However, for some animals, the life of luxury goes even further. Devoted families have taken to throwing them parties for birthdays and other occasions, complete with cake, champagne, balloons and hats.The craze has also swept the celebrity world, with stars from Paris Hilton to Faye Winter showing their affection for their furry friends with expensive soirees.
Pet parties began in America but have started to become more popular in the UK- as party planner and teacher Lauren Girvan, 34, from Mitcham, South London, knows only too well. She tells OK! that she set up Let’s Pawty UK in 2020 during lockdown to host themed events for all kinds of animals- and that she has done a number of them since then. Lauren, who celebrates milestones with her own family and their dog, two kittens and tropical fish, started the business to give other owners the chance to do the same.
She adds: “We’ve owned dogs all our life. Whenever our dogs did pass away, we had a stage of grieving because they've been a family member as well and it’s a big shock to not have them there. “And I thought it'd be really nice just to mark their milestones a bit like you would with your own children, and just make it a bit more of a celebration.
