Cheechee (my Chihuahua) and I come back again and again to browse through the Mutt Club’s fabulous inventory of designer doggy fashion, accessories and goodies. Cheechee strolls Rodeo Drive often in her Pink Bubble Gum Harness Dress with matching pink leash. But, lately we’ve been eyeing the Mutt Club’s selection of Ed Hardy Doggy wear and designer doggy bags and we may just get the Ed Hardy Cotton T with crystals added for more bling for summer at the beach. Other adorable clothing charmers include a Pro-Style Basketball Jersey and Camo Tank tops. We also haven’t been able to decide if we prefer the Ed Hardy Dog Carriers or want to splurge on a decadent Serpent Pink Dog Carrier that matches my python handbags and boots.

A quick spray and brush down with the Mutt Club’s Hollywood Vanity Bahamian Spritzer keeps Cheechee’s coat sleek and chic for those walks in the city in between trips to the groomer.
