Dog shoes are used for aesthetic purposes as well as protective purposes. Some owners put on dog shoes because they want to protect their dog's paw from harmful elements found on the floor or on the pavement.

4. Dog ribbons and clips. These accessories are usually used on long haired dogs like the shih tzu. The ribbons and clips are used to hold their hair up and keep it away from their eyes. Another is to add beauty to your pet dog. Though dog ribbons and clips are usually used on female doggies in some long haired breeds the male dog also uses these as well.

5. Collar charms. These are tiny charms placed on your dog collars. These charms can come in different shapes, sizes and colors.

As long as your dog is comfortable with it, then there is no need to worry.

Dog accessories are items that you may or may not put on your dog. Just keep in mind your dog's comfort because when they are not comfortable, they tend to become restless and irritable.
