Dr. Marty Becker's Picks For Wacky Products
7 Unusual Pet Accessories for Creatures Big and Small
This morning, Dr. Marty Becker shared some unusual pet products on Good Morning America, including Ugg-inspired dog booties that will no doubt come in handy this winter for fashion-conscious canines. For more details on these wacky products for dogs, cats, birds and little critters, check out our slideshow.
Parrot Jacket
Although Parrot Wrapz appear to be just playful accessories, these avian slickers actually serve a purpose: The wraps protect your parrot from the cold — and help minimize unwanted plucking (from $25).
Kitty Toilet Training Kit
If you’re tired of cleaning your cat’s litterbox, CitiKitty can help train felines of various sizes and breeds to use the toilet. The $25 kit comes with a special seat that adjusts to all toilets.
Dog Wigs
They may not be functional, but Wiggles Wigs for Dogs sure are fun. The canine wigs come in a variety of sizes and styles — like Bob Marley-esque dreadlocks and Shirley Temple-inspired curls (from $33).
Do-It-Yourself Dog Art
Does your puppy possess Picasso-like painting skills? With the Mug-Casso kit, you and your pet can create a one-of-a-kind mug — minus the mess. The $20 set includes nontoxic paint, canvas art paper, paint shields and a travel mug.
Reptile Leash
It's a cinch to take your iguana for a stroll around the block with the T-Rex comfort leash, featuring a leather harness, pivoting safety clasp, and 36-inch nylon lead. The leash comes in XX-small up to X-large, so it fits monitors, anoles, tegus, swifts, iguanas and geckos (from $9).
Small Critter Car
Skip the traditional hamster wheel and give your pet a real workout with the Super Pet Critter Cruiser. The animal-powered exerciser has an adjustable racing wheel that offers three workouts for mice, gerbils, rats and hamsters (from $13).
Ugg-Inspired Dog Boots
Nobody likes cold, wet feet — including your pup. These Ugg-like boots from East Side Collection have faux suede uppers, Sherpa accents, grooved rubber soles and adjustable Velcro ankle closures. Sizes range from XX-small to XX-large (from $24).
