Fashionable Accessories for Your Pet in spring 2020

When we think of pet accessories the first thing that comes to our mind is probably collar and leash, however, there are so many useful accessories that can be of great help not only to pets in their everyday life but also to pet owners as well. From getting to choose the right food and water bowls, to making a comfy resting place for your pet, there are various accessories that can make life with your pet more fulfilling.

Cats and dogs are very famous for having their favorite spot or even a couple of different spots sometimes. One of the very useful accessories is a bed pillow. Placing it on their favorite spot is a very effective way of providing a good, and probably, a favorite resting place for pets. When purchasing bed pillows for your pet, one of the first things you should watch is the material. Is it washable? Can it be detached for washing or does it emit or absorb heat? These are all factors which will make life both for you and your pets easier and also you can save some budget.

Like humans, pets also need some recreational activity and entertainment. Chew toys are a very good choice, because not only it keeps your pet active and entertained, it can also help them form a good jaw and jaw strength. This is the so-called famous chew and bite phase for every dog owner. By chewing, animals form and strengthen their jaw from puppy to adult stage and nowadays toys can certainly help them to form and develop their body properly. Speaking of collars, there are many great looking collars, but if we are looking for good collars for spring, the first thing we should consider, once again, is material. It has to be both cold and rain resistant.

A chain collar is something that should be avoided during this season, especially cause of the rain and moisture. As a material, it gets cold real quick, especially when it gets wet. Although leather by itself is not water-resistant, there are many ways nowadays to make it almost fully water-resistant and naturally, most of the pet collars are not only resistant but also very comfortable. You should always check the label before purchasing, but leather is definitely a better choice for spring. If it is less rainy, then cotton is also a very good choice and it gives more fashion options as well.

One of the best things that you can afford for your pets is good protection from insects in the form of a collar. They have developed greatly in the past few years. Not only most of them are quite water-resistant, which is very important in rainy spring, but they also give necessary protection against insects and all the diseases they carry. Spring is famous as a period of rebirth. From famous hearth-worm to ticks, combining your collar with good protection is a must in order to avoid harmful consequences and unfortunately sometimes even deadly.

Naturally, spring is also a season in which grooming becomes a necessity for pets. In order to decide what type of comb to buy, first, we need to check what type of hair our pets have. There is usually both picture and description included on the label of the product which can give us a good direction. However, the comb is not the only accessory that can be used in this situation. For grooming, some additional tools can also be quite helpful and functional. Tools such as a low dryer, conditioning spray, and shampoo. There are also nail clippers and scissors made for pets.

Aside from functionality, the most interesting part when it comes to dressing your pet is making them more fashionable. Spring is a season in which everything wakes up and what better way to match it than with some bright colors. From floral collars to floral hoodies and sweaters. Looking for something to match with your pet on rainy days? How about a transparent raincoat in a combination with a transparent umbrella? Or perhaps tiny yellow raincoats with some leather identification tags? Leather jackets can also easily transform into matching clothing with their owners.

Early spring can still be cold, which gives a perfect opportunity to dress up your pet in some lovely bandanas or even tiny scarfs. There are also pet bags that give you the opportunity to wear them on your back which can also provide some additional warmth protection from cold and winds. When it comes to jewelry, first we need to check with the vet if a pet has any allergies to certain materials. Shinny materials tend to attract pets to bite, chew and scratch, making it unusable after some time. Make sure to check if it is harmful to your pet in case of incidental swallow of jewelry, however, jewelry, in general, is something that is better to be avoided, especially for first-timers.

Some owners even go for slippers and shoes, however, this is not recommended for first-time pet owners, because it requires additional training and it can be quite challenging. Choosing accessories for your pets should first and foremost be comfortable for them and if you are not experienced enough, it can become quite stressful for pets. It requires a constant effort of slowly building habits and trust. It is a very rewarding experience in the long term and once pets are accustomed to it, then we can focus on fashion choices and creativity.

Dressing your pet and adding accessories can be a fun, rewarding and enjoyable experience, however before choosing your accessory always think of their functionality and their material first. Always question how it can improve your pets’ everyday lifestyle. If it is functional, aside from being fashionable, then it is definitely worth buying it.
