Dog accessories are selling well despite financial downturn in the rest of the economy.
Feb. 25 (Bloomberg) -- The recession is little deterrent for Los Angeles residents who insist on body wraps, massages and aromatherapy -- for their dogs and cats. “I definitely would first stop coloring my hair before not taking my dogs to get pampered,” said Adriana Merida, 36, owner of two Havanese named Otis and Zoe. She takes the dogs to members-only The Club Beverly Hills, where they can partake of yoga, Jacuzzi soaks and kosher meals.
But what's really amazing is that there is a demand for artificial testicles (neuticals) that run for up to $1,200.
Quoting the article: “You would assume that with people losing their homes and jobs, the last thing on their mind is buying a pair of fake testicles for their pets,” Miller said. “Folks in California love their pets and are trendsetters. They’d do anything for them, no matter what the economy is doing.”
