Just taken delivery of these harnesses for a puppy or little dog from Urban Pup - they are gorgeous and beautifully made. 

I just love the idea they have come up with of these complete harness sets with a matching lead and even a little cap, for puppies and tiny dogs to walk out in style without pulling on their delicate little necks. Aw!

There's one for the little boys, a camoflague harness set with netting

And a unisex harness set in traditional tartan which looks very warm and cosy

Did you know you can now get tutus and bikinis for dogs?

There was a time when pets didn't really have accessories.  I was brought up on a farm with 2 dogs and 3 cats. The only thing the cats possessed was a sunny window cill to sleep on in the day and the dogs had a collar  - just a plain kind of collar and no ID tag (well, there was no need as everyone knew Lolly and Candy in the village)

I have been totally flabbergasted at the immense range of pet accessories now available - it's a whole new world which I didn't even know existed until coming into this business a month or so ago. So this old fogey (aka puppy grandma) has had to rethink everything dog and cat related.

Over the coming months I will be sharing with you my thoughts on everything from dog coats to comfy cradles for cats and I have to admit I have surprised myself by becoming very fond of some of these pet accessories:-) Some make perfect sense from a safety point of view or for additional pet comfort and some are pure luxuries (and why not!) for our canine and feline family members.

Take this cat cradle for a radiator. I said our cats would sleep on a sunny window cill. How many homes have window cills wide enough to sit a cat? But most have radiators - the next best thing, haha!

And I mentioned dog coats earlier - little dogs get cold easily as can old or sick dogs - why not give them a bit of comfort for their walkies - something to keep them warm and dry in our British weather, just as we would our human family members?
