10 'boozy' cat and dog toys for your favorite party animals
From ‘White Paws’ to ‘Cosmuttpolitans,’ these cocktail-themed pet toys will get the good times rolling for four-legged friends.
Pets: They’re just like us. And thanks to a rise in cocktail parody cat and dog toys, it’s easier than ever for your animal sidekicks to express themselves, have fun and let loose — and they’ll fit right in at those summer BBQs. These toys are bougie, they’re cushy and, in some cases, squeaky; a few of them are even pre-filled with catnip for a little extra buzz.
From “Hound Noons” to “Apawrol Spritzes” (and plenty of “KittiKocktails” in between), read on for an adorable, hilarious curation of booze-themed pet plushies that will keep your pets occupied and happy. They make great gifts — for your furry friends and fellow pet owners — and are sure to be the topic of conversation at outdoor brunches, pool parties and liquid lunches.
The best booze-themed pet toys for maxing and relaxing:
First up is this playful trio of plush squeak cans from Haute Diggity Dog, complete with three "flavors" — Bark Cherry, Lickety Lime and Muttlennial Mango — for performing all of their favorite party tricks. (I picked up a set for my family dog and, as you can tell from the photo above, she’s loving it.)
For a more budget- (and vacay-) friendly "Claw" option, consider this dynamic duo of plush squeak toys from Nestpark. It boasts two tropical libations — Mutt Mango and Waggermelon — at only $7 a pop, allowing your dog to escape (at least mentally) whenever they want.
Get your cat in on the boozy pet toy craze with this "Whisker Claw" from Quirky Kitty. Ringing in under $5, the mini plush is pre-filled with catnip and capped with a feather. It even comes with a corresponding lime!
You’ve heard of High Noon … but what about "Hound Noon," one of the coolest "pawdka and soda" plush squeak toys to grace the playground? This set from Bark Bros includes two different designs (ahem, flavor profiles) for twice the fun.
There’s nothing like an ice-cold beer on a warm day. And this "Grrrona" — an "impawted Mexican beer" plush dog toy — is pretty much guaranteed to be a good time.
Keep the party going with this smooth set of Twincritter’s "KittiKocktails." Each plush bottle arrives stuffed with all-natural, wild-harvested silvervine for a little extra nip (There's also a zipper along the side so you can refill them as needed).
Of course, nothing says happy hour like a Cosmopolitan, and this plush dog toy version is equipped with a squeaker and garnish for added panache. Scoop it up for the busy dog who could use a little breather (we also like this for the metropolitan pup in your life).
The Aperol Spritz started taking over boozy brunches a few years ago — and it’s still going strong. Consider this dog-friendly plush toy adaptation (aptly called "Apawrol Spritz") for occupying any animal friends who happen to tag along.
While on the topic of brunch, it doesn’t get much bougier than this rosé-themed squeaker from Haute Diggity Dog. Inscribed with the "rosé all day" mantra on one side, it makes a prime gift for the pet owner or canine who appreciates the finer things in life.
Last but not least is this highfalutin' "Woof Clicquot," another popular pick from Haute Diggity Dog's "Champup" collection. It's a shoo-in for the top-shelf pooch who just so happens to be attending a derby (viewing parties count) or tends to mingle among a fancier (living room) set.
