Buy Turtles For Kitty to Safely Chase and Chew

PetSugar — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 13:20:19 -0700

Even though an unfortunate wild turtle snack recently made the list of crazy pet insurance claims, these turtles are meant for kitty's mouth. Not to swallow, but they're precious tortoises for feline fun.

From plush to plastic, there's something for chasers, chewers, and the catnip-obsessed. I love the charming crocheted terrapins - handcrafted and stuffed with organic catnip, these new toys at Trixie + Peanut will delight animal lovers in the house but click through the rest below.

Tweet tweet, I'm on Twitter, North's on Twitter, are you on Twitter? For the still unfamiliar, it's a super easy outlet for that stream-of-consciousness pet voice and an addictive way to keep updated and update pals with thoughts, plans, and more.

Twittering pets doesn't seem to be a trend that's ending anytime soon so check out these twitter-inspired goodies I've hunted down. (No birds were harmed in the writing of this post.) For those tweetly-obsessed, there are a couple shirts that let his walktime pals know he's in the tech loop - otherwise, just peep other little birdy items. So subtle.

Trend Setters: Your Furry Gourmands Can Enjoy Sushi, Too

If your friends are anything like mine, it's a battle to get them to suggest a single meal that doesn't involve sushi. Now the idea of fresh fish and kitties go ~~hand-in-hand~~ paw-in-fin but there are plenty of doggie rolls, too. Grab your chopsticks and dig into these tasty morsels!

Trend Alert: Statement Necklaces For the Four-Legged Set

PetSugar — Tue, 19 May 2009 14:24:49 -0700

Not technically necklaces, these pretty pieces still make quite a statement. Hello there. Since oversized necklaces continue to be a favorite fashion trend of mine, I'm gonna rename these statement collars for furballs.

Take Sundance ($58) - I love the turquoise centerpiece and smaller round details 'cause it's so cowboy chic with a Southwestern twist. There's plenty of other items in both thick and thin for pooches of all sizes and styles. Guarantee these jewels will get him noticed on his next walk around town!

Midnight Passion Dog Collar & Leash ($64)	Starlight Small Black Dog Collar & Leash ($68)
Rosso Punch Dog Collar & Leash ($48)	Jackson Hole Dog Collar & Leash ($48)
Desert Secret Large Dog Collar & Leash ($84)	Sundance Black Leather Dog Collar & Leash ($58)
New York Rhinestone Stars Dog Collar & Leash ($200)	Swarovski Crystals & Turquoise set on a Gold Leather Collar ($40)	Milano Dog Collar & Leash Gold ($200)

Trend Setters: Shikisai

PetSugar — Mon, 20 Apr 2009 03:00:05 -0700

I love the simple style of the Shikisai. While they've got sketches for adults and toddlers, check out their pet line (extra-small to large). Using just black ink on white background, the shirts all feature line drawings of ordinary objects. While I'm not sure I've got the extra $30 at the moment, put this one on my list for things I'll invest in when the economy picks up again. I'm doodling just thinking about it.

Trend Setters: Furry Streakers

PetSugar — Wed, 25 Mar 2009 07:15:00 -0700

Well, well, well, the first question that came to my mind when I saw these pups (after why) was how, 'cause I know there's at least someone out there wondering how to follow the trend of these pooches snapped in LA. In fact, the streaked pups remind me of lil Preston's way of standing out on the set of Greatest American Dog. Since North already has a dark mask, ears, and back half, he's not quite a candidate but if you think this is cool not cruel, I've found the products for you.

For $25, you can pick up a tub of non-toxic, semi-permanent dye specifically formulated for pets in a gel product that's less messy than liquid alternatives. Coming in nine shades, the colors even include black if you fancy making a Maltese look more Boston Terrier or even Dalmatian while you're at it!

This (New) Home: Summa Canum, the Obama Dog House

PetSugar — Wed, 25 Feb 2009 04:15:42 -0800

Perfect for a dog living in the actual White House, the eco-tastic Sustainable Pet Design created this habitat as a gift for the Obama family's future pet. Consisting of donated materials as part of Project Summa Canum (Latin for "top dog"), the house even has presidential origins – it's made with wood from Tennessee Aromatic Cedar trees that Andrew Jackson planted along the driveway of his estate, The Hermitage. This white house looks pretty amazing – see the sandblasted logo on the back – and I can't wait to find out what kind of pooch will be living inside!

Trend Setters: Crewmutts Get True Blue For Fall

PetSugar — Tue, 07 Oct 2008 10:40:17 -0700

Brrr, can you feel that nip in the air? I know North can so I want my peppy, preppy pup to take advantage of furry Fall fashions – cooler colors and warm knits. This season's Crewmutts (from J. Crew) line now offers some great blue totes, textured sweaters, and darker madras styles. You may recall their summery madras of seasons past, but the latest versions also have a removable sherpa lining for additional warm cozies heading straight into Winter.

Trend Setters: Preppy Pets Rock . . . Tennis Chic

PetSugar — Tue, 26 Aug 2008 12:30:36 -0700

It's been a while since I've gave you a preppy update, but here I am with some tennis-inspired dog gear to celebrate the US Open.

If your dog's ready to play a game of fetch (and not a fan of dressing up), why not sub a simple prop like a collar or accessory? I especially love these visors – I thought I found every possible hat back on National Hat Day, but guess not . . . it's totally tennis prep for pups!

Celeb Redo: A Better Doggie Bag For Susan Sarandon

PetSugar — Tue, 15 Jul 2008 12:00:01 -0700

I love to see celebs getting snuggly with their pooches, so how delighted was I to catch this glimpse of Susan Sarandon and her lil Maltese?! Even so, I'm less pleased to witness the furry-pal-inside-purse phenom later that night.

Granted, the two were attending Longchamp's 60th Anniversary celebration in NYC, so the Legende Satchel was a must-have, but where's a proper tote for her precious pet, Penny? Next time, hopefully she'll carry that metallic trend with an appropriate luxe, gold (dog) bag like these below.
