Huh? Odd dog products we bet you haven’t seen

We’re always on the lookout for new, exciting, wonderful dog products. Mostly for the shop, but also for ourselves and our own dogs. 

Every once in a while, we come across something that doesn’t fit our “fun, affordable, practical” profile, but so special we take note. They make us scratch our heads, or say “oh, I don’t think so,” or maybe “that could work, maybe!” Or maybe not.

Dog products you have to see to believe

These are the ones that really caught our attention:

pug in a dryer

Puff-N-Fluff Dog Dryer. What a very good dog this Pug is! We can’t imagine our dogs having the patience to stand still, just out of the bath, for this. We don’t know what your dogs do straight out of the bathtub, but ours run around like maniacs rubbing themselves on every soft surface they can find.


slippers shaped like dogs

Custom Pet Slippers. Is it adorable or creepy to have slippers that look exactly like your dog? We’re not quite sure, but there are a couple of concerns that keep us from hitting the “buy” button. We’ve never spent that much on shoes, let alone slippers. And plush animals on the end of our legs seems like an invitation for our dogs to “get it!” “Kill it!” “Chew its face off!”

dog with head out car window

Pet Car Window Shade. Who would use this? Who would think of it and produce it? Does anyone really let their little dogs stick their heads out of car windows?  We suppose this is safer than just opening a window and letting the dog stick its head out – but just no.


dog on treadmill and woman on exercise bike

Dual Exerciser. We sort of, kind of, love this one. We can’t imagine dogs staying willingly on the treadmill without incentive (treats), but on those nasty-weather days it might be nice to “walk” the dog inside. We’re not sure if it comes in different sizes for larger dogs – but we’re not sure anybody would want one.

dachshund wearing tool-holding vest

Mechanic’s Helper. This one made us nostalgic. Hope’s Brussels Griffon Roc always loved to help her make repairs around the house. He was notorious for stealing her tools. She would reach for a pliers or a screwdriver and it wasn’t where she left it – Roc had carried it off! He never actually fixed anything. And he really didn’t “help.” But it was always nice to have the company.

Ready to shop?

We hope you got a kick out of these and hope you’ll check out the rest of our shop for the real deal. Fun, affordable, and practical products – especially for small dogs
