Over the Top Dog Products

With extra time on our hands, it’s easy to fall down the online shopping rabbit hole. It’s even easier when we’ve got pets to spoil! Even so, there’s a surprising number of . . . questionable . . . products aimed at dog owners on the market. Whether genius or just plain stupid, you decide!

1) Bowser Beer

That’s right. Now you and your furry friends can bond over a pack of brewskies. After a long day at the park, why not unwind with a cold one? You can even customize the label with your dog’s picture. Visit the manufacturer's site at https://bowserbeer.com/

2) GOPET Treadwheel

If you need to work off those Bowser Beers, then this might be the product for you. Essentially a giant hamster wheel, the GOPET treadwheel comes in a range of sizes for toy through large breeds. Some models even come with an odometer so you can track your dog’s mileage.

3) Rear Gear

Do you clutch your pearls seeing a dog au naturale – especially as they walk away? Now you can cover their more unsightly bits with Rear Gear butt covers. You can opt for designs depicting everything from the hazardous waste symbol to cupcakes, disco balls to dice. Selections are available from a range of online retailers.

4) Doggone Dog Thong

Speaking of rear ends, those little bottoms sometimes emit some big stink. What if there were some kind of underwear that could neutralize that gag-inducing gas? Enter the Doggone dog thong. These stringy little numbers have built-in odor-absorbers to cancel any unwanted scents while rivaling the style of Paris’ finest lingerie

6) Music for Dogs

Does your dog tend to be on the sad or grumpy side? Maybe they just need a new soundtrack. Laurel Canyon Animal Company developed a collection of Songs to Make Dogs Happy. As the makers describe it: “A bouncy collection of tunes made from the dogs' point of view.”

7) Dog Tattoos

If your dog is looking to spice up their image, some dog friendly “ink” might be just the ticket. Specialty groomers charge around $100 for these temporary embellishments, but you can order DIY stick- or spray-ons online.

8) Pet Highchair

This one takes treating your dog like your baby to a whole new level. These specially designed seats let your pup perch at the dinner table with the rest of the family. As if they needed help begging for table scraps, right?

9) Nail Pawlish

Why not make your pup’s nails as fancy as yours? There are a number of companies with a range of dog-safe nail polish products, but most come in the form of pens for drawing on your desired designs. Pawlish Nail Polish and Warren London Pawdicure are two of the most widely available and retail for around $10.

10) Flavored Bubbles
