The Latest Model Furrari

February 23, 2011 | Posted by bLavish as Pampered Pets at 11:11 pm | Comments off

I know that some of you are wondering if my title, or perhaps my photo, is an error, but I assure you that it is not. For all you avid car collectors and dog lovers out there, here’s a way to combine your interests. That’s right, it’s a Furrari, a luxury sports care made especially for your pooch.

The plush candy apple red design is streamlined and sexy, just like the real thing. (Okay, okay, it’s as streamlined and sexy as something stuffed can be!) It even comes with vanity plates that read, “Miami Dog”, which I’m not entirely sure is relevant outside the state of Florida.

In any case, some one thinks these babies are really cool, because they are on sale for as much as $1,295. That’s right, for a fraction of the cost of your own sports car, you can have one, too. Not to worry if that seems steep, though, because knockoff editions run as low as $299.

Give A Sexy Beast For Christmas

December 13, 2010 | Posted by bLavish as Pampered Pets at 9:00 pm | Comments off

If you were thinking about getting your dog a sweater for Christmas, think again. There’s no way your pooch is gonna forgive you once he finds out that you skimped on his gift. Instead, you can get a bottle of Sexy Beast’s canine perfume hand-engraved with his name and completely covered in Swarovski crystals.

Sexy Beast’s blend of bergamot, vanilla, mandarin and nutmeg oils is a seriously posh perfume for your pooch. Seriously, it’s the canine equivalent of Axe body spray. Except that at $850 for this limited edition bottle, it’s a pretty pricey holiday gift for a pet.I’m not saying Fido’s not worth it, but personally I’d opt for the $65 bottle. It’s not covered in crystals, but my dog’s never really been a big fan of bling, anyways. She prefers a more low key, minimal look to her cosmetics packaging.

The Bugatti Of Dog Collars

October 27, 2010 | Posted by bLavish as Pampered Pets, The Most Expensive at 4:01 pm | Comments off

I Love Dogs Diamonds is a very specialty jeweler. Don’t go there looking for engagement rings or delicate brooches, though, because they only cater to canines. This Amour, Amour collar is the crown jewel of their collection. It features 1,600 handset white diamonds in 52 carats, all set it shining platinum. The centerpiece of the chandelier design is a 7 carat brilliant cut stunner. The Amour, Amour is priced at $3,200,000, and was dubbed the “Bugatti of Dog Collars” by Forbes Magazine.

If you’re looking for something slightly less extravagant, La Juene Tulipe collar may be more your (or your pooch’s) style. It’s a part-leather collar with marquis, pear, and brilliant-cut diamonds, and features a gorgeous 1.52 marquis diamond drop. La Juene Tulipe retails for $150,ooo, a relative bargain compared to the Amour, Amour.

If all of these collars seem excessive to you, you can pamper your pet’s health with the I Love Dogs line of vitamins and supplements, which contain ingredients such as green tea, reishi, and condroitin or one of their significantly less expensive leather and turquoise collars.

Designer Decor With Fins

October 3, 2010 | Posted by bLavish as Home Decor, Pampered Pets at 9:00 pm | Comments off

If your home is a haven of clean, minimal design, you may not want to be bothered with a furry pet. Let’s be honest, there’s not truly elegant way to hide a litterbox or a dog crate. You just have to give over a whole room. Fish, on the other hand, are by their very nature pretty minimal. They’re quiet and so long as you hire someone else to clean the tank, they don’t really require much care.

A beautiful glass tank filled with exotically colored tropical fish could be just the thing that’s missing in your living room. But most tanks take up an enormous amount of space and are designed with huge bulky bases. Not this one. This is the perfect fishtank for a modern environment.

It looks like a decorator piece in its own right, and the steel and glass will go with everything from an industrial-style converted warehouse loft to a vast room of only white. It has an internal filtration system, and all those tubes and what not can be hidden up to 500 feet away.

$5,000 seems a small price to pay for such a great combination of man made and natural beauty. Better to invest in a whole wall of them.

The White Lion: World’s Most Expensive Pet

September 29, 2010 | Posted by bLavish as Pampered Pets, The Most Expensive at 3:57 pm | Comments off

If you’re looking to invest in an exotic pet, but can’t be bothered with run-of-the-mill monkeys, chimps, and reptiles, you may find yourself in the market for a pet lion. White lion cubs are some of the rarest and most expensive pets in the world, and are sure to impress (and perhaps terrify) even the most luxury-jaded of your friends.

These adorable balls of fluff run about $140,000 as cubs. They aren’t your everyday lion, and they aren’t albino, either. Their condition is known as leucism, and their color ranges from pure snow white to blonde to even red, but their eyes retain the prized golden-green of other cats.

These beautiful cats, which are native to Africa have a hard time in the wild, because they are so easy for predators to spot. It is partially for this reason, and partly because of poaching that white lions like these are extinct in the wild and currently live only in captivity.

If you are considering this type of luxury pet, you’re going to have to invest in more than a simple kennel. Adult lions get as big as 550 pounds, and need an enormous amount of space. They eat only mammals, and prefer live prey, so you might want to keep a flock of sheep handy for snacks. They are also notoriously stubborn to domestication and you can just forget about trying to catch your pet lion if she gets out of the yard, as they run at speeds of up to 50 miles per hour.

The Ultimate in (Canine) Luxury: Vintage Chinchilla Sleigh Bed

September 20, 2010 | Posted by bLavish as Pampered Pets at 5:27 pm | Comments off

If you are getting excited about owning this gorgeous faux chinchilla sleigh bed, hold on just a second. It’s not for you. It’s for your best friend. No, not that best friend, the other one. The furry one.

This beautifully handcrafted piece of furniture was designed by Paw Printz Pet Boutique with the comfort of your canine in mind. The exterior is made of plush faux chinchilla fur, and stuffed with a comfortable, dry-cleanable, foam material (because even the most pampered pooches have accidents sometimes). It’s the perfect thing for the dog lover who is ready to take back their bed and give FiFi one of her own.

The decorative feet keep your loved one’s little paws from ever touching the ground, and also make this piece of pet furniture a lot more passable than anything you’ll see at PetSmart. Of course, you probably won’t see a $649 price tag on any of PetSmart’s pet beds, but can you really put a price on the comfort and style of your precious pup?

A new record has been set for the amount paid for the treasured Tibetan Mastiff dog.

A Chinese millionaire only identified only Mrs. Wang, good luck with identification there, has recently thrown down $600,000 for an 18-month-old Tibetan Mastiff.  Rumors are that the woman had been looking for some time for the perfect example of the ancient dog breed, and apparently she has found it.

Paris Hilton just can’t keep to herself no matter how hard she tries.  Recently the heiress posted some pictures of her luxury doghouse on Twitter for all to oooo and awww over.

The newldy designed designer doghouse is more expensive than most homes and is certainly much nicer.  The $325,000 project features two floors, of course.

Thai jewelry designer Riwin Jirapolsek has recently created a $4.2 million dog tiara for his 15-year-old male Maltese.  Yes, you heard me right.  Oh, and did I mention that the stones he used to adorn the tiara were a gift from his mother?

Jirapolsek created the tiara using titanium, and 250 carats of emeralds and diamonds.  I suppose the luxury market is now going to the dogs…
