Tips When Shopping for Dog Clothes

Many dog owners love to dress up their dogs in stylish outfits.  If you’re shopping for dog clothes, what important things should you consider?   Comfort.   It’s very important for the dog to be comfortable, relaxed, and happy when wearing a piece of clothing. If you live in a place where the temperatures can be extremely cold, clothing your dog is a great way to help them keep warm. Make sure the piece of clothing fits well, and that the texture does not make your dog feel scratchy or irritated. Different dog breeds have varying body structures so if you want to purchase online, it’s better to see the actual piece worn or modeled by a dog of the same breed as your pooch. For instance, if you have a  small dog , you may look for shops that specialize on  dog apparel for small dogs . Type .  Different styles of dog clothes are easily available such as tee-shirts, polo shirts, skirts, pajamas,  vests, sweaters, turtlenecks, jackets, etc. T...

Why Should You Spay or Neuter Your Pet?

According to  The Human Society of the United States , an estimated 6-8 million homeless animals enter animal shelters every year in the United States alone. The reality is that there are too many dogs and cats in the world who need a loving home and there’s just not enough homes for all of them. Sadly, many of rescued animals are euthanized or put to sleep each year because no one has adopted them.  So, if you sincerely want to care for a dog or cat, the best thing to do is  adopt a pet  from your local shelter. Dog owners should never attempt to breed dogs on their own if they don’t have a good working knowledge about canine genetics.  Improper breeding can bring about health and behavioral problems, and should only be done in animals who are over two years of age and who passed all necessary physical and behavioral examinations.  It’s best to leave “breeding” to the experts.  What is Spaying and Neutering?

Featured Dog Shop: The Olive Crow

I’m happy to start the year with a post featuring a wonderful shop for dog lovers and pet owners called  The Olive Crow . Diane Croston, is the owner and she personally designs and creates all the items you see from the shop.  She is a big supporter of pet adoption and is a proud owner of two beautiful, adopted dogs.  In this interview, Diane tells us how she started her business, some challenges she encountered and how she successfully got through.  She also introduces us to Scout and June, tells the story behind their adoption, and shares some tips for people who are planning to adopt a pet. How old is your shop? I opened my shop last February but did not start listing anything until the end of March! What’s the inspiration behind your shop name? I threw around a couple of names until I decided on The Olive Crow.  I wanted to use crow in my title because it is a family nickname, but had a hard time with the rest of the name.  My sister su...
