The most pampered celebrity pets
We all have that one friend who’s crazy about their pet – be it dressing their pooches to the nines, feeding their felines with the most delectable goodies that even we don’t get to chow on very often, or simply making sure that they give their bunnies extra cuddles every day.
With the rise of social media, we’ve also started seeing more of these furry members of the family flood our feeds. Celebs have not abstained from cooing over their pets as well, with some of them posting more updates of their furkids rather than of their own lives.
These pampered pets are treated to everything from spa days to adventures in the great outdoors with the rest of their friends (both four and two-legged), and in commemoration of Love Your Pets day, we’re bringing you a roundup of our favourite snaps.
Desmond Tan ♥ Hoshi & Udon
Desmond is a celeb who has made known on numerous occasions how much he loves his furkids. Having adopted little Udon last March, the actor has also started a social media-driven initiative, The Blue Socks, to encourage potential pet owners to consider adoption.
He also sends them for regular spa sessions at June’s Pethouse, which is also a part of The Blue Socks initiative. Just look at their well-maintained manes - you know what we mean.
Biggest splurge: When he adopted Udon to be Hoshi’s younger brother. While the pair weren’t the best of buddies right off the bat, they’ve grown to be inseparable. Aww.
Carrie Wong ♥ Gege
Gege is a regular on Carrie Wong’s Instagram, and has even shot a magazine cover with her human. Carrie has also declared her love for her furkid on multiple occasions such as Gege’s birthday and even on regular days when Carrie feels like her little one has been channeling strength to her through tough times.
Biggest splurge: Spending her free weekends with Gege, because nothing spells true love more than giving your time to someone you love.
Elvin Ng ♥ Momo & Nono
Elvin might not update his social media feeds with pictures of his furkids Momo and Nono as often as others on our list, but that doesn’t mean that he loves them any less.
While not much is known about his furbabies, he’s had them for a number of years now and the pair look as happy as ever - and we’re glad to see it.
Biggest splurge: Elvin shared that he brought his dog to the park recently as part of the National Steps Challenge’s second season - we can’t think of a better way to get healthy.
Rui En ♥ Muffin & Mr. Meow-gi
Rui En was featured on SPCA Singapore’s social media platforms in September last year when she adopted Bingo (who has since been renamed Muffin), a kitten who was rescued from a glue trap. Her heart of gold won praise from netizens, who thanked her for opening her heart and home to a new life.
We hear that Muffin also has company at home in the form of another feline friend, Mr. Meow-gi, too.
Biggest splurge: Naming her furkids as one of her biggest source of motivation in her career, along with smothering them with all the love they need (and perhaps more) spells good fur-parent to us.
Priscelia Chan ♥ Twinkle
Priscelia Chan adopted Twinkle after a vet friend called her about an abandoned cat, and it we reckon it was love at first sight for her as she took the leap of faith after considering if she would be able to care for a new addition to the family.
These days, Priscelia wakes up to Twinkle demanding for hugs while lying on her back and with her arms stretched out - talk about a great start to the day.
Biggest splurge: Priscelia is a staunch supporter of adoption, using both the designated #Twinkleneko hashtag and #Adoptdontshop on all her posts that feature Twinkle.
Julie Tan ♥ Tinklebell
Julie Tan’s little Tinklebell is living the high life with her mummy. From spa days to going to the nail parlour (not to get her little nails done, though), she does just about everything that a pampered pooch would. Did we mention she (we mean Tinklebell) also has an enviable wardrobe of frilly dresses and cute outfits?
We also love how perpetually fluffy Tinklebell is, and if our experience counts, that must mean regular - or even daily - brushing on Julie’s part.
Biggest splurge: Julie started an Instagram account for Tinklebell, with a bio that reads: Celebrity Poodle. Point taken.
Rebecca Lim ♥ Ruffles
We were worried when Rebecca updated her Instagram account in January with a snap of a despondent-looking Ruffles with the caption, “Get well soon baby love”. Thankfully, we caught a glimpse of a much happier-looking boy this month.
Becks’ love for Ruffles - and all his fellow four-legged friends, has seen her voice her support for adoption for a special needs dog, and helping in the search for an injured stray.
Biggest splurge: We notice that Rebecca loves to take photos of Ruffles with flowers - it seems that she only wants to give her furry baby all the prettiest things in the world.
