How to get great photos of your dog – 6 easy steps!

September 25th, 2009

Hello!

Many of you from Twitter have commented on how Dogopolis’ photos looks nice and professional, and have asked me about the camera that I use etc.  Most of the time I use a Digital SLR but I also take a lot of the photos with  my iPhone camera. I would agree that a good camera enhances the quality of the image, but there are other things that you can do to get a great photo of your dog, even if you don’t have a fancy schmancy DSLR.

So here is a short tutorial for ya:

1. Get your dog used to the camera

Trust me, I'm a Poofessional

Trust me, I'm a Poofessional

The first thing is to get your dog used to the camera. Most of you have probably snapped hundreds of pictures of your pup so this won’t be a problem but some dogs might not be as familiar with the camera, they might try to sniff it or get close to it because they’re curious about it.  If this is the case, distract them by giving them toys to play with or take » Read more: How to get great photos of your dog – 6 easy steps!

Cool Product: It's a TOY! It's a TREAT… it's BOTH!

September 24th, 2009
Bony Babies, Raw hide inside stuffed toy from bissf.com

Bony Babies, Raw hide inside stuffed toy from bissf.com

I came across Bony Babies at the San Jose Pet Fair and have been begging my mom to chew on it. She bought it for me because she thinks it looks like me and little did she know that there is a surprise for me inside of it (RAW HIDE! yay). I talked about it in my previous post but I wanted to do a special product posting on it, as well as let you guys know where you can buy the product.

To learn more about the product and the company behind it go to www.bissf.com .  I will do some sniffing around regarding whether you can purchase it online or not but I definitely would recommend this product

Why?

Because it’s one of those toys that will take me a long time to destroy and it keeps my mom happy because I will be tired out afterwards. It looks like me! And it has a treat inside that will also take more time to chew.  Also, the price point was pretty reasonable at $9.

You may also buy it online at http://bestinshowsf.com for $8.50 !

Bark in the Park

September 23rd, 2009

I went to San Jose’s annual “Bark in the Park” last weekend and had a pretty good time.  I like it when events like this happens because I get to do something different that laze around in the house all day. Don’t get me wrong I LOOOVE being a sleepy poo but an activity outside of the house gets my tail movin.

My favorite vendors I would have to say would be :

(1) Mona’s Munchies

Mona's Munchies Cute Logo

Mona's Munchies Cute Logo

Why? Because they have a really nice selection of cookies/baked goodies for dogs AND they have SQUIRREL SHAPED COOKIES! For some reason, it looks really delicious to me.

The most delicious cookie on earth

(2) Gussied Up Dog Boutique

Why? Because they sell toys that is shaped like me!  The doxie shaped toy is also chewable and get this, it has a RAW HIDE in the inside!!! I can’t wait to tear it up but my  mom says she wants to keep it fresh… I think she’s nuts. *whine*

I have met my arch nemesis!
