Dogs Live A Luxurious Life…

The Independent: They are dressed in designer outfits, spend their days working out on the treadmill and take holidays in luxury accommodation. It’s a dog’s life in the 21st century, it seems.
While pet pampering may once have been seen as a sign of a lonely life, it is now increasingly linked with celebrity culture. The hotel heiress Paris Hilton dresses her chihuahua in Chanel, the former Spice Girl Geri Halliwell buys her shih-tzu diamond collars and even Kimberly Quinn sent her Dandie Dinmont to a counsellor in an attempt to curb its hatred of David Blunkett’s guide dog.
Sales of top-of-the-range dog food have increased by 61 per cent in the past two years. And now a gourmet food range originally launched for cash-rich, time-poor humans is being extended to the canine market.
