After Dark: Pets Enjoy the Night Scene

Pets are fast becoming part of the nighttime social scene. With celebrities in Los Angeles, New York City

 and Miami toting their furry companions wherever they go, it’s evident that pets like to socialize, too. Businesses have followed suit. Many clubs and restaurants are starting to open their doors a bit wider, to make room for these special guests of the four-legged variety.

 

After Dark
Instead of hiring pet sitters, some owners have decided to take their canines out with them as they paint the town. To the club, the restaurant, or the outdoor theater — it’s about quality time with your pet in ways not available before.

Thanks to stylish pet carriers and accommodating on-site services, many pets have stepped out into the night scene (dressed to the nines of course), with their human companions relieved for having them close. It’s a win-win situation for all. An inspiring one, too.

A perfect example of pets after dark is SkyBark, a rooftop club in Los Angeles that caters to dogs and their owners. Past events have included themed soirees as well as the release party for Marley & Me. The hotspot caters to the pampered pooch and owners are clamoring for an invite.

Special Occasions and Holidays
Special occasions and holidays have always included pets, and part of the fun is decking them out in their finest threads. These are the occasions where formal wear and eveningwear often make an appearance; where fabrics like satin and velvet are commonly worn.

Examples include:

· Weddings: Many pet owners wish to incorporate their pets into the ceremony or include them in pictures. For such occasions, there are pretty satin dresses and smart-looking vests.

· Halloween:  One of the most popular times of year, Halloween gives everyone a chance to dress up. In recent years, this has become especially so for pet owners, as pet costumes have become even more inventive and fun.

· Christmas: Festive is the key word for this holiday, with pets dressing up in costumes (like reindeer or Santa Clause), as well as formally for the family portrait. Warm sweaters and coats, not to mention scarves and hats are the big sellers during this joyous season.
