    33 Products That’ll Help You Solve All Those Embarrassing Pet Problems You Have

    Stinky litter boxes, tear stains, and hidden accidents are no match for you anymore.

    1. A Zesty Paws allergy supplement your pup may think are just tasty treats, when in fact they're filled with probiotics and other nutrients that can help improve their digestion, promote calm skin, add shine to their coats, and improve their immunity.

    Owners who have dogs with skin conditions swear by this supplement to give their pup some relief.

    Promising review: "I purchased these due to my Lab having skin allergies along with digestive issues. Both dogs look forward to having their daily 'treat,' and my Lab hasn't had skin or digestive issues since taking it. I bought them again!" —Laurel H.

    Get them from Amazon for $26.97 (available in five styles and three size packs).

    2. A cleaning magnet here to make one of the more annoying cleaning tasks easier because your fish deserve a nice, clean home to live in. You can attach the magnet to the side of the tank and move it around from the outside to help remove algae buildup and keep the tank clean so your fish don't plan their escape back to the ocean a la Finding Nemo. 🐡

    Each cleaning magnet comes with one pad for glass aquariums and one pad for acrylic aquariums. 

    Promising reviews: "This product is genius. I hated scrubbing the inside of my tank. You can never get the proper leverage, not to mention the mess it makes with the water splashing around. This product was easy to use. It is easy to shift around corners, and it did the job. I even dropped it once and was able to teenage the magnet from outside. Amazing product." —LR

    "All the time I spent with a long-handled brush scaring my fish while I scrubbed away at the walls of the tank, and never once did I think of making something like this. This is incredible! I used to let my tank get a lot dirtier than it should have been because cleaning it was such a messy, time-consuming chore. I saw this while I was looking for a tank to get my daughter's beta fish, and it looked like such a good idea, I thought there couldn't be any harm in spending a few bucks to try it out. IT. WORKS. In less than five minutes, I had every surface of the tank scrubbed clean, and I didn't have to get my hands in the tank, didn't have to scrub for half an hour with a sponge on a long handle, and didn't spill water all over the counter. The difference in just one pass was like night and day. Now a couple of hours later (giving the filter a chance to get rid of the stuff that ended up in the water) and the tank is crystal clear. It's so easy and quick, I'll end up cleaning more often, and the tank won't end up the way it did before. I 100% recommend this." —Jack H

    Get it from Amazon for $7.58+ (available in four sizes).

    3. Chom Chom pet hair remover for anyone who can't seem to escape the loads of hair that end up covering their furniture. Seriously, sometimes it feels like they lose every single hair on their body every day. Simply roll it on the upholstery, and it will grab every last strand.

    Promising review: "TikTok made me buy this, and it is money well spent!! I’m convinced that my beagle sheds a full coat of hair and regrows it daily! I use this on my bed every single day and it blows my mind how well it works. Before this, I was going through 4–5 disposable sticky rollers a month and spending 3x longer to remove dog hair. I am buying these for everyone in my family as Christmas gifts this year! ❤️" —tiff4short

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in white and pink). 

    4. A poop bag dispenser designed with a flashlight on the end so you can actually see where your dog does their business in the dark. No more squinting and looking around, going, "I know it's here somewhere." You'll illuminate it so you can pick it up and move on with your life as the good dog owner you are.

    You also get a 15-count roll of lavender-scented waste bags, a metal carabiner, and a webbing loop fastener for hooking onto your dog's leash or harness.

    Promising review: "I needed a poop bag holder that I could attach to my leash. While there are plenty of cheap-quality plastic options out there, I went with this option because it had the added feature of a flashlight. I'm not always home in time to walk my puppy before the sun goes down, so having the light attached to the holder is perfect (especially when I forget my phone on the way out of my house). I highly recommend if you'll be trying to scoop the poop in the dark." —Nikki

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in five colors).

    5. A waterless dry shampoo for your cat who HAAATES water with a burning passion. This spray will ensure that they get clean (and smell good) without putting them into the bath. You'll both be so thankful for this.

