Chihuahua Jackets: New Arrivals At The Chihuahua Shop!

So chihuahua clothes lovers, I have some exciting news! The Chihuahua Shop has got a new shipment of chihuahua jackets in stock of some new designs, and there are some super cool new little coats for your small dog in there!

The new jackets for chihuahuas are swanky, to say the least! The four I’ve linked to below for you are just a taste of what you’ll find over at the Chihuahua Shop, now:

Some of these new chihuahua coats are thicker and are for cold weather in the winter months. Some of the other jackets for chihuahuas are a bit lighter and have fleece lining and are for cool weather. And the shop also brought in some new fleece-lined chihuahua raincoats that keep your pets warm and dry when the weather is crap outside but you still want to walk your little doggies!

Chihuahua jackets, for the uninitiated, are primarily for keeping your small dog warm. Especially if you’re the proud owner of a short-haired little dog, like Namaste below, you surely are aware of just how easily your little pup can cool off, get cold, and start shivering in an instant. So the jackets for these little dogs serve the very practical purpose of keeping your pet warm when the weather is not very friendly outside!

The other side of these little jackets for small dogs is that some of them are very stylish and you can have a lot of fun with the chihuahua fashion at work in some of these chihuahua jackets!

If you’re a bit of a chihuahua fashionista, you’ll love these new chihuahua jacket designs at the Chihuahua Shop because a lot of them have definitely been picked with the dog fashion lovers in mind!

You can find all of these new chihuahua jackets right there, at the Chihuahua Shop, along with a lot of new other clothes and accessories for chihuahuas and small dogs that we’ve been bringing in lately. I hope you love them–I think you will!–and be sure to check them out right now! Talk to you again soon. -Mikey

Dog Coats for Small Dogs: Through The Eyes of A Chihuahua

Oh hi there!–it’s Namaste the chihuahua again! Mikey has gone out to buy groceries and it’s my chance do another guest sneak-post here on the chihuahua clothes shop’s blog! I managed to dig through some of the new dog clothing inventory at the store and I managed to drag out some super cool dog coats for small dogs, and I’m going to try and write what I think about them here (if my paws let me…)

I have to say that perhaps my favorite outfit is my snugly warm dog coat my owner got me last year! As a little dog, I get cold down here on the ground, and when I’m not on my walk, and I spend a little time lounging around inside on a hot day in the cooled room, I start to shiver and freeze down here! It gets really cold when you’re all the way down here AND you’re a breed that has a super high metabolism and you shed your body heat quickly.

Hooded Chihuahua ParkasSo any small dog coats that keep me a little warmer, I love! I’m super in love with my dog fleeces and, at night, really like to wear them over top my dog pyjamas. It keeps me nice and comfortable!

Another one of my favorite chihuahua outfits is my high visibility dog coat, for when I’m out walking around at night. I’m not really sure what it’s like up there when you’re walking along the side of the street as a human, but when you’re all of ten inches tall and a loud car goes by a little too close, it’s freaking scary. So I’m definitely a fan of the little dog suits and fleece coats for small dogs that have those fluorescent strips on them so your cars can see me and not run me over! Oh, it freaks me out every time someone zooms by in a loud, noisy automobile! I don’t like it! 🙁

Little Dog Ski ParkasThose are some of my favorites in the little dog coats arena, but I’ve seen so many more styles in the new Chihuahua Store here. There’s these fashion dog coats that have fur lining (fake fur, of course!), these crazy cool quilted parkas with hoods, chihuahua vests with fur collars, and even these little luxury ski parkas for dogs, for when you really want to treat one of us to a life of comfort and warmth in the cold!

Well I have to go and get all these small dog coats for small dogs back in the store before Mikey comes home and sees me, finds out I can type and write about chihuahua clothing, and then puts me to work here full time in the chihuahua shop!! I can’t have anything taking away from my precious lounging time by the pool or my snuggle time with him by his feet while he works on his laptop. I’ll try to write again soon, the next time he leaves the house! xoxo -Namaste!! ..err, ahemm, -a little bird

The Chihuahua Shop: How It Started, and Why

I want to give you a short, nutshell version of the story of why I started the Chihuahua Shop with all the small dog clothing it has today. So here it is, in all it’s full love-hate glory, and it really all begins with me moving in with a girlfriend years ago and, in doing so, becoming a “joint owner” and foster of two little chihuahuas.

