According to an NBC news article, The brand announced on October 9th that they are releasing pet crocs. They partnered with the company BARK and the shoes have breathable foam and an adjustable strap. They come in small, medium, and large and are for all dogs up to 80 pounds. They are listed at $50 and there are also special dogs Crocs Jibbitz

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 claim is true and really cool as they are also making matching pairs for dog owners. It will be incredibly cute and wholesome so see people walking around with their dogs in crocs.

This article is accurate as the brand Crocs has directly supported alongside the news article the report. Crocs has shared that the new release of crocs will support many different sizes of dogs and will offer matching styles with the owners human style crocs.

This claim, while it sounds like it could be satire, is true! It is a funny new collaboration with Crocs and Bark. The Bark Box website lists the Crocs available as "free" for new subscribers. Bark Box is a monthly subscription-based surprise box containing dog-related items such as treats and toys. The Crocs come in 2 colors, 3 sizes, and are glow-in-the-dark for increased creativity and safety. The product is no longer available on the Croc website: https://www.crocs.com/p/pet-crocs-boots/211352.html but it appears they are just no longer available for purchase directly from Crocs.

I decided to fact check this because I love Crocs! I own at least 5 pairs of them. Once I saw this claim I had to do more research. After reading the NBC news article I wanted to find another source/article to confirm. I decided to take a look at an article from USA Today. In the article it mentions that Crocs partnered with BARK to make shoes with adjustable straps for dogs. In the article it states that these shoes are aimed at outdoor activities to be comfy and breathable for the pets. After doing extra research behind this claim I can confirm that this is true and there are Crocs for dogs!
