They can go to pool parties, spend a luxurious afternoon getting groomed and pampered, choose their favourites from a list of gourmet dishes, and have the time of their life at an exclusive getaway. While a few still struggle and survive on the scraps spared by passing pedestrians, and others find themselves frightened and alone, abandoned by owners there are some lucky pets who do get their due — and the city has on offer places and facilities that try to make life for you and your pets easier, safer and much more entertaining.

The number of people who can, and want to spend good money on their beloved pets slowly find themselves spoilt for choice, the list of pet-friendly getaways, bakeries, event management companies and shops growing at a rapid rate. While Doggie Dabbas offers home cooked meals exclusively made for your pets, Heads up for Tails offers a line of customised products, and Party Barky Hai claims their services as Canine Entertainment Specialists. meanwhile Dogs Day Out brings together owners and pets for specially organised picnics. Of course, all of these cost, and in no small way. But if you can spend, and are willing to spend on your pets and bring them joy, there are innovative ideas and opportunities to help you do exactly that.
