Mariah Carey is splashing out £115,000 to send her dogs on a luxury holiday to the UK.
The 44-year-old singer is set to spend £15,000 on a lavish stay at luxury dog hotel The Paws Seasons in Bristol, South West England, for her eight lucky canines, and she is also forking out £100,000 on a private jet to transport her pampered pooches across the pond.
Mariah's dogs, who are imaginatively named The Good Reverend Pow Jackson, Mutley P. Gore Jackson The Third, Jill E. Beans, Pipitty Jackson, Cha Cha, Jackie Lambchops, J.J. and Squeak E. Beans, will be treated to various luxuries, including personalised meals cooked by a chef and their own hotel beds during their stay.
An insider said: "They'll be washed, groomed, taken on day trips, sleep in their own hotel beds and the chef will cook them personalised meals, according to a menu plan Mariah's sending over.
"She's even spending £100,000 to charter a private jet to the UK for their luxury break."
The dog hotel usually charges owners around £60 a day but they were more than happy to order in some extra organic steaks to suit Mariah's pooches' expensive needs.
The Paw Seasons told heat magazine: "Most of our guests arrive with a good supply of their usual food, but if [clients] want us to order in a couple of juicy organic steaks, we'll organise it."
Mariah's big spend on her canine vacation is unlikely to come as a surprise to her pooches as it was recently revealed the singer - who has three-year-old twins Moroccan and Monroe with husband Nick Cannon - splashes out £28,000 a year getting her dogs groomed.
The star - who is worth around £290 million - pays for her pooches to have special animal treatments to ensure her four-legged friends are always looking their best.
A source said at the time: "Mariah pays for all the spa therapies herself and doesn't expect any special treatment. Only her dogs get that."

Ariana Grande has split from her boyfriend.
The 'Problems' singer - who was recently left devastated by the death of her grandfather - has ended her relationship with Jai Brooks for the second time, reportedly because he hasn't been very "supportive".
A source told Us Weekly magazine: "It has not been an easy few months.
"Jai just wasn't as supportive as he could have been."
Yesterday (04.08.14), the 21-year-old beauty posted a cryptic message on her Twitter page alluding to the fact some people hadn't been there for her while she grieved her grandfather - who she described as the "only [loss] that truly mattered."
She wrote: "You learn a lot about love, life and the people around you during a time of crisis.
"July was painful for many reasons but of all the personal loss I suffered last month, the loss of my grandfather, a true gentleman, was the only one that truly mattered.
"I thank everybody who was here for me when I needed them as the ones who weren't really broke my heart."
The 'Bang Bang' singer is now looking ahead to the future.
She concluded her lengthy post: "August is about to be a beautiful, beautiful month. Looking forward to all the good coming up."
The source added: "She's gearing up for her album release so she's focused on that."
Ariana and comedian Jai first dated in August 2012 and were together for around a year before separating, reconciling earlier this year.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has credited boyfriend Jason Statham with keeping her grounded in Los Angeles.
The supermodel has praised her 'The Expendables 3' actor beau for keeping her feet on the ground. Both Rosie and Jason grew up in England and she believes this has helped them survive living in Hollywood.
Talking in the September issue of Harper's Bazaar magazine, the blonde beauty explained: "That's what makes being with an Englishman out there so great. I mean, we live in Hollywood for f**k's sake. It would be easy to lose touch with reality."
Rosie - who was raised in South West England - admits living in LA does have its drawbacks as she often finds herself pining for her family.
She added: "I battle with wanting to be closer to my family, wanting to call my brother on a Sunday and ask him to come round and watch 'The X Factor', or be there to support my sister, or go shopping with my mum. Not being able to do that can get me down."
Despite being one of the world's most famous women and being in a celebrity coupling, the 27-year-old catwalk beauty insists she avoids the fame game and is adamant she'll never get caught out falling out of nightclubs looking dishevelled.
She said: "I do try and make sure that I conduct myself in a way that I think is appropriate, but at the same time I'm still going to live my life ... I'm not the girl falling out of a nightclub with my knickers around me ankles."

Justin Bieber will only party with "hot" girls.
The 20-year-old singer reportedly angered female revellers at Ibiza's Amnesia nightclub at the weekend by handpicking women from the crowd to join him at his VIP balcony area and insisting they left their friends behind if he didn't feel they were pretty enough.
A source said: "Justin was causing trouble by getting his entourage to walk around the main club floor. They told girls to come with them if they wanted to party with Bieber.
"But some were told only they could come along because their friends were not 'hot enough'."
And the 'Beauty and a Beat' hitmaker's behaviour with those who were chosen to join him was "pretty strange" as he didn't even speak to the women.
The source added to The Sun newspaper: "He didn't even seem to talk to them. He just sort of stood in the middle as they danced around. It was pretty strange."
Justin has caused a lot of controversy since flying out to Ibiza.
A week ago, actor Orlando Bloom "jumped a sofa" to try and punch him at restaurant Cipriani because of remarks he allegedly made about the 'Lord of the Rings' star's ex-wife Miranda Kerr, who he was rumoured to have had a fling with while the couple were still married.
The 'Boyfriend' hitmaker is said to have taunted Orlando with the claim that the Victoria's Secret beauty had promised to "make him a man".

Sinéad O'Connor was inspired by her row with Miley Cyrus.
The 47-year-old singer/songwriter has spoken about the argument in which she criticised Miley's use of her body for publicity, which led the 'Wrecking Ball singer to mock Sinéad for her mental health issues.
The 'Nothing Compares 2 U' singer admitted that the argument inspired the cover photo for her new album 'I'm Not Bossy, I'm the Boss' in which she wears a tight dress and a dark wig.
Speaking to The Daily Telegraph newspaper, Sinéad said: "I learnt something very important from all that: you get a whole lot of publicity if you sex yourself up. There was no noble thought behind it."
However, Sinéad confirmed that she has not changed her image permanently, adding: "It's kind of fascinating what hair can do ... But I don't think anyone seriously expected me to keep that up.
"I just did a video, six hours in a wig and latex dress. I was sweating, it was disgusting. I discovered really why I haven't dressed like a girl more often. The upkeep would be awful."
"I don't necessarily fit into the mould that it seems females are supposed to fit into. I'm kind of irregular. My own hair is unruly. It's a mess. I feel more like me with it shaved."
