With tales of indulging precious pets with fine dining experiences, we were inspired to find out what other luxuries have been enjoyed by some of the world's most pampered pooches. From designer doggy wardrobes to lavish spa treatments, read on to discover how some lucky canines live a life of luxury.
President Franklin D. Roosevelt’s Scottish Terrier, Fala
Considered one of the most indulged pets in White House history, FDR's dog, Fala, a Scottish Terrier, enjoyed a life of luxury.
He slept in a special chair at the foot of FDR's bed, received a daily bone on the president's breakfast tray, and was adored not only by FDR but also by White House staff. He even received his own fan mail and accompanied the President on trips all over the world.
Leona Helmsley’s Maltese, Trouble
Trouble, the little maltese who was the cherished companion of the late hotel heiress Leona Helmsley, had its own limo and wore a diamond collar.

Helmsley bequeathed a staggering $12 million to her beloved four-legged friend, which was just as well, because maintaining the dog's exquisite appearance required an annual expenditure of $8,000 on grooming alone. Trouble also had the luxury of a full-time bodyguard, and an annual budget of $1,200 was allocated for the dog.
Paris Hilton’s Teacup Chihuahua, Tinkerbell
While many celebrities, such as Missy Elliot and Lady Gaga, are known for pampering their pets with designer outfits, Paris Hilton’s little teacup chihuahua takes the biscuit – she’s been given her own book!
Tinkerbell showcased her literary flair by "ghost-writing" The Tinkerbell Hilton Diaries: My Life Tailing Paris Hilton.
She looks the part too, with Paris Hilton dressing her in pink Chanel sweaters, Louis Vuitton puppy slippers, and her preferred mode of transportation: being stylishly carried around in Hilton's purse or in a blanket.
Mariah Carey’s Jack Russell Terriers
Not only are Mariah’s pooches pampered with a weekly spa treatment in Beverley Hills, they are also said to have their own chauffeur and follow the pop sensation in their own personal jet if they’re not allowed to accompany her on flights.
