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

The Chihuahua Sweater: Chihuahua Clothing You Can’t Really Argue About

The chihuahua sweater is by far one of the most functional and practical pieces of dog clothing you can get for your little chi. I’ve stocked a number of very high quality sweaters at the Chihuahua Clothes Shop, here, that are perfect for keeping little dogs warm. We also have chihuahua hoodies you can customize with a print type message of your choosing, which is very cool if you have a chihuahua dog who has got some serious attitude and you want to promote that to the world a bit in a fashionable way!

Sweaters and jackets for chihuahuas come in both the hand knit sweaters that have those adorable knitted dog sweater patterns woven in, as well as the thinner, hoody-style small dog sweaters for chihuahuas and other little doggies, both of which you can find at the Chihuahua Store and quite a few other online boutiques, GW Little for example. When you pair these with a dog coat for your little chiwawa pup, you’re ensuring your small dog stays warm and comfortable with his small dog clothes when living in places and spaces that cool off and get cold at times (or all the time, if you’re like me and you’ve lived in Canada during the winter!)

If you live in a warm climate but you hang out with your dog in air conditioned rooms a lot of the time, you might also want to think about investing in a little dog sweater or a dog hoodie for your chihuahua, to keep him warm. Chihuahuas and other little dogs tend to cool off and shed their body heat rather quickly thanks to a high metabolism, and they can get very cold and shake like crazy when spending a lot of time in an air con room with their owners, as a result.

So if you’ve got a chihuahua of your own, I definitely recommending taking a look through some chihuahua sweaters to find one you’d like for your pooch. In the hand knit variety, there are some gorgeous outfits that feature a beautifully sewn chihuahua patter on their back, and you can even find these among the cheap dog sweaters in the discount dog clothing stores, today.

If you’re looking for designer dog sweaters, go to the Chihuahua Shop and have a look at their chihuahua sweater selection. They sell only quality chihuahua clothes, and they have great customer service. So go check them out, and I’ll back here again soon with the latest from the pet fashion world! -Mikey

Chihuahua Apparel For The Dog Fashion-Inclined Chihuahua Owner’s Soul

I have a confession: ever since I got my first two chihuahuas years ago, I’ve been slightly obsessed with chihuahua apparel. Maybe it’s all the comments your little dogs get when they’re wearing small dog clothes, or perhaps it’s the way chihuahua clothes make your little doggie’s face look even more adorable when its peering out of a little chihuahua costume… I don’t know what it is exactly, but it was enough to make me start the Chihuahua Shop a little while ago so I could help other fashion passionate owners of small dogs find some of the best apparel for chihuahuas on the planet.

In the past few years, I have seen my fair share of dog T-shirts and dog sweaters for chihuahuas. I’ve been to the little doggie fashion shows, where owners parade their pets around on the runway, sporting some new style of chihuahua dog apparel, strutting their stuff for a designer label of some sort. If you’ve even been to one of these doggie fashion shows, you’ll know what I mean when I say they don’t always go exactly as planned! Sometimes the chihuahuas and yorkies have to “go” on stage and it creates a rather comical (and stinky) scene amid the dog fashionistas!

But on a more serious note (if there is such at thing when we’re talking about chihuahua clothes…), dog holiday costumes or a niche chihuahua shirt is often a surprisingly effective gift for someone you care about who has chihuahuas or another breed of small dog. Most chihuahua owners care deeply about their little fur children, and when you show those dog-children some fashion love, the owner usually reacts very warmly and is happy about the whole thing!

In addition to chihuahua apparel, the Chihuahua Store has seen the addition of some very fashionable chihuahua dog jewelry over the past few months. So now, in addition to picking up those two adorable chihuahua vests you see in the store catalogue and those other clothes for chihuahuas that are so freaking cool, you can accessorize your little canine gift-target with Swarovski crystal-laced necklaces and other dog bling that takes the whole notion of dog apparel to the next level.

But moving away from the dog accessories for a moment and back onto apparel for chihuahuas, as far as the fringe pet fashion for chihuahuas is concerned, I’ve been going through the chihuahua store’s dresses. I’ve been noticing a lot of people are really liking the chihuahua princess dress this spring and now into to the summer. It seems that the Brits want to have their afternoon tea party with their chihuahuas and other small dogs in their UK homes (and tower castles), and the Americans are enjoying their Sunday afternoon picnics at the dog park with their pet fashion friends, which I think is very cool. Any time you can spend time with friends, in nature, with a fashion focus; that is chihuahuatastic! Haha!

If you’d like to see what I believe is some of the very best chihuahua clothing online right now, visit the Chihuahua Shop (there’s a link below). We carry casual canine clothes for your little chiwawa baby, and the designer doggy coats for your badass chihuahua boy. Wherever your fascination lies with chihuahua apparel, you will very likely find the object of your chihuahua fashion obsession there! -Mikey

Small Dog Coats For Chihuahuas And The Other Smaller Breeds

I used to think small dog coats were a joke. I would scoff at the notion of a dog (which already has a coat of hair, does he not?) wearing human-invented fashion. Then, in an unusual twist of fate, and ended up taking care of two chihuahuas that I eventually came to call my own. I scoff no more. In fact, it was a matter of mere weeks after first getting them that I ordered my first small dog clothes from a chihuahua clothes boutique!

