Boot's, Coat's and Dog Collars For Your Shar Pei
I have recently discovered the most beautiful line of dog collars ever!
Castle Hound Designs are the producers of some of the most wonderful, creative and functional dog collars available anywhere! They are all 100% handmade using the finest quality materials. From elegant fabrics to solid brass hardware. These collars can be custom made to order for YOUR dog. And YES, they ship internationally!
Even though Castle Hound Designs merchandise is primarily designed for Sighthounds it is not exclusively for Sighthounds. They cater to the ALL BREED market and are proud to offer our products in a wide array of sizes to meet the requirements of many breeds. They have made collars as small as for Chihuahuas and as large as Great Danes and Akitas. In fact a very large proportion of our customers have other classy canines such as: Chinese Shar Pei, Weimeraner, Schnauzer, Boxer, Doberman, Rottweiler, Poodle, Chinese Crested, Miniature Pinscher, Dachshund to name but a few…
The main reason why Castle Hound began to create Greyhound merchandise was in an effort to raise funds for The Wind Chimes Greyhound Rescue. Greyhound Rescue, animal welfare and environmentalism are subjects extremely close to their hearts and for that reason Castle Hound Designs will donate a minimum or 20% of all net profits to benefit the hounds and will in addition make donations in the form of Collars, Leads, Dog Coats and Luxury Dog Accessories to fundraising raffles and auctions run by charities of all animal related welfare organizations and environmental awareness foundations and groups.

Ruffwear Boots For YOUR Shar Pei
Please check out all the great products GEAR4DOGS offer as well as the RUFFWEAR k-9 Overcoat, Grip Trex boots and the Swamp Cooler Zephyr wears!
Ruffwear dog boots:
True to their commitment of designing and producing innovative dog gear that enhances the shared interactive bond between humans and canines, Ruff Wear has revolutionized canine paw wear.
The Grip Trex™ feature two major advancements in dog boots-an upper inspired by human shoes and a high performance Vibram® sole. Built on an anatomical mold, just like human shoes, the boot's upper maintains a consistent size, shape, and fit. The revolutionary upper design and construction ensures the boots are easy to put on, easy to secure, provide continued comfort, and most importantly, the boots stay on-from the first mile to the last.
For the revolutionary sole, Ruff Wear partnered with Vibram® the world's leading developer of soles for active pursuits. The partnership produced the unique Grip Trex™ design with omnidirectional treads and traction zones customized to the demanding needs of active dogs. The sole generates unequaled grip, traction, durability, and performance.
Together, these two advancements produce a completely revolutionary dog boot from top to bottom. Put Grip Trex™ on your dog and unleash the canine athlete inside, then do your best to keep up with your four-legged friend and enjoy the fun.
Grip Trex™ are built to secure around the ankle but below the carpal pad. The boot should have room in the paw area, allowing the paw to spread when bearing weight.
Measuring Paw Width
- Have your dog stand on a firm surface (wood, linoleum, or concrete).
- Place a piece of blank paper under a front paw.
- Lift the dog's other front paw so that its weight is placed firmly on the paw being measured.
- Mark the paper at the paw's widest point on the left and right edges of the paw.
- Use a ruler to measure the width of the paw (in inches) from the left mark to the right mark.
- For example: if the width is measured between 2.25" and 2.5", the dog would wear a small boot; between 2.75" and 3.0", a large.
NOTE from gear4dogs: Often a dog will wear one size on the front paws and a different size on the back! Be sure to refer to their site for a sizing chart.
As I have said in other areas of this site, I have found the SMALL size boot to work great and fit well for the Shar Pei. I will say thatyou sould follow the measuring suggestion above incase your Pei is unlike mine.
Ruffwear k-9 Overcoat ( it's what Zephyr wears! )

Ruffwear SWAMP COOLER
Don't for a moment believe that a walk in the park on a hot sunny day is a good idea. Please be sure to protect your friend with this way cool product from RUFFWEAR! The Swamp Cooler™ cooling vest for dogs is a must. You can be certain Zephyr and Jovi will be sporting the Swamp Cooler this summer!
On a warm sunny day, dogs will trot for the shade, lie down, and pant the heat away. They need an air-conditioner—a Swamp Cooler—to stay cool, happy and active.
Dogs can beat the heat, staying cool while hiking and biking in the desert, playing on the beach, boating on open water under full sun, and waiting for their turn during outdoor agility trials in the heat. Outfit your dog in the Swamp Cooler and let the cooling begin!
