An entire industry has been born out of the popularity of small dogs and their owner’s interest in dressing them and making them sparkle. Dog collars have only been a functional necessity for many years. The only decision for style was if it was an everyday collar or training collar and what color it was. That is definitely a thing of the past with the introduction of today’s modern styles, materials, and colors.

Rhinestones are the hottest new trend to find themselves on almost everything for your furry little friend. Several manufacturers are designing collars with varying patterns and colors of sparkling rhinestones. Multi colored and solid colored stones are added in patterns and rows to create a piece of jewelery. There are also jewelery charms that can be attached to the front of the collars to make a fancy statement.

Velvet collars are also a new trend, which can stand alone or be coordinated with rhinestones. They come in a variety of colors and can even be fitted for larger dogs. Charms are also popular on these shiny bands. The soft texture of these collars are a real contrast to the collars used for training purposes, which require chains.

Clothing for dogs were, in past years limited to sweaters. Nowadays, the world has been opened to as many choices for dogs as for dolls. Dresses, jackets, socks, hats and of course, sweaters. Even rubber coats, hats and galoshes for their feet are a possibility for dogs in inclement, wet weather. There are dog owners who wear matching clothing with their dogs.

Even what you put your dog’s food in has become flashy. The rhinestone theme is not subject to just fabric. We are now seeing the dog bowls for food and water containing rhinestone decorations. These are also for large and small breeds and they just may be that perfect accessory to your dog’s sparkling style you have been looking for.

To finish the whole look, a must have is a rhinestone leash. These are available to match the rhinestone collars as mentioned above. They are made in a wide selection of colors and lengths. Choose between matching and contrasting styles for the full effect.
