In some parts of Europe and the U.S.A, many
pet
owners
see their cat or dog as a member of the family. In the UK,
owners
spend an amazing £4 billion annually of keeping their pets fit, well and entertained. In one survey, it has been found that up to forty percent of
owners
said they bought gifts for their pets, including Christmas and birthday presents. There are hundreds of retail outlets offer
pet
owners
a vast range of products. But many pets have everything they could ever ask for. The question for many
owners
now is: What do you give to the
pet
that has everything? We asked some
owners
what their
pet
got for his/her
last
birthday. The Phillips family from California, U.S.A, acquired “Beauty” three years ago when some friends moved away. ‘We didn’t really know much about dogs
then
, and at
first
we didn’t know what it would work out,’ says Sylvia. “But right from the start, she just made our family complete and the kids adore her. They are always finding new things to buy for her. She probably is spoilt but it is fun.”
Last
year, they got her a present they were really excited about: a necklace made of fake pearls which cost about $70. Claudette and Pierre live in Paris with their Yorkshire terrier, Mignon. Due to Mignon is a longhaired dog, Claudette says that it’s necessary to take her to the hairdresser regularly. “I take her to the beauty salon once a week to have her fur done. I don’t think it’s a luxury really.” They wash and brush her hair and sometimes cut and even curl it. On special occasions, like on her
last
birthday,
for example
, they pulled back and tied her hair up in a ponytail while the rest of her fur was cut short.
