Designer doggie fragrance
Sexy Beast is calling their signature fragrance "A small spritz for dog; a giant spritz for dogkind." The low-alcohol eau de parfum is blended with bergamot, vanilla-infused musk, natural patchouli, mandarin and nutmeg oils. Don't tell Anna Wintour we said this, but It's enough to make a human wish she had fur. The mere sight of the Karim Rashid-designed bottle will let your dog's friends know she's a lady of quality; it sports an integrated seamless pump and a beautiful sensual soft touch finish.
Holiday terry towel for dogs
Oooo la la! Que c'est bon, c'est bon! The Paw-risian Bistro is barking up the right tree with its holiday towel for dogs. The plush terry towel has a chic hood for covering your chien's head. It's printed with an applique reading "Santa Paws." It's decked out with a faux fur trim. While you're checking out the site, have a look at The Paw-risian Bistro's list of French pet names. Among our favorites are Boumboum, Ciboulette, Picollo Pif and Tournesol, that last the word for Sunflower.
Tattoos for dogs

Every once in a very, very great while, and especially if you're a French breed, you might sense "nostalgie de la boue," a nostalgia for the mud. It's in that spirit that we call your attention to the pet tattoos offered by Pet Science Labs. Petattoos, as they are called, are flexible molds onto which you spread paint before applying it to a dog's fur. You might choose a logo like "Princess," or if your nostalgia for the mud is particularly keen you might go with some of the punk dog choices, "Butt Sniffer," "Poop Machine," "Hey Human, Pick up my S(*t," or the ever-popular "Cats Suck." Just don't blame us if to get revenge, your dog slaps a petattoo on your forehead while you're sleeping.
Doggie elixirs from Happy Tails
Happy Tails' Canine Spa Line now includes three all natural herbal elixirs to promote doggie wellness within and without. "Perky Pup" will give Fluffy energy with such ingredients as violet leaves, red clover and echinacea. "Healthy Skin Shiny Coat" adds lustre to your doggy's fur with various herbal and floral extracts. "Sleepy Time Tonic" promotes sound sleep with valerian and other herbals. All products are "better than human quality;" it's enough to make us wish we were dogs!
Fruits and Passion for dogs
The Fruits and Passion company are offering sweet indulgences with their HotDog line of pooch care products. Five fine items include an Eau de Toilette with notes of fruit, fig leaves and cedar, a puppy and sensitive skin shampoo with lotus, bamboo and camomile extracts, a purifying deodorizer mist, a fresh and lustrous spray-on coat conditioner and an adult dog shampoo with concentrated aloe vera essence and ivy leaf extract. We have, after all, always known our dog was smart enough to be in the ivy league.
Mud baths for dogs
Just when you thought mud baths were only for the incredibly pampered two-footed people in your life: a company based out of Tokyo has an entire spa-quality line for dogs (and the spas to go with them, natch). PetEsthe has spa treatments based on Amino Acids and Aromatic Bath Salts, but the real piece de resistance is their Special Program series. The series features a mud pack made filled with essential oils and seaweed extracts to provide "thalassotherapeutic" results. Looks messy, but then, these products are for professional pet estheticians only.
[How many pet estheticians are there, yet? We see this as a Trend to Watch for the next five years...]
The company also carries an entire line of nail colors for pets in far more shades than we've ever seen, and until recently also featured pet hair dyes on their site (these have been removed over the past few weeks - we wonder if this is because of the international pressure).
