Just as a light stick on a cord makes trick-or-treating children more visible at night, a disposable, inexpensive light stick taped to a dog’s collar, harness or costume makes your dog visible to passing cars as he walks beside you.
The sun will set at roughly 6 p.m. on October 31, 2009. Even though Halloween will coincide with a bright full moon, cloud cover or even tall buildings and trees could make the roadway dark. Protect your costumed doggy by making him glow as he parades about. Helen Fazio and her dog Raja are world travelers. Click here to visit their blog, and click here to follow them on Twitter. |

Many dogs do therapy work do it in stylish clothing. Seriously.
While some therapy dog organizations provide a logo sash or vest, many do not. Owners who escort therapy dogs on their rounds to hospitals, nursing homes and school reading programs report that wearing a cute tee shirt, vest or doggie dress helps the canine therapist leap the gap toward people who may feel unconfident or distressed. Clothing makes the therapy dog seem more empathetic and approachable. Helen Fazio and her dog Raja are world travelers. Click here to visit their blog, click here to follow them on Twitter. |

Most of the sled dogs race in boots. But what about the urban dogs who walk in slush and mush, the trail dogs who walk on rocks and grit, the Shih Tzus with feet like brooms and the Min Pins with tiny delicate feet?
Yes, all dogs might need boots. Boots – functional and well-fitted – can protect the pads and save the paws. (Never use boots in heat as dogs need to sweat through their pads.) Helen Fazio and her dog Raja are world travelers. Click here to visit their blog, click here to follow them on Twitter. |

Dogs have fur don’t they? Yes, but not all fur is created for keeping warm in sustained winter cold. Huskies and Eskimo dogs have special fur that traps warm air. They frolic happily in the coldest weather. Other dogs that do not have this insulation – slim dogs, small dogs, puppies and older dogs can get cold in winter. A few stylish, well-fitting coats and sweaters make getting out and about more comfortable and sustain good winter health for many dogs.

Girls can wear longer cut sweaters and tee shirts, but boys will not be comfortable unless their sweaters and tees are cut up on the tummy to mid chest. Many manufacturers pay attention to this distinction, but many do not. When you shop, you’ll have to consider gender, or Brandon will end up wet, cold and embarrassed after his walk while Brandy is styling pretty in her well cut clothes.
