Dog Boots with Traction

“Slip Sliding Away” is a great Simon and Garfunkel tune, but it just won’t do for dog shoes.  Too many dog shoes and dog booties don’t provide enough traction to keep them from slipping on hardwood floors.  This is why we recommend “Hott Doggers” dog boots by Muttluks.  Hott Doggers are dog boots made with soft fleece tops and durable non skid soles.  We have found that they provide great indoor and outdoor protection – providing needed traction on both hardwood floors and decks.  In addition, the flleced lined boots will keep your doggy toasty warm as he/she performs feats of agility on your hardwood floor.    

Protection dosen’t end with dog shoes though.  Muttluks Pawstik is a moisturizing balm for protection against salt, snow and ice.  Just twist the stick and apply directly to the pads of your dog’s paws.

Pass the Ketchup!

 Everyone loves wiener dogs!!  And who wouldn’t love dressing up their dachshunds in a hot dog bun?  The problem is that real hot dog buns get stale, they crumble, and will most likely get eaten by your pooch.

 This is why Handsnpaws offers a comfortable hot dog costume.  The “Hot Diggity Dog” costume.  Two plush poppy seed buns will surround your dog, with a splash of ketchup or mustard on top.  Adjustable velcro straps makes these costumes easy to take on and off and provide a very comfortable fit for your dog.   Handsnpaws.com carries 5 sizes from x-small to extra large. 

Dogs Support Our Troops Too!

Marine Corps Patch Dog Tee

OoRah!!!  This pooch wishes he was on the frontlines with his leatherneck brothers and sisters.    Since he can’t, he proudly shows off his Marince Corps patch dog tee.     The “few, the proud, the adorable!” 

If your dog is Hooah!!! then the Army patch dog tee will make your dog “Army Strong”.  With this tee, your dog will not only take land, but hold it too.   

If your dog barks “Air Power” you need to get him/her a fashionable Air Force Patch dog tee.   Your zoomie dog will be at the head of the flight line.

Finally, if your dog supports the Navy, accelerate their life with this  sharp looking Navy patch dog tee.  Still smarting from their 34-0 Army Navy game win, their is no better time to strut their Navy colors.

Dogs With Attitude! Stylish Clothing For Dogs that “BITE”

"Scout" Chihuahua/Shih Tzu mix

Scout, a Chihuahua/ Shih Tzu mix, certainly seems tame, but get too close and he’s going to bite!  At least thats what his wifebeater style ribbed dog tank says.   We at handsnpaws love a little attitude and we have a wide selection of tees, hoodies and tanks that “Bite”.  Here are some of our favorites;

•  I only bite when ugly people pet me Tank.
• Beware I Bite Buffy Day Dress 
• Pink Bite Me Turtleneck

These shirts are perfect for the dog who needs to tell everyone at the dog park to back off!   Does anyone know a good dog bite lawyer?

Finding Clothes for Bulldogs and other hard to fit breeds

Track Suit for Bulldogs

My friend Rob was complaining the other day about how hard it was to find clothes for his beautiful English Bulldog “Maybeline”.   While it is difficult, its not imposssible.  At pawstogo.com we feature an entire line of clothing  to help broad chested dogs look their best.   The Bulldog Clothing page includes track suits, hoddies, tees, sweaters and jackets, all specially designed for Bulldogs.   On the checkout page for each item, we feature a helpful sizing chart.

How to Measure
Chest : Measure the thickest part of chest. (Usually behind the two legs).
Neck : The Girth of Necklace.
Length : Make sure your dog is standing properly, not sitting, or laying down. Measure from along the dog’s backbone from the base of the neck to 5 Cm front of base of tail.
