The Fashionable Dog

Maybe you can't afford a Burberry trench coat for yourself, but that doesn't mean that Rover can't have one. As dogs become more integrated into families and even thought of as kids, dressing up your dog in a t-shirt, sweater, coat, or Halloween costume for that matter, is not that abnormal. But, what about giving your dog luxury items normally reserved for people? Perhaps items that you would not even buy for yourself?

Burberry Coat from Uptown Pets $90-145

If you want your dog to be the envy of all the other dogs at doggy day care (or, more likely, if you want to be the envy of other pet parents), splurge on some designer duds. You are sure to elicit tons of "awwws" when your pride and joy prances around as if she was on a runway.

If your dog doesn't like wearing clothes, you can opt for accessories. Collars, leashes and "hair" clips are available for your furbaby.

Don't forget any fashionable dog must also be well groomed. Pet Head by TIGI offers several shampoos, sprays, brushes, conditioners and a couple of accessories for dogs with a variety of coats. Pet Silk has even more options when it comes to grooming, including cologne, gel, "hair" spray and more shampoos and conditioners than you. The SPA collection reads like an upscale human salon with color brightening shampoo and facial scrub.

Now that you have your best furry friend dressed, accessorized and groomed, you have to replace that old dog food dish. Your Burberry clad pooch doesn't want to eat out of a regular bowl, and you surely don't want the dog food bowl to stick out in your well decorated home. A variety of dog bowls, combination food and water feeders, and even treat jars look like little works of art that will blend in to any interior decorating style.

Acacia Bowls from Glamour Dog $35-95

Finally, after a long day, your dog will sleep like a [fur]baby. Soothe his or her aching joints with a memory foam bed from Buddy Beds. If you live in a cold climate, make sure your dog never gets too cold at night with a heated bed- some even come with a massage option! An entire bedroom set from Pamper Me Puppy is too adorable to pass up if you have the extra space. If you don't have the room, a lounge area will make Rover happy as well.

Of course you will be travelling with your dog, so get a carrier and any additional travel items, like a car seat. If you crate your dog, there are plenty of stylish options for that as well. Your puppy may even eat better than you with organic, human-grade dog food.

You don't want Fluffy to be left out, so grab a few cat items so you aren't playing favorites.
