Fall Trends For The Pampered Pooch

One of the most welcomed seasons of the year has arrived!  Fall is truly a favorite season for many people. The cooler temperatures are certainly a pleasant reprieve from the heat of summer.  And of course the glorious colors of fall are something everyone can appreciate! Fall also marks the beginning of Football Season!

With the change in season also comes new fun fashion and accessories for your favorite fur babies!  From  soft and cuddly dog sweaters to warm and comfortable dog hoodiesCabo Dog Boutique has all the hottest merchandise for the season!

Fashionable trends this year include Alpaca dresses, sweaters and Poncho's like the Happy Walks Alpaca Dog Dress made of Alpaca wool. Alpaca is a superb fiber with loads of shine and texture. This natural wool is sheared seasonally from native Andean herdsmen and is featherweight yet three times warmer than merino wool! Cabo Dog Boutique has several Alpaca fiber products including  Sleeveless Alpaca Dog Sweaters in a variety of color combinations, and the Day Dreamer Alpaca Dog Pancho.

Minky fabric is hot, hot, hot this season! Plush minky fur lays well and does not mat the fur of your pet. It is is incredibly silky soft and made for warmth and comfort. Cabo Dog Boutique carries a selection of Minky Lined Dog Coats such as the Black Suede Minky Dog Coat. With several color choices to choose from your sure to find a favorite.
Minky Dog Harnesses are another fabulous fall trend this season.  We especially love the Suede Minky Dog Harness in beige, so perfect for Fall!
Chevron patterns have been a fashion trend on and off for many years and have resurfaced this season in brilliant colors and fabrics. The Chevron Blue Dog Sweater is precious in blues, browns and black. Such a great style to lead you into winter. And for the girls Cabo Dog carries the Chevron Pink Dog Sweater. So bright and fun!
We absolutely love the new fall Dog Sweaters and Dog Hoodies with some personality such as the Angel Wings Dog Sweater or the Mohawk Dog Sweater.  By adding some whimsical pizzazz to a these quality Fair Isle Dog sweaters it makes them an all together fun trend in Designer Dog Sweaters this season. The Leopard Dog Hoodie is precious with the warm colors of fall and ears on the hood, it is sure to bring a smile to your face.
Fall also marks the beginning of rain and snow in most areas. Dog Booties are a great way to accessorize yet protect your pets paws from the cold. A fantastic new product just out this season are Thinsulate Dog Shoes. These Ultra Fur Protective booties are so awesome your pet can wear them all year long!

Duggs Shearling Dog Booties are truly a unique item as well. These snuggly Dog Booties are fully covered with Sherpa and Suede and have a thinsulate inner lining. Cabo Dog Boutique carries these functional and fashionable shoes in pink or tan!

Protective Eye Wear For Your Dog

Does your dog really need to wear sunglasses? That's a very good question! Dog eye wear has become very main stream these days and for good reason. Sure they look cute and lots of dogs actually enjoy wearing their sunglasses. But there are some real benefits that come from Doggles as well.

When riding in the car, dogs have a tendency to hang their head out the window. Whether it's to absorb the 10,000 plus scents that are passing as mock speed, or the joy of the wind in their ears, dogs simply LOVE it! Now imagine if you rode down the street, or highway, with your head out the window. Your precious eyes would take a beating dogs are no different. A small bug, rock of even dust can damage the eye and cause serious pain and irritation. Doggles sunglasses can be used for eye protection. Whether it's a ride in the car, convertible or the back of an ATV or motorcycle, eye protection is highly beneficial.

Dogs with existing eye conditions such as cataracts or Dry Eye (Keratoconjunctivitis Sicca) can benefit greatly from dog sunglasses. Using Doggles or K9 Optix for these dogs will allow them greater access to fun and participation in any outdoor activity. Don't limit the time these dogs can participate in fun outdoor time with their family.

Doggles are the Solution for Safety!

  • Eye protection from flying debris in a car, motorcycle or open air vehicle.
  • Protects from the glare of the sun and prevents damage from Ultra Violet Rays.
  • Aids in the protection for existing conditions like Cataracts or Dry Eye syndrome.
  • A fashionable and functional accessory for any dog that fit comfortably.
  • Allows your pet to participate in a multitude of outdoor sports such as boating, hiking and winter sports without the risk of eye damage.

Just like us, ultra violet rays can damage your dog's eyes if they spend a lot of time outdoors. The bright sunlight can also mean sunburn for eyes and pink noses and skin of white short-haired dogs like the Dalmatian, Staffordshire, and Boxer. "Doggles" are what you might guess (goggles for dogs) offer excellent eye protection for the sandy bright beach and for riding in open vehicles. Protective eye wear such as K9 Optix are a wonderful tool to avoid any harm to your dogs' eyes.

Hiking or mountain biking with your dog can mean low branches or other hazards. Sunglasses for dogs are useful for any season really. The winter glare from snow can cause blindness in dogs and humans. Summer activities such as boating or days are lots of fun, but blowing sand or small bits of debris, as well as the glare all add up to a lot of eye strain for your pup. All these activities can add up to quit a bit of eye strain and open your pet up to a number of eye issues or conditions over a lifetime.

Protective eye wear means they can be part of the fun without risking further damage, pain or irritation.

Doggles and K9 Optix come in a variety of sizes, colors and designs to fit any dog. Cabo Dog Boutique has the largest selection of Doggles and K9 Optix available. We also carry Sunscreen for dogs that are a great benefit for dogs of fair complexions and short haired breeds such as the Dalmatian, Staffordshire and Boxer.
