Swank Pets Dog Blog

I know Thanksgiving has not even arrived, however it’s time to get shopping for some holiday gifts for your small dog or for people you know that own a dog. You need to get an early start on things before you get bogged down with gifts for the kids, Mom and Dad, Grandma, Grandpa and you can’t forget Aunt Sue! Before you know it you’ve got a Christmas shopping list a mile long and you haven’t even been able to get that Santa hat for your little fur baby. Well now is the time to act and I hope I can take some stress out of the holidays and advise on some great gift ideas for your little furry one or anyone else that owns a dog. For starters, the Santa Hat for Dogs is a definite must to get your dog into the holiday spirit.

Seeing that we’re entering into the Winter season, the weather is going to be changing. Many parts of the country experience snow and other parts will only see rain. One problem I personally have is walking my dogs when it’s raining outside. Their fur and hair gets wet and it becomes a time consuming process having to dry them each time after they step outside on a rainy day. Being from San Diego, we don’t get much snow here. (Yes, there are some parts of San Diego that actually see snow!) So I’m not too familiar with what happens to a dog’s fur and hair when they get snow on them. I imagine their fur gets wet to an extent once the snow melts, but probably not as bad as rain. So where am I going with this you might ask? Well, we have a great waterproof jumpsuit for small dogs that works great in the rain or in the snow. Best of all, its absolutely adorable! This is a must have piece of small dog clothes for any dog owner during the Winter season. Anyone who receives this small dog gift will love you! These waterproof small dog jumpsuits also come in black and chocolate.

If you’ve got a sports fan that you’re trying to buy a gift for, you may want to consider this small dog soccer jacket. I know many people complain that they can’t find small dog clothes for boy dogs. Well, these jackets are just the trick. Better yet, these will also keep your little dogs toasty and warm in the cold Winter months. These small dog jackets are made from high quality nylon and unmatched craftsmanship. The small dog soccer jacket below represents England.

Not a fan of England? Okay, how about a soccer jacket from France?

One of our most popular sellers this year was the “Strawberry Bubblegum Tank Top”. Its absolutely cute and a must see to enjoy the details and fine craftsmanship that have gone into this piece of small dog clothing. It’s a tank top so you can be sure that your dog will be able to move around with ease while wearing this ultra trendy top. There’s nothing that says cute an chic like this Bubblegum small dog tank top.

Some of our newer items for this year are also excellent gift ideas. These are the latest trends and hottest designs that your little pooch can wear. If you want to have the cutest and trendiest clothes on the block, then be sure to choose some of the awesome designs to compliment yours or a loved ones small dog wardrobe. This one is absolutely adorable. The “Strawberry Truffle Ruffle Ribbed Tank Top” is just oh so cute.

So I’ve presented a good variety of small dog clothing above. Visit our site, www.swankpets.com for the full selection of small dog clothes. What other gifts can you give besides dog clothing? There are plenty of other ideas and dog gifts that I will share with you all. Let’s say your friend has always wanted to carry their dog around everywhere they go, but having only one hand free is not very convenient. How about a small dog carrier so they can tote their little dog around in style while keeping both hands free. Better yet, many dog carriers have enough room to keep wallets, keys and cell phones so they double as a purse and a carrier for your dog. Here are just a few of our small dog carriers that would make great gifts for Christmas.

I’m going to go ahead and just show you the cream of the crop now. Be prepared, it’s not cheap at $495. But if you want the best of the best, then this Petote Lola Quilted White Leather Dog Carrier is for you. This carrier screams high fashion and sophistication for the dog owner that must keep up their highly regarded fashion reputation. Can we say Paris Hilton?

Now if you’re looking for something a little less expensive but still want that couture and ultra chic look, then this Petote Pink Snakeskin Metro Leather Dog Carrier is a great choice. Made from genuine leather and the highest quality that Petote is known to for, this small dog carrier is absolutely gorgeous!

If you’re buying a small dog carrier for someone that prefers a more subtle style, then this Black Quilted Tassle Small Dog Carrier is perfect. Better yet, its only $125. The elegant quilted exterior gives this dog carrier that high end look and will definitely keep you and your dog looking trendy where ever you two go.

Next, we all know that dogs LOVE to sleep. Heck, if they’re not playing eating or pooping, they’re sleeping! So why not get a nice designer dog bed as a Christmas gift for you or your loved ones. We have tons of small dog beds and designer dog beds that will fit your every need. Cute, soft and comfortable, all our dog beds are designed with the highest quality. Our little Yorkie, Munchkin, loves this bed below because it keeps her cozy and warm all night. It’s like her own little club house. If you know someone that owns a Yorkie, Maltese, Chihuahua or any other small breed dog, I guarantee that this gift will bring them joy! Their dogs will love it and will probably never leave it! I know a cat is pictured, but this is great for small dogs too. It is Munchkin (the name of my Yorkie) approved!

Another cute bed that would be an excellent gift idea is this Slipper Dog Bed. It comes in pink and blue so don’t worry about buying a pink bed for a boy dog.

You can see the rest of our designer dog beds here.

Now Christmas is the season for giving right? If you’re going to give a gift, it should be something special especially to loved ones and close friends. What better way to show you care by giving a gift so unique and gorgeous that only a handful of people own. Our specially designed Swankpets Couture Collars are just the perfect gift. These designer dog collars were handmade with 100% genuine leather and real Swarovski crystals. They are definitely one of kind and can be found no where else besides Swankpets. Here are a couple of our designs.

Well, I hope some of these great gift ideas can help you out this holiday season. Remember, keep your dogs and the ones you love looking cute and trendy! Visit our full store at www.swankpets.com to see our huge selection of small dog clothes and accessories.
