Just like us, celebrities are crazy about their dogs. The difference is that they have hundreds of thousands of dollars to spend on their furry companions. Some of the extreme things celebrities do for their dogs are a bit excessive, but we'd probably do them too if we could afford it!
Celebrity pets have their own social media accounts, attend some of the hottest parties in Hollywood and even have their own chauffeurs. They dress in expensive clothes and their jewelry probably costs more than all of your accessories combined. Some of these pets are well-known, as they travel all over the world with their owners, while others stay at home with their dedicated pet sitters most of the time.
It's true, the world really has gone to the dogs. Most of us treat our canine companions like they are members of our family. We feed them the healthiest dog food, buy them the best dog toys that we can afford and make sure they are always cared for. Celebrities do the same thing; they can just afford a much higher quality of product than most of us.
