The dachshund in the video above is called Lolli. She’s the official model for Disco Dog, an LED vest for your pooch that can be controlled using your smartphone.
Party New York, the creative agency behind Disco Dog, just closed a successful $22,527 Kickstarter campaign to create 45 vests for a select band of backers. Bad news though! It has no plans to make more.
That means you won’t be able to dress your beloved canine up in colored lights or make use of the iPhone app which lets you choose colors and design custom patterns. There’s even a ‘lost dog’ mode that turns the LEDs into an SOS beacon.
The price for a small vest, like the one modelled by Lolli, was $300 during the crowdfunding campaign, with medium and large options priced at $350 and $400 respectively.
If you’re as sad as I am that you won’t get to see your pet dressed as a Disco Dog, please enjoy the cheerful GIF below as a small consolation.

Lynn-Dah is a Nudist.
She doesn’t even like a collar.
She would not be caught DEAD in that! LOL!
His Royal Highness, Dr. Oslo Spinchterhausen, M.D., The Crowned Prince of Overlookastan would never wear this thing.
He has far too much taste (and a kingly sense of humor).

Madam in something like that, never!!
But if you have one for cats..
Purina, Alpo....
Why can’t people trim their dog’s nails?
Our 100+ lb male is stronger than this 71 yo woman.
Our Jack Russell gets hers filed when she begins gouging my arms.
Used to know a GSD in Brooklyn who had the neatest nails. He had a concrete patio, no dirt, so he filed them his own self. RIP King, good boy!
I think most people don’t understand the damage that occurs from nails that are left too long. It’s difficult to do, but starting as puppies all dogs should be made to accept nail trimming on a weekly basis. It shouldn’t come down to a matter of who is stronger.
We got a GSP who was a year old when we got him and had never been trained to accept nail trimming. Eventually he grudgingly accepted it, but was always on the verge of bolting if our attention waivered. I learned from him! The three GSPs we have now willingly come over, lay down, roll over on their backs and lay there while I trim and then dremel their nails. But, I do it on a weekly basis so it has become routine.
If it works; why wouldn’t they market it?
Love it!
