Some people think that dogs and cats are pretty enough as they are without any other adornment. Personally I feel that pets are a bit like people; some look great natural style others can look pretty fancy with a bit of sparkle.

Collar Charms are one of the easiest way to make your dog’s look, and there are lots available so you should be able to find something to suit.

As a general rule these collar charms look good on smaller dogs especially of the lapdog variety.

As a rule choose decorated or wide collars for larger dogs, especially as their games tend to be rougher and a charm could easily get lost in the scuffle.

One of the market leaders is Aria, with their range of fabulous charms with rhinestone detail.

The Enamel Bone Charm is a cute little touch, which comes in three colors, pink, white and blue with rhinestone detail and fixes onto the collar easily. The charm is an inch long, so a perfect size for a little dog.

High rollers amongst the dog and act community might take a fancy to Aria’s Royal range with the jewel of them all, the Majestic Crown decorated with rhinestones.

It comes in two colors and has a proper lobster clip fastening. This sophisticated little number would look a treat against pets of any shade although grey, white and black fur would set off the pendant the best.

The Pawprint Charm, at half an inch long, comes in either blue, white or pink sparkling stones. A more masculine design, so therefore more suitable for little boy dogs. Another design which would suit rakish little terrors is the silver or brass Skull and Crossbones designs.

The heart shape is a perennial favorite; and how cute it would look sparkling off your dog’s collar, especially this rhinestone studded one. With a lobster claw clasp this one inch wonder is bound to get some attention.

Pet Studio is another supplier with a line in collar charms for your pet, such as the Crystal Crown charm. With flower designs, open heart designs and funky star designs, you will ahve more than enough to choose from.

Charms are inexpensive and make a lovely fashion accessory for your pet, your friends will love them too!

Most noteworthy for society heiresses would be the Pet Studio plain silver Open heart charm, which bears a distinct resemblance to the famous Tiffany heart pendant.

When would you have your pet wear a charm, you may ask; well, the list is endless, parties, shows, photo shoots, you name it, a charm could work its magic. They distinguish your pet from the others and add a bit of character.