Fast forward to today, when I’ve now owned chihuahuas for a number of years and have some experience taking care of these little cutie pies. I’ve always been one to pamper my pooches and I love buying chihuahua clothes for my dogs, but a little while ago, I got super fed up with the deceptive marketing of the different dog clothing stores out there that are selling clothes for chihuahuas, and I finally decided to do something about it.

the chihuahua clothing shop
I got tired of looking at the pictures in the online dog clothing boutiques, getting excited, buying the dog clothes I wanted, and then having them show up late, and the chihuahua clothes being entirely something other than what I expected them to be, and the shirts and sweaters and a lot of the advertised pet costumes being far lower quality than what was advertised. In short, I got tired of being disappointed with small dog vendors online. So I decided to start my own chihuahua store and focus in on just clothing for chihuahuas and similarly small breeds and create a store that sells the kind of small dog clothing that I would want to buy. And I wanted there to be a store selling these clothes that actually has good customer service, that gets back to you promptly when you have a question and that delivers their clothes to you–the customer–on time, every time, and puts you first. Is that too much to ask for these days?! I don’t think it is, and so that’s really why I started my online chihuahua clothes shop.

Now, is the chihuahua shop for everyone? No, it isn’t. Some people like different kinds of clothing for their dogs, like the ultra luxury (and insanely priced) clothing for their little dogs that cost up into the thousands of dollars range, and that’s really not the focus of my store. Personally, I’m into chihuahua outfits that fit well, that are made from high quality materials, and that actually look like the pictures on store’s site, and that don’t leave you broke and selling your clothes off your own back just so you can clothe your little chi (wouldn’t that be a sweet story, though 🙂 )

At my chihuahua store, I try to not just include the standard variety of dog sweaters and shirts and coats that you’ll find in most chihuahua boutiques, but also some very high quality chihuahua accessories like gorgeous Swarovski crystal-studded dog necklaces and other similarly fine dog jewelry. I’m very much into dog bling, so I do my best to find the latest and greatest brand of customizable puppy collars (pictured left) that you can order with your own little dog’s name on in rhinestones and jewels, in your color of choice, so you can beautify and pamper your chiwawa in the luxurious lifestyle she deserves! The aim of all this, of course, is to make your little chihuahua the talk of the town with her unique and exquisite small dog jewelry that will rival most people’s, frankly 🙂

But of course, you can’t really have a chihuahua clothes shop without also including the clothes! So I’m constantly working away to find the best dog jumpers for little doggies and little matching hats for dogs to go with them, so you can give your pooch a complete mini-makeover and really indulge.

And for when the rainy season hits or you’re living in a cooler part of the planet right now, we’re also looking out for you there too, and we have the latest dog raincoats and other types of coats for dogs on our shelves, for helping your dog stay warm on those walks when the weather isn’t on its best behavior, along with a very stylish and practical selection of small dog clothing for both boy and girl chihuahua dogs!

It’s actually kind of insane how many quality small dog products and how much quality small dog apparel is at the Chihuahua Shop right now. I’m working tirelessly to find the best chihuahua accessories on the market right now, like the latest in dog fashionista dog carriers, for example. And I only say it’s insane because of how much stuff for long hair and apple head and deer head chihuahuas (and really: all the other small breeds that are super small like these guys) that I see in the store right now: I’m only interested in stocking super high quality stuff and if it isn’t good, I’m not putting it out there, the way that some chihuahua stores do. It’s wild how much quality effort has been put into make these little dogs cute and adorable and comfortable. These little chihuahuas have got it made–I’m telling you!

Chihuahua Shop: find it here…

Anyways, that’s the scoop on the Chihuahua Shop store, why I started it, and the little accessories and clothing for small dogs we’re carrying right now. I’m very happy with how it’s turning out, and I think that if you have a small dog like a chihuahua or a maltese or a yorkie, you’ll love the chihuahua shop. So head on over, check it out, and I’ll definitely be back here again soon. -Mikey

Puppy Coats for Young Dogs

Puppy coats help keep little dogs warm at night and when living in cooler places. As owners, we get these little coats for our little puppies to make them more comfortable and warm, and sometimes to give them a bit of doggie fashion flair. These little coats for dogs counteract the tendency that chihuahuas and other little dogs have to cool off quickly when not being active and moving around.

If you’ve ever had a smaller dog like a chihuahua, then you know how much little dogs shiver and shake when they’re not running around. Especially at night, you’ll notice how much chihuahuas and other little dogs love to burrow under the covers to try to keep warm with you:

And that’s exactly what chihuahua clothes and cheap and cute puppy coats are for: keeping your little dog warm. They’re little mini coats for puppies, typically made out of similar materials an in a comparable fashion to people coats, and you dress your little dog in them and they help your pooch out by keeping him a lot more warm and comfy.

