Sun Protection for your best friend’s head during this summer!

Just in time for fall to keep your best friend’s head, cool since summer is here! No need to worry though, there are lots of Dog Hats available for Dogs. These dog hats keep your dog cool both inside and outside the house.

We know that dogs have fur and it will protect them from cold weather. Yes, they do but what for the summers. When weather gets extreme then they too need protection. A dog hat is a must during this hot weather. Small dogs, short-haired breeds as well as puppies, older and sick dogs need extra protection in hot environments. Do you know that short-haired breeds such as boxers, great Danes, bull terriers and Chihuahuas are especially vulnerable to the heat as are puppies and senior dogs?

We need to thank the sellers who come up with wonderful ideas of products, with which we can now help our dogs stay cool during summers, and let them still enjoy the summer!

Swarovski crystals on the front pair will give her that sassy and classy look. They are also available in navy and red.

Outdoor-minded dogs might like the patented soles and angles in our EPIKS ™ dog shoes ($68-$72). Unlike other dog shoes, the EPIKS—available in black, blue, brown, pink and red—have different pairs for your dog’s front and back feet.

Harnesses Reduce Stress on Your Dog's Neck

Dog collars, while functional, do not give owners the same degree of control over their pets as an alternative: harnesses.

Accidental strong shocks transmitted to your dog’s through their collar can choke or hurt them, such as if you fell and pulled their leash. This is not an issue with harnesses.

Collars transmit human commands, such as jerks, to your dog’s neck where the leash and collar connect. While not perfect for controlling your dog, collars are excellent in terms of picking your posh pooch out of a pack. Good collars combine good taste with tags providing your pet’s identification and rabies vaccination. The best ones are not only stylish, but provide or reflect light, making your canine companion visible at night.

Harnesses, though, shift the leash connection point from the neck to the shoulders or center of the back, depending on the design. These devices also wrap around your dog’s chest and their belly, securing them. This design means forces that a collar transmits to your dog’s neck instead are distributed over most of their body. One example is the Ultra USA “Choke Free Harness.”

A harness’s design reduces the impact of yanks, jerks and sudden movement on your dog’s delicate neck bones. By shifting the connection point for your leash, you not only protect your pet, but gain more control over their movement. A short tug on a harness often gets dogs to stop in their tracks some trainers say.

Harnesses come in a wide range of sizes, colors and shapes. This variety makes them perfect for the fashion-conscious pet owner. Your pet looks like your perfect companion, dressed to the nines, while also being safe and secure. One example is this pink and lime bow model.

The Posh Puppy Boutique carries harnesses designed as dresses, vests and T-shirts, in leather and from designer Susan Lanci. Step-in models, which are easy to attach, are also available.

The Posh Puppy Boutique carries stylish harness dresses for fashion-conscious female dogs. Girls can’t have all the fun, especially when there are many handsome designs for boys.

When safety, comfort and style are your top pet concerns, consider starting with a collar then complementing it with a stylish harness.

Visit the Posh Puppy Boutique on-line or call 888-837-5230 with any questions.
