Everyone wants an animal companion to call their own or to keep them company from day to day. Pets make our free time all that more special. However, if you’re committed to living a luxury lifestyle, you’re going to want a pet that matches.
Every pet serves a different purpose. Furry friends often keep you warm and entertained, while rare exotic birds to add to your impressive collection. Or perhaps you want a colorful fish that lives in an artistic five-star habitat that will dazzle all your friends.
Whatever the situation, you’re sure to find the luxury pet that suits your specific needs. To get you thinking, here are four luxury pets that are gaining popularity among elite pet owners.
This breed of dog, originally from Tibet, looks similar to a big, fluffy St. Bernard. Not only are they fuzzy and cute, but they come with an impressive price tag, with puppies selling for up to $4,000. Talk about a luxury dog!
The Tibetan Mastiff is a wonderful companion to have as a house pet, but this breed is quite well suited to service dog training as well. There are many different types of service dogs that fulfill different needs. If you have any needs that could be met by an animal helper, why not have your Tibetan Mastiff trained and registered as a luxury service dog?
The Irish Thoroughbred is one of the most sought after breeds of horse in the world, known for its superior quality as a racehorse. The desirability of these impressive animals gives them a hefty price tag as well, adding to their luxury appeal.
Becoming a horse owner is also a gateway to equestrian sport and activities, which is considered a very high class and respectable hobby among elites.
Before you decide on a horse, you need to realize that taking care of one requires a lot of time and effort. You want to house them with a proper stable to live in and groom them regularly. They also need to be shoed and exercises on a regular basis (usually be an experienced team of paid staff). If these extra requirements don’t scream “luxury pet”, we don’t know what does!
You probably didn’t see this one coming since an octopus for a pet may seem a little strange. This animal certainly isn’t the first thing that comes to mind when thinking of a loving companion to add to your family. But octopi are actually quite intelligent creatures, and the novelty of being such an uncommon household animal makes them great luxury pets.
Any sea creature will require a specialty habitat, such as an aquarium or fish tank, and that certainly gives you as a luxury pet owner room to get creative. Welcoming an octopus into your family presents the opportunity to commission an artful, avant-garde aquarium to amaze all of your house guests.
If you are an avian enthusiast, collecting and caring for rare and exotic birds is certainly a viable option for a new hobby. The harder the species is to find or the less commonly it is found as a household pet, the more it will fit perfectly with your luxury lifestyle.
Some respectably rare and coveted bird species include the Puerto Rican Amazon, the Blue-throated Macaw, and the Sulu Racquet-tail. Remember that some birds will require a special habitat so do your research before welcoming it into your home. You want your luxury pet to be as comfortable as possible in their new home.
No matter what kind of creature catches your fancy, or what your reasons are for seeking out an animal companion to add to your household, there is sure to be a pet out there that fits into your luxury lifestyle. Go see what exotic pets are waiting to be adopted into your family.
