TheUltimateGreenPet: If you are into green products, here are some great essentials to consider for your dog.

English Retreads Small Dog Collar in Blue & White Rhinestones is selling at $39.00.
The collar is made of rubber from reclaimed truck inner tubes, 100% vegan, and are available in any color you want—as long as it’s black! It comes in three sizes—small (13.5″ x W .75″), medium, and large. It is designed specifically for conscientious consumers and savvy fashionistas.

Earthbath. If I have to narrow down my choices of dog shampoo, Earthbath is one of my top 3. I can’t recommend highly enough on Earthbath grooming products, specifically their Oatmeal & Aloe Pet Shampoo is a must-have for my dogs. Most of the Earthbath shampoos are selling at $11.95 except for Oatmeal which is priced at $13.95. Overall, TheUltimateGreenStore are selling the Earthbath product line much cheaper than Amazon except for Oatmeal. At the time of writing this, Amazon is selling the Oatmeal & Aloe shampoo at $5.98. So catch this ridiculous price if you can, rarely such great deal come along.

NaturalVetBlends. Pretty new in the market, founded by a team of holistic veterinarians, so I have yet to test out their products. As far as support is concern, it’s quite efficient; they answered my queries within 36 hours. My only comment for now if they would list the quantity amount of each product (especially the chewables and wafers) somewhere on the page rather having to click on individual large image just to see the tiny print. Price wise, quite reasonable. Of course, you get better deal when you buy two as the third one is FREE. Here’s a thought, you might want to check if you could combine different item and get the third item of your choice for free (usually of the same price or lower). Currently, they have seven products, namely:

• Hip & Joint Chewables (75 tablets), $39.95 or Wafers (quantity unknown), $19.95.
• 2-in1 Shampoo (12 fl oz), $19.95.
• Sensitive Skin & Allergy Shampoo (12 fl oz), $19.95.
• Odour Eliminating Shampoo (12 fl oz), $19.95 (Pic left) Has got rave reviews, I might get one to try it out on my furry clients.
• Skin Coat & Joint Daily Dietary Supplement (8.45 fl.oz), $14.95.
• Ear Cleanser (3.78 fl oz); $14.95.

Just worked out a special deal with NaturalVetBlends, in addition to the 3 for the price of 2 deal there is a further 10% discount on all products (no minimum purchase required) . Code: SMALLDOGSPARADISE. (ain’t that obvious )

Stay tune for the second September’s pick. Meanwhile, please do remember to check out my pet coupon and exclusive coupon pages regularly for more discounts and deals.

Let me further explain this statement. There are a few bigger dog breeds, like Afghan Hound, Standard Poodle, Saluki, Dalmatian, and Whippet; might be able to wear jewelry dog collars elegantly as they tend to have the “softer” appearance.

Now try to image a Mastiff or Boxer wearing Faux Fur dog collars? See what I mean? Maybe a Faux Leather or Bling Bling dog collar. Fancy rhinestones, pearls and any costume jewelry for dogs are definitely over killed.

All dogs (big or small) know that they are often viewed by their owners as if they were children. Great care is taken, making sure that they are dressed appropriately for the weather and for social events.

Surveys show that 86% of dog owners admit in adoring their dogs with scarves or ribbons. 62% of the dog owners admit that their dog owns a sweater, winter coat or raincoat (some own all three).As for dress-up times, 23% of owners say that they own a fancy leash or collar with jewels, sparkles or fancy embroidery, while 6% of dog owners say that they have occasionally put other sort of jewelery on their dogs.

All I hope is that those dog owners don’t go overboard and do some piercing in any part of their dogs’ bodies. It doesn’t matter what the fashion statement is, it’s no fun if they catch some skin infection due to chemical allergy.

By the way, have you seen Ms Oprah Winfrey’s Black Cocker Spaniel wearing a pearl necklace? I can’t deny how gorgeous Sophie looked wearing it especially the contrast against her luscious black furry coat. Either way you look at it, they both accentuate their fine quality.

If a string of pearls necklace is too over the top or delicate or expensive for daily wear but can’t resist not having one for your dog , here is one cheap alternative—English Retreads Small Dog Collar in Blue & White Rhinestones. The collar, selling at $39.00, is made of rubber from reclaimed truck inner tubes, 100% vegan, and are available in any color you want—as long as it’s black! It comes in three sizes—small (13.5″ x W .75″), medium, and large. It is designed specifically for conscientious consumers and savvy fashionistas.

Can you imagine how hip your tiny pooch will look with personalized jewelry dog collars?

I’m not talking about any ordinary fancy dog collars but collars with rhinestones and/or customized dog names on them. With hip hop fashion getting so much attention lately, there are even bling bling dog collars just to match human accessories. Speaking of fashion statement, this will certainly have some heads spinning.

Isn’t it so cool to walk down the street with your dog wearing his very own customized jewelry dog collar?

Personalized Rhinestone Slide Letter Dog Collars, is one of my personal favorites when jewelry dog collars are concern. You get to pick the name, phrase, initials, or charms for your dog’s collar. So cute, so sparkly, so Hollywood! Of all the online pet stores that sell personalized rhinestone slide letter dog collar, GollyGear is the only store that offers very reasonable price with great selections. (Don’t forget to check out my coupon page for any on-going special deals.)

And if you want to tone down a little for daily day wear, try Sparkling Rhinestone Red Croco Dog Collar & Leash or Sand Bonded Sherpa Dog Collar (Soft sherpa lining on faux suede gives both pet and owner luxurious comfort. Nickel-plated hardware for long-lasting function) .

Doesn’t matter which category you choose from, they all make great gifts for dog lovers. You can’t go very wrong with this gift if you know the name of your friend’s dog and its size.
