The New Era of The Pet Industry

With the rise of Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie, and probably a couple years before, the pet industry has transformed from the simple vet visit and doggy treats to pet spas, pet boutiques and doggy beds that resemble the bed of King Henry VIII.  
New products, services, and fashion has developed to turn our furry friends into furry family members. Like never before, our pet(s) are now included in our family photos.

 Here are some services, products, and fashions that have saturated the new pet industry.

Cute Clothes for A Cute Pet 

 We've heard about them, we've seen the styles on famous pups such as Bit-Bit (Britney Spear's Chihuahua), Tinkerbell (Paris Hilton's Chihuahua) and Foxy Cleopatra (Nicole Richie's Pomeranian). We thought only celebrities' dogs could wear such attire, but low and behold our pups can dress this way too! Some websites that provide beautiful fashion are http://www.pawprintsshop.com/ "Where Fashion Meets Fur"
and my favorite, http://dogpetboutique.com/shop/index.php?cpage=welcome
