Celebrities can’t resist sharing photos of their four-legged friends and we can’t resist looking at them. These celebrities are known for an elegant lifestyle, high thinking, frequent pampering and beautification and are holders of rich possession. We, the commoners love our pets as much as they do. We do everything possible to keep our pets comfortable and happy forever. We leave no effort to consider them our family member. But some animals are just born lucky, perhaps with a golden spoon in mouth. They live lavishly like their owners do. But on the other hand, we are able to care for our pet on the basis of our affordability. That does not, at any cost, mean to fake our idealization towards them. All pets deserve to be treated like royalty, according to the standards set by their respective owners. Some pets live their lives king size, some live ordinary. The standard of living and the kind of treatment these celebrity pets receive is often better than how the normal humans are treated.
Fame is a fickle game which is why most celebrities rely on their trusty four legged friends for company. A dog is a celeb’s best friend and a cat her closest pal. These pampered pooches go with them everywhere- to work, to the park, to shows and even walk on the red carpet. From Kate Moss’s Staffordshire mix Archie, these stylish pups are the cutest and the most fun accessories to be seen with.

Imagine the level of treatment they are given. They just do not sleep under any bed or lie in a corner of the house. They have their own palacial doghouses to live in, custom made according to its need and wants. They are suitably made to fit in the dog’s size. They may even have automatic temperature controlled swimming pools to have fun in. Even a flat screen television set completes the decoration of their home. Personal trainers are available at their bark and growl. They have frequent visits to the pet parlour for massages, face masks and foot spa since these luxury pampering keep them healthy and fit. Travelling also happens in an incredible style. Air conditioned cars, private jets in the company of their affluent owners, five star cruise liners for overseas journey- these animals just deserve to live an extravagent lifestyle.
They say every dog has it’s day, but if its Paris Hilton’s pups, atleast it takes place in your very own private mansion. The fate of the other dogs is easily overlooked when you walk into the two- storey palace complete with a winding staircase, pink walls and a balcony to look upon the entire kingdom made exclusively for your pups. Paris Hilton has made it large for her Chichuahua. Her dog can relax on the leather armchairs and plush couches, or even sunbath by the poolside. And there are plenty of toys around to never get bored with. Hilton, the Hotel Heiress also keeps a pig and says that ‘She is not a princess but her pig, Piglette is.’ This famous celebrity has designed a range of accessories for her Tinkerbell. She feels so lucky to wear dog apparel specially tailored for her, therefore making her a world fashion branded dog. Paris is extremely possessive of her and she is usually found peeping out of the Socialite’s designer handbag sporting a channel jacket and shades. This dog lives in high style. Paris knows how to pamper her pooch.
Celebrities love bringing their pets to the limelight.

justin Beiber calls himself an animal person. But we may recall the international drama that unfurled when his pet Capuchin monkey was confiscated at a German Airport. Now the little unfortunate guy is living it up at a wildlife refuge. Immediately afterwards he brought a new flurry Bulldog puppy home. These star people take on to the different social networking sites, by snapping selfies and group pictures with them, all to show off their pets. Even within the celebrity world, the stars compete with the others on the more number of pets they can afford and the extent of lavishness they give to their animals.

There are instances where a celebrity has left half of all their property and inheritance to their pet’s welfare, instead of giving it to some other family member or a closest friend. The documents clearly state that those millions of dollars are in the name of their darling companions. After the pet dies, the remaining cash goes as donation to several charities.
Being driven around by a chauffeur, having a manicure and travelling first class are things we expect from the celebrities. And of the pet belongs to the rich and famous, it can also expect the same. Dog crazy diva singer Mariah Carey is said to spend an eye watering amount of 28,000 dollars a year to keep her eight pooches groomed to a Hollywood standard.

A celebrity life is usually more extraordinary than their non-celebrity counterparts. But there are many quality of life components that make up for a good life and being a celebrity pet doesn’t necessarily equal to a day to day existence of “Pawdicures” (pet pedicures). Just because a person is well known as a media fixture, doesn’t mean that their lives are perfect. It has its own perks. Similarly a celebrity pet does not inherently have a better life. We think that they are lucky to become a faithful companion of some rich person but the media has documented several circumstances where pets once bought or adopted are later carried along as a mere accessory, left in a confined place or even suffer neglect and abuse. A celeb’s financial capacity to look after an animal may exceed that of a normal person- extra care, health care, beautification, veterinary medical checkups, high quality food- but not every owner, however rich, has time for their pets. The veterinary care may come free with the paparazzi in the comfortable confines of their own homes as several celebrities want to maintain their anonymity and can afford a house call. Mire disposable income allows for other pet benefits like specialized care such as cancer treatment, dentistry, dermatalogy, internal medicines, Opthalmology and surgery which we might not be able to afford for them. The most expensive special offerings available for pooches is “I love dogs” collection of custom jewelled dog collars which makes them elated with joy.
Celebrity pets often have certain facilities that are seemingly unavailable to the ordinary pet but providing the best quality of life isn’t just exclusive to the cats, dogs and other species owned by the rich.

Celebs can arrange for a 24 hour help who can take care of the animal in their absence. This ensures that their pet is safe and he could rejuvinate himself in their company after coming back home from work. Many celebrities make the living arrangement of their pets at par with his/her own in fully serviced suits. The great amount of money and the copious overflow of ghastly richness and splendor showered on these pets make them popular enough to be celebrities themselves.
In the next segment I will talk about the really famous celebrities and their pets.

