Trader Joe’s ‘Dog Days of Summer’ Planters

The planters are only a few inches in diameter, and each one comes with a teeny tiny plant inside. Plant varieties depend on your Trader Joe’s location; we’ve spotted red peperomias, pothos, pink syngoniums, Pilea ‘Moon Valley,’ and ferns, to name a few.

You’ll find orange, yellow, and pink dog-shaped planters on Trader Joe’s shelves this summer, each one wearing a pair of sunglasses in pink, blue, or green. The sunglasses are movable, so you can tilt them up and reveal your dog planter’s eyes. How cute is that?

Each dog planter retails for $6, regardless of what plant is inside. While the plants will someday outgrow their tiny dog planter, you can easily replace them with a slow-growing option when the time comes. A small succulent, like a living stone, zebra cactus, or mini air plant, would be a good option for these planters, since they stay compact.

Customers Can’t Help but Fall in Love with These Pet Planters

“It was hard to resist getting more than one,” a shopper commented on r/traderjoes. “Did I need another plant? No. Did I need a dog planter? Definitely yes,” they added.

“I’m trying very hard to convince myself I don’t need one… but we all know how this story ends,” another shopper joked on Instagram. Whether you need a gift for every dog lover in your life or just want to brighten up your windowsill with a colorful planter, there’s no denying that these plant pots are difficult to pass up.

Customers have already spotted these dog planters at Trader Joe’s locations across the country. If your store hasn’t received any yet, keep an eye out over the next few weeks—once they drop, they’re bound to sell out fast.
