Pug clothes have got to be the truest sign that the universe has both a sense of humor and an adorable sense of fashion. That’s probably why we added some of the best pug clothing I’ve seen anywhere to the store, along with the fact that these clothes for small dogs are among my absolute favorite pet fashion outfits of all time! As someone who works in the pet fashion industry, I’ve seen a log of cool, funky accessories for dogs and chihuahua clothes that can make any teacup chihuahua look so cute it could kill you, but clothes for pugs usually take it even further because they’re combining with those fantastic wrinkles, and render your little dog an adorable rump of wrinkled fashion dog fun! Haha!

A have a friend who is literally obsessed with clothes for pugs. She has four pugs she calls her own, and she’s given them each a style of their own. Each pug dog has its own wardrobe with specific clothes he or she wears, and, according to my friend, they each have their own preferences as to which do clothes they like to wear. I almost died laughing the first time my friend related this news to me, but then I stepped into her apartment for the first time and I simply couldn’t laugh: I was too blown away by the portal I had just walked through when I entered through the door and into this world of PUG. It was overwhelming.

Two of the little wrinkled beasts were wearing designer pug dog jumpers, looking ready to run a marathon at any instant! Another one was wearing is pug fashion outfit that looked like pug clothing from the Lady Gaga line or something outlandish and otherworldly: it had these crystal pieces jetting off of the back and shoulders of the dog, making it look like Gaga’s “Poker Face” costume, only adapted into a little pug pet fashion!

And the last pug had on this funky neon pink dog vest underneath two layers of pug coats. I asked my friend why on earth her pug was wearing so many layers when it’s well known that pugs can overheat so easily. Apparently, this guy loves to hang out with his owner in the air conditioned bedroom in her apartment, but he freezes and starts shivering without the clothes. Hence the pug with the nearly onion-layered pet apparel!

I’m really not sure how I collected so many friends that are all into small dog clothes to this degree. Believe me: there are many, and it almost freaks me out when I think about it… how exactly did this happen?? It must be that secret thing and “the law of attraction,” lol.

Well what is certain is that there are now some of the most attractive pug clothes I have ever seen at the little online doggie boutique we call the Chihuahua Clothes shop (mainly because our mascot is a chihuahua, but the clothing we carry comes in sizes for all breeds of smaller dogs), and if you’re looking for pug shirts or pants or a little costume for your pug, you should definitely go check it out now. Go check it out, and I’ll be back here again soon with the latest crazy story from life lived inside the small dog clothing world! Speak 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

I have a confession: ever since I got my first two chihuahuas years ago, I’ve been slightly obsessed with chihuahua apparel. Maybe it’s all the comments your little dogs get when they’re wearing small dog clothes, or perhaps it’s the way chihuahua clothes make your little doggie’s face look even more adorable when its peering out of a little chihuahua costume… I don’t know what it is exactly, but it was enough to make me start the Chihuahua Shop a little while ago so I could help other fashion passionate owners of small dogs find some of the best apparel for chihuahuas on the planet.

In the past few years, I have seen my fair share of dog T-shirts and dog sweaters for chihuahuas. I’ve been to the little doggie fashion shows, where owners parade their pets around on the runway, sporting some new style of chihuahua dog apparel, strutting their stuff for a designer label of some sort. If you’ve even been to one of these doggie fashion shows, you’ll know what I mean when I say they don’t always go exactly as planned! Sometimes the chihuahuas and yorkies have to “go” on stage and it creates a rather comical (and stinky) scene amid the dog fashionistas!

But on a more serious note (if there is such at thing when we’re talking about chihuahua clothes…), dog holiday costumes or a niche chihuahua shirt is often a surprisingly effective gift for someone you care about who has chihuahuas or another breed of small dog. Most chihuahua owners care deeply about their little fur children, and when you show those dog-children some fashion love, the owner usually reacts very warmly and is happy about the whole thing!

In addition to chihuahua apparel, the Chihuahua Store has seen the addition of some very fashionable chihuahua dog jewelry over the past few months. So now, in addition to picking up those two adorable chihuahua vests you see in the store catalogue and those other clothes for chihuahuas that are so freaking cool, you can accessorize your little canine gift-target with Swarovski crystal-laced necklaces and other dog bling that takes the whole notion of dog apparel to the next level.

But moving away from the dog accessories for a moment and back onto apparel for chihuahuas, as far as the fringe pet fashion for chihuahuas is concerned, I’ve been going through the chihuahua store’s dresses. I’ve been noticing a lot of people are really liking the chihuahua princess dress this spring and now into to the summer. It seems that the Brits want to have their afternoon tea party with their chihuahuas and other small dogs in their UK homes (and tower castles), and the Americans are enjoying their Sunday afternoon picnics at the dog park with their pet fashion friends, which I think is very cool. Any time you can spend time with friends, in nature, with a fashion focus; that is chihuahuatastic! Haha!

If you’d like to see what I believe is some of the very best chihuahua clothing online right now, visit the Chihuahua Shop (there’s a link below). We carry casual canine clothes for your little chiwawa baby, and the designer doggy coats for your badass chihuahua boy. Wherever your fascination lies with chihuahua apparel, you will very likely find the object of your chihuahua fashion obsession there! -Mikey
