How to Buy Bling for a Dog

Dogs aren't just pets anymore. Ask any dog lover and she will tell you that her dog is a member of the family. If you sport a lot of bling, your dog should too--it's only fair. Today's dogs are well dressed with designer collars, jewelry and clothing. Follow these steps if you want to buy bling for your dog.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Locate a store online or in your neighborhood that specializes in dog bling. Quality is very important; loose rhinestones and poor quality products could pose a hazard to your dog.
2. Bring your dog to the store if possible so he can try on the collars and necklaces to find the right size. If you are unable to bring your dog, take his measurements so you know the proper size. Select colors that coordinate with the color of your dog's fur.
3. Complete the look with dog boots and clothing. Clothing protects your pampered pet from the elements and allows your dog to express himself.
4. Buy identification tags. Every collar your dog wears should have a tag. Your dog can't tell people where he lives, so you must ensure he has a way to get home if he gets lost. Tags come in a variety of materials and styles--you can even find real gold and sterling silver identification tags for your furry friend. Make the tag part of the bling ensemble.
5. Groom your dog often to keep him looking his best. If you have a long- haired dog, put his hair in a clip that matches his collar so his bling is coordinated.
