Well, we can officially say that the dog days of summer are upon us.  With temperatures in Annapolis over the century mark for the third day in a row, we are doing our best to keep cool this weekend.  Unfortunately for our four-legged friends, that means no runs, or trips in the car for the foreseeable future.  To make up for the lack of activity, the least we can do is keep the dogs looking good, and the Sailors Knot Collar ($38) by Mascot will definitely do the trick.

Mascot launched in 2004 with the intent of creating a line of high quality, durable, and stylish dog supplies.  With companies like Vineyard Vines turning to them for exclusive collars, we would say that their mission is well on its way to being accomplished.  While we are big fans of the Vineyard Vines by Mascot offerings, our absolute favorite collar in the Mascot line is the Sailors Knot.  Made of water resistant polypropylene cord and featuring a bone shaped buckle that is finished with enamel, the collar is currently available in 9 color combinations and a variety of sizes.  Whether you are looking for something bright and lively for a chihuahua, or something a bit more understated for a lab, Mascot definitely has you covered.
