Dog Collars That Bring Good Karma

Courtesy of Good Karma

What do lucky dogs like Martha Stewart’s Paw Paw and Jennifer Aniston‘s Dolly have in common? You might spot them prancing around town in a Good Karma collar by SOCOCO, or Socially Conscious Companion. The chic collars let pets show some style while supporting a good cause. 10% of the profits from each $30 collar goes directly to help children in South Africa’s Baphumelele Orphanage and Education Center, a charity that gives permanent shelter and schooling to children orphaned or abandoned because of AIDS. The collars are available in a rainbow of bright hues like Mighty Mango and Brave Blue that let you and your dog show off your true colors.

Dogs In Strollers? Tori Spelling Practices On Her Pooch

We’ve seen Tori switch up her maternity style from hippy to vampy, but now she’s testing out baby-like accessories — this time, taking her dog out for a spin in a stroller! While out walking with husband Dean McDermott and two other pooches (who walked on the ground), Tori pushed her pug Mimi La Rue in a mesh-sided stroller. Is the pug too pooped to trot or is Tori feeling out what being a mommy is like? Guess she’ll find out soon enough when her baby boy arrives in the new year.

For the whole scoop on Tori in Off the Rack, click here. And for more on other star mommy-to-be’s, click here.

Gifts for Everyone: Colorful Dog Collars

Want to make your dog stand out in a crowd? For those of us who take our pups to dog runs, it’s not just a style statement, it’s the best way to track them in the pack! These bright, colorful Sailors Knot collars, $38 (and matching leashes, $42) from Mascot fit the bill — and could the bone-shaped buckle be cuter? And if you aren’t just gifting your own pooch, consider adding in one of their Varsity sweaters, $60, for a complete and coordinated gift for the dog-lover in your life.

Gifts for Everyone: A Dog Lover like Leo

For those of us with dogs, playing fetch can occasionally be more fun for the pooch than for our tired throwing arm. Give your pooch-loving friends the gift that Leonardo DiCaprio (and a frisky French Bulldog) is already putting to good use — the Chuckit! Ball Launcher, $10. It may look like a back-scratcher, but it’s actually a panacea for your weary arm, letting you consistently throw anywhere between 100 and 140 feet. So, just make sure to take this gift outside before you test it out!

Click here to buy the Chuckit!, and click here for more ways to pamper your pet in Off the Rack.

How To Make Your Dog The Best Dressed Pooch!

As Olympia Dukakis famously said in Steel Magnolias, “The only thing that separates us from the animals is our ability to accessorize.” But that doesn’t mean that we can’t help them out (as Paris is demonstrating, left)! After much ooh-ing and ah-ing over cute the puppies pictured in our Stars and Their Dogs! gallery, we came up with some of our favorite items for the totally pampered pooch (like Paris Hilton’s, left).

Halloween is approaching, so why not dress your dog up too? Go the barnyard route with a Pig, $35 or Cow costume, $35. Or go traditional with a Pumpkin outfit, $25.
