Luxury Dog Houses Once upon a time, dog houses were used as a way to get the dog out of the house, a way to keep that functional family pet where he or she belonged. No more! As pampering families seek new ways of spoiling their pets, custom-building a luxury dog home with all the trimmings is simply our way of showing our dogs how much we love them.

Puppies Through The Lens There's something compelling about the expressions of dogs captured through the lens of a camera. Sometimes goofy, sometimes wistful, the pictures are always heartwarming and a pleasure for dog lovers all around the world. Kim Levin is a New-York based photographer who specializes in pet portraiture. She is committed to capturing the essence and true personality of each animal photographed, and does so in a way that is guaranteed to make you smile.

Travel with Your Pet As the summer season approaches, travelers and their pets will vacation together in ever increasing numbers. According to a study by the American Animal Hospital Association, 67% of pet owners travel with their pets, an increase of 14% from two years before. While some people prefer to rough it and camp with their pets, the vast majority will choose from some 20,000 pet-friendly accommodations. Travelers should understand, though, that while pets are accepted, not all are welcome.

Luxury Homes For Pets Barkitecture is a tribute to the fabulous homes we silly humans love to build or buy for our beloved pets. Dozens of truly spectacular dog houses are featured in full color with details on their design, construction, and the dogs who call them home. It is at once a history of dog houses, a fun coffee table book, an inspiration for your own designs and a resource for those looking to have a doggy home designed for their pampered puppy.

Genetic Cloning of Pets?
Genetic Savings and Clone has made huge strides, funding the "CC" project resulting in the world's first cloned domestic cat (picture, right) and the Missyplicity Project, which hopes to genetically clone the first domestic dog. In time, they hope to be able to provide commercial cat and dog cloning to the public.

Celebrating Independence Day
Fireworks and apple pie... celebrating the 4th of July means a lot of great traditions, both old and new. Why not include your favourite dog in the festivities? Help your pampered puppy celebrate Independence Day and show off his love of his country with these flag-themed sweaters, collars and more.

Birthday Celebrations
Since this is (Pampered Puppy's “mascot”) Merry's first birthday, we decided to feature some birthday ideas for the pampered pooch. From dog birthday cakes to puppy party baskets, we scoured our resources looking for ways to make this the best birthday ever.

Trendy Threads
With summer approaching, it's easy to put away the dog coats and sweaters and let our little ones run around au naturel. But let's not forget that pampered pooches need style all year round! With Waggin' Wear, you can keep your dog in style 365 days a year. From sensible raincoats to quirky aloha and bowling shirts, there's a little something for every pooch in their collection.
