SINGAPORE : Lunar New Year sees some pampered pooches being
dressed up in their best for the festivities.
A traditional cheongsam top comes in small, large and medium.
They are not for toddlers but for the family pet!
"What? This is for a dog?"
"For a dog? Dogs wear clothes?"
All this canine finery comes from Canada, Korea and the United
States - and each outfit can cost up to $50.
And if you don't think your pooch is pampered enough, you can fork
out some more for sparkly collars and hair clips.
Ms Alicia Seah, Owner of PetzStuff, said: "Nowadays we look upon
them as our own children, so we pamper them a lot, so we want them
to celebrate the festive season with us so we bring the clothes in
for Christmas and New Year.
"I would say our market is quite good, similar to the ones in Japan
and Korea. Because we really dote on them like they are part of the
family. I would say dogs in Singapore are really more fortunate
now."
Some of Alicia's customers have even spent up to $200 getting their
pups ready for the Lunar New Year. - CNA
