Woman spends £27,000 A YEAR on clothes, bespoke collars and even a dog-friendly kitchen for her three pampered pooches (but hides the receipts from her husband)
- Katy Harris spends an equivalent to annual income on her dogs a year
- She says that she and her husband Mark sacrifice luxury holidays so that Boston Terriers Sooty, Noodle and Beau can be pampered instead
- Katy has recently had a new kitchen fitted designed around her dogs
A dog-lover has admitted that she shells out £27,000 every year on her three pampered pooches - and she's even invested thousands on a new dog-friendly kitchen.
Katy Harris, 45, from Middlewich, Cheshire, splashes out thousands of pounds every month on her three Boston terriers.
The spoilt pups have a wardrobe crammed full of pricey clothes, bespoke collars and hand-crafted beds.

Katy has now added to her expense having spent thousands of pounds on a brand-new kitchen just for the mollycoddled mutts, with their own lounge and built-in wardrobes.
Katy treats the dogs so often she ends up hiding receipts from her exasperated husband, Mark, who she says is unaware of how much she spends.
The pooches are treated to the finest organic grub, served up to them by their loving mum who waits on them hand and foot.
Katy said: 'They're worth every penny! I love to spoil them - they only have the very best.

Katy adds she and her husband Mark sacrifice luxury holidays in favour of pampering the pooches instead
'I can easily pop out to the shops to get them one thing, and come out having spent more than £1,000.
'It's difficult to put an exact figure on it, I try to restrain myself, but sometimes I do get a bit out of control.
'I often have to hide receipts from Mark, or I just don't tell him - if he knew how much I spent he'd have a heart attack!
'He knows though really though - he just shakes his head and rolls his eyes.'
Katy adds that by not having any children she is dedicated on devoting all of her love to her hounds.
She continued: 'We don't have any children, so the dogs are like our babies.
'You do have to try and draw the line somewhere, but it's difficult - they definitely don't go without. I just think they deserve to be spoilt.'
Katy, who works for a bank, loves nothing more than treating Beau, Sooty and Noodle to the finer things in life.

The three sisters have hundreds of matching outfits and top-of-the-range collars from designer doggy outlets.
Katy and Mark, 60, have even splashed out on a new kitchen - just to make sure the dogs have enough space to relax in.
Katy said: 'We had a new kitchen put in and knocked through to the dining room so we could make them their own little lounge and their own space to chill out.
'We wanted more space for us too, but we always have the dogs in mind with everything we do.
'There are certain aspects of it, like the flooring, that we chose especially so it was dog-friendly.
'We also designed the utility room with space for all their clothes to go, almost like a little dressing room for them with built-in wardrobes.
'It might seem a lot of money, but it's worth it to us.'
Katy adds that she and Mark even sacrifice on life's luxuries themselves in order to give the dogs the finer things in life.
She said: 'Everything we do revolves around the dogs - we don't splash out on expensive foreign holidays, we always go somewhere in the UK that we can take the dogs with us.
'Some people think I'm a bit barmy, but they know that's just what I'm like.
'People call me a crazy Boston mummy, but it's all a bit of fun really and I like them to have the best.
'I love to dress them in matching outfits - coats, pyjamas, onesies, matching collars and leads, hats, bows and pearl necklaces.
'Everything needs to be co-ordinated, so we buy three of everything.
'Mark always says the dogs have more clothes than he does - and they probably do!'
Surprisingly Katy says that she thinks that this is the best way for her to spend her money.

She explains: 'If you've got to have an obsession with something it's a nice one to have - I'd only spend money on handbags otherwise.
'Boston terriers are just such fun dogs - they love life, they love everybody and everything. The three of them get on so well together, they're inseparable.
'They're full of energy, they love playing with each other and other dogs too. They've got such a massive personality in such a small dog.
'People might say I'm crazy - but as long as the dogs are happy and loved, that's all I care about.'
