Polly From Underdog

Incase you were wondering Polly from the Disney movie underdog is a Cavalier! She is one of the first cavaliers to appear on screen, this deffenitly shows the Cavaliers gaining popularity! Congrats Polly!

Doggie Bags

Ever see a little Cavalier or Yorkie Sticking its head out from a bag? Almost everyone who has a toy dog, such as a cavalier owns one! A lot of people are worried about there dog jumping out or not liking the bag, but many small dogs enjoy the safety of the bag and many come with leashes inside to clip your dog to. Its such a cute and fun way to carry around your BFF!

Doggie Style 101

So you walk into the pet store, only to find dozens and dozens of pet clothes. A few years ago doggie clothes were unheard off, now every toy dog is sporting the lastest look. If your not keen over this idea of dogs wearing clothes rember that some outsits are stylish, but also serve a purpose. If your new to the world of dogs you cant go wrong with a cute sundress or sweater as shown below.

Wellness Food

So what is the best food for your cavalier? The answer is simple Wellness puppy, senior, and adult food. Everything is all natural and human grade food! So its very healthy. Each kind is made for the age or size of your dog

Chilly

Its been freezing lately uh? Well what can you do for your little pup? First off trim the fur between her paws. It well keep her from getting frostbite and ice melt getting stuck to them. Throw a towel in the drier and put it in her crate before she goes to bed at night. The best thing though, is buy her a nice warm coat. When shopping for one forget about style the most important thing is warmth.

I found this coat on dog.com its lined which makes it nice and warm.

The link for this coat is http://www.dog.com/ItemDetail.aspx?ItemNo=420355%20SM
