Trust the folks over at Art Lebedev to come up with something as crazy as this – we’re talking about the Povodokus dog leash, where it doubles up as a pretty nifty idea, and yet isn’t all too smart at the same time. After all, when your dog’s leashed to this, chances are pretty good you’ll be stopped quite often by passersby as well as dog lovers, where they will have this puzzled look on their face before they burst out into laughter, or shake their head in disgust. Whatever it is, the Povodokus dog leash is definitely able to elicit a reaction across the path of whoever you cross. Surely Fido is more obedient with a gun pointed to his head, right?

Hmmm, walking around with your dog can be a very pleasant experience, especially when the weather is fine and dandy. What happens when the skies go all dark, and the heavens pour? Most folks would then stay at home and do some obedience training or play fetch, but those who are adamant on going out for walks will definitely find the Dogbrella handy – to a certain extent. Why do we say so? Well, walking your pooch when it rains isn’t such a good idea as your furkid’s bottom part will get all wet still, so might as well get the critter all wet in the first place instead of busting $29.95 on this.

We know that there are pet hotels, especially boarding services for both dogs and cats. But what about fish? Well, there isn’t really an emotional attachment when it comes to fish, but some people out there still think that our finned friends deserve to be treated on the same level as that of a pooch or feline. Enter the Fish Hotel then, which we think is really cruel as it is more suitable for fish like bettas rather than anything else. Not exactly the most comfortable of settings for your fish, don’t you think so? Sure, it might look great in your living room, but at what cost to the fish’s wellbeing?

Love having a dog, but hate picking up after it due to poor toilet training? The Pooch Power Shovel might just cater to those who suffer from bad backs or are extremely bad at anticipating when Fido is about to let loose some subs. At $79.99 a pop, it isn’t exactly the cheapest tool around, but at least all you need to do to pick up some poop would be to press a button and the Pooch Power Shovel will get to work, vacuuming waste straight into specially designed biodegradable bags without having to bend down at all. While this works great in theory with hard stools, what happens when you have a labrador like mine which somehow has soft stools despite being certified as perfectly healthy by a few vets?

Want to gross out a friend who absolutely hates dogs? Then get him or her the Happy Birthday Dog Poop, and chances are the both of you will be friends no more in an instant. It looks extremely realistic, and if you want to up the ante, why not spray some stink scent on it before presenting it as a gift? The fake dog poo has been designed to spell out Happy Birthday, and is made out of realistic rubber. One of the crazier $12.95 you’ll ever spend, that’s for sure.
It’s just not fair that you get to go camping, but your dog is stuck within their usual housing. If you’re feeling the need to even things out a little more, you can get them their own personal camper. Not just any camper though, it’s a fiberglas, aluminum and stainless steel camper. That little dog has better accommodations than I do while I’m camping. You’ll have to contact the designer to find out the pricing on these though.

LOL cats have covered the internet and now the selfish cats don’t know how to be normal cats. In order to allow themselves to be on the screen all the time, you can build them a house inside of an old monitor. Those monitors are ugly and outdated anyway, you might as well let the cat take it over. Of course these aren’t for sale, so the only way you can get one is to create your own.

St. Bernards are lovely giant dogs, with stories going about that they used to roam snowy mountains with miniature barrels of whiskey strapped to their collars, helping out trapped hikers by letting them drink some in order to stay warm. For those who own St. Bernards, why not make them hark back to the good old days with a mini barrel complete with miniature spigots? Using American White Oak and wrapped in 6 metal bands with your choice of finish, these barrels will come attached to a leather collar, where it can also be trimmed as needed to fit smaller dogs. You can choose from 500ml or 1 liter capacities, retailing for $49.95 and $56.95, respectively.

Those of you that want your dog in the water along with you, but happen to have a pooch that can’t swim are now in luck. You can pick yourself up a flotation device meant specifically for your pet. It’d be great for anyone that wants to let their dog wander a boat freely, but don’t want to worry about them drowning. These come in a few different sizes, those being XS, S, M, L and XL. You can purchase the Canine Swim Safe for only $89.95 from Whatever Works.

The longer I read about and look at these panties for dogs, the more disturbed I get. These fabric undies come in thong forms, as well as cummerbunds, briefs with and without tail holes, and finally jumpers. They’re designed for incontinent or just stubborn dogs who are difficult to house train. No matter how much you try to justify it though, people are still going to look at you like you’re out of your mind. The prices of these range from $25 on up to $38 through Pants For Dogs.
