To many, pets occupy a place in the heart comparable to that of children. They are cooed over and loved and tended to, as precious members of the family should be. Case and point? Eva Longoria is planning to let her Maltese follow her down the aisle in her July wedding to basketballer Tony Parker. The pooch’s piece de resistance at the Parisian party? A bejeweled collar custom inscribed with the lucky wedding date: 07/07/07.
So where can Angeleno’s get the hot haute for Fido or Lady? Try Fifi & Romeo Boutique on Beverly Blvd. Owners with smaller dogs will be able to find blankies, coats, carriers, accessories and other high-end pieces for their precious puppies.
The boutique itself is a treat. It is decked out in the most feminine candy-cane striped pink and has the feeling of a powder puff boudoir. Guests are treated to gourmet doggy treats while their owners are plied with fine French wine. The boutique has also recently increased its product offerings so customers can also browse lovely items for children, ladies and the home.

Just down the pike is another shop that caters to pets (both canine and feline) and progeny, 3rd Street’s Puppies & Babies. Rock star tees and punk collar charms are available for pooches, while kitties can be treated to a sulfate-free bath line. Kids’ offerings are all fun and modern, with pet-themed clothes and toys as well as “my parents are hip” togs like this “My First Headphones” T-shirt.
