Get Ready!

That's a flea, folks. Our favorite new dog toy features your pet's arch enemy with a wonderfully sinister expression, dangling bungee legs for yanking, dragging, and tug o'war, plus a sound chip! The noise this toy makes is a very electronic-sounding "Boing!" When I received the toys from my supplier I set down the box they arrived in and heard this "Boing!" sound. Kinda like, "Let us outta here, Lady. We're here to infest your house!"

The body on these is about 4 1/2" long, and with the legs, they're a good size for every dog.

This is a flea your dog can have fun with!

For the real ones, however, we have some terrific products with Insect Shield.

 

Blankets for the beach, yard, or camping spot.

 

 

 

Bandanas

 

 

and a cargo cover for your vehicle.

 

Get ready for some comfortable travel and summer fun with

these fine products that will unfriend bugs!

Here an interesting article

  from the Wall Street Journal with more about
how Insect Shield and other helpful information
about protecting yourself and your family.

Defend your dog against all those irritating (at best),
 and health-threatening insects: mosquitos, ticks,
and the historic nemesis of our family pets,
this guy.
 

Let this be the only kind of flea your dog has to deal with this season.

 

 

Tubettini Cute Alert - Three Darling Dachshunds

This trio of adorable adventurers are our delightful Dachshund customers from Florida.

 

That's Jack on the left, Bentley in the middle of things, and Baby Girl Darla on the right.

 

These guys are so much fun. Their mom calls them her Tubettini.
That's an Italian take on the old frankfurter food reference for Dachsies.
 (And also a fun pasta shaped like our favorite long body dog.)

 

 Smart little dogs, and adventurous.

There's so much to enjoy in sunny Florida, where they live.

 

 

 

So what could be more fun than one Dachshund?
 

 

 

Well, three of them that like to team up and have fun together.

 

Getting together with family and friends and having a great time, isn't that what our dogs

remind us that it's really all about?

 

 

Our humble little pets truly are the wise ones, and by their happy presence show us the way.

These three little Dachshunds look for joy in every day, and find plenty

to share with their family and friends. 

 

 

Here at Dog City Dime Store our joy is getting to know all of our wonderful customers. Each of them brings a special happiness to those who share their homes and care for them. These three precious Tubettini are poster kids for how family dogs brighten our lives every day.

 

 

 

 

Vote for my dog!

 

If there's one thing I know about dogs, it's that they love to make us laugh. This shirt will bring a smile to everyone who sees it. Can you just see a little dog zooming around the dog park wearing this? We just have a couple of these, so don't miss out. You know your dogs would pick the silly stuff if they did their own shopping. And besides, your dog has the perfect qualities for the job: loyal, hard-working, protective, sensible, and dedicated to your best interests.

 

 

Well, it's early in the presidential campaign, and we have some fun political swag for your dogs. Limited quantities, great prices and free shipping, so get your election gear while it lasts.

Republican and Democrat collars, leashes, and that fun shirt up top. All made in the USA!

 

 

Seattle Mariners Dog Fan Gear

The season has begun and everyone here in Seattle is ready to go out and cheer on our Mariners. Our baseball stadium Safeco Field is an amazing bit of architecture with an almost steam punk feel. The beauty of the stadium is that it is visible from the air, the street, the freeway, the train, and the water. Likewise, you can get some great views from the stadium and fresh, Northwest air while you cheer on the team. (If it's raining, no problem, the field has a retractable roof.)

Seattle is said to have more dogs than kids. I don't know if that is true, but the dogs around here do wear lots of team gear. So we just stocked some very cool baseball jerseys with the team name and logo on the back (and #1 for your dog, of course), and a high-cut tummy with buttons. Such a classic look!

These should work well for dogs with wide necks, but if you aren't sure about your pet's size, just contact us. We are happy to compare your dog's dimensions to the actual garment to help you select the perfect size.

One thing we keep kind of quiet about here at Dog City Dime Store is our cat clientele. We know that many of them do wear team logo bandanas when their folks entertain, and so we have our Mariners bandanas in Small and Large.

(Here is our customer Rambo wearing his Seahawks bandana.)

Cute collars for Mariner dogs are available in Small, Medium, and Large right now. Pick up your pet's new baseball team gear today!

If you are visiting Seattle this summer, be sure to go to a game at the Safe (Safeco Field). You'll see some great Pacific Northwest scenery, savor the fine food, and enjoy our favorite team. You'll see ferries, trains, seagulls, and quite a few Boeing airplanes if the rooftop is open. Lots of fun and friendly people here and a great team that remind us why we Americans love baseball.

Go Pack Go!

And who is this sleepy boy? Our handsome customer, Hank, wearing his new Green Bay Packers football and laces collar.

Perhaps Hank is dreaming of Aaron Rodgers tossing a winning touchdown pass, the Packers winning the Super Bowl in 2016, or possibly just appreciating his wonderful folks, who take such good care of him and take him to Packers training camp every year.

Hank loves to play in the water at the beach or anywhere, even if it's just actively helping to wash the car. He is a "sweet boy and a good snuggler."

We love our Green Bay Packers fans at Dog City Dime Store, and have a fine pack of dogs who wear the licensed team gear with great style: Hank, Reggie, and Atlas are just amazing dogs.

And as Packers fans like to repeat, coast-to-coast, in any conversation, wherever they are,

GO PACK GO!

Singing in the Rain

We know raincoats here in Seattle, and so do our dogs.

 

That's my little guy right there, keeping his fresh trim dry and poufy. He's also showing you a design feature on all the raincoats we stock that allows you to attach a leash to your dog's collar, yet keeps him from getting wet.

That little flap with the dinosaur logo on it actually covers up the leash attachment slot so no drip, no wet, even when it's liquid sunshine.

The other neat trick that this design offers is clever folding option that allows you to tuck the entire raincoat into itself and it magically becomes

this portable pouch, perfect to store in your purse, car, pocket, or your dog's emergency pack.

We have raincoats in several themes and colors, so look around to find one for your pet. Choose from a whale, a monkey in a stocking cap, a green dinosaur, red ladybug, or busy, buzzy bee.

 

Here's our bee theme raincoat in blue 

 

 

and a fun monkey in olive green.

 

 

Not all sizes in all colors, so shop around, as it's time to get ready for April showers. Our prices will have you singing in the rain!
