Because long-lasting is an important quaility, too, these rings have been plated with rhodium (rhodium is part of the platinum fam and helps to protect the silver from scratching and tarnishing, just fyi). Available in whole sizes from 6 - 10. What better (or more fashionable) way is there to let everyone from potential suitors to people that you meet when you're walking down the street know about the inseparable bond you share with your pooch? Um, very possibly none.

Soft padded pet carrier
We love the chic color combo of orange and brown just as much as we love a dog carrier that's as stylish as it is comfy, so we're doubly into PetEgo's Bitty Bag. This super cute carrier bag is made of a deliciously soft chocolate ultrasuede that's been stitched into a checker pattern and it boasts a hot (and we're so using both meanings of the word hot here) orange nylon interior. We here at Pampered Puppy are all for the extra attention to detail, so "snaps" to the the chrome-plated bone-shaped closure, adjustable straps, and the padded handle so that the person carrying this bag is just as comfy as the pup riding in style inside it. Off you go!

Custom silver pet pendants *
* This is a paid sponsored post.
Much as we pet moms and dads would like to spend more time with our furballs, there's work that needs doin' and those puppy treats aren't going to pay for themselves. Which often means leaving our dogs for hours each day - at home, with friends, at doggie daycare. Luckily, you can keep those furballs close to you and near to your heart even when you're out with a customized silver pendant from CustomSilverPendants.com. They take your actual photo of your dog or cat and then custom-cast it into a silver charm (four different shapes available) that you can wear on a necklace or charm bracelet. You can even get the back engraved - which makes them ideal as a remembrance token for pets you've recently (or not so recently) lost. They also offer mini-pendants (smaller versions - available in square size only), paw print pendants (custom made from your pooch's pawprint - sooo cute!) and double pendants for two-pooch households. The charms will fit on most necklaces and range from 1/2 inch wide (the minis) to 1 3/4 inch wide (the doubles). Best of all, their service is wicked fast - just a few days' turnaround to see the rendered sample of what your finished pendant will look like.

William Wegman dog pillow
At Pampered Puppy, we're dog fans (or course) and we're also art fans, so William Wegman's Doodle Dog Pillows are right up our alley. These festive and whimsical pillows are a must-have for us as they feature a dog doodle by master dog photographer William Wegman (we love his photographs of his Weimariners). And better yet, since the pillow is easy-to-clean with a stain, moisture and odor-resistant cover that can even be removed for...wait for it...machine washing, this pillow can be equally enjoyed by people and dogs alike. They're available in five fun colors: pool, kermit, persimmon, gypsy, koala, and twig. Playfully practical and sure to look good wherever you throw 'em.

Pets At Home window decal
We hope nothing bad ever happens to you. But just in case it does, it's important to let people know that you've got pets at home who need to be cared for while you're out of commission. The Pets At Home Vehicle Window Cling will do just that. This 3" x 3" inch window decal can be used on vehicles to alert emergency personnel that the injured party has pets at home. The static cling material adheres to any glass surface and can be easily removed. There's even a space provided to write in your emergency pet contact so that the person you want will be alerted to care for your pets. Buy a pack of twenty and share with your friends, or if you're a pet sitter or pet caregiver, hand these out to your clients with your contact info already in place. Because we think safe is so much better than sorry.
