Dolly Parton may be one of the biggest country stars in history, but outside of performing, the “Jolene” singer is also a devoted pet owner. Her love for animals (especially her French bulldog Billy the Kid) prompted the artist to launch her very own Doggy Parton pet brand, which is now available at Petco.
In case you needed an excuse to expand your Parton collection past Funko Pop! collectibles and her bestselling children’s book, you can now dress your pet up like the Coat of Many Colors singer — and, to sweeten the deal, most of the pieces are on sale.
The collection released in Petco and online Monday (Aug. 28), which means you can get your hands on Doggy Parton merch from a Parton-inspired blonde wig to a pink cowboy hat topped off with a tiara.
To celebrate the launch, the singer took to Instagram on Monday to share the news.
“@btkthefrenchie and I had to see it for ourselves! @doggyparton is officially available at @petco 🐾❤️” the caption reads, followed by a video of Parton showing off some of the items in a Petco.
Get your pup or cat all dolled up with some apparel and toys that will express just how much you and your pet love the star.

Olivia Rodrigo is a Katy Cat who might have a new kitty cat. In an adorable Tuesday (April 25) Instagram post, the 20-year-old pop star showed off a little feline using Katy Perry lyrics from “Last Friday Night.”

“there’s a stranger in my bed. there’s a pounding in my head,” the “Drivers License” singer captioned a photo of her under the covers. In this case, the “stranger” is a teeny tiny kitten dozing at Rodrigo’s side.
It’s not clear whether or not the feline belongs to Liv. Her close friends appear to confirm in the comments that the kitty’s name is Kumo — “Kumo hard launch,” wrote Courteney Cox’s daughter, Coco — and some fans theorized that Rodrigo shares the cat with longtime best friend and roommate Iris Apatow.
“Auntie liver,” Apatow commented, while one fan wrote, “liv & iris live together so maybe it’s both their cat.”
Because the people want answers, Billboard has reached out to Rodrigo’s rep for comment.
The singer has been keeping a low profile in recent months, aside from some appearances at the Grammys, the Vanity Fair Oscars party and the Billboard Women in Music event, where she presented Lana Del Rey with the night’s Visionary Award. In less than a month, it’ll be exactly two years since she dropped her blockbuster debut album Sour, which spawned two No. 1 hits, topped the Billboard 200 for five weeks and made the former Disney actress the first female artist to simultaneously chart 12 songs in the Hot 100 Top 30.
And while Rodrigo did possibly tease she’s working on a new project by posting a studio selfie in February, fans are getting super antsy for new music. “WE NEED AN ALBUM GIRL,” one impatient Livie commented on the star’s photo with Kumo.
“olivia hun i’m staving i need more music asap,” wrote another.

Kenny Chesney is using his music to honor his best friend. Chesney is releasing “Da Ruba Girl” — a song inspired by his dog Ruby — on Friday (Dec. 9). The song is inspired by his beloved four-legged pal, and was previously shared on his No Shoes Radio station on SiriusXM.

“I wrote ‘Da Ruba Girl’ about Ruby, because she was this spirit who had so many different pieces to who she was,” Chesney told People about the tune. “It was a fun song, and I’d recorded it, but never included it on an album. Instead we’d play it on No Shoes Radio, where it became a fan favorite. People loved the song, I think, because they all knew a dog who had the same kind of spirit or heart, you know, the kind who was an underdog, who wasn’t the obvious choice.”
To honor Ruby, proceeds from the track will be donated to Stray Rescue of St. Louis, a dog shelter whose “sole purpose is to rescue stray animals in need of medical attention, restore them to health, and place them in loving adoptive homes,” its website states.
“No one had a bigger, bolder heart than Ruby. I’m proud to say #DaRubaGirl will be available to download and stream for the first time Friday. All proceeds from the song will go to @StrayRescue,” Chesney initially announced via Twitter on Sunday.
He also shared news of the song’s release on Instagram Friday. “Losing Ruby has left a hole there are no words for,” he captioned a photo of his beloved pup. “Ruby was everything good, and in her memory, this is her way of continuing to give and bring love where it’s most needed.”
The sentimental country track sees Chesney reminiscing on the beautiful relationship he had with Ruby, singing in the first verse of the track, “You needed her, she needed you/ To hold, to help fill a space/ Last in line, last cage at the rescue/ Was a love that no one could replace/ Lying there like a lost string of pearls/ Was da Ruba girl.”

Snoop Dogg is here to make your dog the most fashionable pup in town. On Tuesday (Nov. 15), the “Doggyland” rapper announced the arrival of his pet line, Snoop Doggie Doggs, in partnership with SMAC Entertainment, Little Earth Productions, Inc. and Amazon.
“If my dogs ain’t fresh I ain’t fresh. These dogs and their apparel are a reflection of Tha Dogg himself, so they gotta look the role of a Top Dog, ya dig?!?!” Snoop Dogg said of the line in a press release.
Snoop Doggie Doggs has accessories for dogs ranging from pet harnesses, bandanas, hats, leashes and collars. Clothing is also available, and ranges from jerseys, hoodies and shirts. For dog lovers who wants their pet to live in the lap of luxury, silver and gold doggy bowls are offered in small and large size. And for owners whose pup is in need of another toy for their good girl or boy’s collection, three options on the site include a “Doggie Doobie” blunt shaped toy, a boom box toy that plays audio of Snoop rapping “bow wow wow, yippie yo, yippie yay,” and a steering wheel shaped toy inspired by low riders in Southern California.
While the line is primarily meant for dogs, cats have not been excluded from the rapper’s newest business venture — the brand’s official website, snoopdoggiedoggs.com, also feature cats wearing bandanas.
Snoop Doggie Doggs is available to shop on snoopdoggiedoggs.com and on Amazon now. See the first advertisement and a preview of the collection below.
