14 Luxury Pet Accessories That Are Stylish, Useful, and Completely Over the Top

14 Luxury Pet Accessories That Are Stylish, Useful, and Completely Over the Top

Some pets really do live better than people. They get higher-quality food, more frequent trips to the salon, and even their accessories can cost more than the average person’s wardrobe. You may see a small dog in a stroller, wearing a gold collar, sitting in a carrier that looks suspiciously like someone’s designer bag, and suddenly your own lifestyle starts to feel a little basic.

Luxury pet accessories have gone far beyond the normal collar, bowl, and bed situation. Those things still exist, of course, but now they have been turned into full style statements. There are luxury pet beds for small dogs, designer pet collars, luxury pet bowls, fancy carriers, tiny outfits, expensive toys, custom furniture, gourmet treats, and even pet houses that look like someone put more effort into designing them than a real apartment.

So, here are 14 Luxury pet accessories that are, in theory, useful, often stylish, and completely over the top.

Quick Facts

Keep reading for the full list, but at a glance, this should give you a pretty good idea of how insane these items are. As for if any of them would be remotely worth it… that’s up to you.

1. Mink Fur Coat for Dogs – $725

Hartman & Rose once made a limited run of real mink coats for dogs. Maybe the good folks at Hartman & Rose are unaware of this fact, but dogs already have fur. But fur coats are never about need. They’re a status symbol to let everyone else know you’re a pedigree pup and not some flea ridden mongrel. There’s no mistaking who’s who when you walk Princess down the street in an authentic Mink Fur Coat. They still sell puffer jackets for dogs. While unnecessary, at least they’ll only set you back $49.99.

2. 22k Gold-Thread Pet Mattress – $3,000

On a modest blogger salary this writer has never been able to buy a brand new mattress, so it’s hard not to envy the mutt who sleeps on this $3000 22K Gold-Thread Pet Mattress. Originally the company that makes these makes them for humans at a hefty $30,000 price tag, but when one customer requested a bed for her Maltese the company realized there’s a market for pampered pets.

3. Gucci Dog Bowl – $680

As far as we know even the finickiest cats could care less what their Fancy Feast comes in, as long as it’s Fancy Feast. An yet, luxury pet bowls exist.

Now you can get luxury pet bowls made from ceramic, stainless steel, wood, marble-style materials, or personalized designs. Some come in raised feeders or full feeding stations that look like they belong in a nice kitchen. Or better yer, you can go with designer pet accessories.

With some high-end pet products, spending extra money can make sense. But when it comes to a dog bowl, there is no reason to think that a $680 Gucci dog bowl will work any better than a $5 one from the pet store. At that point, it is more about the owner’s taste than the pet’s comfort.

4. Dolce & Gabbana Dog Carrier – $4,745

A pet carrier is really just a bag with air holes, except that sounds a lot less glamorous than calling it luxury travel gear. Still, that has not stopped designers from turning the humble pet carrier into a designer dog carrier that looks more like a handbag than a place for a small dog to quietly judge airport strangers.

Luxury pet carriers can come with padded interiors, breathable panels, leather-style finishes, secure closures, storage pockets, and designs that look more like luggage than regular pet accessories. Ralph Lauren, Prada, Louis Vuitton, and plenty of other luxury brands have gotten into the designer pet game. Dolce Gabbana even has a pet carrier listed for $4,745 which is a lot of money for something your dog may immediately fill with hair, treats, and suspicious crumbs.

To be fair, a good carrier does serve a real purpose if you travel often with a small pet. But at this price, it should probably carry the dog, book the flight, and explain to everyone why your pet has better luggage than you do.

5. I Love Dogs 52-carat Diamond Dog Collar – $3.2 Million

Yeah we’ve seen snobby pets with diamond studded collars before, but none as excessive as the I love Dogs Diamond Dog Collar. Studded with more than 1600 hand-set diamonds on 18 K white gold attached to a crocodile leather collar. Honestly, this one gives the Heart of the Ocean diamond from the Titanic a run for its money. While this was a limited run and is no longer available for purchase, it is a notable footnote in diamond history, perhaps as the most ridiculous piece of diamond jewelrly not meant to be worn by humans.

6. Swarovski-studded Cat Flap – $1,644

Sometimes wearing diamonds isn’t enough. Let everyone who enters your home know who the king of the house is. Your cat deserves a regal entrance and what better entrance than this Swarovski Studded cat flap featuring more than 1000 Swarovski crystals? You might find the $1,644 price tag to be a bit too extreme, but what price can one place on getting into the king’s good graces?

7. Sexy Beast Dog Perfume – $65

Most of the items on this list take things that pets usually use and then they make it as luxurious as possible. This one takes a different approach and takes a luxury human product and makes it appropriate for dogs: perfume. After all your dog is constantly being judged by the other dogs based on the way it smells.

Formulated specifically for a dog’s sense of smell, Sexy Beast’s signature fragrance uses a mix of natural patchouli, mandarin and nutmeg oils. Don’t worry about getting your pooch the wrong scent because it’s unisex. Sure it’s far from expensive, but there’s no doubt that it still goes over the top. And of course, no animals were harmed in the making of this product.

8. Chateau Royale Cat Tower – $2,600

Dogs get a lot of attention in the luxury pet market, but cats are not exactly being forced to live like peasants. There are modern cat trees, wall-mounted climbing systems, stylish scratching posts, cat loungers, premium beds, and furniture that looks nothing like the old bulky carpet towers everyone pretended were fine in the corner of the living room.

The Chateau Royale Cat Tower comes to mind, at a modest $2,600. For that price, you might expect your cat to lounge there like tiny royalty. Unfortunately, this is still a cat we are talking about, which means there is a very real chance it will ignore the luxury cat furniture completely and spend the afternoon sitting in the box it came in.

