4 Weird Dog Products That You Probably Didn’t Know Existed

Doggy high chairs, flavored bubbles, canine IQ kits, and pet doorbells. Sound bizarre? Maybe, but all of these products exist and they’re not even the strangest out there. Maybe you’re looking for a truly unique gift for the dog in your life or just need proof that these items are real. Either way, we’ve got you covered in this guide to some of the weirdest dog gear around.

Bubble Buddy Flavored Bubbles
Because what dog owner hasn’t sat around wishing that their dogs could eat bacon flavored bubbles? The Bubble Buddy is a bubble machine that spits out doggie delicacy flavored soapsuds, guaranteed to leave your dog as thoroughly confused as you will be amused.

1. Pet Doorbell Mat
For when scratching at the door just won’t do, this ingenious creation makes knowing what your dog wants foolproof. Imbedded in the seemingly innocuous door mat is a sensor that transmits the message to a chime, letting you know that your furry friend needs to go out… again. With 36 chimes to choose from and an impressive 100 foot range, this contraption has it all. Except earplugs.

2. Pooch IQ Kit
Most dog parents are divided firmly into 2 camps. On one side, we have those who boast that they have the cleverest canines known to mankind. On the other, those who have resigned themselves to a life of run-ins with screen doors and inability to play ‘find the treat’. Wouldn’t it be swell if you could know for sure just where your dog ranks? With the Pooch IQ Kit, the power of this tremendous knowledge is in your hands.

Happy Tail Ale
Ever wish you could kick back, relax, and crack a cold one with your pooch? No? Well time to reevaluate your summer plans because now you’ve got a brand new drinking buddy in the form of your favorite canine companion. Happy Tail Ale is a non-carbonated, non-alcoholic brew designed to tickle the taste buds of even the most discerning dog. Available in a handy 6 pack, it’s the perfect libation to pack for your next trip to the beach. Don’t forget the doggy pint glasses!

3. The Bow Lingual
Remember the episode of The Simpsons when Uncle Herb invented the Baby Translator? Well, someone’s gone ahead and made the canine equivalent. The Bow Lingual is a dog-to-human translator that interprets your pal’s barks and whines into easily understand human equivalents. A great idea in theory but whether or not it actually works is up in the air. As is the question of if you really want to know what your dog is thinking.

4. The Pet High Chair

While there are some instances when dogs require a specially built chair to facilitate eating, we can only surmise that this version isn’t intended for medical use. This snap-on booster seat is eerily similar to those used by parents of toddlers and is made to clamp on to dining tables so that your pint sized pal can join you for a meal. While you’re more than entitled to have your dog be a part of the family dinner, you may want to leave this handy invention at home when you set out for a fine dining establishment. We suspect that the other patrons might not be so fond of the idea.
