Nail polish for dogs

Did you think that nail polish was only to be enjoyed by human? Well, you were wrong! In the spring of 2009 the well known and popular nail polish brand OPI revealed the news to the world that they they were to introduce a series of nail polish for dogs called Pawlish! Pawlish was the starting shot for a wide spread discussion all over the world on Internet communities and other forums. Was special designed nail polish for dogs a good or bad thing? OPI may have revived the discussion but it wasn't the first brand to sell dog nail polish. Dog care has been around for long with shampoos and paw salves, maybe first used by veterinarians but fast spreading to all dog owners. Companies saw the possibility to monetize this need and all kinds of remedies for the dog's fur, paws and mouth is available today. There's also a big business in dog clothes. Then the turn came to dog beauty. There are perfumes for dogs, for example Dog Generation's perfume Oh my dog, and now nail polish for dogs as well.

The OPI Pawlish comes, for now, in six colors; pink, green, blue, silver, red and purple glitter. But just as the popular nail polish colors for human, the names aren't as simple as that. The Pawlish colors (in the same order as above) are called; Poodle Pink, Bow Wow!, Dog House Blues, Yuppy Puppy, Fire Hydrant Red and Mutt's New? You can purchase these blending dog nail polishes in .5oz bottles for $11,95 each, Fire Hydrant Red and Pink Puppy cost $13,95. If the nail polish for dogs becomes a hit, there will probably come more colors to chose between. If you think nail polish for dogs is a little bit too much, there's still much care you can give to your dog a little massage or pedicure after trimming the claws and using paw salve is a great way to make your dog feel comfortable and given attention. At first you may be skeptical about how dog nail polish will look and also if theres any idea to spend money on it. Maybe you and your dog like long walks in the wilderness or in the woods or your dog just likes to tumble around and isn't very concerned about its claws and a possible dog nail polish on them. And will your dog be able to hold still when applying the Pawlish? Well, maybe nail polish for dogs doesn't really fit a big German Shepherd or other powerful dogs, it's primarily for those small dogs you walk in the city and can put in your handbag.