    Promising reviews: "This is genius. It's the only way I can bathe my cat without serious injury. It smells terrific." —Christina McCall

    "This is the first review I’ve written that I can think of, and I have to say I love this product. I did a ton of research to find a shampoo for my cat who has thick fur, sheds all the time, and in the summer her fur mattes. On every website, this was a product that was either #1 or top 5. It’s waterless, which is great since water makes her fur matte more. When I brush it through her fur, it picks up so much hair and leaves her smelling so good and so soft. She doesn’t like feeling wet, so it’s a bit of a hassle to wash her, but compared to an actual bath, this is a great alternative. We haven’t had to shave her yet thanks to this product. I highly recommend it, and I’m buying it again for sure." —Jocelyn

    Get it from Amazon for $9.81.

    6. stain- and odor-eliminating spray that provides a quick one-two punch to not only remove the spots but also smells that may have ended up in your carpet from your furry friends. It lifts away dirt and grime while releasing enzymes to break down the odors.

    Promising review: "I would highly recommend this product! It's a game-changer for pet owners like me. Not only is it safe for our furry friends and kids, but it's also certified gentle and safe. Plus, the enzyme activation is a genius touch. Say goodbye to those stubborn stains and odors! This stain and odor eliminator is like a superhero for your home, rescuing your carpets from the clutches of pet accidents. It's easy to use and incredibly effective. I've tried countless products before stumbling upon this gem, and nothing even comes close. Trust me, you won't regret giving it a try!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $19.16.

    7. Or an Angry Orange pet odor eliminator if you want an option that'll add a citrus scent to your home (it's one of the reasons more than 79,300 reviewers love it) while still removing all evidence of pet accidents from your floor and furniture. That puppy stage may be ~ruff~, but you don't need to leave a reminder on your carpet for the rest of time.

    Promising review: "This product is amazing!!!! We have a Rottweiler pup and a bichon pup and our house was feeling the PAIN! I tried everything and use to tell my wife, 'With all the science and technology in the world we still can’t come up with something that gets rid of the dog mark smell!'

    This product does everything and more. Just ordered another round. We were about to throw away some furniture due to the smell and now after use we can keep it. Saved me hundreds. Well worth the money." —clayton s tonkin

    Get it from Amazon for $17.96.

    8. litter box enclosure that looks just like a cabinet but will actually give your cat a secure place to do their business. Nobody really wants to see a litter box hanging out in your home. Plus, it's designed with a built-in scratch pad to stop your kitty from tracking litter on their way out.

    Promising review: "Lovely design that matches any home. Super compact and the perfect size. Also traps scent from leaking out as well, and no more litter tracking!! My cat loves it." —Vika 

    Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in three colors). 

    9. Litter Genie litter disposal system because your fur baby deserves all the same cool gadgets as a real baby does. Okay...maybe not all of them, but this one is super helpful! If you live in a walkup or just don't want to empty the litter box every day, all you have to do is scoop the waste into the pail, and it will completely lock in the odor. That way, you can go a few days without having to take the litter to the trash and your home won't stink.

    the inside of the litter genie, showing it's lined with a blue plastic liner

    It can hold up to 14 days of cat litter for one cat, so you may fill it up quicker depending on how many kitties you have.

    Promising review: "This is genius. Totally improved the quality of our lives. We have two kitties — well, one big chubster and a skinny lady kitty. Two litter boxes in a 600-sq.-ft. house, OK? We were able to keep the smell MOSTLY in the laundry room by keeping the boxes in there, but dear the lord almighty when I need to do laundry!! And my man cleans them out mostly every day. We put this puppy between the boxes — and now I don't have to hear him griping every morning while he carries the kitchen trashcan in there, and it's all clumps AND stinky. In fact, we've had this maybe four months, and after his initial excitement of getting this...I haven't heard a peep about it — it's like magic. Surely our house had been reeking, and we didn't know. Hello, fresh clean air!! Kitties are happy, too. You know they can't smell it because the boxes are on either side of it, and they use it all day. Thank you!" —bange k.

    Get it from Amazon for $27.39. You can also get liner refills from Amazon for $26.29.

    10. A Clawguard, aka a scratch shield to protect your walls, doors, and even frames from sharp nails that attack it when your dog gets too excited or anxious.

    Reviewer pic of the guard attached to a do that already has some scratches near the bottom of it

    Plus, it's SO easy to install (it says it only takes about two seconds). All you have to do is pop it over your door knob, and your door (and the wall next to it) will be completely protected from any sharp claws.

