We’ve posted about Wildebeest’s pet rugs before, but they just released a brand new “new-and-improved” version along with more color options and sizes!

These new rugs feature sturdy canvas bases as well as a zip-closure, allowing you to stuff the rugs to suit your dog’s comfort level. They’re still hand-made from 100% fleece, of course, but now you can choose between six solid colors or four multi-color options. Awesome, right? They also put together this adorable promo video that I couldn’t help but share:

Punk, pugs, and fine silks? It’s a combination the cheeky folks at Age of Reason, a UK-based accessories brand, have created as part of their collection of playful scarves.

My favorite is the Penny Pug print, but the Anarchy Dog and God Save the Queen scarves are pretty fantastic! Which punk pug scarf would you rock?

I spent part of last week in NYC for the International Contemporary Furniture Fair (ICFF), which always proves to be a good time. I’m happy to report that I spotted a few doggy designs (posts coming soon!) and enough happy pups strutting their stuff to make my heart explode! The trip was chronicled on the Dog Milk Instagram account, of course, so check that out (and follow) for more; you can find us at dog_milk.

One of the highlights of this trip was meeting Jonathan Adler at the Kohler booth and hearing how much he loves Dog Milk. I don’t use the term “swoon” lightly, but I’m pretty sure I swooned. Also? He was the most adorable human being on the planet; I wanted to put him in my pocket and take him home, y’know??

Team Milk (Dog and Design) hit ICFF in full force this year. Jaime made a trip out to Studiomates headquarters and met Maude, their Boston Terrier mascot. What a cutie! You can also catch her recap of ICFF, with loads of photos and top design picks from this year, over on Design Milk.

Did any of you attend ICFF (or the National Stationery Show) this year? What was your favorite part/event/booth?

Gueeeesss what, guys?? It’s almost summertime! I’m beside myself with excitement. Summer means taking hikes, working in the garden, hitting the beach, chillin’ at the lake, and going camping… all, of course, with the pups! Molly Mutt is outfitting your pups for comfort this summer with their new Outside line of outdoor dog duvets, featuring the kind of fun-yet-sophisticated patterns we’ve come to expect from Molly. Designed to re-cover an old dog bed or be stuffed with old linens, the three duvets in the Outside line are water-resistant and durable for tougher outdoor use. They’re the perfect accessory to have on hand when summer adventures leave your dog played-out.

You can check out more specs and photos at Molly Mutt. What grand adventures do you have planned for yourself and your pup this summer?

I think some dogs look adorable in sweaters but, admittedly, I’ve never really felt the urge to put clothes on Wrigley. Except that one time my friend made him a sweater and I put it on him to see what would happen. He gave me the “look of death” and stood, frozen in place, for about 20 minutes. I thought he looked quite dapper, but it was obvious he thought it was some sort of punishment. Sad day.

So, let’s hear it. Do you dress up your dog? Do they love it or hate it? How extreme do their outfits get?

I’ve been eagerly awaiting the official launch of LeLePets, a discount/daily deal site for designer pet products, for some time and am happy to report that–as of this very moment–it is officially open for business! There are a handful of members-only shopping sites like this, but none dedicated solely to pet products (which is the only thing I ever buy anyway). Many of their products, including items we’ve featured here on Dog Milk, are up to 70% off. You really can’t beat that.

Check out LeLePets and sign up to see what goodies are on sale right now!
