I know it’s only early Autumn here in Brisbane, Australia, but now’s the time to start thinking about stocking up on the latest winter woollies for those hardy fur-kids braving the elements in the near future. Personally I think you can’t get enough of the ‘great indoors’ on a warm rug – preferrably bed – to see out the chill.

Spare a thought for our Russian fur-friends who brave the below zero chill. I’ve heard that some are doing it in style however, with the canine fashion trend defying the recent economic crisis. Sumptuous fur coats, day, sports and evening wear are now available from reputable fashion designers for the discerning fur-kid and often matching apparel for Mum too.
It has my vote for ‘pet passion fashion!’ :
