Product Description
Tweets are the new Barks! Ever wonder what your pup is doing while you're away? Well, now you can get the 411 with text messages from Puppy Tweets! Whenever your dog moves, barks (or just naps), the tag knows it and sends a WiFi signal to your computer which then sends you a Tweet via Twitter. Simply set up a Twitter page for your dog and your Puppy Tweets tag starts generating Tweets. Puppy Tweets comes pre-loaded with over 500 phrases that put a humorous or insightful spin on your dog's daily activity. For example, a bark may generate a Tweet of: "I bark because I miss you. There I said it. Now hurry home." A quick run through the house could produce: "I finally caught that tail I've been chasing and?OOUUUCHH!" Invite your friends and family to follow your pet on Twitter and help your dog follow his or her favorite puppy pals or celebrities. Puppy Twitter lets you connect with your pet over the Internet. It's a great way to brighten your day 'cause a Tweet from your pooch is a virtual smooch!

I loved the idea of this thing. But there are tons of problems.
First off, the thing is big. It drove our 20 pound dogs crazy.
Secondly, getting it to connect to our computer and stay connected was a pain.
Third, the tweets were really dumb. They didn't seem to have much to do with what the dog was doing. A lot of bad puns. Plus, I'm pretty sure it tweeted once when a dog didn't even have the collar on.
We sent them back the same day we got them, I really can't recommend these at all.
 Complete scam! August 25, 2010

This product does not live up to any vague hints Mattel's product description makes. The tweets are clearly just cliches like "L'il help! Nose stuck in bird feeder!" and "I chase parked cars, you use wrinkle cream. I think that makes us even." (We don't own a bird feeder and our dog does not chase cars.) Then there was "Come home soon - my tummy is open for scratching" that was sent out at around 3 am in the morning. A computer programmer could easily write the same script for Twitter, and the automated tweets would not require the USB or collar device. I doubt these items have any working purpose at all, aside from making this look like a legit product. Please don't waste your money.
Puppytweets is a fake! August 23, 2010
Joseph Palazzi
I waited 5 months for PuppyTweets to come out. The day I received it I set up a Twitter account for my boy and hooked up the antenna to my PC. Got a couple tweets while it was around my dogs neck and thought it was lame but oh well. I took off his collar when it was bed time. Over the night we got 5 or 6 more tweets from him. I thought, ok, maybe it is close to the antenna and it thought he was laying down. Because the thing that goes on his collar was so big, I wasn't going to leave it on him during the day in case he tried to eat it. I unplugged the antenna during the day when it wasn't on his neck. Well, wouldn't you know we got tweets from him...all day...1 an hour. For the next 2 days I left it unplugged and got a tweet once an hour. I have uninstalled the program from my computer, boxed up PuppyTweets and sent it back to Amazon.
Unfortunately, this product is a fake! The motion sensor, time of day and microphone have nothing to do with what it sends out.

I just got the Puppy Tweets for my dog. I'm one of those crazy dog lovers who feels guilty during the day while I'm at work and he's at home. I've never been on Twitter but thought it sounded fun. When I got puppy tweets I was concerned I wouldn't be able to figure out how to work the Twitter part. However, the instructions to me step by step the set up process and it was simple to create an account for my dog. Now he is happily tweeting me during the day while I'm at work. The tweets are fun and silly keeping me entertained! If you love your dog or know someone who loves their dog this would make a great Christmas gift!
Good, clean, fun! August 12, 2010

Puppy Tweets is great little gadget. Is it tweeting what my dog is actually doing? No - but it never promised to do this. it's a fun little toy that keeps me entertained at work. the tweets are often enough to keep me laughing every once in a while. i think it's lots of fun and wouldn't hesitate to get this as a fun gift for a dog person.
