Fleece Dog Jackets for Small Dogs

I’ve been looking at different fleece dog jackets to bring to the Chihuahua Shop for the upcoming cool months we have ahead. Right now, we have the best fleece-lined dog hoodies and sweatshirts (pictured left) that I’ve ever seen for chihuahuas, small dogs, and even bigger dogs, that you can even customize with a message of your own. I also stock some of the most fashionable fleece-lined dog parkas I have yet to come across. But then again, I’m always on the lookout for the latest and greatest chihuahua clothes and dog coats to bring to the Shop, and I make my own two chihuahuas wear their little chihuahua fleece dog jackets, so that’s not exactly a surprise!

My dad, of all people, recently bought these fleece dog jackets for his two bigger dogs, a pit bull mix and a golden retriever. They’re those equafleece for dogs jackets, and they look pretty cool. One of them is this neon yellow dog jumper and the other is this bright pink! I told him to buy a chihuahua dog fleece just like it for the Chihuahua Shop’s model, Namaste, so she can stay warm the next time she visits Canada when papa is visiting friends overseas in the UK and elsewhere in Europe!

Fashionable Fleece Dog Jackets?

But I’ve been looking at the fleece dog jackets and the designer fleece dog coats at the other shops online and there’s nothing new that I haven’t seen that’s really inspiring me right now. Not that small dog coats for winter, or even for bigger dogs for that matter, are that exciting: usually even the sweaters for small dogs have more fashion style and flair than the dog fleeces, but I was hoping to find at least one new fleece dog jacket that I thought was kinda cool and funky.

Outside of the fleece dog jackets we carry at the Chihuahua Shop, I’ve only seen one fido fleece dog coat that my friend owns that I really, really like. It has this creative, artistic fleece dog coat pattern on it that she actually knit herself into the fleece fabric of her chihuahua’s coat, and so I can’t exactly replicate it and start selling it for you at the store, so for now, the chihuahua clothes and the chihuahua fleece coats at the Shop are among the best fleece dog jackets and clothes you can find anywhere for chihuahuas, other little dogs, and depending on the model of the fleece: sometimes even for bigger dogs, too.

Where To Find Fleece Dog Jackets

A lot of chihuahua owners dress up their dogs in chihuahua clothes to keep their little doggies warm. Chihuahuas really do cool off quickly in the cold weather, and so if you haven’t seen the fleece dog jackets at the Chihuahua Shop yet, I encourage you to head over there and check them out. In fact, if you act fast, most of these dog fleeces are on sale right now, as part of our summer sale, so you can pick up some great fleece dog jackets for you chihuahuas right now at a discounted rate! Head over to the Shop, check them out, and I’ll speak to you again soon! -Mikey

Pink Dog Collars

It’s been a lot of fun watching the new pink dog collars arrive at the Chihuahua Shop. Not only for myself and for my chihuahua clothes loving little dogs, but for my gay friend who has a serious pink fetish, …or something like that. Everything my friend buys has to be pink. His puppies’ collars are pink puppy collars, and his chihuahua’s collar is a pink chihuahua collar. Like I said, if my friend has something, it’s pink.

My friends first dog collar was a pink camo dog collar. Apparently, my friend found his lust for pink at an early age, when all his brothers were into black and blue some of the darker, more masculine colors; my friend felt the need to rebel and be different and stand out by embracing that trend where every guy started wearing pink shirts and that whole craze. And so, of course, along with that came the pink dog clothes for his chihuahua, a pink spiked dog collar for his yorkie, and pink dog collars for all the other little dogs in his life, including a few foster chihuahua rescues!

The Pink Dog Collars Insanity Continues!

But it didn’t stop there. In addition to the pink rhinestone dog collar my friend bought for his girlfriend’s first chihuahua, he listened to Pink, the musician; he painted his nails pink; he chewed pink bubble gum; and he even died his hair pink, to go along with his pink clothes. It’s no wonder that his chihuahua at the time was sporting a pink studded dog collar!

So today when I visit my pink friend, I’m no longer phased when I step through the door into his living room and I spot pink dog collars on all of his pets, including his cats. I’m not surprised when I see girl dog collars on his male dog–I have to say: they wear the pink collars for dogs very well! I actually expect to see pink chihuahua accessories hanging off the pink doggie collars of all his pets, and save for one of the kitties, my pink expectations hit the mark!

I tell my friend about the pink designer dog collars and the new custom Diamante dog collars we’ve been getting in at the Chihuahua Shop, and he almost turns pink with happiness. Ok, well not really, but he won’t shut up about his pink dog collars collection after I get him started on those new Chihuahua Shop pink collars! It’s quite the thing with him.