    Promising reviews: "This is genius. Such a simple idea but works perfectly protecting my door and woodwork. I wish I had thought of it!" —Andera Stroud

    "We have a puppy who scratches our bedroom door to let us know he needs to go out. Don't get me wrong, it's great he tells us, but he started leaving marks on the door from scratching the same spot. It got to where I would spring out of bed from a dead sleep when I heard the scratching to keep the nail marks from getting worse. After ordering the HD Clawguard and hanging it on the inside of our door, our pup still scratches, but now it's only on the Clawguard. The Clawguard stays on the door and seems to be holding up just fine. Instead of jumping out of bed, I can stroll to the door with a smile knowing my door is protected. Absolutely brilliant. We should have ordered one weeks ago. We tried it on the back door, and it hangs without interfering with the deadbolt or coming in and out. We'll be ordering another today." —Brady K

    Get it from Amazon for $25.95 (available in three colors).

    11. A double-layered litter mat you can place right outside the litter box so the honeycomb design will catch and trap the litter that makes its way out of the box when your cat leaves. Then, you can just press on the side to open the mat and dump the litter back into the box or the trash. Your whole home will feel and look cleaner.

    www.amazon.com, Jenae Sitzes / BuzzFeed

    BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes says: "I've been using this trapper mat for months now, and while it's pretty much impossible to eliminate all litter from your home if you own even one cat, let alone multiple, this mat has made keeping the floor of my litter box room MUCH more manageable. Unlike other mats, where the litter just kind of sits on top and eventually gets kicked elsewhere, this mat is designed so that the litter falls through the holes and stays inside the mat until you're ready to dump it. It's made out of an EVA material that's supposed to be gentle enough for cat paws, and my two kitties don't seem to have a problem walking on it. I *highly* recommend getting the larger 30-by-24-inch mat to extend the coverage area — I initially got the smaller one but went back for the larger size, and it's perfect. Note that the mat will probably have a fold down the middle when it first arrives, but just give it some time and weigh it down with something if needed; it'll lay flat." 

    Promising review: "This thing sorts the litter, and it drops inside. It opens on one end like a pillowcase, and you can just shake the litter into a can, and it’s almost hands-free. The litter area looks 100 times better! Genius!" —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $14.49+ (available in two sizes, three colors, and also two packs).

    12. An antibacterial toothpaste because your dog's bad breath can be a little embarrassing for both of you. This will help you remove the plaque build-up on their teeth *and* leave their mouth feeling fresher so they don't blast you with that awful smell when they give you a big 'ole kiss.

    Promising review: "I write this for Pabu, a shih tzu. The vanilla mint flavor disappeared for a long time and Pabu would refuse all other flavors. This arrived yesterday and he went right for the first link. Happy breath and dental care again. Woo-hoo!" —Mikah

    Get it from Amazon for $11.52 (available in three flavors).

    13. Or a dental powder if there's no way you're getting near your pup with a toothbrush in hand. This is packed with probiotics and nutrients including zinc, taurine, cranberry powder, and vegetable fats. Just sprinkle a little bit on top of your pet's food, and it will help protect their teeth from plaque *and* prevent bad breath. Not to mention you don't even have to attempt to go anywhere near them with a toothbrush because nobody needs to deal with that trauma.

    Promising review: "No more forcing a toothbrush or finger brush into the mouth of my dogs and causing them upset along with a mess and frustration. I give a few morsels of her wet food, put the teaspoon of Perio-Support, she eats it down, and I give her the rest of her food. I then follow with the enzymatic oral hygiene chew in the afternoon, and they have rave reviews of beautifully maintained teeth and breath. VERY genius product that I for one will always use with my dogs, and would highly recommend to friends and family!!" —TeseH71

    Get it from Amazon for $21.84.

    14. An enclosed, self-cleaning litter box worth the purchase because it does the hard part for you — just roll it over, and an internal sifting mechanism will separate the clean litter and deposit the waste in a convenient pull-out tray. One less thing on your to-do list? Check.

