In Vogue For the Holidays?

Nov 28, 2012 | 1:31 PM

Is your pet in vogue for the holidays? There are now celebrity-like fashions for pets. Pets are traveling to Grandma's house for Christmas in first class, stylish bags. But you don't have to be a celebrity to be pet trendy this holiday season. Petland offers designer carrying totes, cuddly clothing and footwear, car seats and safety harnesses, and so much more for the pets in your life this holiday season. Celebrities like Paris Hilton and her Chihuahua, Tinkerbell, have really been an influence in the last few years. People are splurging on their pets, keeping them in fashion and caring for them as if they were babies.

Christmas is the perfect time to spoil that special pet in your life with some fashionable gifts. One of the most popular pet trends is the purchasing of stylish safe pet carriers, designer doggie strollers, carrying totes, and car seats. Petland carries the soft-sided, airline-approved, travel bags and designer-brand pet totes that come in a variety of trendy looks, including pink and blue plaids as well as solid colors. Small animals even have great accessories and carriers, perfect for the child who wants to take her hamster to her aunt's for Christmas or to school for show-and-tell. It has a dual role as a cute accessory and safe pet carrier.

Before leaving home, more and more pet owners are dressing their precious pets for the occasion or for the muzzle-nipping weather. Petland offers stylish clothing for pets including sweaters and coats available in different materials such as fleece and weather-proof. Boots, two pairs per pet of course, are popular as well. Or try a Santa hat or reindeer ears on for size, or maybe a jingle bell collar.

If your pooch or pet is more of a homebody, there is plenty of pampering to be done there, too. Designer pet beds at Petland are both comfortable for the pet and will complement any home décor. In addition to designer beds, check out designer pet dishes and treat containers. Our feathered friends and small animals may also be looking for a little pampering at holiday time and could move in to the latest cages that look like pagodas and real houses.

There really has been no area of the pet market left untouched by the fashion trend because people want their pets to be in style. Pet owners want their pets' accessories to make a statement about them. Cats like upscale nutritional treats and a few of Petland's favorites include Gourmet Kitty and Feline Greenies by Nutro Products. Or maybe an edible kitty grass?

Gift cards for the finicky pet are a great idea to bring a different kind of excitement to the holiday. These gifts aren't just great to give to your pet, but also great to give to passionate pet owners in your family. Gift cards are also available at Petland for those who want to leave the fun of choosing to the pet owner.
