Winter is beginning to rear it’s ugly, uncomfortable, cold head into our days, and out are coming the dog coats and sweaters for the cool season. And it’s not just the winter coats for dogs I’m seeing more of: people are dressing their pets in sweaters for small dogs and other, lighter but warm clothing for dogs. And it’s exciting to work at the Chihuahua Shop right now because I get to see all the latest trends in dog sweaters and dog coats this season!

The balmoral wool sweater for little dogs pictured above is very popular in its new form right now, custom tailored for the new 2011 fall season, directly inspired by this season’s trends on the runway in New York, Rome, London, and Paris! Never before has your little dog looked so trendy in a grey sweater!

And the new chihuahua coats and sweaters for the upcoming cold weather are a behemoth of popularity right now. The small dog jackets and hoodies have long been a hot item, but right now it’s the leather and fur lined dog coats that customers are fighting each other for in the shop, like this black one you see on the right.

But it’s not just leather dog coats and jackets that chihauhuas and other smaller dogs will be wearing this season: the Argyle sweaters will being worn like never before! The Argyle sweaters for dogs are a good alternative for those who aren’t into the whole seasonal grey wool sweater scene. This pink argyle knitted sweater is another hot choice this season for little doggies looking to stay in style while keeping warm!

But if your are looking for a good winter coat for dogs and need something beyond just a few heavy dog sweaters for you little dog and her existing chihuahua clothes, then be sure to check out Chihuahua Shop’s selection of winter coats, such as the camouflage dog parka, or this luxury pink quilted ski parka, pictured below.

I always get excited when a small dog owner strikes up a conversation with me about designer dog coats because not only do we have some killer ones at the Chihuahua Clothes Shop, I had the chance to take stroll through what some would consider the American capital of smaller dogs: New York City. Believe it or not, there are a staggering number of little dogs in that city, and I was able to spend some time there with my chihuahua and two other small dogs I was fostering at the time, this past winter and soak up the sight of all the little dogs walking by in their custom dog coats and their fashionable personalized dog coats from the boutique dog stores in Manhattan. And holy cow, what an eye-opener it was!

I have new seen so many leather dog coats in my life. Central Park was like the luxury dog coats mecca, with mini schnauzers and french bulldogs sporting the latest in pet fashion, and what seemed like armies of chihuahuas and yorkies I passed by that wore designer coats for dogs. I thought L.A. was a hotbed of little dog apparel, but New York City put the city of angels to shame, at least on this trip!

I witnessed some of the most elaborate winter coats for dogs I’ve ever seen. And some of the custom whippet dog coats I saw were absolutely gorgeous in their design and their build quality. I also got to see a whole lot of pink dog coats for a team of Maltese dogs in training outside of a pet training facility in lower Manhattan, and, of course, when you visit one of those, you are going to see a pile of small doggie coats on the back of nearly every smaller dog pulling up in passenger’s seat of his owners car in the winter time, being dropped off for his day’s dog training class. It was almost unbelievable, the sheer volume of dogs there were that were outfitted in the latest designer dog fashion. This is a good city to be a dog!

I have a real soft spot in my heart for little dogs, and so I’m happy to stock some of the best small dog coats I’ve ever seen here at the Chihuahua Shop. They come in sizes for nearly every breed in dog, despite the store’s name, and like I said, they really are some of the best dog coats I’ve ever seen.

If you’re really into the designer fashion dog coats from the super upscale brands like Gucci, Prada, Versace, etc… that’s a little beyond the price range I focus on for the store, but you can check them out over at GW Little if that’s what you’re looking for, for your little dog. They have some gorgeous designer dog jackets and designer dog coats and I highly recommend them if you’re looking for quality designer dog coats, so check them out. The chihuahua coats you’ll find at the Chihuahua Shop are very high quality, and so be sure to check those out as well in your search. I hope this has been helpful, and make sure you check back very, very soon! -Mikey