    Promising review: "We weren’t sure what to expect from this new type of manual cat box. The innovation is so logical and simple while cost effective. We bought this for our teenage cat. He used it right away. All we do is tilt and roll the entire cat box to the right until you hear a THUMP indicating the clumps land in a built in pull out scoop. Then roll the cat box back to the left so the remaining good litter settles back into the bottom. Then back to center. The scoop is easy to empty. We love it." —Suzanne Edwards

    Get it from Amazon for $48.78+ (available in three sizes and 10 colors). 

    15. A Natural Dog Company snout soother that's basically the equivalent of lip balm for dogs (it's even shaped the same!), but instead of lips, it works to add moisture to dry, cracked, or chapped noses. ~Snout's~ honor this works.

    Promising review: "This is a great product! It's my second time using snout butter! I bought this same product many years ago for an old dog that had a dry nose, and within 24 hours of use, his nose was so much moister! Then bought this product again for a current dog with the same issue and again super impressed! The only bad part dogs love to lick it off! So you have to try your best to rub the product in to their skin before they lick it all off!" —Stefanie

    Get it from Amazon for $5.95.

    16. A sludge destroyer designed to break down waste, sludge, and debris and help eliminate odors in your aquarium. You probably thought getting a turtle as a pet was going to be less work than, you know, getting a puppy, but staring at that murky tank every day is telling you otherwise.

    Promising review: "I use this product regularly to keep the turtles' tanks clear and mostly algae free. After cleaning the filters and adding more water, the sediment gets churned up and makes the water cloudy. After adding a few capfuls, and waiting a day or two, the water is perfect for my shelled babies!" —The Knipper Family

    Get it from Amazon for $5.78+ (available in 4- and 8-oz).

    17. An ear treatment made for both dogs and cats to help clear (and prevent) inflammation and irritation caused by a fungal or bacterial infection. Reviewers (more than 59,400 of them) rave about how this product has brought relief to their furry friends without an expensive trip to the vet.

    Promising review: "I have an English Springer Spaniel with sensitive ears. I used to take my dog to the vet semi-regularly for ear infections. The vet would prescribe overpriced antibiotics and away I would go. The ear infection would go away after a week or so, and I would finish the antibiotic routine only to have the ear infection show up again in a month. I decided to give this stuff a try several years ago and have since bought at least five bottles because it WORKS!! While Otto does still get ear infections occasionally, they aren't nearly as bad because as soon as I catch them, I put this stuff to work. It knocks the crud out of his ears within a day or two and that's it! I only use it when I notice him scratching his ears more than usual so a bottle lasts a long time. This Zymox gel is pretty expensive, but it is by far the best thing that I have found for my dog's ears. Read the directions before using. You aren't supposed to clean the ears before applying this stuff, which at first I thought couldn't be right, but do it as the directions say, and you will be happily surprised." —Josh

    Get it from Amazon for $23.79+ (available in three sizes).

    18. Or some ear wipes formulated with aloe vera and eucalyptus to help clean and deodorize your pet's ears. It can help with wax buildup, infections, or just dirt that somehow ended up in their ears when they rolled around the dog park even though you told them to stop.

    Promising review: "My little Beagle has allergies and easily gets yeast in her ears. If your dog is shaking their head and coming up to you to scratch them, get this. It is the best thing for her ears I have ever bought. Buy it now. We are now on the third container of the ear wipes, and I love them!! There is a slight scent but it just smells clean. Thank you for a wonderful product!!" —S. nl

    19. A litter deodorizer you can sprinkle over your cat's litter box to keep the whole room smelling nice. It's fragrance-free, which means it won't stop your feline friend from doing their business.

    NonScents is a small business that specializes in pet products and household deodorizers. 

    Promising review: "We have 7 cats who share 10 litter boxes. Needless to say, things can get pretty smelly, pretty fast! We can't change out the litter as often as we would like, or we would be completely bankrupt with the price of cat litter now. So, I decided to purchase the NonScents Cat Litter Deodorizer. I'm so happy I did!! It truly extends the life of our litter so we're not changing it as frequently. It definitely keeps the odor under control. I'm a happy cat mommy!!" —L. Holleman

    Get it from Amazon for $11.67+ (available in packs of one, two, or three).

    20. A wrinkle cream made with soothing shea butter and avocado oil to help all those smooth-faced pups eliminate dirt and tear stains from their creases. If you have a bulldog, pug, or any other breed that's prone to itchiness in their folds, you'll want to have this on hand at all times.

