There’s no denying that we’ve seen some crazy pet gear in our time. There were the custom-made slippers designed to look just like your pet – not to mention the umbrella leash for your pooch.
But now New Idea Food now have found something that takes the cake – swim shorts for your dog!
Created by Kove Mate, the boardies are just the thing for your furry friend for long days at the beach. And the best part? You can buy matching ones for yourself! Ha!
Made from 93 per cent recycled water bottles and 7% spandex, the shorts are environmentally friendly – which is obviously very important when choosing swim shorts for your dog!
Says the company: ‘Kove recycles 8 water bottles in every swimsuit so you not only look good, you can feel good too knowing you are making a difference.’
The shorts come in two colours – sage green with stripes and cyan blue – and are available in three sizes. They have a mesh insert – ‘to keep everything in place’ – and enough stretch to make them comfortable for any breed of dog. They cost $US25 and can be shipped to Australia – click here for more!

So far the product has had one review, earning five stars from one very happy customer who posted lots of adorable snaps of her labrador wearing the trunks.
She writes: ‘These are amazing. Got a pair for my dog. Ordered a size XL and it fit him well. He’s a 100 pound lab!
‘I’m blown away that the fabric is made from recycled water bottles. I’m going to order a matching swimsuit for my husband. My new favourite brand!’
Cuuuuute!
