FLIPS + FLOPS By Flip-Flop
Editor’s Note: These are simply musings from Flip-Flop, an exuberant & opinionated shaggy dog. They are not any sort of product endorsement or “dis” by this publication or any member of our editorial team. Just a bit about stuff she likes (Flips) and stuff she doesn’t (Flops)!
Clever Summer Product
Cool Masks
Here’s a great way to easily keep your pups and kiddos cool this summer. This collapsible pool from Camping World is easy to set up, take down and move around for camping or visiting friends this summer. Plus, it’s not an eye sore like the bright blue plastic pools. This is on my summer wish list for sure! (CampingWorld.com)
If you’re still wearing a mask at times, I think these dog-face designs I found online are cool! They come in three fun breeds: Labrador, Maltese or Pomeranian. Or you may customize a mask with one of your own photos…perhaps one with your own adorable pup’s face? (SimplyToImpress.com)
Flip -Flop Odd Summer Product
This Pawcet Dog Drinking Fountain makes no sense to me. I guess you attach it to a hose and then train us dogs to press on it to get a spurt of cool water! Why in the world wouldn’t just a fresh bowl of water suffice? Sometimes I think humans overthink things! (TractorSupply.com)
Crazy Masks
Speaking of dog masks, these are taking it way too far! Imagine the heat trapped under the latex, and breathing could be kind of tough too. Perhaps they might be an easy option for a Halloween costume, but not for everyday mask wear! (OddityMall.com)
Fun Feline Feeder
The Dr. Catsby Whisker Relief cat bowl offers the ulti-mutt design for fine, stress-free dining for felines! It’s wide with shallow sides, designed so whiskers won’t touch the edge of the bowl…thus eliminating whisker fatigue. Yes, you heard me right! Cat whiskers are like sensory antennas and, apparently, can suffer overload when they come in contact with too many objects. Think this bowl is a total FLIP for felines! (DrCatsby.com)
Dumb Feline Feeder
This enclosed feeding dome may be great for cats as it prevents canine siblings from getting to their food. However, I don’t think it’s great at all, as there is nothing more fun for a dog...than tweaking & teasing their feline friend…by stealing their stinky cat food. From a dog’s perspective, this is a total FLOP. (feed-safe.com)
