Many of you know that last May we added a puppy to our family. I’ve never actually been a dog owner, but have had cats since I was around 12. I’m still learning a lot about caring for and training dogs and happily seeing the hyper puppy energy fade (I like those mellow cats I’m used to). I think I’m gradually coming around to being more of a dog lover! One thing I really do like about dogs is how much more eager they are to please. You can take them out in public, play with them, and more. Cats can have much more of a hot and cold personality. So if your beloved fur ball is your best friend and goes with you everywhere, you may want to explore some of these new and interesting ways to bond with your four legged friend!
Wear Complementing Clothes
If your kids don’t want to get in on Mommy & Me outfits or are past that stage in life, it might be time to turn to your pet. What could be cuter than walking down the street with your dog in matching outfits? Definitely only
a good idea if you want to stand out from the crowd and be noticed, there are
many different options and styles available for you and your dog to choose from including:
- American Beagle Outfitter– perfect for those who love the outdoors
- Couture Dogs of New York – best for glam and glitz
- Urban Pup–ideal for lovers of high fashion
- Sews Before Bros – best for quirky dressers
Be Subtle with Matching Accessories
If head to toe matching outfits is a bit over the top for you, then why not try matching a few accessories instead?
Examples of accessories you could choose include:
- Friendship collar and bracelet
- Leash and bracelet
- Scarves
- Jacket
- Dog tag and necklace
It is important to remember to ensure that your pet is safe and comfortable when wearing clothes or accessories, so always make sure that they fit correctly and if your dog becomes distressed, then obviously, remove the items immediately.

Pamper with a pet-friendly hotel
If you often treat yourself to a weekend spa break or a trip to the city, have you ever considered the possibility of taking your pooch with you?
There are a wide variety of hotels and other vacation spots that provide accommodation and luxuries for owners and their dogs. We actually took our dog on vacation with us this summer when we rented a condo and it went much more smoothly than I ever thought it could have! From spa treatments that are specifically designed for owner and dog, to pet-friendly swimming pools, going on vacation with your dog has never been more fun. Don’t forget to pack yummy meaty treats and your dog’s favorite toys when you leave so that Fido can feel more relaxed during the trip.
I’m so curious to know, which of these would you ever do?
