Dsquared doggie couture on YOOX.com, and free shipping

Not a sale, but as someone obsessed with designer pet goods, I wanted to pass this along! (My dog has a pink check Burberry collar and leash which is ADORABLE, and my cats are kitted out with Prada collars, so I can say I definitely support such capriciousness!). Check out the very edgy Dsquared dog collars which are currently only available on YOOX.

Oh, and their sale is still at 30% off, but shipping is now free :)

Christofle pet charity event

Westin Heavenly anniversary sale

Even before Westin started selling their Heavenly Collection, I had to have it. I tracked down their pet bed maker to Dallas and bought one directly from her before she became exclusive to Westin. (My cat insisted). It is awesome, and I guarantee your dog/cat will love it! Although ours needs replacing, the white fabric is a bit terrifying for me. I wish it was a darker color!

Right now during the Heavenly Annivesary Sale, take 25% off everything at their online store, including the very innovative (at the time) curved shower rod and double-shower heads and all that delicious down bedding. Ends Monday, Sep 7.

Kwigy-bo sale report

I missed the last Kwigy-bo sale, so I had to go to this one! My dog, my puff puff Keeshond, is fairly sizable and has absolutely no need of sweaters, but I went in search for some sweaters for the cats and presents for my friends' dogs. Imagine a room of boxes of various sized mini sweaters, t-shirts, and coats, a stack of dog beds on a table, and carriers around the room. Add to that 6 women clucking and fretting: Will this fit? But my dachsund is so long! Should I get this for my daughter's pug?

All apparel (for both boys and girls) was $5! A steal if you consider prices for clothing can range from $7 at Target to $60 for a retail Kwigy-Bo sweater. Carriers were priced up to $45, and there were a few small dog beds too. Below are some of the things I saw. I got my new kitten the teddy-bear sweater with ears-- how cute is that!? A great sale, and no pushing, shoving, or nudity involved.

Kwigy-bo fall sample sale

Your eagle eyes and keen intellect will have by now discerned that I have a dog! My darling girl. She's so spoiled with her Burberry accessories and lush beds (I even made one myself out of Serta memory foam). Nothing but the best, so I'm particularly excited about Kwigy-bo's bi-annual sample sale. Not for her, because the cutesy teeny stuff wouldn't fit her (she's big boned, you see), but those with the itsy bitsies can shop carriers, sweaters, doggy tees, and one-of-a-kind samples. Sample sale prices range from $5-$40. Kwigy-bo products are sold in fine retailers worldwide such as Harrods, Saks Fifth Avenue, and Doggystyle NYC.

George summer sale: 20% off

For my posh little pets, only the best will do.  While I do believe that George SF has lost some luster over the years, (where did the leather collars and travel bedroll go?) their cute little food bowls and durable pet mattresses are just awesome.  If you need to pick up some basics, do it now while their summer sale is going on-- all orders placed up to Sept. 21st will automatically be discounted 20%.

Mascot doggy stuff

Today in my Daily Candy Deals email, I saw that Mascot, a nautically-inspired line of preppy doggy accessories, is having a special 25% off for Daily Candy readers. My memory is pretty good, and lo and behold, if you are in the market for a new collar and lead set by Mascot, RedEnvelope has the Sailors Knot collar and lead for only $19.99 each (even with the 25% discount, the prices would be $28.50 and $31.50, respectively). You also get free shipping for orders over $75. My value-add to you? If you have an American Airlines AAdvantage number, shop through the AAdvantage eShopping site and earn miles on your online purchases! They seem to have the widest selection of online retailers of the airline shopping networks.

They are quite cute, and I believe all colors are available.
