To confirm this information, I looked at a second source, an article from USA Today. This article corroborates the details mentioned in the NBC report, stating that Crocs indeed partnered with BARK for this product launch and highlights the features of the shoes, including the breathable foam and adjustable straps. The USA Today article mentions that the shoes aim to provide comfort and protection for dogs, especially during outdoor activities. Additionally, it notes the significance of the Jibbitz, which are decorative charms that can be attached to the shoes, further adding to their appeal. I might have to get matching crocs with my dog.

This is true. Crocs are releasing shoes for dogs after partnering with BARK and are selling them for $50.00. Crocs has officially put them on their website and they do in fact come in three sizes small, medium, and large fitting dogs between 15-80 lbs. They also highlight a "unique glow in the dark effect."

It looks like the information is mostly true, the article says that the Pet Crocs are designed for dogs weighing up to 80 pounds, but does not specify all dogs. Overall, the other details are very accurate.
