We know how you feel, your cherished pets are people too right? So if you're looking to celebrate your pup's birthday or just want them to be as stylish as you, 7's Belkys Nerey has all the new doggie trends in tonight's Style File.

WSVN -- Light the candle on the cake it's time to 'pawty' doggie-style. Coconut Grove residents Michelle and Jeff Brown have started a canine bakery where they make special birthday cakes for dogs called Nuni Cakes. The idea, celebrate your pup's birthday just like you would for a human.

Michelle Brown-Owner, Nuni Cakes: "We wanted to create something that people could actually cut, actually felt fluffy, actually felt like a cake something dog's could actually enjoy for their birthdays."

They will customize and decorate your dog's cake or cupcakes and the baked goods are all natural.

Michelle Brown-Owner, Nuni Cakes: "None of  our Nuni Cakes have any sugar or preservatives. So it's nothing your dog shouldn't be eating. We also have three different cake batters to choose from."

They also make other treats like cinnamon cinna-buns, peanut butter biscuits and even biscotti.

Michelle Brown-Owner, Nuni Cakes: "This is our banana biscotti and it's smucked with carob. Carob is a great alternative since dogs can't eat chocolate."

We promise party animals will definitely clean their plates and beg for a doggie bag.

For the dog lover who wants their pet dressed to impress, the new Legitimutt Boutique in Miami's Wynwood District is for the designer doggie.

Brian Long-Owner, Legitimutt: "Just as people are buying designer clothes for their children, people are now wanting to do the same things for their dogs. I think the goal is to have the same opportunity as your owner has."

The store is full of bright collars and leashes made from Italian leather and chic clothing using fab fabrics from high-end human designers.

Brian Long-Owner, Legitimutt: "We've pulled designer fabrics that will be exactly what their human counterpoints would be seeing in stores this fall. We've been doing the same things with dogs. It's 100 percent trend based."

Expect stylish rain coats and even South Florida-themed polos.

Brian Long-Owner, Legitimutt: "When you're out walking your dog you want to look good."

Now your dog can be just as fashion forward as you.

If you want to order a Nuni Cake, they deliver to Dade and Broward. They will need 24 hour notice.
