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.

New Product Alert: Fall Carriers From Ella Dish!

PetSugar — Fri, 03 Oct 2008 07:00:41 -0700

Fall is my favorite time of year, mostly due to the great weather, but it's really the season's fashions that get me all a twitter! I'm getting set for the weather change in my wardrobe, so it's only natural that I get North all caught up, too – he's one hip hound if I do say so myself! If your pet can still fit in a carrier, you're going to fall in love with Ella Dish's new line of bags. These Ella Carriers ($165) are rugged enough not to get dirty after one use, and they come with the brand's signature nylon webbing. Since accessorizing is key to making a complete wardrobe, these cases will surely go with all your autumnal updates – sounds like another Fall must have to me!

Pampered Pals: Jet Setter For Your Jet Setters

PetSugar — Wed, 03 Sep 2008 16:15:58 -0700

At first glance, I thought this carrier was waaaay to big to fit as any airplane carryon, but I was wrong! This Jet Setter ($170 and up) rolls upright and, when laid on the side, slides right under the seat in front of you. Meant for pets up to 15 pounds, this bag weighs only about three pounds with the wheels removed. It comes in a rainbow of colors (I like the camo and titanium best), materials like rugged canvas and ballistic nylon, and offers lots of ventilation for your lil guy – there's even enough pockets to serve as your personal item, too. What's more is that it easily straps into a seatbelt for a safe trip to the airport for your high-flying pets. . . it's time for takeoff!

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.

Legs Out Front Pet Carrier: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Tue, 10 Jun 2008 00:30:00 -0700

Even though I've seen these in stores in the past, I would definitely do a double take if I spotted one of these girls on the street. Though there are many variations of this ~~baby~~ doggy carrier, products like the Legs Out Front Pet Carrier ($27.50 and up) are designed to promote bonding. A lot of bonding. As much as LilSugar loves those slings to snuggle her babe, I don't think I'm ready to tote my pup legs out – are you?

Legs Out Front Pet Carrier: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

Spoiled sweet – only the best for my furry friends.

Spoiled rotten – if my pet could roll his eyes, he would.

How Much Does It Cost to Carry a Pet in a Real Ostrich Bag?

PetSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 07:00:50 -0700

When I spotted this classy camel-colored bag under the arm of Antonio Sabato at the 7th annual Nuts for Mutts Dog Show and Pet Fair to benefit New Leash on Life, I made it my morning mission to locate a similar faux ostrich bag. Even though Antonio's lucky pooch gets a mock ostrich carrier, little did I know that my search for it would lead me to an authentic ostrich pet carrier . . . with an equally shocking price tag. Can you guess how much that bag costs? Don't worry, there's a picture included next to the question below.

PetMarking Mission Completed: Collar Matching Mission

PetSugar — Fri, 16 May 2008 13:45:03 -0700

Last week I asked all you savvy shoppers and Internet researchers out there to come PetMarking with me on a collar matching mission to help my pal LilPeaPod find a cute collar to match the chic carrier she's bought for her brand-new puppy. I think this denim studded collar ($23) petmarked by wren would look super cute on the lil stud – he'd be handsome and a wee bit punky, too!

Pampered Pals: Forget the LV Sac Chien and Try Sac Baxter

PetSugar — Wed, 14 May 2008 10:30:59 -0700

If you need to tote your pal around town this new bag will surely get you both noticed! Looking much more "purse-like" than the already popular Louis Vuitton Sac Chien we see with celebripups like Daisy and Maui, the Sac Baxter comes with a monogram canvas leash with clasp and removable cushion to keep your pet extra safe and snuggly – and an exterior pocket for all your essentials. What surprised me the most is that this carrier comes in two sizes – the smaller Monogram Canvas Sac Baxter PM ($1,410) and a larger Monogram Canvas Sac Baxter GM ($1,520) that can carry a pet weighing up to 44 pounds. I think I'd need to carry that dog with both arms!

What Do You Know About Wookie?

PetSugar — Tue, 13 May 2008 14:45:45 -0700

Even though Wookie wasn't our puppy of the year, I still love this cutie pooch. The dog is very well traveled, and just left LAX yesterday on a jet airliner with Vanessa Minnillo. This isn't the first time we've seen the pup, but how much do we really know? Find out (and see more pictures!) in this quiz.

Do You Tote Your Pets?

PetSugar — Mon, 12 May 2008 00:30:24 -0700

Although my pal already bought a pretty pricey carrier for her new pup, I fell in love with this London Pet Tote ($99) while scouring the Internet for our Collar Matching Mission, and only wish that North was still a baby so I could have a reason to buy it for his bus trips! It seems North is my excuse to buy things more than I realize!This product got me wondering how many people actually tote their pets around, not just on public transportation, but just walking around the city or even in the suburbs. So I want to know: How many of you carry your pets around in a tote bag? Source

Do You Tote Your Pets?

I carry my pet around with me all the time!

My pet has four legs, he can walk!

I tote my pet around sometimes, but not very often.

Something else. See my comment below.

Come PetMarking With Me: Collar Matching Mission

PetSugar — Tue, 06 May 2008 16:00:17 -0700

One of my pals is getting a new puppy and, in preparation for his arrival (or just total overexcitement), she has already dropped a chunk of cash on this Denim Bowling Bag ($170) from Wagwear as her first official puppy-accessory purchase. And, being the fashionista that she is, she wants to find a collar that matches the bag for her new furry pal to sport when they are out on the town, on their way to the dog park, or while lunching it up at a cafe. She has enlisted our help for the mission, so let's find a great matching collar for her new four-legged bundle of joy!

PetMarking Mission Completed: Pet Bags

PetSugar — Wed, 21 Nov 2007 07:00:18 -0800

Last week I challenged you to find great carriers to transport your pets around town in the car – or clear across the country in the airplane cabin! We bookmarked over 80 pet bags, and I'm still giggling about my fave one. PetMarked by PrincessTracy, the Pampered Puppy Dog Carrier ($149) reminds me of an amusement park photo opp where guests can capture pictures of a friend's head on a weightlifter's cartoon body! It's too small for my lil' guy but works for pets up to 11 pounds. Check out all the results from our mission here, and to see a widget of my top ten,
