Ray J is throwing a $30,000 birthday party - for his dog.

The 34-year-old musician is treating Boogotti the Maltese to a special celebration at the Petrock Hotel and Spa in Encino, California, where guests will walk a red carpet to enter.

According to TMZ, as well as food for the human guests, there will also be a dog treat station and a special cake for Boogotti's canine pals to tuck into.

However, one person who won't be in attendance is Princess Love, the dog's former co-owner and Ray J's ex-girlfriend.

The Love and Hip Hop co-stars had a bitter break-up last October which resulted in Princess leaving with three of their other pet dogs, sparking a row over Boogotti.

The former couple then reached an amicable agreement with Boogotti going to live with Princess and Ray J - who previously dated Kim Kardashian West and the late Whitney Houston - allowed frequent visits.

The pet was said to be depressed and off his food as he missed his doggy chums, while the trio of pooches he had left behind were "constantly crying" because he wasn't there.

It isn't clear if Princess' other dogs will be in attendance at Boogotti's birthday bash.
