Spring Things in Dog Fashion

Flowers are blooming, breezes are blowing, birds are singing...in Spring, the world is a sensory delight for us as well as our dogs. We know you're eager as a puppy to get out there and enjoy these beautiful Spring days, and we've got just the gear to spruce up your dog's look for this light-hearted season.

Let's begin with the classic Spring spruce: the wardrobe addition. Just as you don't want to leave the house in your wintery cableknit sweaters and wool hats, your dog doesn't want to wear those old argyle sweaters that kept him warm in the chilly months. Instead, why not pick up one of these darling watermenlon sorbet dog dog tanks. This fresh pink shirt is hand-knitted for a softer "pet me" feel. It's decorated with a sweet green ruffle and a watermelon slice applique. This blossom-colored little top will make your dog the envy of the neighborhood on your Springtime strolls together. And as an added bonus, the website offers helpful suggestions on how to determine your dog's size.

Spring is also the perfect time to climb in the car and drive to one of those lovely outdoor spots you've been meaning to check out. Whether you're heading for a picnic in the park, a long hike through a field of wildflowers, or just spending an hour at your local dog run, your pet deserves to travel in style. We love these plush pet carriers in soft pastel colors for Spring travel. The interior is lined with smooth faux fur, and there's a mesh panel on the side for good ventilation. When the top is unzipped, there's a cushy pad where your pup can rest her head and watch the world go by. The carriers come in pretty pink and serene blue, and are decorated with fun charm chains in silver and gold.

Of course, you don't want to spend all your time strolling around idly. After all, bathing suit season is on the way, and your dog will want to look his best for those oceanside frisbee games this summer. That's why this woven hooded jumpsuit from Klippo is so perfect. It tells the world that you and your dog are as committed to fitness as you are to smells, treats and naps. This jumpsuit also has sporty reflective stripes to keep your dog visible during nighttime jogs. Plus, it comes with its own hanger and Klippo bone-shaped charm.

As thrilling as a big wardrobe overhaul can be for you or your dog, sometimes budget doesn't permit huge changes. When you're strapped for cash, a few pretty, vibrant touches can still freshen up your dog's look for the Spring sunshine. Add some glam sparkle with these floral diamond dog hairclips. The clips come in blue, green, yellow and pink, each with a corresponding colored jewel in the center of the big felt flower. The clips are lightweight, so they won't drag at your pup's fur in an uncomfortable way; but they are firm, to keep the hair away from his or her eyes. These are the perfect accessory for a groomed garden party or a stroll past that cute Poodle who lives around the corner.
