Pets are one of the greatest joys in life. There\u2019s nothing better than an excitable dog or indifferent cat to welcome you home after a long day. My loveable cavapoo, Stan, accompanies me to the office sometimes and even joins me on photoshoots! The only real downsides are\u00a0the cost of pet-ownership and the sheer amount of\u00a0stuff\u00a0pets tend to accumulate; beds, toys, food bowls, toys and blankets. Unfortunately, much of this stuff is badly designed; both aesthetically and functionally. Pet supplies are often made of plastic or cheap fleece and tend to fall apart at the slightest hint of misuse. When you\u2019ve spent time and money creating a beautiful home, tatty pet toys sprawled everywhere ruins the effect somewhat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, there is a plethora of stylish pet supplies available\u2026 if you know where to look. I\u2019ve created a list of some of the best, and chosen these based on pet-friendliness (the most important factor), longevity and style. Here are my picks for chic pet supplies:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Chic dog bed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jual have created a stylishly designed dog bed featuring a sleek walnut veneer curved frame and plush charcoal, removable cushions. The cushions are both cosy for your pet and practical for you, being easy to remove with fully washable covers, ensuring a clean and inviting space for your furry friend. Ideal for adding a touch of elegance to any home while providing a perfect resting spot for your pet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marble Pet Bowl<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

These marble pet bowls don\u2019t just look great (and go perfectly with your marble kitchen worktops) but they work hard too. The weight of the marble makes the bowl difficult to overturn and, most impressively, it keeps food and water cool \u2013 even on warm days!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pebble Cat Bed<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

Mungo & Maud have created this cave-like bed for your elusive feline friend. We all know how much cats love hiding in boxes, and this is a much cosier (and better looking) alternative. Made from heavy duty dark grey felt it\u2019s practically indestructible too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sherpa Blanket<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

Blankets are a must-have for pets that insist on sleeping on sofas and beds. They\u2019re also useful for keeping muddy paws off car upholstery. This soft blanket has a modern herringbone design on one side, is reversible (with cream fleece on the other side), and can be machine washed. Win, win, win!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Squeaky Bone Toy<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

Good looking pet toys have been quite hard to come by, and honestly? It doesn\u2019t really matter how they look, as long as your pet loves them. Keeping pets thoroughly entertained with plenty of different toys prevents boredom and subsequent bad behaviour. That said I do like the design of this squeaky bone toy by Mutts and Hounds.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ombre Cat Food Bowl & Saucer Set\u00a0<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/a>

And finally, some ultra stylish food bowls for your cat. Inspired by the charm of Mediterranean kitchens, this durable stoneware set is designed with both elegance and practicality in mind. The 13cm bowl is ideal for serving water, while the saucer, standing at just 3cm high, is thoughtfully crafted to prevent whisker fatigue – a common discomfort caused by sensitive whiskers pressing against bowl walls. This ensures your cat can dine and drink comfortably every day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s all for my round-up of stylish pet supplies. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
