Designer Meirav Barzilay has come up with a fantastic chew toy concept! A dog toy that is filled with strips of cloth for easy clean up plus treats and a squeaky toy. The Biters keep it clean by sidestepping the usual stuffing that litters your house once your pooch chews their way into the toy. Each of the Biters toys are an original character design by Barzillay and are pretty cool on their own. But once your pup gets to chewing that is when the fun really begins! Inside of each Biter is a cartoonish squeaky toy shaped like an bodily organ as well as a tasty treat. So now you can feel free to indulge your dog’s natural instinct to pull apart their toys and see what is inside. The Biters are available directly from the designer and they are also available in a few shops in Europe.
If you follow the dog costume scene like we do – you probably saw “Bones” the dog dressed as a Star Wars At-At (see below) making the viral rounds. Well it looks like that viral fame has paid off big time for Bones!
UPDATE: It is NOT Bones Mello the virally famous At-At costume dog! According to this post on Bones Mello’s Facebook page – this video is the first time they heard about this. FOR SHAME VW STEALING BONES PUPSTYLE!
With an awesome cameo appearance in Volkswagon’s primetime Super Bowl ad for 2012. A chorus of various pups starts off barking the “Imperial March (Emperor’s Theme)” from Star Wars. Be sure to keep an eye out for Bones as “the At-At”, an Ewok, a Wookie and other dog costumed characters. Hillarious! More info about the VW SuperBowl ads here.
A very pretty collar design from Coach – who deviates from their “tried and true” signature “C” print fabric to go a bit more fashion forward. A lovely pastel pink leather collar with a strip of metallic gold leather combines to make a surefire statement neck-piece. Plus the bonus metallic gold leather bow with a hanging heart charm makes for a perfect “pretty dog” style. Available from Coach online the Metallic dog collar with heart charm has just recently been added to their line and looks to be selling out soon!
This tasty looking Gum Bear Dog Toy from Mungo & Maud looks good enough to eat! A solid rubber chew toy in a refined minimal shape, measuring 6 ⅓ inches tall it makes for a great medium to big dog chewy (unless you’ve got a small dog who thinks really big!). Available from the Mungo & Maud site the Gum Bear Dog Toy costs £18.50 (±29USD).
Have you seen the PupStyle Flickr group lately? It is so chock full of dressed up doggie goodness you are going to bug out!
You can’t help but watch Dara Foster with her many national TV appearances – but now it is Official!
Pet Product News International has named Dara Foster as one of the Top 25 to watch in 2012. This list is made up of the leaders of the pet industry. Dara invented herself as a pet fashion tastemaker over 10 years ago and is the leader of the pet style movement. She is one of the most influential people in the pet industry.
Thanks to the runaway popularity of her first book Now You See It: PupStyle published by Scholastic Books with sales of over 250,000 and counting Dara has become a internationally known pet style celebrity. Now in 2012 with the PupStyle by Dara Foster pet product line coming this Spring to nation-wide retailers (such as Bed, Bath & Beyond) as well as another children’s book coming out on Scholastic titled Now You See It: PupStyle Trick or Treat there will be plenty to watch in 2012. We are all super proud of Dara and her mission to “PupStyle America!” and with the pet industry sitting up and taking notice it looks like we are in for another year of watching her climb to new heights!
When I started PupStyle.com almost 10 years ago, my dream was to one day see pet fashion on the first floor of every major department store across America. Well this holiday season Marshalls, TJ Maxx and Home Goods are three major off-price retailers leading the charge! Just in my own holiday shopping travels I have noticed that they have expanded their pet aisles into a robust collection. I was astonished to learn that these stores receive over 10,000 new pet products a week! Now with national retailers carrying a wide selection of pet fashions and designs at insanely affordable prices the “PupStyling” of America can begin!
I found this really cute dog holiday dog sweater and scarf at Marshalls for $9.99! I love the lime green color mixed in with the traditional red and green to give it a modern twist. You know I am always a sucker for dog scarfs too!
