Sorta gross? Depends. Cruel and unusual? Perhaps. Less contact with dog shit for us? Totally.
The PooTrap is a bag that straps on to your dog’s ass with a harness, eagerly awaiting Fido’s fecal evacuation. There are worse things you can do (sorry for stealing your line, Riz). Think about it. If your dog is willing to eat their own crap, this won’t bother them too much. It’s just sort of awkward walking with a bag hanging between your legs. Just ask my grandpa.
Washing your dog is probably a pain in the ass, especially if your mutt is a prissy little thing. Stop taking your dog’s shit and the next time they’re due for a cleaning, hit up your local Dog-O-Matic. Created by some silly francophone named Romain Jerry, this machine takes your pooch and washes it over a brief period of time – about 5 minutes. When its done, your dog hops out and you dry the fucker off. A godsend for you, a journey to the end of the universe and back for man’s best friend.
Pet owners, there is no need anymore to carry around that crusty, disgusting, scooper. The Sha-Poopie, created by a poop hater, for a poop hater, allows for dog owners to not have to bend down, or even put out any effort to collect their dogs steaming pile of excrement.
With the Sha-Poopie, the dog does all the work for you. Both ingeniously creative and lazy at the same time. Just how we like them. Available now for $19.95, with additional liners costing $7.95. — Andrew Dobrow

It’s understandable why some people don’t like dogs. They smell, they’re always feeding on your treasures, and some people have powerful allergic reactions to their shedding fur. But what you gain not having one, you lose in personal home security. The Obscura Digital Dog is a totally fabricated doggy copy. The Obscura software allows users to turn any surface into a guard dog infested area. Beware of virtual dog!
Combining high-definition media and a full-screen canvas the dog looks virtually real. Except for the fact that it’s see-thru, of course. Multiple projections compensate for any video abnormalities. The technology isn’t necessarily mainstream yet, so you’ll have to wait a bit to take this home in a doggy bag. — Andrew Dobrow
Obesity has become a epidemic in many of the world’s leading countries. That’s right, our dogs are huge! Our “time is money” culture gives us very little time to spend giving our pets the proper exercise they need. The Hyperdog Ball Launcher makes sure that your pets’ balls travel to a far distance (giggle). Providing your pet with a further distance to fetch.
The Ball Launcher can sling tennis balls up to 200 feet, about 2/3 the length of a football field. This will ensure your dog either loses weight, or collapses from exhaustion. The sling is made of high quality surgical tubing. Durable enough to last a lifetime (at least your dog’s lifetime). The Launcher comes with 2 tennis balls, just in case one is to roll into a sewer or if one just becomes too covered in slobber to use without vomiting. Available for $30. — Andrew Dobrow
Taking photos of your pet over and over can become boring after the first 1000 shots or so. There’s only so many facial expressions most dogs make. But how about letting your dog be the photographer? The Wonderful Shot Dog Camera attaches to your dog’s collar, allowing your dog’s view to be your view. That makes us so happy.
The 3.5 MP camera can be either manned remotely or timed to take a shot every minute. With 8 MB of built in memory, you can send your dog off to the adventure which is your backyard, or into a local park for you urbanites. Photographers looking for that interesting shot to put on Flickr, might just catch it with the Takara Tomy designed Wonderful Shot. — Andrew Dobrow
