Dog Jewelry

How do you pick out jewelry for yourself? Do you look for style over comfort? Perhaps you are one of those people who choose to wear heavy chandelier earrings despite the knowledge that your ears will be hurting like crazy by the end of the evening. If you are, better be more considerate when it comes to your dogs. Remember that your dogs are living, breathing creatures and not toys that can take anything you send their way. Choosing comfort over style does not necessarily mean looking drab; there are a lot of accessories out there that look pretty and still comfortable for your dog. Here are a few tips you need to learn when picking out dog jewelry and accessories for your furry friends.

The Fit – Make sure that when you buy dog jewelry, you buy something that fits your dog just right. See to it that the fit is not too loose or too tight. You can have them custom fitted if that dog shop is capable. Too loose a fit, like in the case of dog collars may end up with the dog loosing that object. Also if the chosen dog jewelry or accessory is too loose it may move a lot and be irritating to your dog’s skin or fur.

Weight – The weight of the jewelry should be proportionate to the size of your dog. It should not be so heavy as to make your dog uncomfortable. A lot of dog jewelry makers create dog jewelry that is sensible to the needs of your dog. You have to find a good fit for your dogs so that they will not be uncomfortable in any way whatsoever. So buy a piece of dog jewelry that can easily weigh with your pet.

Material – Other than just looking at the fit and the weight of the jewelry, you also have to look at what material it is made of. Make sure that it is not something very irritating. Try to find something soft and comfortable. If you buy jewelry made of metals make sure that they fit your dog just right. Makes sure also that there are no sharp edges that can injure your pet. The same goes for leather and plastic items. Avoid sharp edges and stiff frames. If the item is to be placed around a certain body part of your dog, look for something that is not too wide as it may impede mobility.

No matter what type of Jewelry or accessory you choose for your dog, keep in mind that these pets have to be kept comfortable. Make sure also that your dogs are not in pain when they sport the latest designer item that you will be able to get for them.

Here’s a word of advice when at first your dog seems to be reluctant. For a start they may be irritated when using these items, but soon they will get used to the way something feels and you can easily get them into any outfit. GP

If you’re watching a celebrity news report on your couch and you see these young ladies prancing around with their tiny dogs in designer bags and dressed up in ‘stylish’ outfits, you might probably wonder. Are these dogs worth all that fuss, outfits, Jewelry and everything? You may shout: No! But, for these ladies the answer is a resounding YES! They would argue with you that these are their babies and they deserve to look as good as they do.

Designers have been cashing on the craze and have started the creativity craze. Stores dedicated to the care, comfort and style of our furry friend have been popping up allover the country as well as all over the internet. These stores sell everything from doggy wear to dog jewelry and they are raking in brisk business. Bracelets that are stylish enough for a lady’s wrist are sold for dogs. As a general rule, the prettier the item, the more expensive it gets. Just don’t get mixed up and end up walking down the street with your dog’s jewels on your wrist and yours on his neck. It’s a big fashion faux pas right there.

Of course, as always there are those that negate this trend. People who say that the money spent for such frivolous things should be spent elsewhere and into something more sensible like your own clothes or food. Maybe so, but most of the time, people who pamper their dogs by doting on them and giving them all sorts of accessories and dog jewelry have the money and the means to spare in order to make their dogs look good. Let us not forget the fact that it feeds the soul like a fulfilled obsession. The same way that video game enthusiast spend all that money on the latest games available in the market. There is nothing to be done about it because there is nothing wrong with what one wants for her dog.

This obsession with doggie styling can trace its history back to the ladies of the high court of decades past. They may not have dressed their dogs the way that they are dressed today, but dogs back then were fashioned small jackets and coats and sometimes even the occasional feathered hat. As you can see, pampered pooches are here and they have been around for a long time and they will certainly stay. No mater how much style changes, no matter if humans go whizzing by in flying cars. Dogs and other types of pets, whatever kind or size will always have a place in the home or in a tote bag.

Our conclusion to the question whether our doggie friends are worth all the fuss, the outfits and the jewelry: Of course they are! If there is money to spare, why not hand them over to your favorite designer and get the best dog jewelry, accessory or outfit that you can get for your loved pup. To all dog lovers out there, we say! Pamper that pooch till you drop!  GP

With the ever increasing popularity of pets as accessories, so have the demand for pet accessories increased. Dogs and cats are always on the top of the list of favorite pets. Dogs in particular have gained immense popularity as teeny tiny pets that you can lug around in their own little doggie totes. Dog Jewelry is also gaining popularity, from dog collars that look more like charm bracelets than they do collars are now readily available on the Market; you don’t even have to look that hard.

