Preparing a Christmas Stocking for Your Dog

It is so easy these days to go into a pet store or supermarket and just buy a ready-filled Christmas stocking for your dog. Although they are certainly convenient, these off the shelf stockings just don’t have the personal touch that you want.

Also the quality is not always what you would want for your special friend. The toys are often cheap and break or are chewed to bits within minutes and the treats or biscuits are rarely the type preferred by your pup!

The solution is to create your own special Christmas stocking for your dog and to fill it with all the goodies and toys you know he will love.......

What to Get Your Designer Dog

Gorgeous Doggy Fashions
Canine fashion has become very popular in recent times and it's now possible to purchase practically any variety of outfits for your dog. So what to go for for your pup? Pooch T Shirts are all the rage now and are perfect for all dogs. Dog's TShirts are available in a range of colours, some simple, some with diamante or sparkle to give them more 'bling'. Or what about picking a cheeky slogan? They will raise a smile wherever you go with your designer doggy!

If the weather is a little colder you may well need something a little warmer to dress your pup in. A lot of people currently select Hoodies or Knitwear for pups you'll find plenty of beautiful designs. For really cold weather conditions then you simply have to have a coat for your fluffy pal.

Smart Collars and Leads
Of course you really need a smart leash and collar to go with your designer puppy fashion. Designer pup leads and collars are available in a range of forms. Starting from the long-established leather with studs to nylon with diamante 'bling' - there's something for each man and his dog!

Leather collars and leads are strong long lasting and often improve with time. Leash and collars produced from nylon are nearly indestructible, and that is a significant advantage if you have a 'chewer'! The array of colours and designs is great with just about every combination of shade and pattern you would wish for - from stars and flowers to tartan! Several owners may rather use a harness as an alternative to the traditional collar, particularly for the smaller doggy breeds.

Adorable Toys
Your puppy is in fact just a big kid at heart and what your puppy would really ask for if he could talk would be a new toy! Dog toys need not cost a great deal and there are lots to choose from. Soft toys offer pup something soft and fluffy to snuggle down with, perhaps with a bit of a squeak too for if he wants a bit of a chew! 

Pups like to chew especially whilst they're young, but you won't want them chewing your stuff, so be sure your pup has his specific chewy toys to play with! The top pup chew toys also clean your dog's teeth at the same time as they're having fun - an added advantage! A fine method to keep your dog occupied for hours is the famous Kong Classic Dog Treat Toy. Just pack the toy with treats and your pooch will be so busy and contented getting to the treat. 

A Comfy Bed
Your pup wants a bed that is soft and comfy. There's a huge assortment to choose from in a variety of colours, designs and fabrics. The conventional design for a doggy bed is round, oval or square, with raised sides to prevent draughts, and make your doggy feel safe and secure. If your doggy is still at the chewing phase then opt for one of the anti - chew beds. Water resistant pooch beds are perfect when your puppy is little and still at the 'accident' stage! 

Everything your doggy might desire - clothes, toys, leads and collars and a fine bed to snuggle up in! Designer Dog Online.co.uk
