Fancy Dog Collars -From Plaid to Bling

If you are at all like me, your dog is the prince or princess of your home (well, at least they think so) and what is any great royal without their accessories? For the preppy pup we have just the thing to impress all of their subjects and truly give the tabloids something to talk about. Of course no two are quite alike, you have tons of options to personalize your collar to fit your dog’s individual style and truly complete their look. Not to mention if they ever stray too far from their kingdom, they have your info engraved right on their buckle to get them home safe.

So what are some of the looks we are raving about this fall? Well for the put-together pup we recommend…

How to Pick the Best Collars for Puppies: A Brief Guide

You brought your new puppy home, now what?! Well of course after getting food, the second most important thing is finding your puppy a collar. A puppy collar will make it possible to go on (much needed) walks and hold your new dog’s most important info: its ID tag.

Of course I’m partial, but I LOVE our puppy collars for the fact that their ID info is engraved right on the buckle. This means no hanging tags that can get caught on their crate, that they can chew off their collar and no jingle jangle from that tag — this collar is silent!

Personalized Dog Breed Dog Tags are here; and so is Walnut the Pug!

Mimi Green Personalized Dog Breed Dog ID TagsWe’re pretty happy around Mimi Green as of late and for good reason, or should I say reasons.  Firstly, our newest addition to the seemingly ever-expanding Mimi Green line is ready to go, and they are sharp!

Our 24k. gold plated and genuine nickel plated Mimi Green personalized dog breed dog ID tags are now available for 100+ breeds in 2 sizes.  And let me tell you, these are not the run-of-the-mill brass, or stainless steel, tags you might be familiar with. They are very well made and feel like little pieces of jewelry.  The small size is perfect for toy and small breeds, and features up to three lines of personalized text on the back, while the large size is suitable for medium to large breeds, and has up to four lines of text.  I have included a few examples below but be sure to check them out on the site along with all of the other great dog ID tags we currently offer.

And now without further ado, I present to you Walnut!

Walnut the Pug at Mimi Green Studios Walnut came to us Yesterday after a friend dropped him off at the Mimi Green Studios.  He is staying with us until he can find a new home, although I suspect that he already has (with us)!  I guess we will just have to wait and see.  He came to us as Leroy, from a house where he had literally been living on his own, all by himself for a couple of months.  He has not left our side since arriving and has slowly (well, actually very quickly!) won over our hearts.

Walnut and Augustine in the Mimi Green StudiosWalnut chose his favorite person quickly, and needless to say – it is Augustine!  Here they are relaxing before lunch.  He is also a great model, as you can clearly see.  In these images he is content and quite happy in his Mimi Green Cebra Loca (Crazy Zebra) harness.

He is also modeling the Personalized Mi Corazon (My Heart) collar with a Mimi Green Pug dog ID tag.

The Pets of Mimi Green! Edition 1: My love, Kermie the goldfish

We are not only dog lovers here at Mimi Green, but major animal lovers. We don’t descriminate!  Here at the office we have a pet goldfish, lots of pet shrimps, 4 snails and our employees collectively have 14 dogs (of course!), 2 parrots, a dove, a gecko & 3 cats.

Our lovely black moor goldfish Kermie is, next to Chupa, the unofficial office mascot. I fell in love, and I mean head over heels in LOVE, with him last April because he looks like a pug (correction, he looks exactly like Chupa!)

Our Pug-alicious Photo Shoot! (and a coupon!)

It is no secret that I LOVE pugs, so you won’t be surprised to hear I had a blast with these monkeys today. Tracy brought her two pugs Zack and Zelda (who you have probably seen all over our site and blog, they are the cutest!) and her bf’s pug Stella (you remember her, we named our Stella Rose and Blue collars after her!)

Pugs MImi Green CollarsI love this photo. It reminds me of an early 1900s photo where everyone is so stoic.

Zack is such a ham, he didn’t take a single bad photo.

and Zelda has such a great “pug” look to her. She is as sweet as she is beautiful too.

Cute Reflective Dog Collars — Be Safe and Look Good!!

We’ve had tons of requests for reflective dog collars but I just couldn’t figure out how to make them as cute as our other collars.   After tons of thought we finally had custom colored reflective ribbon made just for us and came up with some super cool reflective collars!

Cool Reflective Dog Collar

(isn’t Minion cute! She is our manager Paula’s puppy and she is turning 1 next week! She came from the the Save a Mexican Mutt Rescue  which is an awesome organization who helps save dogs on the streets in and around San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.)

We started with Grape, Raspberry, Forrest Green, Aqua Blue and Black but will have tons of other colors by summer.

I was skeptical, but these collars turned out more awesome than I could have imagined!

We also used the reflective ribbon to make our Personalized Buckle Dog CollarsPersonalized Reflective Dog Collar, Cute Reflective Dog CollarsThe 3M reflective tape looks grey in daylight, but even indoors any ray of light reflects brightly on this collar. This way any approaching vehicle will spot you and your dog from up to 1000 feet away so you will both stay safe on your evening walks!
