Twihard Cats Need Vampire Fangs

PetSugar — Mon, 17 Aug 2009 08:00:30 -0700

OK, it seems that this vampire madness won't go away anytime soon - between Twilight and True Blood, I'm seeing fangs wherever I look. And how adorable is this kitty toy?!

Filled with stemless catnip, the felt toys won't draw any blood literally since the sharp parts are removed, and I'd surely be excited to see this kind of vampire coming at me! If you're not into the whole bloodsucking craze, there are some silly buck teeth to choose from, too. Nobody call a dentist, I want to see these pearly whites sticking out!

Forget the Palm Pre, Get a Palm Puppy!

PetSugar — Mon, 15 Jun 2009 06:00:23 -0700

geek may be all over the newest phone to hit the market, but I'm more interested in another item with a similar name. The Palm Puppy may not have a 3 inch touch screen, built in keyboard, or GPS, but he sure is cute!

Coming straight from PalmPuppy's Etsy shop, I can't help but love this tiny stuffed Boston Terrier doll. Sure, he can't make calls, but he definitely makes me smile! And he's not the only one - there are a variety of plush and stuffed puppies (as well as buttons and other trinkets) for you to choose from as gifts for other dog lovers, or for yourself. You know, just because.

And check out the bulldog plushie! How adoro is that!? Each handmade plush doll comes in at around $30, which to some may seem a bit expensive, but can you really put a price tag on happiness? Well, can you?

Tu Gato Necesita Un Sombrero

That's right, your cat needs a sombrero. (Need I remind you of another super famous literary feline worthy of mention?) After all, what's cuter than a cute kitty in a cute hat to celebrate Cinco De Mayo.

Since we've already covered birds and dogs, check out these adorable handmade head toppers for our kitty amigos. There's this cute color offered for $14 or a larger, yellow and black style for $21. I feel a future Pet Pic of the Day in the making with these things.

Broken Umbrellas Equal Stylish Raincoats

PetSugar — Fri, 24 Apr 2009 12:45:05 -0700

Desperately grasping a broken umbrella is one of the worst feelings I can think of . . . as is the accompanying sogginess. I've definitely been caught out in the rain and slammed the wire-jutting contraption into the trash as I slosh to work.Well, no more. See these adorable raincoats? They're made from recycled umbrellas! All jackets ($10 and up) are completely customizable – hood, no hood, felt, vintage, hand-picked linings, etc. – for your lucky, weather-resisting pup. Created by product designer Taryn Zychal, her two pugs serve as models but designs can come in sizes from XS to XXL.

I already know what I'm doing next time I break an umbrella and, if this sounds like something you'd like to support, even if you don't have a dressed-up dog, she's currently offering a great plan:

To get the best variety of broken umbrellas, I am currently reimbursing shipping costs to anyone who would like to send me their broken umbrellas, so it will literally cost them nothing to ship it to me. I want to collect broken umbrellas from all over the world so hopefully people will dig the idea and start sending them my way!

Her online store, Recycling Zychal, is up now and she'll continue to add more fabrics as they come in from all of you. As if you needed yet another reason: a portion of all sales go towards the Humane Society of the United States so you won't leave the animals high and dry . . . just dry.

I've Got My Eye on You, Kitty

PetSugar — Mon, 22 Dec 2008 14:00:33 -0800

Still looking for a super unique holiday gift for pets? Well, when I spotted these catnip eyeballs, they seemed just the thing for cats that love the homemade. After all, these cute toys are made from recycled sweatshirts (inside out) so that the nubby cozy part is what your pet chews on. At $10 for a set of two, each is made per order so it's only the freshest catnip for your kitties. That's what they deserve . . . obviously.

Mmmmm, Pie: Desserts For Finicky Felines

PetSugar — Wed, 19 Nov 2008 14:00:17 -0800

While nine bucks is a lot of money to spend on a slice of pie for me to eat (read: gone in minutes), it's totally reasonable for these jumbo toy pieces filled with organic catnip.
Dish out this cute present for resident felines at Thanksgiving dinner (so they don't get jealous of their lucky dog counterparts). I plan on eating some pumpkin pie myself so I'm choosing this one, but Catzilla Crafts' Etsy store "bakes" up a bunch of goodies including cakes, donuts, eclairs, and even (my fave) banana pancakes. Cue the Jack Johnson, I'm diggin' in.

Pampered Pals: One-of-a-Kind Embroidered Collars

PetSugar — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 13:00:59 -0700

I'm fairly DIY, but not quite this much . . . so I've got to rely on the talents of others for those really one-of-a-kind items. If you want to make a pup stand out at the dog park, this handmade piece would be a nice addition to any growing collection. Mimi Green's Etsy shop offers collars and leashes in unique fabrics – they'll even handstitch your pet's name onto the collar to add that extra touch of personalization. And, for those into the whole matchy matchy thing, the seller will custom make a leash to coordinate with your chosen neckpiece, too.

PetSugar Street Team: Turn Your Pillow Into a Dog Bed!

PetSugar — Wed, 20 Aug 2008 00:30:29 -0700

A pom pom hat on a pooch . . . ummm this is totally too cute for words! Thank you LoveRoars for alerting me to this fab Etsy find! All the sustainable gear is eco-friendly with most products, like these adoro coats, made of 100 percent fleece derived from recycled plastic!

It's hard for me to pick a fave, but if pressed the beds are hard to beat. In fact, it's an idea so ingenious, I wish I had thought of it myself! There are plenty of color options for the pillow pet bed base and blanket ($50). You may already be sighing at the additional cost of an insert but not for this one – it's meant to be filled with an old pillow. You've got a purpose for the reject and, since it smells like you, maybe it'll keep your pets off your bed, too! See the beds and more in the widget below.

Head Into Fall in Style With Dogties

PetSugar — Fri, 15 Aug 2008 03:00:00 -0700

Since North already looks like he's wearing a tux with his black and white fur, adding a tie would send him over the top! I found these super cute Dogties on Etsy, and for the $8 price, I think I might snatch up more than one! I never know when I may need North to accompany me to a classy event, right?

A row of Velcro lets you attach the tie to any collar, so you're ready to go in no time. And with tons of patterns – from skulls and crossbones to modern shapes – there should be one to fit any occasion. Would you buy a Dogtie for your handsome pooch? How could you say no – look at that snazzy guy! He's ready for business.

Found! Famke Janssen and Licorice Love Luna, Too!

PetSugar — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 16:10:55 -0700

OK, I admit it, I am officially obsessed. Don't get me wrong, I loooooooooove lil Licorice. BUT, do you recognize that tote bag? (Hint: it was one of my March Must-Haves.) It's Luna! Looks like Famke Janssen also decided she must have this cute tote, and I couldn't agree more. In addition to the classic design seen here, onetensullivan sells a couple other Luna-rrific items, too. Smooches to Licorice and Luna!
