Their A-list celebrity parents share the spotlight with their pups and spoil them rotten with with doggy spa days, photoshoot­s and pet houses we can only dream of.

Meet Peter Pan, Prince Hilton and little sister Princess Paris Jr Hilton. These siblings love posing with their mommy, Paris Hilton, and each has their own instagram account with a following of over 35 000 each.

Forget about kennels for these pooches and instead imagine a 3.6m high two-storey mansion fitted with air conditioni­ng, heating and designer furniture. Top that off with beds, feeding stations, their own fenced in garden and tree for their toilet needs.

The Hilton pets, as they’re affectiona­tely known, enjoy hanging out with mom and you’ll most- ly find them in matching outfits that co-ordinate with mom’s.

Apparently Norman and Bambi Jenner are the most famous pets on Snapchat, thanks to their celeb mom, Kylie, who is dubbed the queen of Snapchat with her 30.2 million followers.

The Italian Greyhounds have their own bedrooms, are fed an organic diet and enjoy regular pamper sessions. In 2016, the Secret Life of Pets creators, created cartoon versions of the pups to star in the movie.

Head of design at Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld, has a Birman cat Choupette, who made her first media appearance in 2012 with her own Twitter account @choupettes­diary. Her owner has since painted her as the Steve Jobs of the cat world, exclaiming that she even knows how to use an iPad (Lagerfeld once posted a picture of her pawing the screen).

Since then, she has appeared in many photoshoot­s with top models. Choupette has two maids and an on-call vet.
