High-End Fashion Reviews and Buying Advice for DOGS

Dogs in Duds

f.w.
Online pets shops are all the rage, judging by the millions of people who click onto the websites weekly. One of the biggest and oldest online pet supply stores is called Doctors Foster and Smith - www.drsfostersmith.com - a Winsconsin-based catalogue company since the 1980's. This company was launched by three founder Vets who then went on to launch a website in the late 1990'. This site receives one million visitors a month and generates about $125 million annually.

In 2007, the now-maturing online pet sector is doing very well online. We Americans spent $36 billion on our animals in 2005, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association. This figure is more than we spend on shoes, sporting items or even toys. So, it is no surprise that the US had hundreds of sites ranging from warehouse stores like www.petpledge.com to larger niche-interest sites like www.dogwise.com. The latest trend is for small boutiques in New York City; 'doggie bling heaven' - www.trixieandpeanut.com. Here you can purchase a pure cashmere sweater for your beloved animal for a mere $119.

Far from being frivolous, online shopping is a boon to the many full-time working homes with little chance to go to their local pet store. The uniqueness of the stock offered really draws in buyers which include speciality items such as doggie T-shirts, dog and cat cloths, unusual dog and cat toys, doggie bathrobes, monogrammed collars, monogrammed designer cloths, designer beds, bling and dimante collars and couture clothes for those with a more specific taste. These stores can also offer hard to find training DVD's, books and anything else that your little darling may need.

Most of the US online retailers offer discounts on bulk orders. These online stores are growing at a tremendous rate with some not being able to keep up with the demand for their stock. It is no longer in the hands of Superstars only to have a matching doggie or cat. People really have taken up this new fad and welcome it open heartedly. So, just point and click your way to an online store and you can select from the wide range of anything you want for your little darling.

One of the bestselling items is.....can you guess? No? Well, it is a monogrammed dog bathrobe. Pet owners know exactly what they are looking for and if it is not in the brochure then you can have anything you like hand-made for your pet. Wedding suits are highly fashionable on the East Coast of the US as more-and-more pets tie-the-knot in wedded bliss. You can spend an absolute fortune on designer wedding outfits for dogs and cats and really the sky's the limit.
