A dog wearing a bright red cape and goggles hung its head happily out the window of a car driving past. I almost missed the well dressed pooch in her perfect clothes. I was informed she was wearing Doggles-UV ray filters. The American Pet Products Association reports that an estimated $47.7 billion was spent in 2010 on dogs. It's not a surprise that the relationship between the human and his pet is changing. As the human population ages, dogs become important for companionship while the make believe mom puts pizzazz on her pooch through clothes. The truth hit me, it might be fun to dress my dog. Large clothes or small, there is a tremendous variety. By now you are saying, what clothes, where do I buy them and don't forget the jewelry?
Clothes
We pamper our pets and bring them wherever we go so why not dress them? Bandanas, bows and ribbons are common but there are many other choices. Faux fur coats, red velvet capes, designer jackets, leather collars with bling, monogrammed rain coats and holiday outfits are just a few of the options. If you are looking for the latest fashion such as a spring dress, tutu or leopard harness Glamour Dog is the place to go. The site also carries flashy collars and fancy hair pins - take a look. Some major brands are now offering dog clothes such as: Harley Davidson and Old Navy. Amazon has a complete section dedicated to dog clothes, while Petco and Petsmart also sell them, as well. Have fun and dress your dog.

So what's in it for your dog? Yes, dogs get cold. In the winter, extra clothing could help keep your pooch warm. Most dogs don't like standing in the rain or snow. Buy a rain coat or snow jacket. Sometimes booties are necessary for the sore paw. Or maybe the enjoyment of the owner and all the attention is enough. Clothes make the dog!
Jewelry
We're talking about way more than collars and leashes. Dog jewelry can have beads and stones designed for the breed. Try Glitzy Pet Jewelry for some upbeat necklaces that will make you proud. For charms to place on that blingy collar you just bought your dog or for an owners necklace, try EF Sterling.
