Behind the scenes

The episode title is a reference to the Scholastic book series The Baby-Sitters Club.
Smarmaduke is a not-very-subtle parody of Marmaduke.
Townsville has its own Heidelberg for some reason.
There is a foreshadowing of Bliss in one of the newspaper scenes, who is officially revealed in "Find Your Bliss" as the older teen sister of the Powerpuff Girls.
For no reason whatsoever, the names of Poodles Canoodles and the Butt Sniffer have been changed to Frenchy and Bootius T. Sniffer in "In the Doghouse."
Al Cacone does not return in "In the Doghouse."
