Pets are more than just companions; they’re much loved family members and best friends too, and are so high in our estimation that they deserve to indulge in a luxurious lifestyle to just the same degree that we do. From designer dog beds to gourmet cuisine and even lavish weekends away, it seems that nothing is out of the question these days, with new high-end products and pursuits emerging seemingly by the day that aim to help you level up level your pet’s day-to-day.
For many dog owners, no expense is spared in the pursuit of creating an opulent lifestyle for your thoroughly pampered pooch, and rightly so. Here, we take a look at the increasingly popular ways pet owners are ensuring their dogs get to live out every moment in style.
Luxurious living at home
The foundation to any luxury lifestyle is having a comfortable home life, but beyond that an aesthetically pleasing one, too. Just like your bedroom is your haven, your dog’s sleeping area is theirs, and so kitting it out with opulent furnishings like a memory foam bed and adding tactile fabrics like faux fur and wool to enhance cosiness will ensure that they can enjoy the sweetest of dreams whenever the need strikes. Choose colours and styles that compliment your overall home aesthetic, and if you’re really looking to go all out then consider splurging on some designer dog furniture, like a plush pet sofa, and accessorise with innovative extras like a self-feeding station to ensure their needs are always met, even when you’re not around. Look for designer dog furniture, such as chic pet sofas or stylish feeding stations, and Cazaar dog pens are a great way to create a dedicated space for your dog that is all their own.
Gourmet dining
For fans of the finer things in life, gourmet cuisine is one of the most enjoyable indulgences – so why leave your pet out of the experience? While they might not be able to accompany you to your next Michelin-starred dinner date, there are plenty of ways for them to get an elevated dining experience at home, and spoiling them with premium, organic food made from all natural ingredients will enhance their health as well as delighting their palates. These days, the market is awash with delectable offerings designed for even the most discerning of pooches, and with specific dietary requirements in mind. Don’t forget that presentation is key, and serving up their meals in elegant bowls at a stylishly set up station will up level their meal times even further.
Pet spa days
Contrary to popular belief, spa days aren’t just for humans, and these days, pet spas are taking the concept of pampered pooches to a whole new level. Going beyond the standard grooming parlour, these lavish establishments offer a range of treatments designed to relax, rejuvenate and renew, ranging from soothing baths with organic shampoos to indulgent paw treatments complete with moisturising balms. So next time you’re heading off for some much needed R&R, book your dog in for an appointment of their own so that they, too, can unwind in the lap of luxury. To really spoil them, be sure to include an appointment with a top pet stylist to give your pup a chic trim and tidy.
Luxury getaways
These days, there’s no need to leave your dog behind when heading off on that next luxury staycation. With dog-friendly accommodation choices at an all time high, it couldn’t be easier to find an opulent coastal lodge, beachfront cottage or even a plush hotel where your pet will be more than welcome, and many offer luxurious amenities for both you and your furry companion to ensure that everyone enjoys their stay to the maximum. From five-star hotels with pet-friendly rooms to boutique bed and breakfasts with spacious gardens, there are numerous opulent options for travelling with your dog in tow in the UK and further afield in Europe, so don’t allow yourselves to be restricted or to feel your dog must stay at home when they can be just as much a part of the experience as the rest of the family.
Designer attire
These days, it couldn’t be easier to ensure your dog is the best dressed canine in town, with a raft of big name designers clamouring to create stunning ranges designed to suit even the most discerning of tastes – whether they be the owner’s, or the dog’s. From designer collars and leads crafted from premium leather to elegant coats and warm knitted jumpers for chilly days, there are plenty of fashionable options to suit every taste and style.
