Adventure Dog Blog

I just had to share a link with you guys to an Etsy item I found tonight. I have featured this person’s work before. She makes beautiful felt likenesses of people’s dogs for them. Now, I’ve found that she is felting keychains!

Check it out!

In my city, there is a wonderful group of pug owners that get together once a month so that their pugs can play. The woman that runs the group is fantastic, often ensuring that there are door prizes and goodie bags on all special occasions.

Recently, she started a new business, The Pawhaus Boutique. I’m writing about her here because I think she provides some very high quality products and a really awesome service. On her website, you can order dog/puppy packs or kitten/cat packs that contain all kinds of great items for the pet owner in your life. They make great gifts, with packs like the Birthday Celebration Pack, Baby Makes 4 Pack, Spa Packs, and even a Dog Sympathy Pack.

I have seen some of the products that go into the packs in person and they are top notch goods that you aren’t going to find in your local dog department store. These packs are unique, and you can make them even more so if you’d like by creating a custom pack.

Please visit our friends at The Pawhaus Boutique and have a look at their great pet packs.

Since I am quite tattooed and my tastes lean towards the alternative, I’m always on the lookout for something punkrock for my dogs. One Halloween, I even dressed Anna up as a punkrocker. I gave her a very tiny green mowhawk, put an army green shirt on her, and a studded belt. She looked SO funny! Besides that, I haven’t ever found much in the way of accessories or dog products that ran to my tastes.

Recently, I stumbled across a site called Punk Rock Dogg where they actually have punk rock dog products. I think what I liked the most are their aged pewter dog tags that say “Lucky Pup” and feature pictures in the center like the Buddha, a cowboy, flames, vintage ladies, etc. You can see them in the image I’ve put above.

Since Christmas is coming soon, I thought it makes sense to start posting about the various products I’ve found online for dogs.

When shopping for dogs online, I’ve found there are a lot of junk websites and it is very hard to find quality products. The search engines are filled with cookie-cutter sites offering the same poorly made toys.

I was pretty excited when I found a website called WoufPoof. They make quality leather products for dogs, including dog beds, jackets, collars and leashes. I laughed out loud when I saw this bone shaped dog bed. It looks fantastic!

You can click on the image, or click here if you’d like to see Wouf Poof for yourself.

It’s highly likely that you’ve already seen the following site, but if you haven’t, man you’re in for a treat.

I LOVE my pug, and in searching for information on pugs, I discovered Obey the Pure Breed, a website that has really unique designs for all kinds of products, from t-shirts and posters to bumper sticks and baby onsies. They have images/designs of ALL different kinds of dog breeds and all of them are really unique. And this is not your usual product. This is “propaganda for canine world domaination”!

I think what I really liked was that their designs featuring pugs really capture the true character of a pug. I’ve seen so many people try to draw a pug or design an image, and they just can’t get the wrinkles right or the squashed face to look natural.

Look at that face, isn’t he hilarious:

I think this site has a lot of stuff that would make good stocking stuffers for friends and presents for the people in your life with dogs. I think my little Chublet would look hilarious in one of their pug shirts, and trust me, he’s going to take over the world. Soon. Just not yet.

Take a peek, these dogs are hilarious.

This could be the ultimate Christmas gift for any dog owner you know. I’m thinking this might even be a good gift to myself.

On Etsy.com I found AmeliaMakesArt, who can make a little dog of needled felt, all in the likeness of your dog.

There are other examples on this page and she says that from time to time she offers these needle felted dogs for sale in her shop to anyone that wants one. She explains that if you want yours made to look like your dog, you will need to send her a bunch of photos. You can also just specify which breed you’d like her to felt.

I think these looked so cute, I just had to post about them. Click here to visit AmeliaMakesArt’s page on Etsy.
