What do you do (a little crazy) with your dog in New York?

Gone are the days when Médor slept in his hut and was rewarded with a chicken bone when he defended the house well. Today nothing is too beautiful, too expensive, too crazy for dogs. We want the best for our best friend and sometimes we spend lavishly. According to s a recent study on the Dogster site50% of New York households have a pet. Less than the national average. However, still according to this same study, they spend much more on their faithful companions than in other states. Better yet, they would spend a lot more in bridal salons than on their own beauty treatments! From designer toys to designer furniture, organic beauty products, spas and hotels with friends, dogs now deserve the same pleasures as their masters. Or even more… More and more places dedicated to them are opening in New York.
