Product Review: Dog in the Closet Denim Dog Harness
Clothing harnesses really weren't all that until a few years ago, when they hit with a vengeance and suddenly it seemed like every clothing designer out there was designing at least one clothing harness.(For the uninitiated, a clothing harness means something pretty that's also functional - a way to avoid wearing a jacket and collar, [...]
Product Review: The Swiss Army Knife of Dog Carriers
Confession: Merry is the first dog I've ever had in my life. So how was I to know that buying the standard grey plastic carrier with wire door was the height of tacky, not to mention awkwardness? Obviously, such a carrier is not trendy enough for the princess pug, so we were both really impressed [...]
Product Review: Dog Jean Jacket
The princess pug, living in the wild and wooly wilderness of downtown Toronto, is definitely an urban girl. Sure, fancy clothes and pearls are all good and fun, but the reality is that every urban girl needs dark clothing and lots of denim to make it in The Big City. Dark clothing and denim just [...]
Product Review: Grosgrain Ribbon Dog Collars & Leashes
Okay, we'll admit it: we're suckers for the Hamptons look. Cool cottons, pastels with grosgrains, and oh, how the chocolate brown has been showing up everywhere this year. Is it just us? Seems like every home decor catalog we get lately has something on this theme. And we're just crazy for the yumminess of this [...]
Product Review: Dog Bone Friendship Bracelet
Pampered Puppy has been a part of my life for almost eight years now (! I know!) and in that time I've watched the princess get bling set after bling set, rhinestone after rhinestone, glitz and glam after... well, you get the idea. But I ask you, where's the love? Where's my elegant goodies? How [...]

It may be the longest, gushiest Merryvaluation dog product review you've ever read. Because when I fall in love, I don't do it halfway. Heck, I rarely [...]
Product Review: Wool Pea Coats for Dogs
We love pea coats. We've always loved pea coats. Is it because we live closer to the east than the west? We do know that pea coats bring to mind cold sea breezes, thick wavy hair, fisherman sweaters and ruddy cheeks.Not that you'd ever catch the princess anywhere near a fishing boat. Unless there was [...]
Product Review: Airplane Dog Bed and Travel Toys
Ah, the life of a jet-set pup. Summers in the Hamptons. Paris in the Spring. Catching the shows in Milan and Prague. The holidays in Vermont. It's just a whirlwind of travel, darling. Exhausting, really. You know how it is.Or maybe you don't? Not every pet can enjoy life flying the friendly skies all the [...]
Product Review: Ribbon Dog Collar Collection
As much as the little diva and I both love the pink and frilly, the reality is we live in a large metro area, and the urban esthetic influences our styles from season to season. You just can't live in a big city and get away with having a solely frilly esthetic.It's all about balance.The [...]
Product Review: Winter Dog Coat & Hat
I first heard about Pug Snuggly by Yogi and their fabulous, pug-centric coats many years ago when we reviewed three of their coats. I fell in love then, and the princess has frankly continued to show off these coats for years.So when the designer behind the Pug Snuggly called me up and asked to send [...]
