would you buy a wig for your dog?

[Amby 490]

A California firm offers to perk up your pooch or moggy with a range of hairpieces especially designed for animals.

Sisters Jenny and Crissy Slaughter from Santa Barbara used to dress up their pets when they were children.

But after winning a 2007 doggy parade fashion show by kitting out their dog as a Playboy bunny they realised there might be a business idea in it and set up Total Diva Pets.

"For that year's parade, we really needed little blonde wigs for the dogs to play Hugh Hefner's blonde bombshell girlfriends. We couldn't find any dog wigs so we tried to use human wigs, but they didn't fit," Crissy explained.

"We came up with our own creative design for dog wigs that turned out so cute. People began asking us where we got their costumes."

Jenny says: "We realised that creating wigs made for pets was an unusual concept, and fun for everyone.

"Since then we have evolved and the company now offers eight pet wig designs, in five sizes, from Chihuahua size to Great Dane size."

Now the sisters sell $30 wigs with design ranging from an Afro to a green spiky punk wig.

Yes! How's the dog going to have a chance to use the condoms if he doesn't look good?

that's animal abuse

that's animal abuse

according to kittywigs.com is it not!

Question: Isn't this cruelty to animals?

Actually, no. We see it as a way for you to spend more quality time with your pet. It's an opportunity for you to show your cat something new and learn to introduce it with patience and positive reinforcement. It provides a very attentive experience and a chance for you to praise your cat and make a big fuss over her/him. Plus, hopefully you'll end up with some really fun photos! Remember, your attitude is key. And if your cat's not initially interested, don't force it.

i'd not call it that, although fashion abuse may well fit.

And people wonder why their dogs and cats bite them after so many years of loving care

They are NOT people nor children!
