Harriet Birch, from Harrogate, North Yorkshire, is the proud owner of a squad of five sausage dogs that have a huge fan following.
This dog squad has 32,000 followers on their Instagram page, @_sausage.squad_.
She spends about £800 ($1,035) every month on clothes, accessories, photoshoots, treats, toys, beds, blankets, food and insurance. But she says ‘they are worth every single penny’.
The 25-year-old said: “They are definitely pampered pooches – they have so many clothes, accessories, toys and we do so many activities, they go swimming every week and they do agility every week too.”
“They have birthday parties where all their friends come and join them for celebrations, cake, and party bags.”
“Their wardrobe is bigger than mine – they have everything from matching denim jackets, snoods, bandannas to party hats and tutus.”
As a pro-dog-walker, Harriet is proud of her pack and likes to make sure they’re all perfectly dressed when they head out.
She said: “We often get comments when we go out saying how smart they look.
“They have a bath every week or so at the moment which is quite a timely process but they come out smelling of roses so it’s worth it.
“They rarely leave the house naked, they’ve got some pretty spectacular fancy dress outfits.”
The squad often look the same in terms of their dress, but Harriet said they’re very easy to tell apart because of their different personalities.
She said: “Missy is super stubborn, independent and obsessed with food, Button is ridiculously cute and loves everyone.
“Duke is a serious mummy’s boy and sucks up to me, but he’s mischievous on walkies and likes to go down rabbit holes.
“Ivy is very sassy, tries to be the boss and can’t get enough of toys and Apple is simply adorable, she’s been the easiest puppy I’ve ever had.
“In general, they’re super loving and so comical.”
