Man Spends Thousands Of Dollars Trying To Keep His Dog’s Hair Stylish Every Single Day

ADVERTISEMENT

Kevin Chan, the owner of probably the most stylish dog in the world, a three-year-old Afghan Hound AJ Nirvana Battle, has already spent more than 100,000 Chinese Yuan so far (15,000+ US dollars) and 6-8 hours per week trying to keep his pet’s fur fabulous every single day.

Chan says that Battle was already the most beautiful dog in the world when they first met each other, and he doesn’t mind spending time or money on his pet since he’s a family member. Battle is given regular baths every 7 to 10 days and his owner does everything by himself. All the grooming equipment cost Chan more than 100,000 CYN already, and he additionally spends 4,000-5,000 CYN (more than 700 US dollars) on bathing products every month.

The 29-year-old owner, who works as a marketing director in Beijing, even bought a camera and started taking photography lessons just to be able to capture his pampered pet in the best possible way. Scroll down to see this majestic dog for yourself. (h/t)

Afghan hounds are pretty dogs - but not the brightest lights in the chandelier. As for the money he spends, so what? He can afford it and it makes him happy. Some people spend their money on booze, others spend it on their gardens...and so on.

Shes beautiful, loved & well taken care of, nothing wrong with that in the least. If I had all the money I wanted to lavish my fur baby I would, I would love to go on trips and explore the world, unfortunately I can't afford vacations very far from home so we make do in life. I'm blessed beyond measure, compared to what some have. I see nothing wrong with taking care of of someone you love like this man's doing.

People do dumber/stranger things with their money, I guess. They both look happy, so that counts for something.

Just be thankful they're not spending it on alcohol or drugs or something. Also, the man earned the money himself, it's up to him how to spend it

Sure, that's a lot of money, but this is way better than somebody who gets this sort of dog and doesn't bother taking proper care of it. If you don't have this kind of money to spend on a dog, this type of dog may not be for you.

Yes, hopefully his dog gets exercise and plenty of fun for his putting up with all the grooming

It's bad for any dog's skin and coat to be bathed that often - unless they have a skin issue requiring medicated baths - beautiful hound though

As long as the dog is happy, then everybody should be happy! People spend $15K on all sorts of hobbies. At least this hobby benefits someone besides the owner, assuming the dog loves all the attention, and she looks like she does!

I was a handler for an Afghan Hound about 20 years ago. Video, video, and MORE video! Photographs just can NEVER fully capture the beauty and elegance of these dogs!! You simply MUST see them move!! And not coming at you, the way the owner did on his video). You've got to get them at a jog from the side! You cannot appreciate the breathtaking beauty any other way!

...and here I am waiting for springs/summer so I can get my Pomeranian's fur sheared off. X-D (It's okay, it is because she overheats easily, loves the feel of a short coat, and save me a lot of grooming time in the colder months when her coat has grown out)

I brush my cat for at least half an hour a day. Nice to see stories of people being kind to others or animals instead of all the negativity you read in the news. And for those saying he could have put that money to something else, it sounds like he has a pretty good paying career. Perhaps he does donate a lot to charity? Who knows. The guy loves his dog. And I think it's pretty sweet.

Battle is to dog pictures as Fabio was to romance novel covers. All wind machines and detangling combs! Don't get me wrong, I think he's a beautiful dog, he looks lovely.

I hope he's giving him plenty of exercise as well. Nice fur and good job taking care of it, but it's also a hound, not a lap dog, and needs bit more than just regular grooming.

Dogs aren't supposed to get baths so often. This dog might face some serious skin problems later on :/ And as nice as it looks, I've felt a bit weird when the dog posed as a human lady.

I have a German Shepherd with mid-long hair. And I know the struggle. The bath, the grooming, cleaning after hitting the streets(3 times a day)... And this one seems way more painful to me. Such money, such time, much pain.

Breeder ...and then you are going to be adopted by a man who has too much time and way too much money. Dog: Sounds perfect. Does he love dogs? Maybe I'll get a yard and some walks out of this deal. If I'm like lucky I'll sneak up on the bed once in a while. Breeder: Uh, yeah, something like that. Sign here. Poor dog.

It's his money and he's not harming anyone/anything. Are you saying that you never splurge or spend money on things you don't need and instead give it to starving people?

He could donate to charity....could give it to homless people....so many other good things..... Yet he goes and spends 15k on a pet who would be just as happy if he spent 20 dollars on it. ................. Why?