The post Are celebrity pets themselves a Celebrity? PART 1 appeared first on Pet Attack.

In the previous article, I spoke about how the pets of today’s celebrities have already made a highlight in the media world and glorified themselves.

The odds of being a celebrity are very slim. It’s not easy to make your place in the world of Hollywood and Bollywood. But those who have ‘one’ have already made it large for themselves. Being respected by name and reputation alone, turning heads as you walk down the streets, being asked for autographs; the public life of the famous seems glamorous and desirable for many of us. And we are even curious to know about their private lives.
Privately the celebrities are like us in many ways. Although they live lavishly and in well-serviced suits, without much of sweating and caring about their mounting electricity bills, the huge amount of money which they earn are willingly put into the service of others. Besides they love housing animals. Keeping pets has become a recent trend and among the celebrities it’s surging high.

Who would have thought Dirty Harry to have such a soft spot for a wild animal as inconsequential as a squirrel? Clint Eastwood’s best friend is a squirrel who lives near his office on the Paramount lot. Carrie Underwood, the country star always keeps her two dogs, Ace and Penny close. Tennis star ANDY RODDICK announced his retirement from professional tennis and then recently adopted a Bulldog. Mario Lopez spends his spare time swimming with his french bulldog, Julio. Julio’s twitter account has more than 3000 followers. Selena Gomez’s dogs may be from all different places but all the five are rescues, brought from the shelter, parking lot and even on location from a movie shot. The five pooches that found their way into the Gomez household, each have an unique story. Besides her own dog Baylor is already a grown up boy. TORI SPELLING and DEAN McDERMOTT, the reality star couple went a little exotic for their newest pets, choosing two ducklings. Taylor Swift’s cat Meredith is a famous feline. MILEY CYRUS was in some happy parenting practice with her dogs. In April 2014, she lost her beloved pet dog, Floyd, after which she gave away her another newly adopted puppy Mooney, revealing that she isn’t ready to give her heart away to another dog soon after Floyd’s death.

Our Bollywood celebs have always been in love with their pets. Stars talk about how their dog gives them unconditional love and how much they mean to them. They love to be greeted by a loving animal at the end of a hard day’s work. Koena Mitra is known around for her love for dogs. She is a proud owner of eight dogs, varying in breeds from Terriers to Poodle. She loves going on late night drives and feeding them Royal Canin six days a week. Salman Khan may be lacking in his love life, but he makes up for it with his affection for dogs. His first two pets, Bull-mastiffs, Myson and Myjaan, passed away, leaving him grieving for a long time. He now has two others, Myson and Mylove (quirky names, we know!) This bachelor maintains a dog blog and writes that he learns patience and forbearence from them. Their love is timeless and beautiful, which is the highest kind of love. Amitabh Bachchan, Big B, for him a big dog will suffice. Enter Shanouk, his precious Great Dane. Priyanka Chopra is a complete dog person. She loves her Cocker spaniel, Brando. PETA activist Shilpa Shetty has a perkingese dog called Champagne and two other persian cats.

Tushar Kapoor loves shopping goodiesand toys for his two dogs, Whiskey and Risky. The Badshah king Shahrukh Khan has four dogs. Dash( japanese chin) Hulk( labrador) Kai and Juicy( maltese). His pet dogs give him much solace. Most celebrities announce that having a pet gives them certain theraputic benefits, given the number of scandals and controversies they come across everyday. Sonam Kapoor believes in promotion of pet adoption. Her are pooches called Coke, Barcadi and Feathers. Yesteryear diva Rekha owns a dog named Shiva. Kalki Kochelin is the first cat person in the entire list and loves spending time with her kitty, Dosa, who she acquired from a stray animal shelter.
Animals and birds have also remained a part of movies and several small screen shows. They have outshone the leading actors but no award categories exist for them par excellence and their contribution to the film’s success. Famous dog like Tuffy, the Pomeranian, has now become a household pet name. Several classic animal themed films have been made. Pets are the truest and loyal friend of any man. They are adorable, cute and with a delicate personality. Every film industry has accepted this fact and from time to time have produced movies that have pet animals as their central character. Rin Tin Tin was a canine filmstar who rose to fame during the silent era of Hollywood. ‘Rinty’ as he was popularly known went on to star in 27 other films. ‘Hachi: A Dog’s Tale’ based on a real life incident got highly positive reviews. ‘The Ugly Dashshund’ is a film about a Great Dane Puppy, ‘Benji’ became a classic of its own type and narrated the story of a stray dog, ‘Scooby Doo’ is a popular detective dog of the animation world and ‘Snowy’ is a faithful Fox Terrier of the hero Tintin, a sought- after and a central character in every Adventures of Tintin series. We love watching ‘Stuart Little’ for the little mouse and his sheer brilliance, his love for his owners and the nostalgia associated with their seperation. And we do love the cat Snowbell for his evil yet good natured behaviour.
Animals have always been highly acclaimed in the celebrity world. They are respected and loved equally. They are considered a vital part of the human world, of human emotions and relationships. Nobody ever denies in considering them beloved. Hence, it comes without any doubt that the vigour and vitality of their styles and the impressiveness of their lifestyles are worth snatching the limelight.
