Ten Ways to Spoil Your Dog--Without Spending a Fortune

Offers love unconditionally. Never speaks badly of you. Always makes you smile.

Who do you think of when you read these words? If you are like many dog owners, the first image that comes to mind is of your dog.

Our dogs give us pleasure and companionship every day. They often show us a love and loyalty unrivaled by what we receive from other people. So, don't you think it's time to show the canine in your life just how special he or she is to you?
 

Now, I'm not suggesting that you go to the extremes of many celebrity dog owners. Indulging your pet doesn't have to be expensive. Here are ten ways to spoil your dog without sending you to the poorhouse.

1. John Paul Pet Grooming Products
Why not pamper your pet with salon products from a reputable name in beauty supplies? These grooming products are created by the co-founder of Paul Mitchell. They offer high end products without the price tag of a fancy salon. Among the items are various shampoos, conditioners, detanglers, pet and ear wipes, and tooth and gum wipes. These products range between $10-15.

2. Collar Charm
Give your dog a little bling! What better way to show your love for your dog than with a Sweetheart Charm or Bling Bone Charm from CoolPetStuff.com. These charms give your dog a little bit of glitz without a big cost. The prices ranged between $10-13.

3. Dog Boots
Add a touch of style and protect your precious pooch's feet from the elements with a set of cute boots. Your dog's feet are vulnerable to many surfaces, whether it is hot pavement, ice, or rocks. These boots will also keep your dog's paws clean and dry. Just think, no more muddy paw prints! Dog boots are available in many different colors, styles, and sizes. CoolPetStuff.com offers boot sets for XXXSmall all the way up to XXLarge. These sets cost from $18.95-29.95.

Great ideas. I will definately try the cooling collar for summer.

My $0.02 is that if you want to treat your dog, get them something that they'd enjoy. Some of your ideas are great in that regard, such as a comfy pad to sleep on, or dog treats. Others, like the charm for their collar seem more for the dog-owner. The dog would probably be oblivious to it. Fun topic though, and well written.

The pet cooling collar sounds great. Living in Florida it gets extremely hot in the summer and my little girl doesn't like staying outside very long. I may pick one up for her and see how she likes it. Excellent ideas.

Great suggestions, many I'd never heard of. Yes,our pets are another member of the family.

I might have to get Murray one of those cooling collars. He has a tough time during the summer, especially if his hair is a little long (he's a Puganese).
