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 Snoop Dogg clothing assortment from JPI Pets launching on Amazon.com personifies the iconic rapper's style with a hip hop and urban feel.
