Target and BarkShop have come together to release the 'Couch Pawtatoes' collection of cute dog toys, which includes an entire range of toys and treats inspired by the act of lazing around in the living room. While some of the novelty pet toys take the shape of TV dinner trays and boxes of Chinese takeout, others take after home items like comfy chairs, remote controls and old-school television sets. There are also a few fashion-inspired accessories in the range, including bunny slipper toys and sweatpant-shaped squeaker toys.

To round out the collection, Target and BarkShop also included comfort food-inspired snacks for pets such as the 'BARK Muttloaf TV Dinner Beef Dog Snacks' and the 'BARK Bucket of Fried Licken Chicken Dog Snacks.'
