T-Shirts for Dogs Showcase Your Pet's Personality

Fido and Rover move over - make way for Max and Rocky, which

topped the list as the most popular dog names chosen by dog

owners in New York City. According to the New York City

Department of Health and Mental Health, Princess, Lucky, Lady,

Buddy, Daisy, Ginger, Buster, and Sandy rounded out the top-ten

list.

It's certain that Max, Ginger, and their pals will be well taken

care of and pampered. Americans spend $34 billion each year on

their pets, and the pet business is seeing an annual growth rate

of six percent a year. Increasingly, pet owners are indulging

their dogs as they would their children. From doggy day care to

birthday "pawtys," from fancy dog collars to T-shirts for dogs,

man's (and woman's) best friend is reaping the rewards of his or

her loyalty and unconditional love.

This season, bling is the thing for uptown dogs. Crystal dog

accessories, such as hair clips, dog necklaces, fancy dog

collars and leashes, come in a variety of colors and styles. And

anything pink gets a bark of approval from the top dog in the

house. Pink dog clothes, pink dog accessories, pink bedding,

pink fancy dog collars, and pink T-shirts for dogs keep puppies

panting with enthusiasm.

While dog clothes and dog sweaters are still popular, T-shirts

for dogs are all the rage. Not only do dog T-shirts keep pooches

comfortable in a wide range of temperatures, but T-shirts for

dogs make a fashion statement for both the pet and his or her

owner. Dogs whose tastes run to designer duds can sport T-shirts

for dogs that say, "Canine Kline," "Tommy Dog," and "Liz

Claibone." Urban dogs may go for dog T-shirts that proclaim,

"Badda-Bing," while preppie dogs stick with the classic polo, of

course! T-shirts for dogs that want to show off their sporty

side include those that say, "Air Dog," and have that telltale

(or "tell-tail") swoosh, "Mighty Dog Gym," and "Bark Beach."

Dog T-shirts and dog sweaters can help keep a pet warm during

the cool fall and cold winter weather. But dressing a dog warmly

is only one element to keeping this member of the family safe.

lose his scent and become lost.
