description: Sister and brother team Lori and Ryan Pacchiano founded High Maintenance Bitch in 2002. Their goal was to create a line of fashionable clothing, accessories, furniture, grooming products, and more for the chic canine. The Pacchianos’ success uncovered a previously unnoticed obsession among socialites — and socialite wannabes — with making their four-legged companions as stylish as they are. Utilizing their fashion and humor sensibilities, the authors have prepared this witty guide to raising a poufed-up pup. It’s all here, including how to accessorize Fidette and learning commands in different languages, to how to maintain one’s own fabulousness while cleaning up “twinkle sparkle” (their terminology), to using Princess as a date facilitator for that handsome hunk. Practical information filigrees the fun, whether it’s instituting a slimming “Rex-ercise Regimen” or training her to keep her cold, wet nose out of people’s “business.” Included are more than 100 illustrations inspired by fabulous fashion website DailyCandy.
