What's Your Fancy? Cornelia Guest on Her Luxury Pet Essentials

"Hearst Magazines and Yahoo may earn commission or revenue on some items through these links."

Cornelia Guest is her mother's daughter. Just like C.Z. Guest—the late socialite and OG horse girl currently being portrayed by Chloë Sevigny in Feud: Capote vs. The Swans (the finale airs March 13)—Cornelia has been passionate about animals since a very young age.

"When I was little, I had a Jack Russell named Jack; he was my best friend. I also had a pony called Memo and a black Labrador named Coot," Cornelia recalls of her childhood memories. "This was my little band of merrymakers. I was with them everywhere."

Life isn't all that different for her these days, either. While much of her early years were lived as a debutante in New York. City, Cornelia can now be found spending most of her time advocating for animal rights on her sprawling estate in Dallas, Texas, with her menagerie of rescued pets, which includes five dogs (three Great Danes, a Jack Russell, and Chihuahua), three cats, 17 mini horses and donkeys, 45 peacocks, and two turkeys.

"I just love animals," she says. "I think there are so many ways to help our little animal creatures."

Among her accomplishments include saving and rehabilitating over 100 miniature horses and donkeys from slaughter and other inhumane situations, and actively spreading awareness about wild horses through three non-profit organizations: American Wild Horse Conservation, All Seated in a Barn, and The Cloud Foundation.

"What's going on with mustangs is really one of the most tragic things in our country," says Cornelia. "All these mustangs that are living on our federal lands are being chased by helicopters and killed. It's just disgusting. But there are so many people who fight this all the time and now I think [these organizations] are finally making some leeway because more and more people are talking about it."

Ahead, Cornelia chatted with Town & Country about her devotion to animals, along with her favorite luxury pet essentials for her fur babies back at home.

The Dórro

"Pagerie has beautiful and chic products! The Dórro and the Ox leashes are two of my favorites. They have fun accessories as well. I came across the brand through a friend of mine. The work they do and how they put everything together and their craftsmanship is quite amazing. I think people love to dress dogs up and that's a great place to do it. Also, everything they make is so beautiful."

Furbo 360° Dog Camera

"I love this because it makes you feel like you’re never truly far away from your dogs and you can always shoot them a little treat, which they always appreciate! My dogs love it, especially the little ones."

Red Rope Dog Leash, Adjustable

"I think adjustable leashes are fantastic. Found My Animal has so many wonderful colors to choose from and I especially love that it promotes adoption!"

Down Puffer Coat Hot Pink, Navy & Silver

"This is the most tasteful animal store I’ve ever seen. Everything is beautiful and I love stopping by whenever I go to New York. Their staff is incredibly knowledgeable and you'll have the most fabulously dressed pets in the world. I have the puffer coats for all my Great Danes, Jack Russell, and Chihuahua, and they all love them. It keeps them so warm."

Ultra-Light Pastel Jumpsuit

"Since little dogs get so cold and are so close to the ground, we love their jumpsuits. They’re super warm and Puppia specializes in smaller breeds. I put this on my Chihuahua, of course, he's miserable in it. But it keeps the dogs so warm and I think that after a while, they love it."

Fi Series 3 GPS Pet Tracker

"This is a smart collar with GPS that allows you to always know where they are. For dogs that like to roam, this is great. And also when people have a dog walker, I sometimes hear so many horror stories and the dog gets loose in New York City and it's a nightmare—this is a godsend."

Royal Canin

"As I have large breed dogs, this is the best dry food I found. We use it for all the dogs and it’s breed-specific which I particularly like."

Pantry Fresh - Variety Pack (8 pk)

"JustFoodForDogs is the best fresh food on the market. These people are brilliant at what they did. Mixed in with the Royal Canin, my dogs look and feel fantastic and they love it."

Thick 12" Bully Sticks Dog Treats

"Chewy is the Neiman Marcus for animals. They have everything: the best chew toys, beds, all the good food, and anything new on the market. I also love the big bones for the big dogs and the bully sticks. The long big bully sticks are hard to find, and they just do a great job with everything."

Fur Bébé

"I don't like dog shampoos that stink. Sometimes, when you take a dog to a groomer, they come back and stink. Their noses are so sensitive and I have a sensitive nose, too, and I know that if I don't like it, they can't stand it. So this doesn't stink and it's very gentle on them and it makes them feel good. It takes any bad odors away and they just are soft and silky after you use it. They seem to like it."