Pierre Png, Andrea De Cruz ♥ Oreo, Woofie & Cookie Monster
Pierre and Andrea have not one, not two but three little monsters at home. The trio feature regularly on both their parents’ social media feeds, melting the hearts of many with their adorable antics.
Oreo went through a spinal surgery early last year, and we’re glad to see that the little fighter has bounced back as good as new.
Biggest splurge: Having triplets at home is no mean feat, and this husband-wife pair’s dedication to love their pooches is indeed one of the highest forms of dedication.
Belinda Lee ♥ Man Man
Belinda adopted Man Man in October 2016. Fast forward half a year later and the ex-breeding dog has blossomed into a healthier and happier version of herself. Belinda’s love for Man Man has been echoed by the new addition to her family, whose warm welcome to Belinda when she returned from an overseas trip made us let us a resounding aww.
Biggest splurge: Showering all her love on Man Man, who has never known the warmth of a home before she met Belinda.
Nathan Hartono ♥ Nicky
Lest you think that Nathan Hartono owns multiple herds of pets, the only regular fixture on his Instagram apart from all the #ihartanimalz posts you see is this adorable, often unamused Shih Tzu, Nicky.
She is often (willingly or not) included in his posts, which range from a simple snap of her with his caption cooing over how much he loves her to his experimental posts, such as the one on the left.
This function of the Meitu app has amused us to no end, but Nicky’s “Can I go yet” expression is another priceless gem.
Biggest splurge: With all the dogs and cats that Nathan hangs out with, he could have paid less attention to Nicky, but his dedication towards his furry companion deserves a huge thumbs up.
Jolin Tsai ♥ Woo Hoo
Woo Hoo has been Jolin Tsai’s companion for the past decade or so. Be it going on picnics, traveling with his famous owner or getting an entire birthday cake for his barkday, Woo Hoo has definitely been pampered all his life by his mummy.
Biggest splurge: We honestly can’t pinpoint just one of the many times that Jolin has showered her love on him - or you could also say that her biggest splurge is her unconditional love for him.
Selina Jen ♥ Pinky
Selina scared her fans last July when she uploaded a black-and-white snap of her beloved pooch, Pinky, with the caption “I’m not ready yet… Please, my precious Pinky, give me a little more time (with you)”. She later clarified that her baby was getting on in age and as such started developing some health issues.
These days, however, she’s living in the moment with Pinky and has brought her little one on walks in the park and even virtual adventures, as seen in a hilarious set of edited pictures of Pinky in the dessert, the arctic, the Leaning Tower of Pisa and more.
Biggest splurge: While many of the pictures on her official Facebook page are with her famous friends, Selina always makes an effort to post pictures of Pinky, effectively declaring her love for her furkid to the world.
Super Junior’s Siwon ♥ Bugsy
Not everyone shows their love in the same way. Super Junior’s Siwon declares his love for Bugsy by posting the derpiest, most unglamourous shots of his pooch on a regular basis. Before you think that he’s poking fun at Bugsy, a large portion of his Instagram posts poke fun at himself, ranging from hilariously edited photos to unfortunately-timed shots.
Biggest splurge: You know what they say about best buddies doing everything together. In Siwon and Bugsy’s case, they also sync their derpiest moments.
EXO’s Chanyeol ♥ Toben
Chanyeol recently shared that he has a new addition to his family - the very fluffy Toben. The little puppy has since stolen the hearts of many EXO-Ls (EXO fans), who have also followed the Instagram account that Chanyeol set up for his pooch.
Biggest splurge: Revealing his beloved puppy to the world. We can already imagine the number of fans rushing to pick up similar-looking puppies, but please be responsible about having pets, everyone!
CNBLUE’s Minhyuk ♥ Ddadda & Chichi
Minhyuk’s pet cats, Ddadda and Chichi, could very well be as well-loved as the idol himself to his fans. As with all cats, their fascination with laser pointers has seen Minhyuk share a video of his cats trying their best to catch the elusive red dot, only to watch it disappear before their very eyes.
He’s also graced the cover of a Korean magazine with his cats, and shared on a number of occasions that he enjoys spending his spare time at home in the company of his feline friends.
Biggest splurge: Look at that bed that the cats share - we’re sure that it isn’t the only fancy thing that he’s bought for them.
