Doggle

I’ve always wanted to teach my dogs (well, Mingus – Dottie’s not smart enough) to fetch me a beer from the fridge. I mean, really, how much would that trick kill at parties — plus just be generally useful in daily life? I think the Doggle, designed by Tommaso Ceschi for United Pets, might be a crucial tool in my mission.

Doggle is essentially a rubber bottle shape with a rope attached, following what I’ve found to be a truism with dog-toy design: simpler is always better. Doggle’s bottle shape and rope handle make it great for tossing, fetching, chewing… and maybe, just maybe, teaching Mingus to fetch me a cold brewski.

United Pets is a European company, but their products are available at selected stores in the United States.

Katherine, who lives with her family in the mountains of North Carolina, curated her own dog blog for a couple of years before joining the Design Milk team. If she ever won the lottery, she’d most definitely spend it all on live music & airfare to New York City. Other interests include craft beer, banjos, books, & BBQ.
