Pets mean pampering at Paris Animal Show
Owners will stop at nothing to get the best of pampering for their pet and the Paris Animal Show had perfumes, beauty serums, cushions and scratching mats – plus hemp-based treats, and treatments to calm animals’ moods and ease their pains.
Owners spend €4.8billion a year so there was no shortage of exotic trends, with cat cushions of yak hair and wool, giant letters with scratch pads, or a kangaroo pouch for pooch.
The exhibition included demonstrations and the biggest cat show in Europe.
