There’s nothing worse that Eau de Pooch when your dog comes in from the dog park or wrecking havoc with with the neighbors cat.

So whip out a bottle of Pepper & Tanky to freshen Fido right up.   It uses less alcohol than other brands so it won’t irritate sensitive skin and they’ve beefed up the natural oils for conditioning fur.

Nobody likes a smelly dog in the summertime (or anytime for that matter). For your pooch freshening needs, Pepper & Tanky offers relief. This new brand of dog perfume uses natural oils and less alcohol so as not to irritate sensitive skin. The brand creators recommend that you spray Pepper & Tanky eau du parfum onto your hand or washcloth and gently massage or pet your dog.

Saturday May 30th, 2009 00:45 The Dog Pod

Expensive and opulent pet accessories abound for those who wish to spoil their furry friends including where they rest their fluffy heads at night.

The Dog Pod by designer Glenn Ross is no exception offering contemporary design with a comfort and utility. Constructed from bent ply wood which curves in a “C” shape holding a removable and washable faux fur pad, the Pod surrounds your pooch and comforts it into sweet slumber.

Size wise I’m not sure if they only accommodate lap dogs or big beasts but I appreciate the sleek design which will easily blend into any home’s surroundings.

Choose from a variety of finishes including maple, cherry, wenge, and bamboo or aluminum for an extra $100 on top of the $730 price tag.

Saturday April 11th, 2009 19:10 Exquisite Collars & Leashes

During a visit to England in 2005, Mary Oswald, the owner of CollierLeeds.com, visited Leeds Castle and was particularly enthralled with the dog collar museum at the castle grounds.  Being a lifelong dog-lover, Mary was enthralled with this unique aspect of historical artifacts and wanted to adorn her own dogs with something similar.  Alas, despite a search of high and low, Mary was unable to find comparable collars so naturally the entrepreneurial spirit kicked in.    

Each collar is handcrafted in Mary’s studio in the Pennsylvania countryside.  Begining with high quality English bridle leather, they shape the collar and then attach buckles, dee rings and “medallions”.

Much care is taken to ensure you receive a high quality dog collar. Before leaving the premises, each collar is finished with protective coating. However, the leather will mellow and patina with age because of its natural tendencies. Collier Leeds recommends that your collar be used for decorative purposes and even though it will stand up to your dog’s antics, should be kept dry and clean.
