The Story of Doggie Couture Shop...up,up and away

For many merchants and successful online businesses starting at the bottom is the name of the game. For Doggie Couture Shop - that statement couldn't be more true.

Melissa Gampel is the President/ Owner of Doggie Couture Shop and started 9 years ago selling items on Ebay. After receiving wonderful feedback regarding her customer service and items, she decided it was time to move forward with something else.

Melissa'a inspiration came from her first puppy named Charlie who she dressed up in her Dad's old shirts and made hats for him. Her love of making dog's and pet's cute became something she loved to do.

For years, Melissa wanted to open a Dog Boutique by reading all the latest fashion magazines and applying that to her Dog Boutique.

Melissa is married and has two children and 3 step children, and is located in beautiful Kings Park, NY. She now has 1 dog name Rudy who is a Mauzer, a Maltese/ Schnauzer and treats him just like the little boy she has always wanted.

Doggie Couture Shop has over 15,000 products in their online pet boutique and carries extremely upscale lines like Chrome Bones, Juicy Couture, Christian Audigier and Rock & Republic.

Doggie Couture Shop is a top leader in the dog fashion world and as long as people are loving their pets, Doggie Couture Shop will be around.

It Could Be Spookier Thank You Think!

Yes, Halloween is a fun time for the whole family but can be a bit scary for Fido. If you have a uptight pooch or a shy doggy, this can be very stressful for dogs and pets of all kind.

The doorbell "ding donging" non stop, strangers approaching and loud trick or treaters..can honestly get the best of anyone! Can you imagine what your pet is feeling? All these odd people in big hats and spooky voices yelling at the front door “TRICK OR TREAT”!

There are steps you can take to help your pooch with the wonderfully spooky holiday!

• First thing you can do is keep calm! Be relaxed and he or she will pick up on that
• Do not force your dog to approach spooky yard decorations or laughing skeletons.
• Be careful forcing to your dog to lay down or “be nice”, aggression often comes from dogs that are forced into a “spooky” situation.
• Utilize his or her crate if she is crate trained. Put in another room with a favorite toy and turn on the TV for sound.
• If your dog is allowed to be in with the excitement, what the front door, as they can bolt out quickly and with all the HOOPLA going on, they could run into the street.
• Keep candy away from your dog! Sometimes while checking the candy or wiping off the face makeup from our little human ghouls, we forget about our pet being in the living room susceptible to yummy Milk Duds! If you suspect that Fido has enjoyed a Milky Way, call the Animal Control Hotline at 1-900-680-0000. Remember: Chocolate can be deadly to dogs!
• If your dog is chained, Please Please unchain and secure him or her inside or in a crate. Chained dogs are always vulnerable to cruel or mischievous actions, so please don't take a chance.
  
• Lastly, if you are going to dress up your little Weiner in the newest Hot Dog Costume, please don’t make him or her wear it for hours!
  

There are many yummy Halloween treats for Dogs during the night to keep him or her happy during the events! Precious little Halloween dog toys and wonderfully tasting chews, that is how your dog can also enjoy the night without being medicated...
