Classic style dog collar & leash set

Tue, 16 Mar 2010 11:00:46 -0500

There's a lot to be said about classic style. A style that harkens back to old-world cobbled lanes where superior craftsmanship and flawless materials were king. Australian purveyor, Best In Park, brings back this old-fashioned sentiment with an air of freshness in their collection of high quality dog leads, collars, and identity medallions. All of which are inspired by beautiful materials, local artisans and fellow dog lovers. The stylish Normandy Collar and Lead are made of herringbone-woven black and natural hued cotton and jute with gorgeous antique-finished hardware and black leather trim. Available in small and medium sizes, the set is packed in an adorable wood-grain-printed collectable gift box. Nothin' like the classics.

Hooded goose down dog coat

Mon, 15 Mar 2010 15:34:26 -0500

This highly-anticipated revamped Goose Down Filled Doggie Coat is now available for the last chilly days and nights of the season. The new version has a smarter, easier fit than the original coat because it is sans the heavy fleece lining. This means it's lighter and bit roomier than the original for doggie's extra comfort and toasty'ness. The coat is made of water resistant nylon fabric inside and out, with both layers stuffed with 550-fill white goose down for all the warmth without the bulk. It features 3M reflective piping, a leash opening on top, and a removable poly-fill hood. And it's two-tone reversable in four cute color combinations: turquoise/bright lime, hot pink/silver, sky blue/silver, and black/ khaki. Choose from sizes XS though XL.

Fri, 26 Feb 2010 21:45:16 -0500

Does it always seem like doggie wants to play with the kids' plushy toys rather than their own? Well, the founder of Lollycadoodle let her pets have at it by designing colorful and durable toys with that special "woolly" scent they find so irresistible. The toy collection includes an adorable cast of characters like frogs, fish, snails, lizards, feltmen (shown), and more, in electric bright hues of blue, green, pink and orange. Lollycadoodle toys are also kind to the earth and made without poly-fill or squeakers to ensure they are safe and completely biodegradable after your pup is done with them (which they assure will be a very long time). To refresh the wool toys, just put them in the top rack of the dishwasher and let dry in the sun. Now everybody's happy.
