Etsy Pets: My Top 10 List for the Active Pet

Ok, whose dog is jumping up and down at the door? They want OUT! Here are my Top 10 cute and practical pet needs. I've included a little something for the indoor pet as well — you know, that indoor cat who would like to bring the outdoors in, or the turtle who yearns for a bit of greenery to call his own.

 

1. Picnic Cape

Don't forget to bring the doggy treats to the picnic! This capelette will come in handy when the park gets a bit chilly in the evening. By bugduds, $22.

2. NEW // Spring Love Pet Collar

Doggies can be dirty little piggies, and a fresh new collar should do the trick. By TheHydrant, $20.

3. Blue and Green Patchwork Leash made with Lilly Pulitzer Fabrics

And how about a fresh new leash to go with that brand spanking new collar? By PinkysPetGear, $13.99. Browse more leashes.

5. TALK TO THE PAW Pet Tag

8. Turtle Tortoise Transport Receptical Number 29

9. Critter repel doggie shampoo bar (or outdoor soap bar)

You don't want critters on your critters! By luxuryfalls, $3. Find more flea repellents.

10. Punky Puppie Paint Fur color

And last but not least (ok, maybe the least practical), hair dye for your punk rock puppy!  I cracked up when I read this line of the description: "NEVER ATTEMPT TO BLEACH YOUR DOG!!!" This is an amazing item. By GokiChan, $3.

Wag More Bark Less is a great philosophy for us all! I've got a bumber sticker on my car with that saying.

June 7, 2009 at 2:02 p.m. slumptown

I love all the great pet stuff here on etsy, if I am not careful I could go broke.

June 7, 2009 at 2:03 p.m. 4TheSparrowsNest

When I was a kid (aka...stupid) I used to think that fabric paint was the perfect accessory for rodents. One day, in a whim of weirdness, I painted my hamsters rear-end with green fabric paint...and it stayed on there for months. My poor little hamster!! It's a wonder he didn't eat the paint and get sick. I tried to make him a super-hero cape too, but fortunately for him--it didn't work. I guess there's a good reason why we accessorize cats and dogs instead, lol!

June 7, 2009 at 2:06 p.m. younghairlove

i adore that dye it's just wonderfull, i know my dog will love it, also that hawaiian lead, argh..............love it!!

June 7, 2009 at 2:16 p.m. Morado

It would be so cool to give him a cool design in his fur with the Puppy Paint!! Stars going down his side maybe? Lots of possibilities when he's got white, short fur! :-)
