Trying to take a photo with a pet can be a challenge but online retailer Zulily is helping to simplify the process of taking pet selfies with its Sniff & Snap phone accessory. This tool for pet parents is launching ahead of National Dog Day this year, offering an easy-to-use accessory that can snap onto the back of any smartphone. The dishwasher-safe device is capable of holding a pet's favorite treat, so that pets will be attracted to the scent and their attention can be held long enough to create what Zulily calls the perfect "Insta-worthy pet portrait."

According to Zulily, the Sniff & Snap for pet lovers is not just suited for dogs but also cats, rather and other creatures.
