History of Pet Pampering | Duchess & Rex

From ancient Egypt to Instagram, pets have always been pampered. Learn how our love for luxury pets evolved.

From royal courts to modern lofts, pets have always been more than companions—they’ve been icons.

Ancient Egypt

Cats were sacred, adorned in jewels, and even mummified. Early pet royalty.

Imperial China

Lapdogs like the Pekingese were exclusive to royalty—hand-fed and silk-draped.

Victorian England

Queen Victoria’s beloved dogs sparked a trend in pet fashion and formality.

Today

Luxury grooming salons, chef-prepped meals, and yes—signature fragrances.

Continue the tradition.
Treat your pet to a scent that reflects their story.
