Puppy Clothes: Finding The Best Outfits For Young, Little Dogs

view Puppy Clothes at the Chihuahua Shop

There’s something about puppies, isn’t there?–that just begs you to dress them up in cute little puppy clothes! A few years ago, I would have laughed at the notion. But now I’m a puppy fashion convert: I dress all of my little doggies up in the latest puppy couture and my foster puppies in their little puppy dresses and coats for dogs, and the whole bit. It’s a bit of a puppy clothing circus in my house these days, but there’s nothing like having fashionable puppies running around by your feet that you know are more comfortable and warm during these winter months! And even when it’s warmer out, young dogs are always cuter when they’re sporing a little pet haute couture, aren’t they?!

I’ve been shopping around, looking for the best puppy clothes that I can find for my little dogs for a while now, and some of my favorite places to find them include GlamourDog.com, the Posh Puppy Boutique, PamperedPuppy.com, the Yuppy Puppy Boutique, G.W. Little, and our very own Chihuahua Shop. All of these places have some great clothes for puppy dogs, and they all have quality service, in my experience.

The most popular clothes for puppies definitely fall into into one of two categories: the fashion category; or the practical, warm one. The flashy, glamour puppy clothes like the dresses for pups and the fashion t-shirts that you can customize and personalize in stores like Chihuahua Shop have always been a hit with puppy lovers. As you’ve probably noticed, small dog owners seem to really love pampering their pooches by dressing them up and making them super adorable for all their friends to see!

And the other type of puppy clothing–the puppy coats and jackets and sweaters for these younger dogs–are also big with new dog owners. Puppies tend to get cold more easily than older dogs that are bigger and that have more developed immune systems and thicker coats of fur, and so puppy owners tend to dress up their puppies in these warm clothes to keep them warm and more comfortable, as a kind of weather protection for them.

Dog owners do sometimes also fall for those ultra adorable puppy costumes for smaller pet dogs, but those are mostly seasonal and confined to the holidays: you don’t see a lot of puppies walking around outside with costumes on, unless you have really fun friends who like to play around with their pup’s fashion and get a laugh out of people with some unusual and creative clothing for their puppies!

In my opinion, the best puppy clothes are found in the online dog clothing boutiques. The above mentioned dog clothing stores are great places to start. Of course, you can always check out your local pet stores and see what puppy outfits they carry. The advantage with that is that you’ll usually be able to bring your pup in with you to actually try the clothes out on, right there in the store! But you might find the selection rather limited compared to the variety of clothes for puppies you’ll find on the internet once you start searching. So have a look around, find those perfect puppy clothes for your young little doggy, and, of course, have fun with this cool dog fashion!

To All Chihuahua Clothes Lovers: Happy 2012!

My two chihuahuas are looking rather spiffy in their winter chihuahua coats. Namaste, my model chihuahua, is not exactly fond of the snow, but she’s getting used to it again. Slowly.

Exciting News: I’m completely renovating the main page of this little blog so that when you first visit, you’re going to see a concise catalogue summary of my very favorite chihuahua clothing from all of my favorite online dog clothing boutiques. I’ve been searching around for months, collecting my top picks and the very best of the best clothes for these little dogs, and I think you’re going to love what I have in store for you. I’m working hard to make things easier for those of you looking for the coolest, most stylish and fashionable chihuahua clothes, and I think you’re going to LOVE the new home page of our site, here, once I’ve got it up and running in just another day or so. So be sure to stay tuned!

In other news: I’ve added the Facebook commenting system to the site, so feel free to add your two cents to any posts on the site as your real self. I think the Facebook system ads a personal touch that is much more meaningful than the standard, anonymous commenting system, so I really encourage you to use it over the standard blog commenting thing (which I’ve still left up for you to use if you want), if you have a Facebook account.

This year, I’m going to be adding a lot more content and putting more emphasis on video and audio reviews of new small dog clothing and outfits for chihuahua dogs, so things will be getting a bit more interesting on here. I know that I like to write a lot and that some of these posts can get a little long-winded, so I’m going to be making the switch to video and audio more often to make things a bit more entertaining for you! Hopefully it will break up the monotony of the solely text-based posts I’ve been putting out on this site for the past year 🙂

Anyway, enough jibber jabber. My chihuahuas are getting restless over here, wanting their walk, and it’s time for me to dress them up in their January 2012 winter chihuahua clothes and take them on their morning walk! Again, I hope you have a great January, a great new year, and make sure you check back very soon for some exciting updates to the site. If love to dress your chihuahuas in cute clothes, then you’re going to want to see what I have in store for you! Happy new year! -Mikey

Dog Clothes For Dressing Up Your Dogs In Clothing

view Dog Clothes at our shop!

