In the Spotlight: Daisy Helps Jessica Be Fancy

PetSugar — Mon, 20 Oct 2008 03:00:52 -0700

Is it just me or is Daisy looking better than ever these days?! Looks like the maltipoo got a trim to share the spotlight at Jessica Simpson's perfume launch in Dallas over the weekend – after all the fragrance is called "Fancy" so could she bring along a pup with a sloppy cut? I think not.I know North would remain atop that table for about one second . . . followed by breaking glass and his dive into the audience for kisses. See what Daisy did while Jess was signing autographs when you read more.

All You Ultra Coffee Cup: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:00:54 -0800

I need my daily coffee before I get started with the day - though I usually grab it on the way into the office, it's definitely more cost-conscious to brew the beans at home. Maybe if I had such a fancy mug?

You may be wondering what this All You Ultra Coffee Cup ($33) is doing on PetSugar but it's actually made to match a set of dog bowls, coincidentally, the same pricey set North enjoys. Do you think it matters that you start the day drinking out of the same fancy pieces as your precious pets . . . even though your tableware stays up top while the animals' are relegated to the kitchen floor.

Sienna and Bess Have a Girls' Day Out

PetSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 04:00:11 -0800

Just two gals out for a Fall stroll, nothing to see here. Oh, who I am kidding, I'm happy to see so much of Sienna and Bess stateside, with her favorite red leash! I'm missing Porgy, but are you secretly hoping he's home with Jude?
Whether or not they're sharing custody, or if she's just not a fan of juggling two leashes, I hope her other dog has an equally fancy leash - while a vegetable-dyed, Eco-Leather Flat Stitch Lead ($26) in red looks smashing against dark fur, I think the lighter-colored pup would look dashing in a forest green hue to make the color pop!

Found! January Jones's Roped Leash

PetSugar — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 15:45:38 -0800

This shaggy black dog sports a rosy lead with his leading lady mom, Mad Men star, January Jones, aww! While you may not be a fan of matchy-matchy leashes for your pet, the lucky dog has a fancy leash that coordinates with a pretty and pink purse . . . and I've sniffed it out.

The Aspen Pet Mountain Dog Leash ($23) is extra durable, with the rope style extending to the handle to make it a comfortable option for your hiking adventures and it comes in red, black, or blue combos in addition to the pink and gray style that January carries.

As season three of the popular series wrapped up last night, perhaps she'll have a bit of a break for more furry QT with this adorable dog in the coming months - check out more pics of the duo below.

New Product Alert! Bespoke Dog Accessories Collection

PetSugar — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 11:10:27 -0700

Best known for his quality leather duffles and briefcases, Britain-based Bill Amberg expanded his business to include our furry friends, launching a new Bespoke dog accessories collection in London on Tuesday.

Including a chic bed, leather lead, and shearling-lined coat, there are no prices listed online yet, but I'm betting the hand-crafted, vegetable-dyed leather won't come too cheaply. Check out the shown off items in the gallery and let me know if anything catches your fancy in the comments below.

Flocke Doesn't Need Fancy Props to Be Super-Cute

PetSugar — Mon, 11 Aug 2008 10:30:47 -0700

Flocke didn't kick the bucket (literally), but boy did she have some fun with one. The hands-down winner of the cutest polar bear poll turned 8 months old today. While I loved her divine dancing skills, I also can't get enough of her playing with DIY toys over in Nuremberg Zoo - hey, there's no need for fancy props with a face that adoro.

The Cat Teepee: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Mon, 14 Sep 2009 04:00:45 -0700

Clearly, cat owners, your home's not cutting it. Allowing felines free reign is one thing, but is your backyard still missing their second house? The Cat Teepee ($300) is like a fancy version of another wacky product - with three additional levels for cats to climb and rest, it's a whole playground for outdoor pets. The door that lets kitties frolic on the grass can be left open or looped shut so indoor cats can get a touch of sunshine without roaming far.

Before you immediately balk at the price tag, especially if you live in a climate where some months are too chilly for outdoor time, remove the netting and the teepee can set up shop in your living room - are you sold yet?

Triumph Hurls Humorous Insults All Over D Pet Hotels

PetSugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 12:40:09 -0700

Admittedly, I often check my pampered pup into a pooch hotel (when he can't come along) though not quite as fancy as the deluxe room at D Pet Hotels - it has a bigger bed and flat screen than my actual apartment. Nevertheless, when I get my bill, I still wonder how many features lil North truly appreciates (play group, most definitely; blueberry facial, probably not). So I can't help cracking up at Triumph's behind-the-scenes doggie take at this Hollywood resort - Be warned, there is cursing . . . but there's also a whole lot of funny.

PetSugar Street Team: True Blue Super Fresh Shampoo

PetSugar — Mon, 04 May 2009 06:56:34 -0700

Good thing there are plenty of other dog owners in the office, otherwise North would have a serious case of dandruff! I've been wanting to test out all the shampoos I've had stashed in my desk for a while now, but if I bathe my pup too often, his skin gets flaky and dry. Thankfully, Samson was good and stinky (and needed to be fresh and clean for our Dog Day on the Bay) when I asked LilPeaPod to test out True Blue's Super Fresh Grapefruit and Chamomile Shampoo ($13).

I liked the fact that True Blue was not only detergent-free, but is never tested on animals, is hypoallergenic, and is even safe for the earth - right down to the biodegradable bottle. What did our tester like about this shampoo, besides the fact that it smells divine? Find out if it's anything to bark about, and check out Samson's coat in a before and after when you read more.

LilPeaPod says:
At first sniff, True Blue smells like something out of a fresh botanical garden, but it doesn't overpower your nose. Good thing, since Samson isn't into all that flowery stuff - he prefers grass and dirt over roses and lilies. Getting the shampoo out of the bottle was easy enough (there's nothing worse than straining with wet hands to squeeze product onto your slippery and anxious dog), and it lathered up quite nicely.

With some dog shampoos, I've found that I have to put a ton on him to feel like I'm getting enough lather and coverage, but True Blue went the distance. It even rinsed off really quickly, just like the bottle promised. Plus, it didn't leave a film on his coat, and after he dried off he was silky and shiny, and didn't smell like a wet dog! Fancy that.
