In Hollywood, dogs can often be bigger celebrities than the people who own them. Just ask the folks at GBK who make it their business at every pre-award show gifting suite to make sure primo pet owners are exposed to the latest and greatest goodies and gadgets for Fluffy and Fido. And just as humans have Fred Segal, Barney's and Kitson to satisfy their every fashion and trend-based whim, four-legged fashionistas now have House Of Dogwwww.houseofdog.com to make them red-carpet ready.
The big draw at GBK's fete for the 2008 MTV Awards were House Of Dog's convenient carryalls for small dogs (and cats, as my own beloved Pepper will attest). These terrific totes, in fact, caused a near riot among prominent pet owners attending.
"We were swamped at the MTV gift suite," recalls CEO Shannon Miller. "It was great, but we ran out of product! All the celebs were freaking out. We even managed to get a bag to Britney Spears. Eva Longoria, The Girls Next Door at the Playboy mansion (Holly, Kendra, Brigit), Carrie Fisher and even Perez Hilton have our stuff. We are so excited! We just launched in September and already Hollywood is taking notice. It's unbelievable!"
Average carriers House Of Dog's bags are not. They represent the ultimate in cruelty-free luxury. Fashioned from high-quality faux leather, the stylish bags have even captured the attention of the Humane Society and PETA, who are looking into giving House Of Dog an official stamp of approval.
This week, one lucky winner and his or her four-legged friend will win a selection of pet-pampering goods, housed in one of Shannon's covetable carriers.
Winners will be randomly selected and notified June 16, 2008.
