Rating: 4 out of 5 stars - The Idea of This Book is Fabulous
As an interior designer, I can certainly appreciate the essence of this book. Pet parents will likely agree that cohabiting with a furry animal can present a myriad of design challenges. Ultimately, it's their home, too, and they enjoy the same sort of comforts that we humans do. Fortunately, the impact of another species in your space can be drastically reduced by smart, conscious choices of finishes & furniture and general layout/space planning. I have actually dedicated my design career to specializing ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Nice coffee table book
This book is a really unique book giving some pretty good ideas for co-existing in your home with your animal partners. It is a book for those of us who enjoy spoiling our animals and finding ways to make their lives just as comfortable as our own. It gave me a few new ideas, but otherwise this book is an account of how some people are already living in a home with their pets successfully. I like the hidden catbox under the cabinet idea and so much more about this book. It definately makes you smile when ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Great ideas
This book was conceived by someone who wants a well-designed home but has the extra challenge of animals that skid around on area rugs and eat leather couches. This woman has a lot of experience. Not just anyone can tell you that carpet tiles won't work with dogs because they peel up around the edges and that Ultrasuede is dense enough to prevent those spiny little short-haired dog furs from penetrating. This is expert advice, which is hard to come by in the world of interior design with animals, and it is ... Read More



Rating: 2 out of 5 stars - Vogue Interiors for Pets..Dissapointing
So I have a house full of animals, that for the most part get along, but I'm always on the look out on how I can do things different and how I might be able to change things in the house to accommodate this lifestyle. When I found this book on Amazon, it was a no-brainer that I needed it.

I was wrong. I really didn't need this book. Not at all. If you are looking for cheap snapshots of celebs and psudo-celebs posing with their animals snuggled down in their Gucci designed dog-bed, then perhaps ... Read More



Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Best Book I Ever Read about Living with Pets
This book is a real treat with color pictures throughout of dogs, cats, snakes, etc. at home. There are wonderful scenes of a dog owner in the bath with his dalmation, a dog in the latest Gucci dogbed and so on. Animals can be clean if their environment is clean and beautiful. It is wonderful to see these pets enjoying their homes with their humans. The book is also a useful guide to decorating your place to be pet friendly.
