Clothes make the dog! With the variety of dog clothing available, today's dog owners have lots of options when it comes to dressing their pets. Dressing your dog is fun, stylish, and showcases the personality of the dog and its owner. Dog clothing is available in everything from lounge wear to formal wear, for small dogs and for big dogs. But take care . . . too much fun and your dog will take over your closet!

There is a dog outfit for just about every occasion. If you are looking for everyday casual wear, there are pants and shorts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, sweaters, and jackets and coats. In general, whatever you see people in will be similar to what is fashionable in dog wear. T-shirts with sayings on them such as "diva" and "spoiled" are popular, as are hooded sweaters. Casual dog clothing is a great way to make a statement about your pet's personality. If your little dog has a big dog attitude, get the point across with a studded black t-shirt or a leather jacket. Knitwear is extremely popular in cooler climates, and can be made in a variety of materials. There are lots of cute acrylic sweaters out there, but there are also some high-end luxurious sweaters if you really want to spoil your pet. There are Irish knit pet sweaters that are intricate and beautiful, and yes, there are also dog sweaters made of cashmere. Dog coats come in just about every color and style, including quilted, down, and faux-shearling. Rain gear is also available for those dogs who don't enjoy foul weather.

Some people like to keep their pets dressed all the time. For these folks, cute and fun pajamas are a must. And what does your dog wear after a bath? There are bathrobes available in all colors and sizes!

Other people dress their pets just on special occasions. Formal wear options include wedding dresses, tuxedos, and prom and bridesmaid-type dresses. If your dog is a less is more type of guy a simple bowtie and collar might do the trick. Less formal but highly stylish options include dresses designed to look like those made by well-known designers.

If you are going somewhere particular and want your dog to blend in, chances are there's an outfit that will fit your needs. If you are going to be lounging on the beach with your dog, make sure she is properly attired in a cute bikini. If you are going hiking, a pair of cargo shorts are de rigeur. And if you are sending your dog out trick-or-treating there are an endless number of possibilities, from bumblebee to hotdog. Chances are there is even a costume to match yours!

If you and your dog are a fan of a particular pro or college sports team, there are plenty of hats, sweatshirts, and jerseys designed to get the point across. Dogs who prefer as little adornment as possible, but who also want to get a little of their personality across, can wear hats and bandanas designed just for them.

Have some fun and show off your fashion sense. Go clothes shopping with your dog!

The days of your dog taking over your bed are long gone. Today's high-end dog beds are so luxurious, so comfortable, and so stylish that dogs are deciding to stay put. In fact, these beds are enticing enough to make their owner's jealous. Move over, Rover!

Dog owners no longer have to hide a nondescript stuffed cushion in the corner. Luxurious dog beds complement, even enhance, a room. Depending upon your needs and the style of your decor, there is a dog bed out there for every room.

Today it is possible to get a dog bed that functions like one, but sure doesn't look like one. Sure, the cover is washable and removable and yes, the leather is synthetic. But high-end dog beds are often camouflaged to mimic the furniture in your room. They blend into the decor. Depending upon what you prefer it is possible to get a bed in the Italianate, art deco, shabby chic, Colonial, or Victorian styles, to name just a few. Have a stuffy living room where pooch needs a perch? Try something in the Louis XVI or Marie Antoinette styles. Don't want to clutter your minimalist living room with a conventional overstuffed dog bed? Try a sleek and modern bed in black synthetic leather with a chrome frame. Some of these beds are so extremely stylish they not only fit into the room's decor, they actually stand out!

Some dog beds are all about the fun. There are beds with a disco theme, beds with animal print covers, beds shaped like racecars and taxi cabs, and beds shaped like tents. There are even outdoor cabana-style beds for dogs who like to lounge poolside!

Some dog owners are concerned more with their dog's comfort than they are with style. There are plenty of high-end dog beds on the market designed to maximize your pet's comfort. Orthopedic pet beds have long been popular with owners of dogs who have injuries or ailments, or are of advanced age. Orthopedic beds are generally made of foam and are designed to relieve pressure points. Memory foam, which has recently become popular with people, is now making its way into the dog bed market. Memory foam pet beds give a floating, weightless feeling. Memory foam reacts to a dog's body temperature, weight, and shape and molds to your dog's shape. Like other orthopedic models memory foam relieves pressure points, and is very comfy!

Chances are there is a dog bed out there in a color, style, and shape that fits your needs, and the needs of your dog. But if not, there are companies that will let you design your own dog bed, then will custom-make it for you. This is a good option for a dog owner who has a specific fabric in mind, or who wants to match the bed exactly to the curtains. This option also works well for people who have very specific space needs and require a bed in an unconventional size.

Whether you are looking for a bed that will blend into your home's decor, interested in buying something that's fun, or searching for a bed that will address your pet's health needs, there are a wide variety of luxurious dog beds from which to choose.
