SINGAPORE – The Chinese New Year custom of “out with the old, in with the new” applies to pet accessories too.
Make the fur kids part of the festivities by pampering them with new furnishings or dressing them in outfits that match those of their pawrents.
Here are some items that will add festive cheer to your family.
Cat scratching post and pet bowls
Nothing screams Chinese New Year like the bright orange Tangerine Cat Scratching Ball ($65) from luxury pet brand Vetreska.
Made from premium jute, the scratching post is built to withstand your feline’s energetic play and is suitable for cats of all ages.
Tangerine cat scratching ball helps to maintain your cat’s nail health and directs the claws away from your furniture.

It also helps to maintain your cat’s nail health, allowing the claws to naturally shed outer layers and preventing them from becoming overgrown.
Not only does the compact ball make a unique home decor, but it will also direct the claws away from your furniture.
Keeping to the citrus theme, the Tangerine Ceramic Pet Bowl ($40) will add a pop of colour to your fur kids’ mealtimes.
Add a pop of colour to your fur kids’ mealtimes with the cherry, strawberry and tangerine ceramic pet bowls from Vetreska.
