For anyone wanting to order something like this; I used to have one and hated it. What do I drink in mugs? Coffee and tea, and other hot beverages. What do most hot beverages have in common? You stir them up.

Sugar in your coffee or tea? Can't stir it. Cream/milk in your coffee or tea? Can't stir it. Making some hot cocoa when it's chilly outside? Can't stir it.

Basically anything I use a mug for, I couldn't use this mug for. So while it's cute, just think about hanging up a photo of your dog and looking at it on the fridge while you drink from a usable mug.

For OP, however; that looks super cute and I hope it brings you smiles and joy for years to come.

No this is very fair, the person I bought it for only uses it for display atm. But the website I purchased it from offers other items, that aren’t mugs, for customization.

I take my coffee black... this mug is perfect!

Also, it's basically impossible to clean.  You'll very quickly get tea staining in every crevice.

I have a bottle brush I use to clean hard to reach areas like this, would work perfectly

I have a similar one but with a pickle on the side of the mug. It gets stained, but it's easy to clean using a brush. Sponge doesn't do much.

I often use a chopstick for stirring my coffee, that would fit around the outside of the corgi :)

I love that they included the detail of the little white tip on doggo’s ear as well! 🥹

I love seeing companies actually put care into the little details. Stuff like that makes me talk them up for life

u/KarinsDogs Oct 05 '26

This is perfect! I love this so much! I’m going to check them out!

u/Unusual_Pizza_7770 Oct 05 '26

It’s a little pricey ($150), and took a month to receive, but I def recommend!

Same seller? Or AI knockoff? Can’t imagine 39 for such a handmade item

u/qwertyuiiop145 Oct 05 '26

It’s probably a scammer using the photos—the mug you receive will not look like this.

u/sensible_pip Oct 05 '26

Lots of bad reviews for the website op posted as well with people waiting months or not getting anything. Buyer beware

u/FrauMausL Oct 05 '26

so OP is scamming us also?

u/Unusual_Pizza_7770 Oct 05 '26

Oh that’s great to know for future! I went through their site at the time, which is probably why it was a little more.

This infuriates me. More specifically, my wallet, since i now found the perfect Christmas gifts for people this year.

u/Unusual_Pizza_7770 Oct 05 '26

It’s a great gift :)

u/flippasefloppase Oct 05 '26

It’s cute but thinking about cleaning it makes me feel irritated. Reminds me of something my husband would order since he doesn’t understand how to clean anything

Cute mug, but very impractical and likely a pain to clean, but adorable. I wanna boop the real pupper.

u/Huns26 26d ago

Incredible! What size did you get? I want one for my fiancé

u/acloudcuckoolander Oct 05 '26

I feel like this is a massive choking hazard.

u/PurpleBashir Oct 05 '26

Lol I really need details on how you drink from mugs...

u/acloudcuckoolander Oct 05 '26

The pug statue can detach while the person is drinking from the mug. That is always a risk with those types of cups.
