Chia Pets are a brand of collectible animal figurines originated by the San Francisco, California-based company Joseph Enterprises Inc. Chia Pets are traditional Mexican animal-shaped clay figures covered with chia, where the chia sprouts resemble the animal's fur. Chia Pets achieved widespread popularity in the 1980s following the 1982 release of a ram, the first Chia Pet. The theme song for this collectible item is "Ch-ch-ch-chia!"

Either the heads or bodies of the chias are made with seeds, they also all hold a drip tray so when you water them the water doesn't splash all over.
