New range means owners can fashionably coordinate with their pet

Fashionable farm collies, stylish springer spaniels and bow tied beagles could be gracing the streets after the launch of the latest pet accessory.

Pet fashion firm Ruby's Regalia and Captain Creative also known as Dave Pop from TV's Choccywoccydoodah, have teamed up to make a range of bow ties especially for pets. 
Choccywoccydoodah is a reality TV show about a successful cake-making company based in Brighton and London.

Many on the show are animal lovers including head cake-maker Dave who loves to dress up his two pooches in bow ties.

So it was inevitable that he would work with Ruby's Regalia to make a series of fun pet bow ties.

The bow ties are made from silk with various patterns and finished off with high quality pearl and crystal necklaces while a human version has also been created so owner and pet can colour coordinate and step out in style.
Ruby's already supplies pet fashion accessories to celebrities including Steve Grimes from the band The Farm and Heart FM’s DJ, Roberto.

It also makes pet jewellery similar to that bought by Paris Hilton.

“We have a large range to choose from, but we are also creating bespoke designer sets for several celebs in Hollywood, so it’s going great!” Said Ruby’s spokesman, Brian Johnson.