So what the heck changed my mind so quickly? It was the two chihuahuas: they would start to shiver and seek out the warmest spot in the room whenever they’d been in a room for a while and hadn’t just been prancing around down the sidewalks on a walk with me! As much as I thought that clothes for small dogs were an absolute joke, I couldn’t deny that my two little dogs were not exactly comfortable after they’d been indoors for a while and were just lounging around (which is the official chihuahua sport, by the way!) So I conceded: I bought a pair of chihuahua coats from the little dog coat boutique. And I haven’t looked back since!

When talking with other chihuahua owners today, we chat about the entire gamut of dog clothes, from the doggy parkas and chihuahua ski jackets you see at the Chihuahua Shop, to the other winter dog coats for small dogs the warm dog coats and sweaters you find on the shelves at the local Petco and other brick and mortar pet stores in town. It’s a little freaky when you get talking with your neighbor about her prize-winning chihuahua and how they own matching sets of clothing–both her and her dog!–and how they never leave the house without first coordinating their outfits. For me, I haven’t quite reach that point with my small dogs yet, but I know there are some aspiring Paris Hilton-types out there who could probably put me and my little chiwawa to shame when it comes to dressing to kill for the chihuahua fashion spotlight!

This summer, it’s been a blast to see all the new summer dog coats coming into the store, here. I’ve been getting a lot of questions about waterproof dog coats for blue chihuahua raincoatchihuahuas, as apparently there are a lot of owners who love to walk and dance and play in the rain with their small dogs, who obviously want to keep their little pets warm and snuggly while doing so! So just for those of you looking for such a small dog coat, we’ve brought in the chihuahua raincoat in a variety of colors, so you can get your four-pawed puddle splashing party going on, and semi-convince everyone else on the street that you’ve lost it, haha!–don’t worry, it’s one of my favorite things to do!

Apart from the heavier and rain-repellent small dog coats, there are the more funky and fashionable coats for smaller dogs that you’ll find in most chihuahua clothing stores, as well. If you’re going for the whole K-9 fahionista poochy-Gaga look for your dog, you’ll need your pink dog coats and your crazy wasp-coat for your little dog, and those other cray dog fashion coats that grab your attention like a fashionable attention magnet. These dogtacular clothes are all over the place online, and I do my best to stock the creme de la creme of them in the Chihuahua Clothes Shop.

The one other option you have if you want small dogs coats for your chihuahuas is to make your own. Now, I’m all for do-it-yourself projects when it comes to your chihuahuas, but I’m really not the sewing type, and so I’ll leave it to the budding chihuahua fashion artists at YouTube to guide you, if this option strikes an inner fashion cord with you. Here’s a simple example of how one dog owner made a small dog Santa coat for his little puppy:

You can search youtube for piles of other make your own chihuahua clothes examples, if you’re interested in making small dog coats for your pooch. Otherwise, simply browse the coats at the Chihuahua Shop, and you’ll simplify the entire process. Alright, I’ll speak to you again soon. -Mikey

Dog Outfits for Small Dogs

There’s something about dog outfits for small dogs… they’re freaking cute! If you’ve ever tried dressing your dog up in chihuahua clothes, one thing you’ll notice is that people can not help but keep their eyes and hands off your little dog, even if you tell them not to; it’s very hard for them to resist.

If you’ve got a maltese and you take him to the office and he’s got little clothes on, everyone is going to want to come over and pet that dog. If you’re walking along the street on a little walk with your dog, and you pass by other dog owners, they won’t be able to keep from gushing about how cute your dog looks. If you’ve got a yorkie and you dress him up in tiny outfits for yorkies, and even if you’re just at home and you have guests over who have just popped in, they’re not going to be able to resist bending down and petting your little dog and commenting on how cute your little furball is!

I’ve really been noticing lately that there are few things as irresistible as a little dog wearing small dog clothing. This fashion is everywhere today, and it’s wedging its way into the culture one outfit at a time. You’ve got shirts for little dogs, you’ve got smaller dog clothes for the little breeds like chihuahuas, you even see them showing up in the movies more and more as our pets share the spotlight with their human actor counterparts. And you’ve got online boutiques with dog clothing popping up left and right, with new ones every week it seems.

These dog clothes take the natural cuteness of these little dogs and they amp it up… it’s like chicken soup crack for the adorable dog’s soul! These little dog outfits make it nearly impossible for anybody to ignore your dog, so I definitely don’t recommend them if you’re trying to keep to yourself and you’re having a crappy day or something and you just want to be left alone–do not dress up your dog in small clothing in this case because everyone is going to want to come over and talk to you and it’s going to be a situation where the two of you become an attention magnet.

That said, if you do want attention, there’s nothing that breaks the ice more consistently and easy than chihuahua clothing on a little dog. Even as someone who thought it was ridiculous, small dogs wearing their funky fashion apparel was very hard to resist commenting on, either to my friend I was with or directly to the owner herself. There’s something about these little dog outfits for small dogs… they’re adorable, they’re cute, they’re cuddly–it’s INSANE!

So small dog fashion is everywhere these days, and even though it’s slowing down with the economy a bit, it’s still very much thriving. You’ll see the summer dog shirts for smaller dogs everywhere now as the chihuahuas and yorkies get out more and walk more on the streets now in the sunlight of the summer days and they shed the heavier dog costumes like the coats and sweaters in favor of the lighter shirts and summer fashion.

Anyway, I won’t go on and on: clearly you can tell I like chihuahua clothes! I’ll be buying my little dog some small dog shirts for this store here, and I’ll talk to you guys again soon! -Mikey