    Squishface is a small business creating problem-solving products for dogs dealing with wrinkles, tear stains, tail pockets, and more. 

    Promising review: "This cream is the miracle worker. My 2-year-old English bulldog had yeast in his wrinkles. I cleaned every day with hydrogen peroxide but it didn't clear it up. It just kept it from getting worse. One night I came across this product. I was desperate and decided to give it a try. Within 24 hours of using Squishface, I noticed a huge difference. Within 48 hours, it was almost gone. By 72 hours it had cleared up. I clean his face before bed and apply the cream. I can't say my bully loves it because seriously what bully likes having their wrinkles cleaned? He tolerates it and I love that it worked for us. It has no smell to it, it's natural, and it WORKS!" —KS92

    Get it from Amazon for $18+ (available in packs of one and two). 

    21. A set of transparent couch protectors you can apply to the areas on your couch where your cat scratches the most, even though you've gotten them an array of different scratching pads. You'll be able to deter them from scratching and save yourself from having to buy a new couch.

    Promising reviews: "Easy to use and is the first thing that has ever protected my sofa from cat paws! I wish I’d bought this product five years ago!" —Carol Palmer

    "Our cat was destroying the corner of our brand-new sectional, so I was excited to try these out. I didn’t want to try sprays or anything with pins that puncture the couches. I was a little worried about the quality of the adhesive, but the screen has been holding up and my cat no longer scratches that corner. There are plenty of screens in the package to add more if she finds a new spot." —NKakanis

    Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $17.99 (available in multiple pack sizes).

    22. A Pet House Candle because even if you love them dearly, your pets can still make some of the worst odors ever, and nobody should have to live with that. This candle is specifically designed to tackle those smells, so you'll want to stock up on a couple of the scents.

    One Fur All is a small business creating candles, wax melts, and freshening room sprays that help eliminate pet odors.

    Promising review: "No buyer's remorse here! I will buy this candle again and again and again... OMG! Love! I bought the Lilac Garden, wow, it smells amazing!! I bought it due to us living in our RV after selling our home and waiting for the weather to allow us to move up north. We have a few dogs in this small space, ugh, by golly, you walk in the door now and smell fresh-cut Lilac, candle style. Most defiantly will order again. I would gift it to a friend so sure — that's if I don't keep it for myself instead lol!" —2XArmyDrills

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in six scents).

    For best results, use the shampoo two to three times a week at first, and then decrease use as skin improves.

    Promising review: "This is a great product!! It's saved me a lot of money by not having to take my dogs to the vet. I have to wash them frequently or they break out with their allergies. It's very economical compared to paying $40 for the vet to give one of my dogs shots. The only thing that I don't like is the tar smell, but I can deal with it. I have bought this product again and will continue to do so." —Andy

    Get it from Amazon for $8.96.

    25. A bottle of Folex spot remover more than 70,600 reviewers have rated 5 stars for helping to make stains of all kinds disappear on basically every fabric surface. You'll just want to have this in your cleaning cabinet at the ready for when your pet has an unfortunate accident because it does happen.

    Promising review: "I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." —Alex

    Get it from Amazon for $6.65.

    26. An olive oil-based paw balm made with a mix of oatmeal (reviewers swear it smells like cookies), shea butter, olive oil, aloe vera, and coconut oil, as well as vitamins E and F to help soothe your pet's dry and cracked paws. Plus, it's pH-balanced, which just means that it's safe for your pet to ingest because they will for sure try to lick it when you apply it.

    Promising review: "This smells amazing, like cookies. My dogs seem to enjoy getting this paw butter. They do lick a bit of it off, but most of it stays in place pretty well and is helping with dried cracked paw pads on my three mastiffs. Its solid in jar but almost melts into their paws when applied — I'll definitely be buying again." —Amazon Customer

    Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

    27. An eye rinse here to help soothe your pup's irritated eyes *and* also help treat and prevent tear stains. Nobody's pup needs to look sad all the time. That just tugs at our heartstrings. *Awwww*

    Promising review: "I have two Shih-tzus. They had watery eyes and a little tear staining, but this eye solution has worked wonderfully. One drop in their eyes every morning after I’ve cleaned them. At one point I stopped doing it for a while, and my male ended up with a stye, so back to every day." —CG

    Get it from Amazon for $8.20.

