Our Favorite Things: Dog Fashion

One of my friends called me out the other day after I wrote this post about our pooches' collars. My friend couldn't understand why we are so willing to dress our pooches in tutus, angel wings, and even frog costumes, while we could much more easily just change their collars around, like normal people.
Especially since American Dog Shopper alerted us to The Rubit which is an easy way to switch out their numerous dog tags so they can easily change collars.
So, I started paying more attention to collars. And I realized, a lot of the collar companies just so happen to donate a portion of their proceeds to support animal rescues. I had first learned about Sirius Republic dog collars when worn by the fashionable Darwin; the colors on this collar are just so striking.

Besides offering an array of beautiful, well-crafted collars, Sirius Republic also donates 20% of their collar proceeds to various Rescue Partners. I like how they have fashionable martingale colors, which are often so hard to find.
We also happened upon Silly Buddy, local to Chicago, who uses their beyond adorable pooch Buddy as a collar model:

 

We were particularly smitten with their bowties, and we're loving their tartan collars --even available in hot pink! They also work to donate a portion of proceeds to the local shelter.

And as we've been hoping for spring weather, we have also been drawn to Pecan Pie Puppies array of  custom flower collars.

The sales of collars help support their animal rescue work. They foster while also having 4 dogs of their own. We also love that one of their pooches is a Mr. B look-alike.

So we might be switching the pooches' collars out as the occasion calls for it, but we're still keeping true to their original collars.