I’ve met a few people before with a passion for the color pink, but my friend here tops them all. Pink chihuahua collars?–check. Pink chihuahua clothes on all his toy breed dogs?–check. Pink puppy collars on all his neighbors’ little dogs, courtesy of his generosity in gifting?–check. Pink dog collars of every shape and size and style imaginable?–you betcha. The dog world is colorless fashion landscape for my friend and his mission in life is to color it pink. If I so muchvisit the chihuahua clothes shop as mention that my chihuahua sometimes wears a new Wizard of Oz green dog collar, he flips and starts chewing on his pink finger nails and starts stammering on about how I need to buy a few pairs of jeweled pink dog collars, so I have spares in case I lose one, and so I can send a message to the world that “pink dog collars the alpha and the omega of puppy collars!” Did I mention my friend is gonzo-Hemingway-nuts for pink!?

Enough! Where Can I Find These Cool Pink Dog Collars?

Anyway, I’m getting exhausted and starting to see pink just thinking about all this. If you’re a fan of stylish dog collars and pink dog collars, then click over to the Chihuahua Shop online, here, and check them out. The Shop carries some of the best pink chihuahua clothes and pink dog collars to satisfy all your pink pet needs, so check them out, go crazy, and I’ll speak to you again very soon 😉 -Mikey

Puppy Accessories and The Land of Fashion Diva Puppies

I had a surreal experience this weekend: I got to see the Mecca of puppy accessories for chihuahuas and other little breed puppies. My chihuahua clothes fanatic friend took me for a weekend getaway, and her little chihuahua puppy tagged along in her chihuahua accessories (she wore a puppy collar charm and two hair bows from the Chihuahua Store!) My friend wouldn’t even tell me where we were headed, just that I had to see it and that there were going to be a lot of little dogs dressed up in puppy accessories like I would not believe.

Puppy Accessories Mecca

And my god, was she ever right! Now, I live in a rather competitive chihuahua puppy clothes environment where owners are constantly trying to outdo each other with the chihuahua collars and the puppy accessories they dress up their little dogs with, but this little town my friend took me to on the other side of the bay… holy luxury dog clothes mole! First, we drove around to the one beach-side village that was the end of the line and you couldn’t drive any further, and so we had to grab our little dogs, wearing their cute dog collars and pet accessories for dogs as per my friends instructions that we had to look the part, and we hopped into a water taxi that took us about another 25 minutes around the rain forest bay to the town at the southern mouth of the bay. And stepping off the boat and onto the pier, I was amazed: I had left planet earth and entered the realm of chiwawa puppies and puppy accessories!

There were SO many little chihuahuas wearing small dog accessories I almost couldn’t count. Apparently, all the little dog-loving owners come out to this town on certain weekends to gather and hold this puppy boutique fiesta, complete with silent auctions on the latest puppy clothes and puppy accessories for their tiny chihuahuas and their yorkies and their other little doggies.

I asked some of them why they held their parties there, at this part of the bay, and they told me that because it is because the place is both so extremely beautiful and because it is remote they can be alone with their little dogs in their puppy fashion insanity without having to worry about feeling strange about having their little dogs wearing puppy accessories to the extent they had dressed up their little puppies with: to complete puppy diva-dom!

I had to agree: this tiny beach town was gorgeous: it starts on this wide stretch of beach and climbs up, into the mountain side and then descends back down the other, back down to the beach: it’s a picturesque little beach hideaway for these puppy fashion fanatics! And there were more chihuahua pups wearing puppy collars and designer puppy accessories that you could shake a stick at. Even the restaurants along the beach had these little puppy beds out in the sand, for the homeless beach puppy dogs to come in a rest when they wanted a respite from the hot sun. It was awesome.

Saying Goodbye to The Land of Puppy Accessories

I was a little sad, leaving this town of Yelapa, but all things come to an end, and I had to step back into the real world. There’s only so long when you’re surrounded by all of these little chihuahua puppy fashion divas before you start to get weirded out and feeling like they are the society and you are their pet! Like I said: this puppy world with all the puppy accessories was like something out of a bizarre fairy tale!

I picked up this beautiful puppy harness from one of the women there, selling puppy accessories, and I’m going to see if we can bring it in to the Chihuahua Shop because it’s gorgeous with these emerald green crystals that sparkle in the sun like I have never seen! It would make a great addition to the designer chihuahua clothes and puppy accessories we already carry at the Chihuahua Shop, and if you haven’t seen our new selection of these puppy accessories for yourself, I invite you to click on over and check them out. And with that, I’ll be back here again soon, with another story from the insanely cute and adorable world of puppy accessories!

