Some of the new products that are invented are really interesting while others are simply laughable. The ones that seem to make it to the As Seen On TV website land somewhere in between. There seems to be a proliferation of these pet products these days. The website even has a special tab just for them.
Before you get taken in by the shiny newness of some of the products, it is advisable to stop and think. Do you really need to spend money on that? Will it really work? In many cases, the answer may be a surprising yes.
Below is a list of 5 of the strangest pet products and a quick review of each.
Tiny Tyrants dog chew toys are squeaky toys in the likeness of Saddam and Bin Laden (Gadaffi coming soon). This is defiantly something that will be more fun for the pet parents to watch, but the dogs are sure to have some fun as well.
The Peek A Boo Pet Bed is a unique concept of a bed. It is shaped like a donut, allowing pets to burrow into it and find some really comfortable places to sleep. This product made the list due to its strange shape, but in this case, it is a really good idea. Dogs seem to love it and it is fun to watch them use it. This product is especially good for dogs that like to cuddle or burrow and those that need a place that is warm to sleep.
The bed is filled with polyester instead of harmful, expanding materials like cotton that the dog can choke on.
Doggysheets are removable, changeable fitted sheets for your dog’s bed. Just as you change the sheets on your bed, you can now do the same for your pet’s bed. Most pet beds out now have removable covers that you can throw in the wash, so it is a bit strange that a product such as this would be on the market.
However, it is a good idea for those days when it is raining or snowing out and your dog comes in with messy paws. The dog bed becomes muddy and needs to be cleaned. With these fitted sheets, all you need to do it simply change the sheet and you will be good to go.
Humunga Tounge is a rubber dog toy that is shaped like a tongue. It is pretty self explanatory why this is on the list. A toy shaped like a tongue is funny, but sort of useless.
CityKitty is a toilet training kit for cats. That’s right, train your cat to use the toilet instead of a litter box. Cat’s using the toilet is actually beneficial to the planet and to cat owners. Being able to flush the waste away is more ecofriendly (and wallet friendly) than litter.
