Shopping For Small Dog Accessories, Beverly Hills Chihuahua Style!

Seeing some of the new luxury small dog accessories at the Chihuahua Clothes Store reminds me of of an experience I had last year as a very excited small dog owner who had the chance to shop Beverly Hills and Rodeo Drive for Chihuahua clothing and accessories for my little dogs back at home. I was on my way to Thailand for a few months and had a day-long stopover in L.A., so I raced out of the airport, into a cab, and my friend an I hauled ass over to the small dog fashion mecca of Beverly Hills for an afternoon!

The whole small dog accessory shopping experience reminded me a lot of Chloe’s experience at the start of Beverly Hills Chihuahua, in all seriousness. There were a lot of designer collars for small dogs and little dog booties and these customizable rhinestone dog collars in the windows of all these little pet fashion boutiques along the rich streets of The Hills. I’d seen dog accessories before when shopping for my chihuahua dogs and my other smaller foster dogs, but this was a pet shopping experience on steroids.

There were puppy accessories costing in excess of $1000 a pop, for a diamond studded chihuahua collar charm. There were puppy supplies from luxury labels like Gucci and Chanel, their luxury small dog carrier handbags that would open up on the end to let your little dog in and out. It’s insane what you can find in the way of little dog accessories when you’re in this part of Los Angeles!

There were even small dog clothes woven with cashmere–I have never seen chihuahua outfits so nice. Seeing the rest of the accessories for dogs, the little bling chihuahua accessories and the custom dog collars like we actually carry here at the Chihuahua Shop–it almost made me dizzy, thinking of all the fashion possibilities for dressing up my little doggies back at home!

If you are looking them, go and check out the Chihuahua Clothes store to find great small dog accessories like these. Our chihuahua collar charms are extremely popular right now and so, if you’ve got a little dog you like to dress up and spoil with small dog clothes and accessories, check them out here, and you won’t have have to make the trip to Beverly Hills to find some of the very best chihuahua clothes and jewelry on the planet!

Pug Clothes At The Shop!

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

Designer Dog Accessories For Chihuahuas and Smaller Dogs

Designer dog accessories have become so popular in the pet world with dog owners and their little dogs because they let you create that unique look for your little dog that brings out his personality on the outside, so that everyone–even people who don’t know your little dog–can instantly see who your dog is. Chihuahuas have their designer chihuahua accessories, yorkies have their uniquely Yorkshire Terrior-esque luxury dog accessories to bring out that character they have so much of but that’s typically buried deep within, and puppies of all breeds have their smaller sized designer puppy clothes!

But of course these pet accessories from the designer labels aren’t just for clothing: you’ll see designer dog carriers and other useful dog supplies in the online pet boutiques like The Chihuahua Clothes Shop or GW Little, in addition to the trendy dog clothing at the upper end of the pet fashion scale.

Down here in Mexico, it’s not exactly easy to find designer pet accessories from the local pet stores. If I ever need something that I absolutely can’t buy from an online store–and that’s rare–I’ll ask a friend of mine who travels to both the US and the UK frequently bring me back the luxury chihuahua accessories for my little chihuahua doggies I want, or the designer dog collar I couldn’t order at whatever store online because of their shipping policy. It’s really a pain when you can’t find that designer dog product at the online boutique you like because they have a crappy shipping policy. I know it’s not easy to ship things around the planet with all the extra fees business owners have to find a way to negotiate, but I still think we small dog clothing and accessory stores can do better.

That’s one of the reasons The Chihuahua Clothes Shop has been working very hard on its customer service. The whole reason I started my little designer dog clothes store was because I was fed up with the lousy service of other dog stores I had been working with, and I decided “that’s it! It’s time for a quality designer dog apparel and chihuahua dog accessory store to exist, that doesn’t screw its customers over and that provides nothing but excellent service!”

And that was it. With the help of UrbanPup, I set up the chihuahua shop in a relatively short amount of time as far as businesses are concerned, and now people from all around the world can buy that designer dog leash (we have new ones at the shop, now!), that designer dog apparel for smaller dogs, and those beautiful chihuahua clothes that I’ve seen so many chihuahuas and their owners enjoying (thank you for all the pictures!)

At the Chihuahua Shop, we really focus on small dog clothing and designer dog accessories for chihuahuas and other smaller dogs, but you can find bigger designer dog accessories like designer dog beds at the GW Little designer dog boutique. Both of these stores carry some of the very latest small dog accessories from top designers, and so if I were looking for some supplies for my little dog, those places are where I’d look! I hope that helps 🙂 -Mikey

Dog Cloths: Keeping Little Dogs Safe From The Sun

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

Costumes for Small Dogs: A Different Style For Each Small Dog Breed

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
