Pets Can Honor 9/11 Too

September 11, 2001 is a day every American will remember vividly for the rest of their lives. As we honor the tenth anniversary of this infamous day, let us all remember the sacrifices made by so many to keep us safe and our freedoms secure.

At the Posh Puppy Boutique, we sell pet outfits that let your animals honor the brave men and women—and the many innocent victims—who perished on that fateful day.

Among our costumes is a bright red Fire Dog With Hat ($30), complete with reflective yellow stripes on the back and front legs. It comes complete with a squeak toy fire extinguisher held on with Velcro. Sizes range from extra-small to extra-large.

Honor police officers with a Canine Cop Costume ($30), complete with blue cap and plastic handcuffs.

We also carry a wide assortment of pet clothing that will not only honor the military every time it’s worn, but provide added comfort and style for your pet.

Take a look at our Green Camo Vest ($108), which both wind and water-proof. Fleece lined, they have removable hoods and have drawstrings for the hood and hips, providing additional warm for your canine pal. This vest is available in sizes from extra-small to 5XL for even the largest dogs.

Another option is our U.S. Army Leather Dog Harness ($68), which can be purchased with a star crest, skull crest or tank crest. Each harness is equipped with a D-ring and Velcro closures.

Don’t forget girls when it comes to camouflage. We carry several items in very feminine camo color combinations. One example is our Camo Dog Tank in Pink ($22). This pullover is easy and comfortable to wear.

Our sleeveless Pink Camo Monster Hoodie ($43) is made with cotton and lycra. It even has rhinestones for that added girly touch.

No matter how you do it, though, take a moment to honor the victims and heroes of Sept. 11 on the tenth anniversary of that fateful day. We will.

Call us at 888-837-5230 with any questions or visit us online at the Posh Puppy Boutique. We are also on Facebook and Twitter.

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.