There are actually some very cool, fashionable styles of these dog coats out there, if you look around in your local pet store or online through a dog coat store. After Paris Hilton set the chihuahua clothes fashion world on fire with her Tinkerbell, a lot of different styles dog clothing came flooding into the market, and a huge selection of puppy coats are now available.

Now, not every puppy coat is made the same: some are definitely more cool and funky and fashionable than others, and some are made to higher quality standards than others. God knows how many different little coats for puppies I’ve tried out that have basically fallen apart with just a couple of weeks of wear. But the upside is that this has allowed me the opportunity to test out quite a few different brands of puppy coats and find some really adorable ones that remain a staple in my chihuahuas’ clothes selection to this day.

Of all the places I’ve bought little coats for puppies, I’ve find the Chihuahua Shop to be the best. They seem to only carry the higher quality brands that won’t fall apart after just a couple weeks of wear.

If you’re looking for a good coat for your puppy, I recommend checking their store out at the banner link below. Chihuahua puppy coats do a great job of keeping little dogs comfortable and warm, and if you like the look of a brand of puppy jacket from another store, my advice is to try and see if you find a place that sells them with a warranty of some kind, but whatever coats you choose for your little young dogs, you’re going to be keeping him stylish and warm, and that’s always a good thing! Speak soon, dog lovers.

Dog Coats and Jackets Help Keep Your Dog Warm and Comfortable

If you live in a place where a lot of people own smaller dogs, you’re surely seeing a lot of dog coats and jackets these days on those small dogs. I take my dogs for a quite a few walks throughout the week, and on cooler days, I pass by a lot of owners with chihuahuas and other little dogs wearing puppy coats. The purpose of these coats for dogs is of course to keep your little dog warm in cooler climates, as smaller dogs tend to cool down easier and shiver more than bigger dogs. If you have a chihuahua for example, it helps to dress her up in clothes for chihuahuas, to compensate for her body’s tendency to shed heat a lot faster than other dogs.

I used to think this whole dog clothing thing was ridiculous, but I’ve changed my mind about this ever since I first became joint-owner of my friend’s chihuahua, and now I’m an advocate of chihuahua clothes because I see how much more comfortable they make my little dogs, allowing my little snuggle bugs to actually enjoy their walks when it’s cold out, instead being stuck in an uncomfortable, non-stop shiver-fest!

Living in Canada last year with my chihuahuas, I bought and tested out quite a few different clothes for my little dogs in the span of about six months. I had doggy snowsuits, puppy sweaters, and the entire warm end of the dog fashion industry that I was dressing up my little dogs with. One of the most useful chihuahua clothes I came across for my little female chi was this dog waterproof coat that would keep her dry whenever it was either raining or snowing. Canada is a cold place, and you can’t really afford to get wet when you’re outside and it’s freezing out! So when it was snowing, this little dog raincoat would keep the flakes off my chihuahua’s back and prevent them from melting on her and getting her wet; and in the spring and fall it would keep the rain off her back and keep her dry and warm on rainy days. This was one of the most useful dog coats and jackets I’ve ever had for my little Namaste, and I had her wear it almostbeige quilted gilet coats for dogs every day when the weather was lousy because it literally took her from a place of not really wanting to go out and walk when it was raining to almost feverishly jumping up on my lap whenever she’d sense that it was walk time–even when it was raining! This little doggy rain coat made a huge change in my chihuahua over the few months I had her wear it.

And of course in the winter, you have the little dog snowsuit to provide that extra warmth your little dog needs in the frigid cold. The snowsuits for dogs help combat the brutally cold weather you face in places with harsh winters, and if you couple them with four little dog boots for your pooch, your little dogs can actually enjoy walking in the winter time–something that is virtually impossible without the aid of these doggy coats and jackets if you’re living in a cooler climate. If you’re like me and you live in a cold place like Canada, then I really recommend you pick up a few dog jackets for winter weather if you have little dogs.

Coats for dogs: where to find them

Coats for dogs help your little dog stay warm when the weather isn’t cooperating. The coats keep help keep your pooch warm when you go out for a walk in the cold, and they help your little bundle of love stay a lot more comfortable while the two of you are out walking, or indoors if you live in a cooler building. You can find these dog jackets at your local pet store, or you can find them online.
