1. Dog Pedometer
It’s great to keep your pet’s health in mind (pet obesity is certainly a growing problem). But measuring your pup’s steps is perhaps going a little too far. Really, it’s not like they are trying to slim down for bathing suit season. As long as Rex is eating right and exercising you should be ok.
3. Dog Treadmill
In case it’s the bottom of the ninth, game six of the World Series, and the Jays have bases loaded (we can always dream, right?), this handy tool will keep your pup content while you watch history unfold on television. Or, if you’re like us and hate cold weather, you can always plop your pup on the treadmill in January and watch him walk himself. Of course, maybe you could save a couple hundred dollars and just take him for a walk.
6. Dog Strollers
While a dog treadmill may make pet owners lazy, a dog stroller will definitely make your pup lazy. In some cases a dog stroller may make sense, like when your pup is injured, but otherwise they’re just kind of creepy. Dogs aren’t babies, no matter how much you pretend, folks.
7. Dog Washing Machine
While many variations of these machines exist around the world, few have made their way to Canada. Dog washing machines tend to come in all shapes and forms, usually costing thousands of dollars (some are coin operated), and most tend to look like terrifying doggy deathtraps. Our suggestion? Save your pet the trauma of being locked in one of these things, and give them a bath the old-fashioned way.
8. Dog Beer
Even though this dog beer lacks alcohol and carbonation (two big no-no’s for pets), it still poses an interesting dilemma. Do you really want your dog drinking beer? What happens if they start acting like drunks, and run amok? Do you really want to run into a German Shepherd pumped full of beer?