    28. And a set of mini combs that'll help you remove all the crust and mucus that accumulates around your dog's eyes. No tear stains, no problems!

    Promising review: "Love these little tear combs. My dog has really bad tear stains. I bought Angel Tears pet tear stain remover, which removes the reddish rust stain, but not completely. I get the eye really wet with it on a cotton disk then comb the hair under and around the eye with this little magical comb. You get all the yuk out of their hair." —Debbie Darling

    29. A bottle of Burt's Bees dander-reducing spray formulated with aloe vera and oatmeal to help moisturize dry skin and reduce redness in your cat. Yes, this isn't a problem that only humans have.

    Promising review: "We have an overweight cat that has trouble grooming her back. She was so full of dandruff and greasy fur that I hated petting her. We took her to the vet, and he thought it was allergies. We tried prednisone for a while, and it was clear she was less itchy, but the dandruff remained. The vet suggested different food, so we switched to a different flavor (different ingredients) in the same line, and there was no change. Our poor girl looked miserable. We decided to try a bath, but she's 13 years old so we knew she wouldn't enjoy it. While looking for a shampoo for her, I came across this product and decided to try it before torturing her with a bath. After the first application, there was a huge difference! After the second application, her dandruff is GONE. We spray her down and then brush her. She is so soft and shiny! She finally looks healthy, and feels good to pet." —Amber Steele

    30. Some Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads reviewers swear are super easy to use because as the name says, all you have to do is "stomp and go." The pad will basically work magic on the stain, so you won't even know where your pet had their accident anymore.

    Plus, not only do these work on pet stains, but they're also great at removing wine, soda, or any other stains the rest of the family gets on your nice rug. Trust me, you're going to want to have these on hand at all times.

    Promising review: "This product is genius. It works like magic with virtually zero effort. The only downside is it works too well and then can leave perfectly shaped light-colored rectangles like other reviews show. But it’s not the product’s fault that my carpets are dirty! It is gross to know, though. Will absolutely be buying these again! I love cutting them up so they go farther for little stains." —Melissa L

    31. A wood polish to restore your front door or even wood floor that your dog's nails have left a few scratches in. It works so well that it left reviewers amazed at the results.

    Promising review: "I honestly can’t believe how well this stuff works. Like magic it restored pet claw- AND pet water bowl-damaged wood all over my house. I am amazed at the results. Thank you!" —Nicole Thomas

    32. A flea and tick shampoo because dealing with those little nasty bugs is no joke, so you need a serious solution. Reviewers say this works great, even if their dog has sensitive skin, and it has a wonderful smell

    Promising review: "I was highly skeptical given A. This is just shampoo. B. Most of the reviews mentioned fleas and not ticks. C. My dog was FULL of ticks...I mean at least 15–20 that I could see. I would have to warn you, that after using this shampoo, keep your dog OUTSIDE for 24–48 hours. I did not. In fact, I came home to a plethora of dead ticks in my living room. Dead ticks EVERYWHERE. I counted at least 10 little ones...and the big ones...dear god...my dog found them before I could and burst them...leaving blood everywhere." —sharon atkins

    33. An LED black light to help ~illuminate~ any pet messes you may have missed but can def smell in your house. Reviewers say it's worth the money because it will show you where the spots are that you can't see with your naked eye.

    It also comes with a pair of protective glasses.

    Promising review: "Pet owners everywhere fear their little Fifi or Fido will secretly find a spot (or two or three) where they do their business when either no one is looking or it is raining and they don't want to wade out into the mess. Even the most watchful owner cannot be 100% observant 24 hours a day. Finding the puddle in the house is obvious, but what about the ones you didn't see in moist form? This black light is the perfect solution. It is sturdily built of hefty anodized aluminum and the 100 LEDs produce a wide beam of bright black light (obviously best seen in a darker environment). Ewwwwww I found the spots and have a doggy under tighter scrutiny. Don't go into any hotel with this light unless you want to become a germaphobe. OMG, it is EVERYWHERE. Double ewwww. Great light." —Chuck & Karen
