I just read a press release about a new line of Snoop Dogg branded pet products that will be available for pre-order at Amazon.com on November 21st, to coincide with the release of the rapper’s new Snoop Dogg CD, Tha Blue Carpet Treatment.

The Snoop Dogg pet line, features dog toys, apparel and
accessories inspired by the iconic “doggfather” himself, including items featuring a sound chip that plays signature Snoop Dogg phrases (which I hope is an edited version of the phrases I hear him saying).

The first assortment in the Snoop Dogg line-up includes a DJ headset, (for the dog?) boom box, (once again, for the dog?) dogg bone and football, all of which are double stitched and made from durable plush and ballistic fabrics for safe and fun play for dogs. (Oh, these are plush toys, PHEW!)

From a boom box and Doberman plush toy that play bona fide sound clips of Snoop Dogg himself, to a canvas bone with a squeaker, Snoop Dogg toys keep dogs and their hip hop loving owners grooving together. Suggested retail prices range from $5.99-$8.99.

The clothing assortment personifies the iconic rapper’s style with a hip hop and urban feel. Styles in the first assortment include a Snoop Dogg doggie basketball jersey, animal print faux fur coat and a doggfather hoodie sweatshirt.

All of the dog apparel are available in a variety of sizes from extra small to extra large, creating a walking fashion statement for fans of the Hip Hop legend and their dogs. Suggested retail price range from $12.99-$24.99.

Major retailers will carry the line as well in spring 2007.
