Americans are spending more on their four-legged friends than ever before, with expensive dog food, high-design spaces, and ‘barkitecture’ becoming more popular. As many new homeowners take their pets into account when purchasing property, how is pet ownership affecting our homes and living spaces?

The pandemic has caused significant changes to Britons’ relationship with their pets – from the use of tech to alleviate separation anxiety to the rise of sustainable pet food. Canvas8 spoke to eight pet owners from across the UK to understand how their concerns and expectations have evolved.

Hugo Boss is set to release a line of apparel and accessories for dogs in partnership with the Kanine Group. The collection further integrates the brand into buyers’ lifestyles, banking on pet owners increasingly viewing themselves as parents and investing in their furry friends accordingly.
