[News] Snuggies go to the dogs - YorkieTalk.com Forums

First, they took over television with a viral commercial. Then pub crawls were devoted to them. Now, Snuggies have come for the dogs.

Last week, Allstar Products introduced the pup-sized version of the product — a replica of the original with room for four legs.

In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Anne Flynn, director of marketing for the company explained, "The original Snuggie blanket was such a success, we decided to extend the product line to include the entire family, which, for many of us, means a dog."

And with millions of the original product already in households and many more millions of animal lovers across the country, the product could be a big seller when the cold season returns.

"Snuggie stands for cozy, warmth and functionality ... and dogs need to stay comfy on their morning walks and on those chilly winter evenings too," Flynn told PEOPLE Pets. "Many Snuggie customers are also dog owners, and we didn't want the owners feeling bad about the jealous glances from their pets any longer."

The dog Snuggies are designed similarly to the human version. "We had to keep the back secure like a coat so dogs could walk comfortably in it," said Flynn. "But we wanted to keep the feel of the original Snuggie. It was important to maintain the look, fabric and label."

Flynn shared that since last week's launch, the company has received an "overwhelming response" to the product. Though they're only available online for now, starting in September, Snuggies for Dogs will hit shelves at Walmart, PetSmart, Petco, CVS, Walgreens, Kohls and Bed, Bath & Beyond.

So are Snuggies for Cats in the future? "You never know what we'll come up with next," hinted Flynn.

I know a lady who made these a long time ago! She sewed fleece sweaters that your dog steps into and it does up at the back, just like this one! She should've marketed them

DaisySantola · 08-04-2009, 02:54 PM

oooo I can't wait!!! I love my snuggies! I have two at the house, one in the car, and one at the office!!! And Baby and Chancie LOVE sleeping on them

jmdt · 08-04-2009, 07:15 PM

Here ya go, buy one and get one free, plus......... a trcotable dog tag. I probably would not put that on Jemma. She's eat it, lol. But I might use something like that to record, "in case of emergency info, ICE. My daughters name and telephone number. Put it on my key chain.

I heard that next month they are going to be selling them in stores, so if you don't need two and don't want to pay shipping, there is time to wait until winter!

I know thanks for the tip .. I had my bridal shower registry there and they took all my expired coupons to complete some stuff and they took them.. awesome!

This is the cutest thing EV-er! Thanks for letting us know. I will add it to my wish list and be watching for them. I think that they must be onto something since several ppl said that their dog sleeps on them. I can hardly wait to see they are as cute as they sound. Seems like a good Christmas gift for your own dog or someone else's.
