Doggy Pedometer
Keep track on Fido’s exercise regime. Not only is it a pedometer, it’s also a timer and a dog tag rolled into one.

The Luxury Jet-Spa comes with five massaging whirlpool jets, fill-flush whirlpool cleaning system and the tub is available in 50 different colors. If you prefer your pet to receive a good washing versus a whirlpool experience, you can try the Pet Spa.

Bow-Lingual Dog Translator
Translates your dog’s barks into one of six emotions: happy, sad, frustrated, on guard, assertive or needy. Provides a phrase matched to the emotion to represent what your dog might say if it could speak. “Home Alone” mode allows the system to translate while you are away (up to 12 hours). Bow-Lingual maintains a record of the 100 most recent barks.

Dog Walker Treadmill
Dog Walker Treadmill. For the lazy ass dog owner, just put good ‘ol Spike on the treadmill and let him burn those calories. Burn, baby, burn
Talking Dog Bowl
I think Gizmodo sums up the Talking Pet Bowl the best.
Although a dog bowl that plays back a recorded message for your dog may seem like a good idea at first, it really isn’t. Sure, the “comforting your pet while you’re away” angle is nice, but what about when you’re home?
Will Fido understand that no, you’re not hiding near the dog bowl? Or will he spend hours searching your house, tearing apart your newly-purchased sheets and blankets in a costly game of hide-and-seek?

Laser Pool Cue
The next time you are playing pool and your opponent ups the ante, you better hope he does not bring this bad boy out. Of course, if you are looking to make a little more money for school this could be an investment. The laser-guided regulation-sized pool cue (first of its kind) has a ‘harmless’ visible laser that provides a precise guide for lining up the perfect shot. The touch sensor on/off switch features both manual and automatic shut-off to preserve battery life. The set includes a 58-inch two-piece cue, two tip scuffers, two chalks, three replacement leather-tipped ferrules, and a hard-side, zippered nylon carrying case with shoulder strap and accessory pocket. Now, go out there and hustle.
