Fashions for Fido

There’s a lot of “bark” going on about fashion for our furry friends, with a large dog pile of opinions on what kinds of accessories and clothing are appropriate for dogs, and whether dogs should even be accessorized and clothed in the first place.

There are no right or wrong answers when it comes to the questions of canine fashion. For those of us that hold our furry friends close to our hearts, the choices we make about dog clothes resemble the fashion choices we make for ourselves and for the other members of our family. Dog owners who strive to look good themselves and make a fashion statement any time they walk out the front door will naturally be passionate about their pup’s appearance as well.

Hounds that sport a trendy dog collar or cute shirt get more positive attention from everyone they meet compared to dogs that don’t. Dog owners know that their pups thrive on this attention, and many times the owner does as well.

Clothing is a reflection of our personality, and attention is sometimes the primary reason that we make the fashion decisions we do. Our variety of clothing makes us interesting; the way we dress and accessorize is a chance to express our individuality, and the same is true for our dogs. We receive compliments when we wear something that we feel and look good in. Has your dog ever refused a compliment? Chances are your canine friend thrives on them even more than you do! So put your pup in a trendy designer ChristinaCline collar that outshines your matching shoes and handbag, and watch them be the talk of the dog park!

The joys that come with owning a dog are not comparable to anything else. With our trendy dog collars and new products being added all the time, you owe it to your furry friend (and yourself) to shop ChristinaCline! For more information, please visit our website at:

Taking the Howl out of Halloween

Halloween is a festive and fun time for most, but many dogs don’t share their owner’s joy of ringing doorbells and strangers at the door with scary masked faces. They also typically don’t enjoy unexpected jumps around the corner accompanied by a loud “BOO!” With all the extra excitement and visitors, there is an abundance of attention and affection, but there is also an increase of tension and anxiety.

We know that dogs thrive on affection, and many owners will go “over-the-top” in their efforts to make their four-legged friend stand out in the crowd. But when that involves putting their pup in an outlandish costume, the dog’s discomfort often takes away from their reception of all that extra attention.

You can get your dog involved in the holiday festivities without sending them cowering into a corner at the sight of a pumpkin puppy costume. Try a terrifyingly trendy Halloween party collar; they’re lightweight and comfortable, and your pup is sure to enjoy the added attention received while strutting in holiday style. And you’re sure to get at least one Kodak moment.

If your planning an evening of excitement and frightening events that your canine friend will not be fond of, be sure to give plenty of attention during the day – go for a long walk or run, play in the yard, and give them an extra treat or two. Before your guests arrive, put your pooch in a room with a comfortable place to curl up, and maybe a new toy. After a day of excitement, they may just sleep right through the sounds of “Monster Mash” and zombies in the hallway.
