Adopting for the New Year!



Happy New Year! This stretch of celebrations is full of memories with family, time spent with friends and the spirit of giving and helping others (and yourself) grow in any way possible!

The New Year is here, and with that comes the often broken New Years resolutions ha! For pet owners, this can be a time to focus on some ways to become a great pet owner and to better include your furry friend in your family.

A common New Years Resolution is to adopt a pet. Dogs and cats are typically the first to come to mind in pet adoption conversations, but did you know you could adopt any kind of pet, from ferrets to bunnies, birds and guinea pigs.

Before making a New Years resolution to adopt a pet and bring it in to your home, make sure to do adequate research on the needs of your pet and what they will bring to your family and into your life. Different pets have different needs, so make sure and research the differences between various pets and check the local animal shelter for those in need of adoption.

Doggie Couture Shop's passion is making the life of a pet worthwhile and loved. Doggie Couture Shop has a large selection of "adopt me" dog apparel and things to make the transition an easy one should you decide to take that leap of faith. The Adopted Tank Style Tee is a big hit with the new owners and these adorable dog hoodies come in so many colors - Adopted Hoodies. Also, a big plus is having the fun puppy items that can be great when bringing your new one home.

Get your dog a elevated dog feeder this Christmas!



It’s important to ensure that your dog has the right dog feeder for its body structure, habits and breed to ensure that they are comfortable and healthy.

Elevated dog feeder’s help dogs digest food more easily by preventing in stomach bloating and swallowing air while eating. They prevent the likelihood your pup will choke or have trouble swallowing food because it allows for a comfortable angle to dine. Another major benefit is it keeps food off of the ground, where dust and dirt are often the “season” on dog food.

Consider your dog’s eating “style” before purchasing an elevated dog feeder. If they are a messy eater and play with their food, buy a more durable ceramic bowl with a non-slip material at the bottom. If your pet has a rounded, wide face, than maybe a curved stainless-steel dog bowl would best suit their needs.

Purchasing an elevated dog bowl can protect your pet from unnecessary health dangers and make them more comfortable and at ease while enjoying the delicacies of dog food!

Doggie Couture Shop is your one stop shopping place for your dog bowls and dog feeders this holiday season. Doggie Couture Shop has -
Acrylic Bowls
Ceramic Bowls
Elegant Bowls
Elevated Feeders
Portable Bowls
Stainless Steel Bowls
And a wide selection of dog treat jars and dog placemats!

Winter care for your pet!

The leaves have changed into beautiful shades of red and yellow, the first sign that cold weather is upon us! As enjoyable as snow-filled holiday season can be, it’s important to take the necessary precautions to protect your furry friend from the harm of old man winter.

Keep Your Dogs Nearby. Few things sound more appealing than curling up in front of a fireplace, even for your pet! It’s important to keep careful watch over your dog and the time they spend outside. Smaller dogs have a higher likelihood of freezing in cold weather outside. Also, pets can lose their scent during heavy snow, causing them to get lost and not be able to find their way.

Monitor your dog's health. Be smart with your pup’s health in the winter. Don’t have your pet shaved fully and be sure to dry them off with a blow dryer after they’ve gotten wet and been outside. Be sure to wipe them down completely after coming from outside because they could ingest antifreeze or other harmful chemicals from licking their paws. It’s also important to increase their protein intake during colder months so you can keep their fur in top shape! Remember to rub some petroleum jelly on the soles of their feet to keep their paws from cracking.

Doggie Couture Shop has wonderful dog socks and dog shoes to keep their paws warm when going on their walk or when they are out "doing their business". Check out the winter dog boots too - they can be warm and be fashionable too!

All in all, just be smart with your pet during the winter months to ensure that you and your whole family can enjoy a safe and memorable holiday season!

Take care of those "tootsies" this winter!


One of the most overlooked responsibilities that dog owners have is taking care of their pet's feet! No, this doesn't always mean painting their nails, although it can! Caring for your dog's feet means being carefully examined and taken care of because they walk barefoot everywhere and everyday!

While dogs do have a much more durable "sole" on their feet, any damage to their paws can cause some severe problems. A small cut in the foot can injure ligaments and tendons that create toe position, you'll notice this when a pup's toe points upward.

Speaking of nails, you need to cut your pup's toenails monthly. Long toenails can cause extreme discomfort, almost to the extent of making the dog immobile. When trimming the nails, look right above the lightly colored red speck that begins at the physical toe and extends through the nail, and cut right below it. The red indicated the blood supply for the dog and cutting into it could cause some problems that would need professional attention.

All in all, pups need their "wheels" taken care of just as much as we do. Paying close attention to the condition of your furry friend's toenails and paw pads will ensure that they'll be comfortable for the long afternoon walks or lake trips with your family.

Doggie Couture Shop has great items to help with those "tootsie" problems - a entire line of dog shoes, dog socks and dog boots. One of the best new items at Doggie Couture Shop is the Holiday Dog Boots. A big hit for sure on those cold December days! Now dogs can keep their paws warm and comfy during cold temperatures while not sacrificing style. These festive dog boots feature our holiday tartan pattern and are sherpa trimmed for added warmth. Each dog boot has Velcro® closures and rubber soles to prevent slipping. Set of four boots.