Dog clothes are everywhere today, and whether you’re into chihuahua dog clothes or you’re more a cute dog clothes shopper, it’s these stylish dog clothes that dog owners are flocking to today. My neighbors, and all the pet owners of the little beach town I live in today is going gaga when they shop dog clothes online, and I’m lucky enough to get to see all this chihuahua clothing and these funky dog clothes on their little pets all the time!

Dog clothing does have its detractors, though, and while I think chihuahua clothing is totally fabu and that dressing up your dog in the most fashion-tastic designer dog clothes can be a lot of fun and a very good thing, not everyone feels the same. There are people who completely scoff at the very notion of dog fashion, and believe it to be cruel to dress a dog in an extra layer of fur.

Dog Clothes – Is There A Downside?

I think we have to respect their doggie clothes opinion, because not all of use have seen dog dresses and dog coats used in the same way. I know I have personally seen small dogs wearing heavy, thick dog clothes in the middle of the searing summer, when they’re out in the summer sun and the heat is bearing down on their and their small dog clothes, and that’s not at all cool in my books.

I think this goes without saying, but in terms of dog outfits, you have to use common sense with these little dog clothes, and dog clothing for all breeds of pet dogs. If you’re going to shop for new dog clothing at the Chihuahua Shop, or wherever it is that you buy your toy dog clothes, then please please PLEASE make sure you clothe your dogs responsibly and that you’re not going to make them wear dog clothes out in the sun and cause them to suffer in the heat!

Dog Clothes: Where To Shop For Them

But if you’re like the VAST majority of dog owners who dresses up her dogs in dog fashion, and you have some basic sense about this 🙂 then you probably know what I mean when I say that dog clothes are just about the coolest thing ever when it comes to shopping for your dog. Small dog clothing lets you dress up your dog and give him or her the look of your choosing, and you can have so much dog fashion fun with that. Do I say have fun with dog clothes and enjoy the entire dog clothing experience!

Pet Clothes for Dogs

Taking inventory of our pet clothes for dogs at the Chihuahua Shop yesterday, I couldn’t help but have a smile on my face! This chihuahua dog pet clothing is so freaking cute, I could almost explode! I usually get pretty excited when I’m shopping for chihuahua clothes and pet clothes for dogs that are a little bigger, but it’s always so fun checking out the Shop because their dog pet clothing is second to none.

As the owner of a shop that sells small pet clothes for dogs, I have to keep up on the latest trends. But not just because I have to keep the Chihuahua Shop updated: my neighbors in the little beach town I live in are chihuahua obsessed and they have more pet dog clothing and little chihuahua pet clothes for their tiny dogs than you can shake a bone at. I’m telling you: if you combined all of the pet clothes for dogs in this chihuahua town, you’d literally have a small mountain of chihuahua clothes on your hands!

Maybe it’s because Sayulita was the town featured in the first Mexican scene of Beverly Hilly Chihuahua, that cute dog movie with all the dogs wearing pet clothes for dogs, and then neighboring Puerto Vallarta was featured for even more time, later on in the film. But wherever the pet dog clothes craze comes from in this town, I am constantly surrounded by little dogs wearing these cute pet chihuahua clothes, and they almost can’t be ignored! If you like watching little dogs prance around in pet clothes for dogs, then not only would you enjoy going on a shopping spree for pet clothes for small dogs, you’d most likely enjoy coming down to this funky, bohemian surf town and just watching all the chihuahuas prance around the town plaza in their pet clothes for chihuahuas with their loving owners!

Pet Clothes for Dogs: The Current Trend

I’ve spent a lot of time observing the pet clothing for dogs on this part of the planet, and what I’ve been seeing over the past year is that dog owners are tending to buy the more stylish, fashionable pet clothes for dogs, right now. In the past, the pet clothing for little dogs that sold hand over fist every time were the practical outfits: the coats, the chihuahua sweaters, the pet clothing for chihuahua dogs that were designed to keep your little pets warm.

