Leashes
I Need Your Help . . . Must Two Dogs Equal Two Leashes?
Whether it's double trouble or two times the fun, two pups definitely provide twice the tangles when being walked together. I'm a fan of tandem leashes (like this one) in theory, but I've never had to hook North up with another furry friend.
Community Member Kelli Ann asks:
This is our second dog and we want to try out a dual leash.
Mickey Rourke Loves His Animal . . . Print!
Mickey Rourke took a stroll with his traveling chihuahua Jaws in New York's West Village earlier this week, and was seen leading his pooch with a very purple and very leopard-spotted leash. I knew Mickey was into fashion, but who knew this guy was such a trendsetter?
Sure, purple leashes have been around the block a few times already, but this pattern looks veeery similar to a Louis Vuitton scarf that I've seen around town.
Shine a Light on Your Dark Walks
It never hurts to have some extra light when walking in the evening. Even if your nighttime walks stay on city roads with plentiful lamps, the Leash Light ($10) can illuminate the sidewalk and street to show cracks and bumps and make you a bit more visible to traffic, too.
Now for those of you who like to stroll on darker country roads or away from streetlamps, the six ultra-bright LED bulbs can really show you the way.
Mischa and Ziggy Take a Flexi(ble) Flight to The Beautiful Life
What better flying companion than a pooch! Mischa Barton took off from LA with best pal, Ziggy, on their way to begin filming The Beautiful Life in NYC.
Sadly we can't see the surely stylin' collar, but I do spot what looks like an older model Flexi for her tiny Tibetan Spaniel — the retractable leads come in a rainbow of colors with cord or tape models available.
Found! Follow Thurman Murman's Super Stripe Lead
You don't need to see this handsome fella's mama to recognize him, right? The ever-stylish Thurman Murman has yet another pretty leash as he leads Rachel around the streets of LA.
If your doggies at home look up to Thurman for fashion inspiration, pick up a Super Duper Stripe Dog Lead, which comes in two sizes (5/8 inches and one inch wide) for 39 bucks.
To the Rescue: 9 Tips For Kitty Care and Conundrums
I live in a dog house. That is to say, sometimes my dog, North, lets me in his territory. Though we don't share our space with any kitties, I know many of you do.
Pet Peeves: I Need to Get a Grip on Walktime!
Q: Although we're working on training, my 100-pound dog still sometimes pulls on the leash. Since I'm not that much bigger than he is (weight-wise), I'm always worried I'll drop the lead. Do you have any tips on getting a better grip?
New Product Alert! Wonderdog Birdie
There's a new collar in town from Wonderdog – hello, little Birdie. No tweet tweeting here but your pup (who's naturally getting a new collar for his Spring collection) should go cuckoo for these three items.
Featuring blue birds, red birds or pink birds, I love the contrasting background colors for each, sure to pop on coats of all colors.
New Product Alert! Lilly Pulitzer For Mascot
When I think of Lilly Pulitzer, I envision matching outfits for kids and moms, not necessarily dog accessories. However, for their 50th anniversary, they're teaming up with one of my favorite pet brands, Mascot, to create a special line of collars and leashes for furry friends instead.
Offered in two trademark patterns – Lobster Pot and Party Patch – put a spring in your pup's step with these springy designs.
Collars and Leashes on the Cheap at American Apparel
We were already a fan of their pet tees, so I was happy to see American Apparel now branch out into other dog goodies. In line with the company's people picks, they chose bold colors for the furry friends in your life – select The Dog Collar ($15) and The Dog Leash ($12) in these contrasting combos (if you're into the matching thing).
Both collars and leashes come in three different sizes for lil pups to big dogs and, at these prices, you may even pick up a couple spare sets, too.
