More than half of Canadian households have pets, according to Ipsos-Reid, and specialty pet services are everywhere. Dogs now have their own bakeries, spas ... why not their own parties, too? Now, Dog Parties details everything on how to throw a posh pet party for your favourite pooch. Peek in on the hottest parties for high-society dogs-from Jackson the Norwich terrier's backyard spa party, to Lola the chihuahua's birthday party, to an afternoon at the art gallery viewing dog paintings at dog's-eye level. From what they wear (sunglasses, fresh-flower collars) to what they eat ("Dogiva" carob candies and "Dog Perignon" champagne) and where they go (a "pet-icure"), the parties captured in this book show all breeds of dogs at their funniest and photographic best.
