10 Posh Gifts for Pampered Pets and Owners

Doghouses don’t have to look like they belong in a "Peanuts" cartoon. These three abodes from celebrity designer Kelly Wearstler look more like pieces of fine art, although they are actually made of durable wood: Douglas fir (left), walnut (center) and ipe (right). Each house also features either Wearstler's signature burnished bronze kiss motif (left and center) or her burnished bronze sphere (right). And although each house also comes with a cushion upholstered in outdoor fabric, your dog will probably enjoy these more if you keep them inside your home. That way your pet can be warm, dry and stylish all at the same time. 

Kelly Wearstler Dog Houses, from $2,500 to $4,500.

Your kitty probably already observes you while you practice your sun salutations and Ujjayi breath, so why not give her a yoga mat of her own to enjoy alongside you? This feline yoga mat can be used as a scratcher, lounger and feeding station. Plus, there’s an attached catnip-stuffed toy made of sisal and natural twine for her to play with as well. Namaste indeed.

FelineYogi Cat Mat for Yoga Cat Toy, $24.99 at Etsy.

Add a little sparkle to your (or your dog walker’s) daily outings with this waste bag carrier made of solid brass and metal alloy. Cleanup won’t seem like such a chore when you gingerly pull a plastic baggie out of the dazzling golden carrier attached to your leash.

Bon Ton Waste Bag Carrier, $250 at Neiman Marcus.

Cat owners know that kitties can be a little finicky about what they drink their water out of. A lot of times, a simple bowl just doesn’t cut it. That's why you'll be tempted to gift your favorite feline with this gorgeous ceramic fountain. The flowing water may appeal to your cat, and the fact that it’s easy to clean will probably appeal to you.

Yellow Jade Petunia Cat Water Fountain, $169 at Thirsty Cat Fountains.

Everyone needs a little bling, including your dog. This handcrafted and hand-jeweled vegan "crocodile" collar comes in black or brown and features a row of three-carat hand-cut gems — either rubies or white sapphires — accented by one-carat white sapphires. Just keep in mind that your pup could accidentally scratch off and swallow the gems, so you should always supervise him when he’s rocking this spectacular collar.

Monarch Vegan Croc Collar, from $2,999 to $4,999 at Frontgate.

Would you describe your dog as dignified, noble and proud? If the answer is "why, yes, of course," then this fully upholstered dog bed is a must. Suitable for pups up to 30 pounds, this classic sofa boasts roll-style arms and a removable machine-washable cushion.

Melbourne Tufted Bed, $269.99 at Enchanted Home Pet.

We’re sure you have lots of balls and galas on your social calendar, so next time you or a fellow feline fan needs a clutch to pair with an evening gown, consider this cat minaudière from Judith Leiber. Made of Austrian crystals, this clutch is sure to turn heads — and will be the envy of every sophisticated cat lady out there.

Judith Leiber Couture Fluffy Cat Minaudière, $5,495.

Want to get something for your pup from a luxury brand without the sticker shock? This chew toy from Henri Bendel won’t break the bank — and it’s so cute, you might want to keep it for yourself (or give to a child). The canvas toy, which squeaks when chewed, should be given to only dogs who aren’t heavy chewers.

Henri Bendel Henrietta Chew Toy, $20.

You won’t find a zebra Pegasus mentioned in any Greek or Roman myths, but you will find the whimsical creature beautifully illustrated on this delightful Hermès silk scarf. Available in almost any color combination, this is the perfect gift for an animal lover with a keen imagination.
