This has got to be one of the cutest dog toys. I mean, if you have a Stanley tumbler, why shouldn’t your furry friend have one too?

28. Teddy Harness
Quite possibly the cutest harness out there! If your dog didn’t look like a teddy bear before, they will wearing this harness. It’s a great two in one so you can still attach their leash while they stay warm.
The hood is also good if it rains or snows to keep the water out of their eyes.
29. Pet Car Seat
It’s kind of like a booster seat for a little kid. It will keep them safe, that way they feel stable and comfortable enough to lie down if they want and take a nap.

You can create a little sanctuary for them by adding their favorite toys, a bed, some potty pads, and a cozy blanket.
