Ridiculous and Unnecessary Extravagances For Your Pet
How dare your dog have to travel in cargo like a member of the lower class. Now your pet can travel with dignity on Pet Airways. The new airline is for animals only – no owners allowed. The Florida-based carrier will whisk you beloved Bingo to and from New York, Washington D.C., Chicago, Denver and Los Angeles in first class-like accommodations.
Sound ridiculous? Then you are clearly not aware of the booming market for luxury pet goods.
Doesn’t sound ridiculous? Then you are probably someone who has bought their pets one of the following absurdly expensive or unnecessary extravagances:
Trianon Palace Hotel in Paris
Once your pet arrives at his or her destination only the best accomodations will do. Choose a hotel that caters to your furry creature like the exclusive Trianon Palace Hotel where Fido can enjoy the $400-a-night “Heavenly Pets” package complete with doggie room service.
Amour Amour dog collar
Considered the one of the most expensive dog collars in the world, this product from I Love Dogs Diamonds is a 52-carat diamond collar that includes 1600 hand-set diamonds with a seven-carat brilliant cut center diamond. Pick up one for your pooch for only $1.8 million.
Sexy Beast
The smell of dog, particularly wet dog, is not pleasant, but that’s the burden you bear for buying an animal. That is unless you invest in this eau de parfum which is a unisex blend of bergamot and vanilla-infused musk with natural patchouli, mandarin and nutmeg oils. Your dog will smell fresh for just $50-$65 a bottle.
Hello Kitty Doghouse
If your pet is king of the house, he might as well sleep like it in a $12,000 handmade Louis XVI-style bed from Harrods. But if that’s not good enough for the doggie diva on your hands get her a bed decorated with 7600 crystal beads and has a pillow in the shape of Hello Kitty’s face (I told you Hello Kitty should make it onto just about every list). That will set you back $31,660.
Doggie Mansion
If that’s still not enough space, build your pooch a doggie mansion. The one Cincinnati Bengals quarterback Carson Palmer commissioned for his three dogs is 50 square feet with a mahogany hand-crafted front door, 7 foot ceilings, slate floors, air conditioning and designer furnishings, including a plasma TV and DVD player. All yours for $25,000.
Zitomer Z-Spot Three Dog Bakery event
Celebrate a milestone in your pet’s life by throwing it a Bark Mitzvah party, Sweet Sixteen or Muttrimony. Catered pet parties start at $10,000.
Chien Coature Fall Flowers Coat
When style is important put your dog in a buttery-soft two-layer Italian lambskin coat with appliqué flowers and finished with Swarovski elements. Just don’t let her roll around in the mud while wearing the $350 thing.

It’s not so ridiculous if you actually know anything about flying pets in cargo. There have been many incidents where pets have been injured or even killed when flying in cargo. A neighbor’s dog flew cargo and now has permanent hearing damage. Flying cargo is just not safe for live animals.
Another thing to note, you can only fly pets in cargo when the temperature is above 45F and below 85F (75F for cats) so if you need to fly your pet somewhere, say, if you’re moving, you’re out of luck if it’s summer or winter (or a chilly fall) in either destination.
