The newest crop of pet accessories makes the style cut with plenty of chic to spare. Literally a hot spot at retail, this category has taken off and soared with competition driving the design way off the charts. Look for styles that are every bit as fashionable as the latest and greatest human looks, complementing the home with bow-WOW panache.
