New Chihuahua Supplies For Pampering Your Little Pooch

Lets face it: as chihuahua owners, we love to pamper our little dogs with the latest chihuahua supplies and accessories. There’s something about these adorable little dogs that is simply endearing. And when you have that special relationship with your little chihuahua dog, a lot of us pet owners enjoy spoiling our best friend with some new chihuahua clothes to make her feel special. We buy those new dog blankets to make our little furball feel loved and treasured. We look at those new hats for dogs and pick one out to give our chihuahua pup a new look and lavish her with that fashionable affection. Owning a chihuahua is a lifestyle for a lot of us, and the benefits definitely go both ways: we get the little dog of our dreams, and our chihuahuas get to live the life of a pampered pooch!

This was actually a difficult decision to make because you get such a split reaction with people when you talk about dog perfumes: on the one hand, you have chihuahua owners who love dressing up their dogs in chihuahua clothes and who really embrace the idea of a naturally scented perfume for their dogs that not only smells great but also soothes your dog’s skin and calms her mind with the chamomile oil contained in it; and on the other hand, you have pet owners who scoff at the mere idea of putting “dog” and “perfume” in the same sentence, together! In the end, we’ve decided to bring in six of the very best dog perfume mixtures that we’ve been able to find and that have turned some of the biggest perfume for dogs skeptics out there into raving fans of these scented supplies for chihuahuas! So definitely have a look at these perfumes for little dogs!

As for the rest of our online pet accessories for chihuahuas, we’ve updated our selection of collars for small dogs, bringing in some new models that you can customize. We’ve also updated our selection of those adorable little pet socks you can put on your chihuahuas so they have better traction on slippery surfaces in your house and so their paws stay protected, warm, and clean when walking around outside. We’ve also refreshed our chihuahua hair pins, so you can make your princess all prim and proper with a quality hair style, and we’ve brought in a host of other great online pet accessories to spoil your chihuahua rotten with!

I’ve been working hard to bring in some new pet carriers for small dogs because a lot of Chihuahua Shop customers have been loving our chihuahua carriers and I would love to bring in a few more dog carrier bags for you to choose from. I’ll keep working away on that for now, so make sure you check back soon to see the new supply of chihuahua supplies at the store.

Dog Socks: Protection, Cleanliness, and Better Traction For Your Pet’s Paws

Dog socks help protect your dog’s feet from extreme weather: if it’s winter time and it’s cold outside, the socks protect your pet’s paw pads from the extreme cold of ice and frozen pavement so his feet don’t freeze. In the summer, the socks insulate against the blistering heat of scorching pavement and sand, and other extremely hot surfaces that can burn his delicate paws.

Socks for dogs also help keep debris out from between your dog’s paw pads. Little splinters of sticks, pebbles, glass, and other harsh bits and pieces of things on the ground that your puppy can walk on when outside can all get lodged in between the pads of his feet and cut, injure, and infect his feet. This doesn’t happen that often with most dogs, but it does happen enough that it’s a problem for some who live in certain environments where a lot of this debris is lying around. These injuries are painful for your dog to endure, and with the socks, it’s possible to avoid these injuries altogether.

There are a host of circumstances where dog socks make life easier for man’s best friend when they spend time outside. But there are also many situations indoors where these doggy socks make a big difference, too.

If you have a lot of slippery tile or hardwood in your home, and your dog likes to run around a lot, he probably slips and slides when running around corners and doesn’t exactly have the best traction. Also, if you have these surfaces and your dog has nails that scratch them, that can often be a pain for you and your wallet. The pet socks help with all of these problems, as they provide your dog with rubber traction on the bottom of their feet, and since your pet’s nails are on the inside of the sock, your floor surfaces remain unscathed.

On top of this, if you’ve ever found it a pain to clean your dogs’ feet when it’s wet or slushy and muddy outdoors and you take your dogs for a lot of walks, these dog socks are also super helpful because you can just spray the socks with a waterproofing solution, let them dry, and then walk your dogs with the socks through the wet conditions and their paws will stay dry and clean. When you get back to the house, you just slip the socks off your pets’ paws, they’re good to go without any cleanup, and you just toss the doggy socks in the washing machine. It’s a lot easier this way than having to clean their paws before they come back in the house and track around all that wet, muddy mess.

Finally, if you have older doggies that have worn-out paw pads, these socks can be a huge help for them. Most dog socks have rubbery traction on the bottom, and so they give these dogs the ability to walk on slippery surfaces again with confidence.

A lot of people–myself included–when first hearing about dog socks, laugh or scoff at the notion or think it’s ridiculous. But, once you see for yourself just how much something as simple as these little socks can help your dog out in certain situations, you stop laughing and you start making use of them when the situation calls for them.

For your dog, the best part about dog socks is that they’re typically much more comfortable than dog booties, as they’re made of cotton and other soft materials that conform to the shape of your pet’s paw. They also simply use elastic pressure to hold onto your pup’s paws, unlike shoes and booties for dogs that employ the use of straps, buckles, and laces, and so they typically stay on a lot better than those other finicky dog paw-wear.

My two favorite places in the world for buying dog socks are the Chihuahua Shop and G.W. Little, which I’ve pulled my favorite pairs of socks from and linked to in the little catalogue I put together for you, above. Another great thing you’ll notice about dog socks is that they’re pretty cheap, so you don’t have to break the bank in order to keep your dog’s paws protected from the elements, keep them comfortable, and to give your dog that convenient traction that he can use–and do so with style! There are some seriously stylish pairs of socks for dogs out there today, as you can see above, so have fun shopping for them, and I’ll talk to you again very soon! -Mikey