If you are looking to join in on the dog jewelry trend, but are not really that bold, why not try buying your pooch a studded or bejeweled collars, harnesses and leashes. They will keep them stylish while at the same time being a little bit grounded. Look beyond the regular leather or flat rope collar worn by your furry companion. Try buying your pet some collars that can easily pass for dog jewelry and may sometime even be considered as dog jewelry – depending on the style and make of it.

Bejeweled Princesses – Dazzling Swarovski crystals, Turquoises cool to the touch, opals glinting in the sun and more can be found attached and adorning your doggie accessories. These gems are found imbedded into high quality leather collars and leashes and sometimes even on harnesses. But, these items shine better when they are made to be what they should be – Jewelry. Dog collars that look like charm bracelets as well as dog dresses and outfits that have been adorned with the precious items are already a common thing. You can find these items mostly in high end stores which are found all over the country and the also all over the World Wide Web. It may take some searching to find the right online store, but it’s worth the effort to find someone whose work you like.
 
The Studded Look – Don’t be afraid if you feel that the studded look is too heavy and punk for your delicate toy pooch. Dog jewelry and accessory designers have been making all sorts of styles and types of dog wear. You can easily find a delicately and finely studded collar and leash as easily as you can find one with spike studs. Most Dog jewelry maker offer a wide array of choice for the dog as well as the dog owner’s style. The material is often leather and comes in all sorts of colors. From the basic blacks and tans to other bolder colors. The metal itself too can come in all sorts of shades, from copper, bronze to chrome and so much more. Matching sets are also available, although they may be sold separately giving you the freedom to choose how you like things done.

Whatever style you choose for your dogs, it is important to remember that they are living creatures and not items simply for show. They need to be taken care of other than just look pretty in a dress with a matching collar.   GP

Style is a forever changing thing and style is not just limited to humans, dogs also share the spotlight. If you are one of those people who feel like dogs have been elevated in society too much by making them fashion accessories, all we can say is: you can’t fight history! Why? What? You ask. History: Dogs, especially small ones, have had fashion accessories for the longest time, dating back to French ladies during the late 14th century. They have been pampered pooches for as long as history can remember.

Sometimes they are even treated as little children and as a member of the family. It is no wonder that Dog Jewelry and other accessories have found themselves in an ever growing and thriving niche in the pet accessory market. Little trinkets and Charms, Studded and sometimes even bejeweled dog Collars, Leases and Harnesses are readily available.

They can be made to look tough, for your tough and butch little pugs. They can also be intricate and feminine for you light, airy and precious toy poodles. Fact is, these dog accessories can be made into anything you may want and also with anything you can think of. The results are endless, limited only by the imagination and the depth of your pockets and we mean that.

A good example of a pooch living the sweet life is Paris Hilton’s (Socialite, Recording Artist, Author, Movie and reality TV Star) Chihuahua “Tinkerbelle”. This little darling steps out into the scene held under the heiress’ arms or in her little designer doggie bag. Tinkerbelle can always be found dressed to the nines with frilly outfits and even cute little doggie gems. She has even been seen sporting a pure Tiara, with Paris probably saying “That’s Hot!”

Here are some general and logical warnings with regards to dog jewelry, your pup and you. First on the list: If you can wear it, it doesn’t mean your dog can too. We give you in example the case of “Cecil” from the reality show “Beauty and the Geek”. At one point in the show, the contestants were given dogs as part of their weekly challenges. Cecil and her partner were handed a small Chihuahua. Cecil thought she can place her plastic bangles on the dog’s neck; it was pretty easy to put on, but harder to get off. They ended up cutting the bangles in order to remove it from the dog’s neck. You don’t want that to happen to your pooch, do you? Well, we hope not.

Inversely: Please, please, please do not wear jewelry and accessories that were originally meant for doggie wear. Resist the urge (however strong) to put on that collar around you wrist or your neck. No matter how much of a fashion statement you think it might make, trust us, it as big no – N.O.! What’s meant for your dog should stay on your dog. The fashion nightmare of Goths wearing spiked black leather dog collars should just be left to the Boogeyman.   GP
