Year of the dog

Heather Bieber

From Paris Hilton's Tinkerbell to Jessica Simpson's Daisy, pampered pooches are as fashion-trendy as the celebrities who carry them in tow. If you're wondering where to find the jewel-encrusted collars or leather jackets these famous pets show off so well, no fear. Vegas caters to all visitors, no matter what size or breed.


Check out Lush Puppy (Mandalay Place, 702-740-2254), a 1,000-square-foot pet boutique where posh pedigrees can find favorite labels such as Juicy Couture, Von Dutch, Donald J Pliner and Lancel. These designers lead the way in attaching their name to pet accessories and apparel. Lush Puppy carries coats, tees, hats, jerseys, boots and even feather boas. You name it, this boutique has it in the right size and budget.


If it's patent leather bags or gator harnesses you're looking for, then try Hollywood hound (Fashion Show, 702-893-2204). Fittingly situated in the great hall near the fashion runway, this one-stop, high-end kiosk carries Donald J Pliner's BabyDoll collection for small dogs 20 pounds and under. For the jet-setting animal in your life, coordinate a stylish travel jacket with an FAA-approved leather carrier. Or, make your baby's heart sing with an Oscar Newman hand-beaded Swarovski crystal collar or vintage-inspired sequined sweater.


Now that your pup is ready to pompously prance, isn't it time to update your outfit so the two of you can strut your stuff?
