The air is plump with moisture, green shoots are pushing their way towards the hazy sun, and pale legs are showing up beneath brightly colored skirts...It's early summer. People are buying light materials, mexican prints and all manner of fashion sensible light knits...
What is Fido to do?
Not to howl...We've got the cutest fashions and fun right here. Check out www.ruffruffandmeow.com for some slick summer t's that are just what the dog ordered.
These t's are the perfect mix of witty owner, clever dog and light weight wear that is cool enough for summer.
Another boon of summertime is outdoor baths. I'm sure Fido's everywhere are shuddering as their owners read this to them but it's true. Life becomes much easier when you don't have to trick, cajole or otherwise lure your dog into the bathtub or sink for a rinse.
In the sunny afternoon I can hose down little Puck until he's totally pink, rub in his special Origins Dog shampoo that he insists on (if I'm going to do this to him, it's going to cost me) and then let him escape and run amuck through the backyard.
Oftentimes, Puck (for spite and other smell related reasons) will dive for the nearest mud, dirt, mulch or ther unpleasant things to recoat his shiny new coat with an old layer of dirt.
Even on the warmest days Puck has been known to shiver a little in the wind after a bath. www.georgispetwear.com has the solution. Dog bathrobes. Really, it's perfect. The robe keeps Puck warm, let's him roll around on the ground to help dry off, keeps him clean, and is washable. Georgispetwear.com will even monogram your Fido's name onto his own bathrobe. A must have for summer and a perfect thing to pack for a winter trip to the spa.
Well sun loves, enjoy the season in your new bright duds but don't forget dog's eyes need protection too! UV rays are harmful, try www.doggles.com
UV rays are dangerous for your dog's eyes as well.
Also, dogs who like to hang out the window, ride on surfboards, shred on skateboards or cross country on motor cycles can use these.
They are effective and fun. It will take a little while for your dog to get used to, and you will have to train him to wear them in open spaces and sunlight, otherwise the sensation can be very scary. The protective benefits make this product a summer must have for your active dog. And he'll look really cool too...
