All of Tobia's clothes are custom-made
Knitwear: Forever love
"Prahalatta is a small dog, and Tobia only weighs 2.5kg. So, ready-made clothes don't always fit, and it's hard to find stylish ones, so I have a fitting before each purchase. I love Japan, so the other day I made Tobia a kimono so that we could go out together as a pair! When we go for walks, I choose items to coordinate with my outfits so that our colors match. I change Tobia's clothes every day after our walks, so I do laundry frequently. Oh, and of course I keep a variety of spare clothes on hand. Tobia's clothes have just as many variations as I do."

《Sarah & Tobia's Walking Notes》
・Our usual walking route
We used to go to the center of Centro. Recently, due to the impact of COVID-19, we have been trying to avoid crowds as much as possible. On weekdays, we go to a small park. We go for walks at times when it is less crowded. We especially try to avoid the time between 4:30pm and 6pm when it is bustling with children.

・Tobia's favorite foods and daily diet
Tobia's favorite food is Parmesan cheese. As he is a delicate dog, we do not feed him commercially available dog food, but instead feed him food that is prepared just for him every day. For example, we cook fresh fish or meat, put it in a blender and feed it to him. We also regularly consult with a canine nutritionist to provide advice on dietary requirements.

Dog: Willy / 5 years old / Male
Breed: Akita-inu crossbreed


Giovanna & Willie's Walking Outfit


Giovanna is wearing a navy blue scarf that matches the color of her dog Willie's cape. Her favorite style these days is to quickly match it with her outfit of the day. For her feet, she chose comfortable shoes perfect for a walk.

The neck is made of soft fleece, making it feel fluffy and comfortable. In addition to the design and feel, the product has also been well thought out in terms of functionality, being lightweight, waterproof, and highly resistant to the cold!
Cape: Temelini Milano

"When I first met Willie, no one wanted him and he was suffering from various illnesses. But as I continued to provide him with careful daily care, Willie gradually became healthier both mentally and physically. Now, it's hard to believe he was once so closed off, he's so friendly with both children and adults and is truly adorable. He's such a popular dog that everyone comes over when we take him for walks around town." (Giovanna)

・Willie's favorite foods and daily diet
Willie suffered from an illness when he was little, so I feed him dog food that is suitable for him and helps alleviate his symptoms.


Millie & Coco


【Profile】
Owner: Millie
Occupation: Student
Dog: Coco / 4 years old
Breed: French Bulldog (Brindle)


《Millie & Coco's Walking Outfits》


It's chilly in the mornings and evenings at this time of year, so Millie went out wearing a military outerwear with fur accents.
Millie's beloved dog Coco also wore a cute outerwear. French bulldogs are sensitive to the cold, so on this day we chose a single coat to help regulate their body temperature.

"In accordance with Italian rules, Coco was raised with her parents until she was three months old. After she was vaccinated and had a microchip implanted in the back of her neck, we welcomed her into our family. My style is to always choose clothes and items that make Coco look feminine. I always include accessories, such as pearl necklaces. All of Coco's clothes are custom-made, so my preferences are reflected in them. Today, I tried to coordinate Coco's outfit to match the colour of the fur on the outerwear I'm wearing." (Millie)


《Millie & Coco's Walking Notes》
・Usual walking route
We walk around Brera, the Duomo area, and the Sforzesco Castle. In the past, it was my daily routine to stop by a bar for tea on the way home from a walk. However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, bars are no longer offering dine-in services, so I've been walking home recently. Coco seems a little lonely now that she can no longer stop by a cafe on her way home from a walk.

・Coco's favorite foods and daily diet
I top Coco's dry food with steamed vegetables twice a day. I don't give her any commercially available treats or snacks.