Chihuahua Rescue Using Chihuahua Clothes

This is probably going to sound a little weird, but I used to work chihuahua rescue for a local dog shelter, and I would use chihuahua clothes on the rescued chihuahuas to help them get adopted a lot faster. That’s actually one of the reasons I love chihuahua fashion so much: it’s so useful in making dogs look adorable, and when it comes to chihuahua rescue, appearances are everything!

I used to invite potential chihuahua adopters to all come over at the same time, on the same day, all five people who were interested in the same little chihuahua rescue doggie, all showing up at my place or at another foster’s pad at the same time to all see the chihuahua rescue at the same time. Nine times out of ten, when the rescued chihuahua was “naked” and not wearing chihuahua clothes, the people would see the little antisocial chihuahua rescue (if he was antisocial) and they’d start talking about his personality and how it might be hard to fit him into their home and how it might be hard to train him, and this and that. Personally, I think chihuahuas are the easiest breed of dog to train, rehabilitate, correct–whatever you want to do–because they are so small and really don’t do much “damage” even when you are working on their issues and they do something you don’t like. But that’s beside the point, here. Back to chihuahua rescue and how chihuahua clothes fit in:

The Chihuahua Rescue Dogs And Their Clothes

What I noticed is that when I’d do the same exact thing–when me and my volunteer friends were out saving chihuahuas off the streets and from bad homes, and we’d come to foster them, and then line up the 4 or 5 potential adopters to come over at the same time on the same day–and I dressed the chihuahua rescues in cute chihuahua clothes, it was a completely different story.

Instead of talking about the chihuahua rescue’s problems and how it might be so hard fostering chihuahuas that are damaged and these abandoned chihuahuas, etc; they would be talking about how awesome the little chihuahua rescue was and how they want to adopt her, and they’d almost break out fighting right there in my home over who was going to adopt this little chihuahua rescue dressed up in tiny chihuahua outfits!

It was hilarious to watch the same scene play out over and over again! It got to the point for me and some of the other people fostering chihuahuas that chihuahua rescues were a piece of cake to adopt out.

Abandoned chihuahuas rescued from the side of the road yesterday and spent the night at the dog pound over night? No problem: give him to us, we’ll dress him up in chihuahua clothing from the Chihuahua Shop, take some photos of him and then post them on Dogster, and within a few days we’d have enough potential adopters to hold another one of our adopt-a-chihuahua days at one of the fosters’ homes and get another chihuahua rescued and adopted into a good home. It was like clock work!

So I definitely have a soft spot in my heart when I see a chihuahua rescue and the people who helped rescue that chihuahua, who acted as a chihuahua foster, or who adopted a chihuahua: I think it is so awesome! My own two chihuahuas are chihuahua rescues, including Namaste, the Chihuahua Shop’s mascot.

So for all of you involved in chihuahua rescue, volunteering your time, I freaking salute you: you rock, and the world needs you. My advice is to help them get adopted easier by dressing them up in chihuahua clothes from the Chihuahua Shop before taking their pictures you’ll post online for people to see, or before showing the chihuahua rescue to potential adopters in person. And that will almost always help you get a chihuahua adoption with less work! Keep up the great work and keep rescuing chihuahuas, you amazing people!

Designer Dog Carriers for Chihuahuas

When it comes to the designer dog carriers out there for chihuahuas and the other little breeds of dogs, there are really nice ones that have just been released and we’ve been bringing them into the Chihuahua Shop over the past week! It’s been super exciting, watching these luxury dog carriers come in, because now, not only can you doll up your chihuahua in the latest chihuahua clothes, you can carry her around in style in her very own designer doggie carrier fir for a fashion queen!

I see a lot of these pet carrier hand bags on the bus, actually! I get on the bus to head into Puerto Vallarta down here, and I just bring my chihuahua on by hand, carrying her. But I see so many other people using a chihuahua carrier to transport their dogs with them. I guess some people figure that if you’re going to carry your dog with you wherever you go, you may as well do it in chihuahua style!

And that’s exactly what these designer pet carrier bags are: they are like the airplane of transportation for dogs. You take your chihuahua with you in a designer dog carrier, and it’s like giving her the royal spa treatment. These bags provide your dog with a nice comfy place to rest while you take her somewhere, and they let you sneak your dog into places you would otherwise not be allowed to bring your chihuahua or other breed of toy dog. Haha, I’ve used designer dog bags in the past to sneak my chihuahuas onto planes, trains, and automobiles, literally!–so I can definitely attest to the effectiveness of these luxe dog carriers doubling as a sneak transport system for your little doggie.

The Chihuahua Shop now carries some very high quality designer dog carriers for your little doggies, and I really recommend you check them out if you’re looking for a posh dog carrier to transport you chihuahua dog around in! Alright, I’ll talk to you again very soon! -Mikey
