Loop Dog House: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Fri, 05 Dec 2008 07:15:04 -0800

I think the design of this Loop Dog Bed I found on Unica Home is modern and lovely, but I'm not quite sure why it comes in at $700 bucks - the hut is made of faux leather, and the bed itself is stuffed with silicone fibers!

For that price tag, I would have expected an ostrich leather outside, goosedown feathers in the pillow, and maybe some gold. Like 24 karats of it.

Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten: Pet Perfumes?

PetSugar — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 09:00:00 -0700

I know a girl likes to smell fresh, but is spritzing your pets with specialized "pawfume" taking it too far? I've seen a number of perfumes pop up over the past few seasons aimed at making your four legged BFFs smell sweet, while still maintaining their natural pH balance.

Sexy Beast's ($65) line of care products gives you a number of ways to show your pets some love, while stocking their fragrance with hints of vanilla, nutmeg, and citrus. However, Juicy Couture's version of their über-popular brand gives us Juicy Crittoure Dog Pawfume ($60) that is strangely void of description! Has anyone smelled it? There must be a lot of sniffing going on, so tell me, spoiled sweet or rotten?

Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

Imagine you're driving along the expressway with your pooch, and you decide to stop for a snack at a service area. If you happen to be in Japan, you can now get a bento box for yourself... and your pup. "Dora Bento Pochi" are gourmet boxed meals for dogs available at eight different service stops in the Tokyo area.

The East Nippon Expressway Co. has produced bento boxes in the past, but this is the first time they have created anything expressly for dogs and, by my account, the first, fresh canine cuisine to be sold at rest stops anywhere.

So, what's in the box? With no preservatives or additives, you'll find prime chicken breast, unpolished-rice based bread, vegetable soups, seasoning, and a rice cracker for dessert. Better yet, the lid can be turned over to serve as a water dish.

All You Ultra Coffee Cup: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Mon, 16 Nov 2009 04:00:54 -0800

I need my daily coffee before I get started with the day - though I usually grab it on the way into the office, it's definitely more cost-conscious to brew the beans at home. Maybe if I had such a fancy mug?

You may be wondering what this All You Ultra Coffee Cup ($33) is doing on PetSugar but it's actually made to match a set of dog bowls, coincidentally, the same pricey set North enjoys. Do you think it matters that you start the day drinking out of the same fancy pieces as your precious pets . . . even though your tableware stays up top while the animals' are relegated to the kitchen floor.

The Puppoose: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Thu, 27 Dec 2007 08:00:23 -0800

You may have dog crates, carriers, and strollers lying around but do you have a doggie purse? For $80, the Puppoose keeps your furry companion attached to your hip - literally - in this soft crocheted carrier that allows your arms to remain functional while out and about. The Puppoose promises a fit for all:

"..fits any small dog and any person! Its crocheted design has 4 holes at the base for the pets limbs, 4 adjustable straps to adjust the length, a neck cushion for your comfort and safety strap to ensure your pets security. Its hands-free convenience allows more quality time together!"

I'm all about stylish and comfortable ways to keep North with me throughout the day, but I'm wondering how he would deal with not walking and expending some of his boundless energy on our outings! So what do you think - Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

Barnyard Friends Hooded Towels: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Wed, 11 Nov 2009 08:00:44 -0800

OK, everyone who was on the fence about that doggie robe, here's another inventive post-bath ensemble for pets - the Barnyard Friends Hooded Towel ($20). The wild options include a ducky, froggie, bunny or lil lamb, but do they best belong on LilSugar instead of this site?

After finding Lil's comment about splish splashing turning a bathroom into full-blown waterworks without a similar kiddie product, it got me thinking: So could a slippery, shaking pooch! Yes, it's essentially a pointlessly cute, absorbent towel with a hood giving Fluffy or Fido a double face - is the pointlessness or the cuteness winning out for you?

Glow in the Dark Nail Polish: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Fri, 30 Oct 2009 08:00:49 -0700

Wouldn't it look spooky coming at you in the dark: Just four sets of twinkling nails as they click-clacked on the floor? Now I've never seen this polish in person to vouch for its glimmering luminosity, but I know how nutty North is for his glow-in-the dark toys.

While it comes down to the principle of lacquered claws of any color, would the fact that this polish ($8) purportedly glows earn a glowing review from you?

Dog Drying Robe: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Thu, 29 Oct 2009 04:00:15 -0700

There's nothing like slipping into a warm robe after a shower on a cold day . . . and now the luxury has gone to the dogs. This new Dog Drying Robe ($39-$69) is made of microfiber for any pooch that just had a bath, or spent a little too much time frolicking in the rain.

Simply slip it over his head, place his paws in and wrap around his body with Velcro fasteners - yes, that's easier said than done. Would your pup snuggle right into this (like a dog Snuggie) or shake and squirm his way away?

Twilight-Inspired Dog Tees: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Thu, 22 Oct 2009 06:00:51 -0700

With Twilight this and New Moon that, seems the entire Sugar world is all abuzz for the Cullen drama.

Everyone . . . like your dogs? A quick Google search uncovered not one, not two, but hundreds of vampire-inspired slogans from the popular series printed on doggie-sized tees. I've picked this one out as my favorite, it's kinda tongue-in-cheek - or should I say teeth-in-throat? - do you have enough bloody love to share with your furry friends?

Antlerz Dog Chew: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Mon, 19 Oct 2009 14:00:28 -0700

Those aren't sticks, check out Antlerz ($19-$49), actual antlers shed naturally by actual deer. Outdoorsy company, Orvis, collects, cuts and cleans these real horns before packaging into a nonsplintering, eco-tastic dog toy for pups that have seen enough of the rubber and the plush. Would you spring for such a thing or is it a tad too lifelike for your liking?
