It’s a dog’s life for our furry friends in the UK, with the pet gift industry now nearing an incredible market value of around £3.5 billion a year!
If your pooch or mog is way too cool for any old junk, there’s sure to be something to suit from a range of designer pet pressies…
The pet doorbell, £24.99
Spare your four-legged friend the humility of having to scratch away at the backdoor with this dinky paw-pad connected to an indoor bell. More.
Designer shampoo, £4.99
For that ‘just stepped out of a grooming parlour’ shine, indulge your pet with this range of shampoos and conditioners from Greenfields. Choose from pH balanced or tea tree oil for the more sensitive kittie, or the lavender wash for the pup who loves to smell good. More.
Party collars, from £18
Once in a while a pet needs to feel special. So why not splurge on a party collar to match your dog or mog’s individual character. Is yours a punky puppy? Then go for the studded collar. Is your whiskered pal more of a disco chic? Then the glitter neckpiece will go down a treat. More.
The Louis Vuitton Collection, prices vary
For the ultimate designer treat, select from Louis Vuitton’s limited range of printed collars, leads and pet carriers. Before you splurge it’s worth checking eBay, where the range frequently crops up at bargain prices. More.
Whiskas Cat Bed, £29.99
Cats love to cocoon themselves away for a snooze. So it’s a wonder that more cat beds don’t provide overhead cover. This one does just that, as well as coming with a faux fur sleeping mat and a wipe-down surface. More.

The Dog House, from £200 (pictured above)
For the furry friend to whom form is as important as function, British designer Michael Young’s modern take on the kennel comes in tangerine orange for the outgoing, or slate grey for the understated pet. The entryway is decorated with a brass plate emblazoned with the Latin slogan amicus fidelis protectio fortis (faithful friend, strong protector) or a personal welcome of the pooch’s choice. The raised design provides shade on a hot day while the hood keeps out the rain. A stepladder facilitates the vertically challenged canine. More.
