This is no ordinary collar!

We've recently introduced some new product improvements to our collars, harnesses and leads. One of the most exciting is our new metal buckle! Collars and harnesses will now feature a very heavy-duty zinc die-cast buckle which is twice as strong as the plastic buckles. It's also very "swanky" and features the swankypet.net brand name. If you would like a lighter collar made for your pet, please let us know and we'll be happy to make your item with the traditional plastic buckle. We also have break-away buckles for kitty collars!

Celebrate the Fall Season

To usher in the fall season, three new prints are available for collars, harnesses & leads in our Seasonal Collections page. Autumn Hues is a rich combination of red, rust and gold autumn leaves. Cascading Leaves features delicate fall leaves cascading against a black background. Finally, Fall Leaves features a neutral toned print with realistic-looking oak leaves against a beige background. Wearing any of these prints, your dog will turn heads everywhere you go!



Also in time for fall, check out our new Fall Gourmet Treats on our new Gourmet Pet Treats page!. We've introduced three mouth-watering fall treats that will have your pup delighted. Acorns are a cinnamon cookie with carob icing and colorful fall sprinkles. Fall Bones are a delicious peanut butter cookie dipped in yogurt and carob icing and decorated with fall colored sprinkles.

swankypet.net gets a face lift!

Thanks to all of our valuable customers, swankypet.net has been growing by leaps and bounds! Today I'm introducing a new design for the website, along with some new products.

First, the website. We've traded in the industrial "Web 2.0" look for something a little more, well, swanky! The new design keeps the best of what was old while adding some softer and stylish elements to the site. I hope you agree. Send your comments on the new design to merlot@swankypet.net.

We've also got some exciting new products! First, to get ready for the basketball season, I've added a whole new line of basketball-themed collars, harnesses, leashes and leads using National Basketball Association fabrics. These collars are sure to be a slam dunk for you and your favorite furry sports fan! Also, you'll find some very yummy gourmet dog treats as well as a new line of fun and stylish plush squeaky toys to help keep your dog feeling like numero uno.



Over the next few weeks, we'll continue to add product and tweak the site to provide you with an even better shopping experience for you and your furry friends.
