pet him? I just can’t make up my mind! Normally, I take off when I see a skunk, but there’s just something so. damn. cute. about this one! Maybe it’s the wagging fluffy white tail, or maybe it’s his adorably huge proportions–it is no matter: the important thing is that this dog is freaking cute in his skunk costume!

Ah yes, the food inspired costumes for our dogs. These are always good for a laugh; I just hope the Chinese aren’t watching when I dress my dog up like this! I kid, of course, but seriously people: dogs are not food! And don’t you dare let me catch you dressing your wiener dog dachshund in a hot dog costume; that’s just garishly over the top.

Ah yes, who could resist the McHappy Meal pack? You’ve got Mr. Big Mack over there, the Jack in the Box dog, the Mr. Supersize Fries pooch, and the slaving line cook over there on the left! What a team! I’m not sure you’d want to actually dress them all like this at the same time and walk them together because you might actually send people into cardiac arrest on sight with something as ridiculously, absurdly funny as this… You’ve been warned.

How adorable: the Johny football star quarterback dog costume. I have one of these for my little chihuahua and it is darling. Sports have never been that important to me, but I’d be a lot more stoked about getting involved with them if my dog were running around with little costumes for dogs like this on! You can find these in just about any sport,so if you’re into hockey, there’s a chihuahua clothes hockey costume out there, or a tennis one if you’re into rackets, shorts, and Polo shirts…

This is one of my favorites, although I can’t say the same for the dog wearing it here… he doesn’t look too impressed, does he? I think the whole “oh my god–my dog is being eaten by a crocodile” effect could be enhanced significantly if you could train your dog to take off running on command, while also barking loudly. If you could also train your dog to jump into the river and swim across to the other side and then keep running through a busy pedestrian street with this thing attached to him, water dripping off and everything, I think you might just be the next YouTube star…

Ah, the sweetie pie costumes. The princess dog costume would have to be one of the most popular among little dog owners. I cannot tell you how many little yorkies and chihuahuas I have seen in the past month dressed up in medieval princess costume like this!

And what dog wardrobe is complete without the bride and groom matching set? Seriously, if you have two little dogs, one a boy and the other a girl, you have to get these for them: this is the prima ballerina of dog costumes for small dogs, and getting this set is actually required by dog costume law, in fact.  If you’re caught without these two too-cute costumes in your possession, well, …you’re in trouble, I hear. If you love people to swoon and screech at your dogs’ cuteness, then just train them to quietly green your guests at the door and dress them up in these matching dog outfits. It is certain to be a hit.  Among the pug costumes you can buy out there, this one takes the formal wedding cake, hands down.

For extra bonus points, try taking your dog into a crowded elevator while he’s wearing any of these clothes: you’re sure to be a hit.  Lol.

If you’re interested in buying a few of these for your own dog, I found a few good stores that sell costumes for dogs that you should check out:

This post about crazy costumes for dogs was inspired by this article here:  http://www.dogguide.net/blog/2008/01/some-amazing-dog-costumes-9-of-the-best/ , to give attribution where it is due.  None of the photos on the page are my own: I stole each every one of them off of some other page on the net so that I could provide you with my semi-insane commentary on them.  If you own any of the photos in this post on crazy dog costumes, then just leave me a comment below and I’ll happily swap it for another.

Well that covers this zany episode from the chihuahua clothes blog. I’ll see you next time when I hit you with something probably a little less crazy than the insane world of costumes for dogs, but hopefully something just as fun!  Have fun, folks! -Michelle
