Found! Kelly Osbourne Loves Gooby, Mascot, and Sporky

PetSugar — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 12:00:26 -0800

Attention, attention, new puppy alert! Kelly Osbourne has been spotted over the last couple weeks with this lil furball! The Shiba Inu already has her (his?) wings taking plane trips with mom. Looks like Kelly wasted no time in getting this pup the coolest gear. What products did they travel with? Find out below.

Even though temperatures don't drop that much in LA, the Gooby Winter Freedom Harness ($30) is a snuggly alternative to traditional reins made of synthetic deer skin and lined with faux fur for an off-to-the-mountains look.
Then there's no matchy matchy necessary here as the pup also sports a Mascot Old School Repp Lead ($42) in one of six preppy color combos.
Lastly, she adds a pink piggy to the leash. While Sporky ($15) may appear to be a poop bag holder to an untrained eye, it's actually a dispenser for wet wipes, great for keeping fingers (and paws) clean on the plane.

My Three Pretty Collar Picks From Wonderdog NYC's Fall Line

PetSugar — Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:00:16 -0700

I was already a big fan of Wonderdog, especially since they make cute walking harnesses (which are way harder to locate for those noncollar wearing pups). Now I'm loving their warm, earthy-toned additions for Fall so much that I've picked my three favorite styles below. Don't worry matching fans, they stock coordinating leashes, too!

Matchy Matchy Leashes to Collars and Harnesses?

Even if you're not down with coordinating with your furry friend, Thurman Murman's constantly rotating leash collection got me thinking – is it necessary to match the leash to the collar or harness? While Samson's sporting a set here, I know my pooch has many more harnesses than leashes . . . but he still has that basic black Flexi that just seems to go with everything. I make an effort to at least grab a leash that looks OK with the harness I slip on – how about you?

Matchy Matchy Leashes to Collars and Harnesses?

Yes, he only sports perfectly matching sets.

Sometimes, I try to make sure it doesn't clash.

No, I just grab whatever's closest.

Do Your Dogs Wear a Harness and a Collar?

PetSugar — Sat, 14 Jun 2008 11:00:01 -0700

Walk time fills North with tail-waggin' joy, and it's definitely rein-in harnesses at my house! Call it personal preference, if you will, but I still think my pup's better suited with a harness like his smooshy breathren. I'm curious do you also put a collar on your harnessed pet like these two?Pacific Coast News Online

Do Your Dogs Wear a Harness and a Collar?

Yes, he's got a collar on all the time and a harness for walkies.

No, he just uses a collar for walkies.

Tiffany's, Sniffany's – Your Pup Deserves It All!

PetSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 03:00:49 -0700

I'm always on the hunt for flashy products to let your pets get in on the wedding action! Now the bling may not be for every gal's pooch, but I know my heart flutters at the sight of the trademark Tiffany & Co. box. Sooo, why not treat an equally lucky pup to a matching lil blue satin harness ($35) for a future ring bearer to don during the ceremony and a Sniffany & Co. squeaky toy ($14) for afterwards!

Bare Bones: Wonderdog Accessories

PetSugar — Wed, 07 May 2008 13:30:18 -0700

I have fallen in love with Wonderdog! The oh-so-classy collars, leashes, and harnesses are slightly reminiscent of Crewmutts, add in a hint of Mascot, and a splash of NYC edge, and fresh out of the oven come these chic doggy duds. I'm especially loving the Smith Collection ($32) and have some plans to pick up a few for my own little pampered pal to sport around town.

Started in 2005, Wonderdog began by making chic pet beds, but found their awesome design skills lie in functional and fashionable accessories. What's better, you won't break the bank with Wonderdog with all of their collars costing under $35 and leads and harnesses ringing in less than $50. You can't go wrong with those numbers! You can pick up your own set at a number of stores around the country, or order online.

How Much Would You Spend?

I am still stunned by lavish collar options like the one Ritchie the bulldog wore at Harrods' 'Pet-à-Porter' fashion show and the most expensive ($1.8 million) 'Amour Amour' collar seen above. I like to spoil my pup but, until I have 1,600 diamonds, poor North will have to settle for leather harnesses. Be it a harness or a collar that your pet prefers, what's the most you would drop on your pets for one of the two?Source

Bare Bones: It's Rein-in Harnesses!

PetSugar — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 13:00:14 -0800

Since I've already shared my love for harnesses, check out some common types below – it's possible to find ones that have several features all in one!

Soft harnesses. Like the Puppia harness seen above, these feature a comfy air-mesh material providing support and ventilation for active pooches.
Step-in harnesses. For dogs that hate the over-the-head process, hold these harnesses flat and put one front paw in each hole – easy on, easy off!
Harness Vests. If you don't want to dress up a dog, but still want to give him a festive look, harness vests are, as the name implies, a combo of a harness and a decorative vest.
K-Style harnesses. These soft harnesses (often microsuede or velvet) are secured with Velcro making them easy to wrap up small pooches that don't tug too much.
Easy-walk harnesses. Often with a leash ring in the front (not on top of his back), these harnesses rest on the breastbone away from the neck entirely. They're good for training pups not to pull, but require attention to make sure the lead doesn't twist around his head.

To the Rescue: Harness vs. Collar

PetSugar — Tue, 27 Nov 2007 12:15:36 -0800

With all his wheezing, snorting, and coughing on a normal basis, North can't handle the additional pressure of walking while wearing a collar. I only buy harnesses and strongly recommend them for both training purposes and for safety, security, and comfort. A harness distributes the weight around a dog's body as he pulls, preventing the choking effect that collars can have on the more vigorous tuggers – they're actually at risk of neck and trachea injuries while simply having fun! Add to that, there's no worry that my precious pet will slip out of my hands or out of his harness as we spot birds and squirrels on daily walks –
and that's all the more reason for his extensive collection!