9. Super Dog House with Plasma TV and Spa – $410,825

There’s a non-zero chance that there is a dog out there with a house more expensive than yours. Specifically, in Gloucestershire, where a man build a luxury dog home for his two great danes (even the richest dogs need roommates). It was originally valued at £150,000, which is around $202,000.

So how could a dog house possibily be worth that much? For starters, it contains a

10. Prada Nylon Dog Raincoat – $975

Dogs have been getting rained on for thousands of years and, somehow, the species has survived. But apparently survival is not enough anymore. Now your dog can face bad weather while dressed like it has somewhere far more important to be than the nearest patch of grass.

The Prada Nylon Dog Raincoat takes a practical idea and makes it wildly expensive, which is basically the entire point of luxury pet accessories. For $975, your dog gets a designer raincoat that probably costs more than the coat its owner wears when taking it outside. If there is one takeaway from this article, let it be this: if a luxury item exists for humans, a designer brand has adapted it for dogs.

11. Maeve 3-in-1 Dog Stroller – $600

While it may not be diamond-encrusted, any parent can tell you that a good stroller situation is surprisingly expensive. A solid frame, quality materials, secure buckles, and decent cushioning can go a long way in providing a comfortable ride, whether it is for your infant or your pet. The main difference is that one of them may eventually learn to say thank you.

The Maeve 3-in-1 Dog Stroller takes the idea even further by combining a pet carrier, vehicle seat, and stroller-style travel system into one very serious setup for a very small passenger. It is the kind of thing that makes your dog look less like a pet and more like someone being escorted through airport security by a private handler.

Still, it is not completely pointless. Senior pets, injured pets, tiny dogs, and pets in crowded cities can actually benefit from a safer, more comfortable way to get around. Some pets get tired quickly. Some cannot handle long walks. Some just need a secure place when there are too many people around. And some, apparently, need a full transportation system before they will agree to leave the house.

12. Hambone & Dogs’ Treats & Jerky Club – $650 (annually)

Some dogs are perfectly happy with a biscuit from the grocery store, but apparently that is not good enough for every spoiled little beast out there. Hambone & Dogs offers a Treats & Jerky Club for dogs who need their snacks to arrive with more ceremony than most people’s meals.

Lots of people may get treat or toy subscriptions for their pets as a way to subtly spoil them. But this is a bridge too far for most. Billed annually, it offers artisanally made dog treats as well as chicken jerky and special dog cookies.

13. Fable Pets Signature Dog Crate – $2,499

Dog crates are usually not the most glamorous objects in the house. They are practical, sure, but most of them still look like something you would rather hide in the laundry room before guests come over.

The Fable Signature Crate takes a different approach by turning the humble dog crate into actual furniture. For $2,499, your dog gets a sleek little private apartment that looks more like a modern side table than a place to contain an animal that once tried to eat a sock. Oh, and the bed is sold separately, which will set you back another $169.

14. Dog Tiara – $4.2 Million

Saving the best (or most ridiculous) for last, there’s this $4.2 million tiara. Unlike most items on this list, this product was never meant for sale. It’s insane price doesn’t come from a massive markup from a luxury brand. Instead, it’s the value of the items its made out of. This platinum tiara contains 250 carats worth of emeralds and diamonds. It was made by designer Riwin Jirapolsek for his own dog.

The piece took him two months to make. When considering time, effort, material costs, and rarity, this is clearly the most expensive item for a dog ever made… For now at least.

Luxury Pet Accessories That Take Pampering to Another Level

Dogs are a significant part of the luxury pet accessories market because they are always in view. They go out, ride in cars, sit in carriers, appear in photos, wear collars, play with toys, and become part of the owner’s daily life.

For this reason, luxury dog accessories cover a wide range of products. Collars, beds, carriers, luxury dog toys, bowls, clothing, grooming products, and travel items all fit here.

Owners also spend more on the things they can see. A collar, stroller, coat, or carrier adds to the dog’s appearance. It also reflects the taste of the owner, whether or not the owner admits it.

Luxury pet products are rarely just about the pet. They are about the person buying them, too.

How to Choose the Best Luxury Pet Accessories

Some of these products can actually improve your pet’s quality of life. Others are just a flex. So if you are looking to spoil your pet, start by asking what would bring them the most comfort, use, or joy.

In some cases, the expensive version will be functionally identical to the everyday. This is especially true of items like dog collars, food bowls, and outfits. These are the ones to avoid if your pet is the one you’re trying to treat, as they really only provide value to the beholder (AKA the owner). On the other hand, high-end beds, carriers, and treats can make a meaningful difference in your dog’s quality of life. If you only have room to splurge a little, this is the place to start.

If your pet does not like using something, it is not worth the money. If your dog hates wearing the cheap sweaters you buy on Amazon, do not expect it to hate one from a premium fashion brand any less. High-end treats might be another story, though.

It is also worth noting that your pet will not know these things are expensive. Pets are messy. They shed, drool, chew, scratch, spill food, and will not be any more careful just because what they are playing with costs thousands of dollars.

Sure, go ahead and splurge every now and then. Just make sure the pet can actually use it and feels comfortable with it.

Final Thoughts on Luxury Pet Accessories

Luxury pet accessories say a lot about how much pet culture has changed. Pets no longer just get the basic collar, bowl, and bed. Now they are getting designer-style carriers, custom furniture, gourmet goodies, fun toys, luxury pet strollers, and even entire little homes.

Several of these things make sense. Some are stylish. Some are just nuts.

But that is the thing about pets. People love them, and sometimes they end up buying things their pet may not need but may still enjoy. If the product is comfortable, safe, useful, or just makes the bond feel a little more special, that is probably enough.

The dog will still prefer the couch, though. Probably your side of it.
