Several color variations, upgrades, and alternate versions based on different animals were produced. The iDog Amp'd had animatronic technology that allowed it to move its legs to the music as well as its head; the iDog Pup completely removed the iPod capabilities and would simply move its head to any sounds it picked up on its microphone; the iDog Clip was a clip-on device that was shaped like an iDog head and would function as a speaker much like the original toy; the iDog Dance had more complex animatronic capabilities compared to even the iDog Amp'd that allowed it to dance to the music, with its head being shaped differently; and the iDog Soft Speaker was a plush version of the iDog Amp'd that retained the [=iPod=] functionality and [=LEDs=]. The iDog Plush Puppy, one of the last iDog released, had essentially the same function as the iDog Soft Speaker and also had a clip on it similar to the iDog Clip, but didn't have [=LEDs=]. Versions crossing over with Music/{{KISS}} and ''Franchise/SpiderMan'' (the latter in commemoration of ''Film/SpiderMan3'') were made as well.

The original iDog has a jack that you were intended to plug your iPod (or other music device) into, causing it to bop its head to whatever music you had on and acting as a speaker for the iPod's audio. It also has seven LED lights on its eyes that would light up to indicate its mood, often in relation to whatever music you had playing for it.

For funsies, I created a work page for the first time in a while. Mostly because I wanted to surprise people (the iDog has too little plot for you to expect it to have a decent trope page, and yet here we are).

!!iDog and its other versions contain the following tropes:
* CartoonPenguin: One of the colors the iCy could come in was a simple black-and-white scheme.
* CharacterInTheLogo: The logo featured the seven-LED face of the iDog in place of the dot in the "i".
* ColorCodedEmotions: The [=LEDs=] indicate the iDog's mood; if they're green, it's happy, if they're yellow, it's feeling alright, and if they're yellow, the iDog is angry.
* HighTechHexagons: The arrangement of the [=LEDs=] on the robotic, futuristic iDog and friends resembles a hexagon.
* IProduct: [=iDog=]. Justified, as the toy was meant to be used with an iPod.
* NoPlotNoProblem: There was absolutely no lore to the iDog apart from "it vibes to whatever music you play on your [=iPod=]".

* PunnyName: The iCy. It's a penguin, which is associated with ice. The word "icy" in this case is combined with the CamelCase that comes with the iProduct trope.
* RobotDog: The iDog is a sleek, robotic dog meant to be used as a speaker for your iPod.
* VisualPun: The "Happy Version" of the iDog has stars for its [=LEDs=] - it's literally starry-eyed.
* WingdingEyes: Alternate versions of the iDog exist that turned its [=LEDs=] into stars and hearts, known as the "Happy Version" and the "Lovely Version" respectively.
