Why would you buy your pet a luxury gift? Well, let’s invert the question: Why not? When I adopted a stray, I thought I was rescuing her from the ghetto by giving her shelter. Instead, she rescued me right back and made a sweet home out of a residence. She’s a cat with loads of personality and sass, and there’s never a dull moment with her. She’s tested, but also grown my patience, immensely, and ultimately taught me that love can truly be unconditional.
Taking care of her taught me so much more about responsibility and it also holds me accountable for taking care of myself, better. She’s my feral child, and my emotional support animal. I’ve forgotten what life was like before her. I can’t imagine it. Paw-parents are often mocked because they humanise their pets. But I think it’s the other way around. Our fur babies make us more human and in doing so, we become more humane. For that alone, our emotional support animal totally deserves only the best for putting up with us.

PET BEDDING
Pet Bed Jason by Lord Lou
Made in the Netherlands, Lord Lou pet beds are handsome furniture pieces that are handcrafted by artisans.

Brooklyn Deep Sleep Cat Bed
This bed promises a night of calm and restful sleep for anxious felines (and pawrents too). To get that cloud-like fluffiness, each bed is reportedly stuffed with up to 40 per cent more Cotton Polyfill (which is hypoallergenic) than similar cat beds in the market. The bed uses a faux fur that is said to mimic the feel of a cat’s mother, while its oversized raised rim gives an added cocooning effect. The beds, which are reinforced to withstand a cat’s sharp paws, also stay cool in warm weather yet are toasty enough for when it gets chilly.
Maintenance is a breeze – the whole bed can go into the washer, then hang it out after, on the drying rack or toss into the dryer.
PET STROLLER
Ibiyaya Retro Luxe Pet Stroller 2.0
What must be the Cadillac of pet strollers – this vintage Victorian-style pram for pets has souped up modern features to make outings with your fur baby a walk in the park. Made by Taiwanese premium pet accessory brand, Ibiyaya, that specialises in luxury pet carriers that are handcrafted and boast innovative designs, this luxe model is ideal for multiple small and medium-breed pets, with a total carrying weight of 25kg.
It has a lightweight frame with adjustable handlebars, and a dual-entry canopy carrier that is secured with a buckle system instead of zips, saving you time and hassle. The canopy has mesh windows for extra visibility and airflow when it’s closed, and the carrier fabric is double layered for protection against the elements. There are also two safety tethers to safeguard your pets while on the move.
Its 360-degree swivel wheels means effortless movement, and a convenient one-button foot brake makes it just as quick to stop.
