Snuggie For Dogs Strains Human-Canine Relations Nationwide
When you wrap yourself in a Snuggie on a cold evening, does your dog stare up at you with sad, wistful eyes? Even when you're not holding a bowl of popcorn? It's time for you to acknowledge that your dog is jealous of your Snuggie.
Fortunately, there is now a solution to this problem. Meet the Snuggie for Dogs. Yes, there's a video.
It's a Snuggie. For doggies. I'm not sure what else I can say about this.
From a consumer perspective, it's kind of unfair. Why don't human Snuggies have Velcro on the back? How well does the fabric hold up to scratching? If your dog sits on your lap wearing a Snuggie while you're wearing a Snuggie, does the universe collapse?
There's just something sad about a chilly little dog, isn't there? My dog happily wears sweaters and t-shirts, but can't stand Velcro. She can hear it separating while she walks around, and is terrified. For other dogs who are that way, I'm going to guess that Snuggiecorp doesn't have as liberal a return policy as my neighborhood pet store.
Without shipping, the Snuggie for Dogs is competitively priced with other dog outerwear. If, however, it's made out of the same material as human Snuggies, our extensive tests showed that it won't hold up well to washing, and will shed more than a Labrador retriever.

Is there a clip of a dog getting frustrated doing simple tasks with a blanket on in the commercial?
WHAT ABOUT THE CATS? Won't somebody think of the CATS?
My beloved cat, Eleanor Roosevelt Rigby, is sick and tired of being treated like a second-class furry citizen.
Snuggie should get a Consumerist award for being a customer service oriented company. They are giving you a second Snuggie free to replace the one your dog shreds by rolling around on the concrete sidewalk. You don't have to deal with any CSRs nor wait for the post office to deliver a replacement Suggie on its reduced schedule!
Where's the disclaimer about "No animals were harmed during the making of this commercial?" The woman was pretty much abusing the poor little white dog at 45 seconds in. And the golden retriever looked overly warm panting while laying in his Snuggie.
We didn't get to see how well the thin fleece holds up to the water in that "cold, chilly night". It was a rainy downpour but the poor dog clearly had to wait until it was dry enough for it's owner to walk it - every time the woman walked outside it wasn't raining.
Why does this need to exist?
Cultists! The dogs are now cultists!
@NewsBunny: Since cats have ceiling cat and basement cat on their side, I don't think it would be prudent to humiliate them in such a way.
This may be the worst product idea ever, but on the other hand, Snuggie IS a pretty amusing name for a dog.
My dog would kill me - even the, "but I'm your opposable thumbs!" argument wouldn't save me.
@gStein: I've been working with my chihuahua on loose leash training for a year and she still does that when we walk out the door.
I love my dog too much to make him look like that.
So after your dog eats the first snuggie you have a replacement snuggie for them to wear. Considerate.
And it leaves the dog's ass out in the cold, just like the Snuggie for people!
Talking dog tag: "Hi, my name is Tilly. Please, for the love of God someone get this hideous Snuggie off me and beat some sense into my owner."
Come on, dogs already have their own built in snuggies, and it's called fur.
The only time dog clothing is acceptable is if your dog is hairless.
And even then they don't need this stupid snuggie.
Unlike human Snuggies, these Snuggies actually stay attached.
I love all the dog faces. Especially the part where they say it's too cute to handle. That dog looks like it's about to throw itself into a prickly bush just to ruin the snuggies. Now all we need is Vince Shlomi singing "You'll love my nuts!"
@ageshin: +1 - agree- there's a reason for the fur, and it's not so they look cute and furry, it is to kep them warm.
@Smashville: But if you could survive the full-on, full-claw onslaught, it would be sort of funny to see!
Although, Cat Snuggie plus litter box equals, EWWW. No petting after that, ever.
Talking dog tag take 2: "Hi, my name is Tilly. Please try on this backwards robe and join my cult. Kthxbai."
@NewsBunny: Proof #2,345 that cats are superior to dogs is the tell-tale shredded, bloodied stumps where arms used to be on the cat owners that tried fitting a Snuggie on a cat.
Ten years from now, when the global rein of Maxxie the First begins, he will back on the spark that caused the bloody revolution that cast down humans from their perch and put canis familiarus in it's rightful, majestic throne. He will loll his tongue happily, his tail will wag a bit faster and he will say to himself, "Thanks, Snuggie - we should have done this years ago!"
Then he'll hop off his throne and drink water from the toilet behind the curtain.
Laura, do you feel set upon because there aren't yet Snuggies for Hamsters? A fair argument can be made that it's discrimination. Use your Bully Pulpit to right this wrong, use it!
"Must kill my master"
Oh god. Someone call the SPCA!
Sadly, My dog would wear this.
And probably love it.
But that doesn't mean I'm going to let him.
He already has coats and sweaters.
@NewsBunny: My cats looovvvveee fleece blankets. But if you tried to wrap them in a Snuggie I'm sure I wouldn't survive it.
@NewsBunny: I am going to kick any guy in the balss if I see them walking a f'ing dog with this on the animal and I will b!tch slap any woman for that matter. This makes me want to barf! We're getting waaaaaaaay to close to our housepets in this country and it is getting really weird. What's next? Marriage?
Wait, I get it now. This is a script from SNL or SCTV, right? Oh ha ha ha,,,now I get it. Whew,,had me worried. I thought this shit was real.
@Dabby: All of my dogs have had fur... natures snuggie. I suppose if you have a hairless dog, but I would say that you had better live in a warm climate for those things anyway.
With the talking dog tag, I'll be set if a blind person finds my dog.
@LeChiffre: Are you a former Facebook poster, by any chance? I'm not sure saying you're going to "b!tch slap" a woman and "kick any guy in the balss" [sic] is going to endear you to other posters.
What is up with Snuggie? I just saw a commercial for the kid's snuggie - yes a child size version (because the kids in the original snuggie commercial were just SWIMMING in all that material). The saddest part of the commercial is the very end where a young boy is forced to do the macarena in a snuggie. These people must be stopped!!
@Paul Carr: Not all dogs, regardless of fur, are cold weather dogs. This product, as well as many other garments, will help keep dogs warm when they need it.
actually the dogs look better in snuggies than people do.
that said,w hat does it take to get a comment posted on here?
Maybe I should stop wasting my time and stop telling people to read this site. Bye bye!

that first dog (bichon frise? poodle?) is NOT leash trained.
