This season, bling is the thing for uptown dogs. Crystal dog accessories, such as hair clips, dog necklaces, fancy collars for dogs and leashes, come in a number of styles and colors. And anything pink gets a bark of approval from the top dog in the home. Pink dog clothes, pink dog accessories, pink bedding, pink fancy dog collars, and pink T-shirts for dogs keep puppies panting with enthusiasm.

While dog clothes and dog sweaters are still popular, T-shirts for dogs are the trend. Not only do dog T-shirts keep pooches comfortable in a wide range of temperatures, but T-shirts for dogs make a fashion statement for the pet and his or her owner. Dogs whose tastes go to designer duds can sport T-shirts for dogs that say, "Canine Kline," "Tommy Dog," and "Liz Claibone." Urban dogs may go for dog T-shirts that proclaim, "Badda-Bing," while preppie dogs stick with the classic polo, of course! T-shirts for dogs that want to show off their sporty side include those that say, "Air Dog," and also have that telltale (or "tell-tail") swoosh, "Mighty Dog Gym," and "Bark Beach."

Dog T-shirts and dog sweaters can help keep a pet warm during the cool fall and cold winter months. But dressing your dog warmly is only one element to keeping this member of the family safe. The American Society to prevent Cruelty to Animals offers these tips for cold temperature:

* Make sure to keep a dog leashed much more snow or ice, because he can lose his scent and be lost.

* Wipe down a dog's paws, legs, and torso after coming in from the snow. Otherwise, he can lick himself and ingest salt or antifreeze.

* Have a dog's coat long during winter months.

* If a dog is really a shorthaired breed, have him wear a dog sweater when taking a walk.

* If your dog is especially active throughout the winter, feed him extra protein to help keep his energy up.

* Make sure to provide a dog with a warm bed and blanket, and keep him away from drafts.