What what I’m seeing today is a reversal in that trend: pet owners are buying more of the stylish pet clothes for dogs than the warm ones. People want to make their doggies into fashion divas and pop culture, trendy fashionista chihuahuas that grab people’s attention. And from what I see, the entire pet industry of chihuahua clothes for dogs is not only moving more in this direction, now, it’s accelerating in that direction, toward the chihuahua dresses and the chihuahua pet fashion costumes, and all these flashy pet clothes for dogs that make your dog look adorably cool and trendy.

Now, the standard dog clothes and those funny pet clothes for dogs that make you pup look like a bumble bee or a lion are still out there, and they’ll be around for a long time to come. But I think the major innovations and the new creative focus of pet dog clothes designers is going to be on the funky fashion pet costumes for dogs, and that the latest and greatest pet fashion is going to be coming out of that end of the dog clothing spectrum.

Where Do You Find These Pet Clothes For Dogs?

You can find these new chihuahua clothes and these more stylish pet clothes for dogs at the Chihuahua Shop, along with the warm, functional dog clothing as well, if shopping for cooler weather dog clothing. So go check out the store now, I’ll talk to you again soon, and good luck in your search! -Mikey

Teacup Chihuahua Clothes

view Teacup Chihuahua Clothes at the Chihuahua Shop

I’ve been seeing a lot of teacup chihuahuas dressed up in teacup chihuahua clothes lately. The seaside town I live in is already abundant with dog owners who love chihuahuas, but it seems that nothing attracts a crowd like a crowd, and now more chihuahua owners are moving in. The small dog clothes at the Chihuahua Shop are perfect for these little buggers, as we carry an extra super small size for these tiny teacup chihauhua dogs who have owners who need to dress them up in their adorable chihuahua clothes on a daily basis!

Take this little teacup chihuahua for example:

Now, he’s pretty cute on his own, but even with some cheap teacup chihuahua clothes, he would look WAY cuter! Throw in some little dog accessories, maybe a few chihuahua dog dresses, and then a cute chihuahua costume that makes him look like a little lady bug or something wildly irresistible like that and I don’t think anyone with a camera who likes little dogs would be able to unglue their camera lens from your dog and their finger from the shutter button! Seriously, you would have a chihuahua fashion cuteness overload problem on your hands!

Just on a boat ride the other day to this little rock island where there’s some good scuba diving around where I live, there was this guy in the boat with a teacup chihuahua that was wearing this floral dog dress set that was almost too much. It was part Hawaiian shit, part ball down, and this little long haired teacup chihuahua looked so comfortable and at-ease and relaxed in her little dress set, as the boat rocked up and down over the crashing waves! It was surreal!

Then, when we got to this rock island, there was another person I’ve seen shopping at the Chihuahua Shop who had her teacup out with her, wearing this designer pink and white dress set that looked perfect for the part of the doting little pet, following her master back and forth on the little island of rocks. She was too cute!

Chihuahua clothing like this, when it’s worn by a micro teacup chihuahua, is almost dangerous because of how fragile these dogs can be and how much attention they attract from strangers. Especially kids here in Mexico, in a culture where dogs aren’t normally regarded in the same manner that we do in the US or in Europe or Thailand or the other parts of the planet that have a more humane mindset when it comes to dogs (of which there are many–I know–but I can only list so many 🙂 ) the kids like to just grab whatever passes in front of them, and if they’ve seen their dad kick the dog at home one too many times, they’ll often try to do the same. It’s really not a good place to be a dog, down here in this country, unless they’re living with the right owner and taken care of!

Anyway, dressing your teacup chiwawa up in dog clothes, even when you’re in Mexico, isn’t usually a problem. And if you think it will be, you can always select one of the beautiful designer teacup chihuahua carriers the Chihuahua Store carriers, to help you transport your chiwawa around with you from hostile environment to hostile place!

Of course, if you really want to take that chihuahua fashion diva effect your little teacup dog will have when wearing her clothes and take it up a notch, you can adorn her with teacup chihuahua accessories and use a little teacup chihuahua harness to parade her around town to show her off to all the other animal lovers wherever you live!

On the more practical side, most teacup owners I know own at least a few teacup chihuahua sweaters for their little pup. These tiny dogs tend to get cold very easily and can often use that extra layer of “fur” to help them stay warm when it cools off for whatever reason. We carry teacup dog clothes at the Chihuahua Clothes Store and if you’re looking for quality teacup chihuahua clothes, I invite you to check them out! I’ll speak to you again soon. -Mikey
