I never knew much about dog pants until I started the Chihuahua Shop, even as a chihuahua clothes fanatic. Chihuahua pants were never part of the chihuahua dog fashion outfits my dogs wore. But as my chihuahua costume expert friend here in town informs me, pants for small dogs are very important in completing the look of your chihuahua and making the outfit look how it’s “supposed to.”

I told my friend that if my “supposed to,” he means that these dog pants and dog shorts are supposed to make my chihuahuas look hilarious, that I completely agree with her! When I dress Namaste the chihuahua in chihuahua shorts, I have to hold back from bursting out laughing because when she wears these little shorts for small dogs, it makes her look like a chihuahua carnival worker! Haha, it’s too much for me!

But even in the face of my ridicule, my friend asserts that pants for dogs are very in vogue right now in the chihuahua clothes world, and that chihuahua doggie pants now have designer labels making different cuts of designer dog pants and doggie shorts for the super upscale dogs in Beverly Hills that are living the life of luxury and complete pampering.

I’ve discussed this issue of doggie pants with a few other friends who have chihuahuas and types of toy breed dogs, and they agree that the chihuahua dog jeans and chihuahua skirts can look pretty ridiculous when they’re paired with the wrong small dog outfit, but that some chihuahua costumes really do call for a pair of chihuahua dog pants to make them look proper and not like your little dog is naked and running around streaking, with a formal looking shirt on and no pants.

To that, I have to concede the point, because they have one there. And so if you’re dog is running around without his chihuahua pants on and he looks like he’s streaking, lol, then you can solve this problem by heading over to the Chihuahua Shop and having a look at the new very high quality dog pants we are now selling.

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

The post Dog Cloths: Keeping Little Dogs Safe From The Sun appeared first on Chihuahua Clothes.

I’ll be honest: if someone had recommended I buy my dog a pair of pyjamas a couple of years ago, I would have thought they were on crack. Even today in the pet stores: “why on earth would my dog need a pair of dog pyjamas?!” many pet owners continue to exclaim when they first see them on the shelves in the dog clothing isle.

My bewilderment came down to the thing I had in common with these in the pet stores today: I had never looked after, owned, fostered, or HAD a chihuahua, or any small short hair dog for that matter!

Once you finally spend a bit of time with one of these little guys in your life, you quickly discover that they spend an inordinate amount of time shaking and shivering! And it gets a little hard to watch after a while; “that can’t be comfortable,” you think.

And it’s the worst for these little dogs at night, because it cools down even further and the dogs are often snoozing close to or actually on the floor–where all the coldest air resides–and so they curl themselves into a little ball and just try to huddle up and keep as warm as they can while also shivering their little buts off, often.

And that’s where these dog pyjamas come in: they keep your dog a lot more more at night so this doesn’t happen, basically. They also happen to make your dog look ridiculously cute

I was first introduced to dog pajamas years ago: my friend had bought a pair of them for her little yorkie, and I’ll admit it: I laughed when I saw them. I just couldn’t see the reason for buying pyjamas for your dog–“they have a coat of hair after all, don’t they? They don’t wear little pairs of puppy pajamas in the wild!” So I gave my friend a hard time for dressing her little doggy in these flannel dog pants and the little dog night shirt. The whole idea of it seemed funny to me, even if that little dog did look insanely cute in those pyjamas….

The thing was, though, that up until that point, I had only ever owned and fostered bigger breeds of dogs: labradors, pit bulls, boxers, and a cocker spaniel. I had never had a need to dress any of my dogs up in doggie sweaters or any of those K-9 coats or anything like that. My dogs were just always seemed to be warm enough without any additional help from clothing during the day or at night from little pyjamas for dogs!

Fast forward a few years: I get into a relationship, and my new girlfriend has a chihuahua and a yorkie of her own, and they both shiver at night–especially the chihuahua.  I had never lived with little dogs before so I had never seen this, but now it made sense to me!  These little dogs actually do benefit from wearing their cute puppy pyjamas while they sleep.  Otherwise, they jump up on the bed and try to burrow under the covers and snuggle as close as possible with me just to stay warm!  So it wasn’t long after meeting my girlfriend that I was introduced full-time to the vast world of chihuahua clothes and all these different little coats and outfits for dogs!

There were sweaters and coats, costumes, and yes: even little dog pyjamas that they wore at night.  I still find it a little funny, but now my little snuggle bugs come running over to me whenever I pick up a pair of clothes for chihuahuas in my house, practically begging for me to put them on them to make them more comfortable!  They love these little dog jumpers and puppy sweaters… all of it!  They look so cute all dressed up in their fashionable night pajamas for dogs!

Anyway, enough of my story.  I’m sure you know what I mean when I say that little dogs look adorable in their dog pyjamas.  I still find it a little funny and have to laugh sometimes when I see my little doggies running around the corner with their little chihuahua pajamas on, but I know it keeps them warmer and more comfortable at night, which is all I really care about.  I’ve built up quite a collection of these little night clothes for my little adopted pooches and I’ve tried a lot of different retailers both offline and online when buying dog pyjamas for my chihuahua and my other little dogs, but my favorite lately has been this store here: GW Little.  If you’re looking for a good pair of pyjamas for your little dog, click that link and it will take you to their selection, and you’ll find some of the best ones available.  I hope that’s helpful, I’ll talk to you again soon! -Michelle
