Halloween is fast approaching!  I love Halloween because it’s so much fun to decorate my house inside and out with spooky lights and decorations!  On Halloween night you’ve got to turn out all the lights, put a scarey movie on (not too scarey!), and light some scented candles to get everyone in the mood!  The kids especially love it because they get to dress up in funny or scarey costumes and go out and get as much candy as they can while “Trick or Treating”.  I like to dress up my dogs in their favorite dog Halloween costumes, too,  and take them out for a short walk before all of the trick or treaters start coming out. Yep, Halloween has to be one of my favorite holidays, but it can also be very stressing and/or frightening for your pet.

Here are a few tips that I’ve tried with my dogs and cats and they seem to work pretty well:

  • If at all possible, keep your pets confined to a room they are familiar with so they won’t be in the middle of all of the excitement when trick or treaters come calling. (I put my cats in one room and the dogs in another.)
  • Please ensure that no candy is within their reach!  Candy is very bad and sometimes extremely toxic to cats and dogs and can cause serious illness and sometimes even death.
  • Be sure to praise your cat or dog endlessly and give them their own treats so they don’t think they are in trouble for anything.
  • Be sure to check on them often and reassure them that nothing bad is going on and that they are safe.

Once all of the excitement is over for the evening, invite them back into the living room to watch the scarey movies with you.

 


Has Your Dog Got Bling?

dog tee shirt

Some dogs just have sparkling personalities and need a collar, leash, or dog tee shirt or other dog apparel with some bling accents to show off their sassy walk and talk.  I’d say it was a girl dog thing, but some boys want to shine, too!

 

Whether he’s “high maintenance” or “bad to the bone”, or her inner soul is really a flamenco dancer or cheerleader, an ensemble can be had to give your dog just the right flair.   If your flamboyant canine doesn’t care to wear embellished clothes, the bling of a sparkling collar or leash catches the light just as beautifully.

Patriotic dog tee shirts and apparelSo many people love to dress up their dogs in cute tee shirts, dresses, and even Halloween costumes!  There are probably as many reasons as there are people who just love it (and their dogs, too!)

I’ve found there are some very good practical reasons.  People just love to show off their dog’s personalities and their own for one.  But dressing them up in tee shirts or dresses, or other apparel not only gives them a cute look of their own, it provides protection from the elements when they spend a lot of their time outdoors in severe winter weather.  Even though pets have fur, it isn’t always adequate to keep them warm.  Short haired dogs especially need insulation from the cold since they don’t have hair on their chest or belly.  Also if your dog has had surgery and has shaved areas because of it, dog apparell will help keep your dog warm and protected.

 Have you ever had the problem that your dog wants to go out, but it’s raining?  I know I have and wet fur is not one of my favorite smells!  That problem can easily be avoided by getting him a rain slicker!  Booties and dog boots can also keep him from tracking in mud all over your nice clean floors and furniture!  And booties and boots are practical if you two like to go for walks or go hiking together.  They will help protect his paws from rough terrain or snow, ice, and the salt that is put down to melt ice.

Be sure to check out all of the adorable dresses, tee shirts, costumes and inclimate weather dog apparel for your dog at FirstRatePets.com!  You’ll be amazed at what you will find!

corduroy country western dog dress

I adore dressing up my little dog in clothes made just for her and you can see in her eyes that she loves it, too! My little dog gets so excited and she just prances around to show off to everyone!

I take her for walks frequently, but now that the weather is getting a little cooler in the evening, dog dresses aren’t just for great looks, they also keep her warm, too!

I found the most adorable little country and western dress for her and when I put it on her and we go for walks, well, she just strutts her stuff!  This website has so many different dog dresses and dog t-shirts it’s hard to decide on just a few!  Luckily, these dog outfits are so affordable, I can get my little dog enough of them so that she can wear a different one each time we go out to show off!  The best thing about all of these really cute dog dresses and tee shirts is that not only are they the cutest I’ve ever seen, but they are super easy to care for!

dazzling dog collar charms

I found the most beautiful charms for my dog’s collar at this website.   They are exquisite and very reasonably priced.  I can afford to get my dog several of these dog collar charms so she can wear a different one whenever we go out for walks!  Everyone always comments on how expensive they look but only my dog and I know we didn’t have to spend a fortune!  I also liked that fact that they attach easily to my dog’s collar with a split ring so I don’t have to worry about it coming loose and getting lost.

Guitar doggy t shirt

As a little girl, I used to love dressing up my little dog and best friend “Otto” in my doll clothes.  Back then they didn’t have anything made just for dogs.  I don’t think he minded too much as he was getting lots of love and attention from me.  Now that I have a daughter, she likes to do the same thing with our little dog “Jake”.  which is a boxer.  But these little  dog t- shirts are so awesome and fit a whole lot better!  The different sayings they have are so cute and whenever my daughter takes Jake out for walks, everyone is wanting to know where we found such cute little dog t shirts for him!
