Naonao enjoys the finer things in life. The 10-year-old Pekinese is slowing down in his old age so his owners brought him to a doggy spa for some pampering. One of Beijing's most luxurious pet spas.

It caters mostly but not exclusively to dogs, offering massage, styling, nails and fur colouring.

Liu Zhong, pet owner explained, "He is the real boss, the number one in my family. Eating, drinking, playing, he is the centre of everything, and our lives revolve around him."

From food to fashion, shampoo to shoes, all the accessories a pet owner could dream of can be found here.

Open for just a few months, dozens of customers have already bought pre-paid service cards which can cost upwards of 815 EUR.

Sun Ruowen, owner of Ruowen Pet Spa stated "I think people are spending more money these days, and more and more people have dogs, so I decided to open a top end pet store which offers luxury services such as spa and massage, and try to set a new standard for the pet beauty industry."

Owners who want complete makeovers for their pets like this one are rare, but nothing is too much for this parlour, if money is not an issue.

The panda inspired doggy-do in the video for a animal this size will take an entire day to achieve, and set you back as much as 245 EUR

"Owners usually tell us how they want their dog styled. And our motto is 'If you can dream it, we can do it.' There is no styling we haven't been able to achieve." explained Sun Ruowen.

As pet ownership steadily increases across the country, a wave of animal beauty salons are vying for new ways to attract clients, and brighten up pets' lives.

And for now, it seems there is nothing like adding a touch of colour to make these pampered pooches feel like top dog.
