    Make your dog happier and your life easier.

    1. A portable shower head that'll screw right onto standard water bottles and allow you to give your dirty dog a bath whenever, wherever. Reviewers say it's great for camping and prefer using it to hoses and buckets of water.

    2. An adhesive slidable tracker that'll remind you to feed your four-legged friend(s). It’s pretty much a must-have for anyone who shares dog duties with a partner or roommate.

    4. A set of tie-free shoe laces that'll transform your favourite pair of runners into slip-ons. They'll make putting on your shoes quicker and easier, so you don't have to fumble around with your laces when your dog really needs to go.

    8. Or a collapsible travel water bowl that'll fold up into a tiny square, making it easy to fit into smaller pockets. It's made of a fast-drying material, so you won't have to worry about it soaking the other stuff in your bag.

    9. A speech bubble pet food mat to save your floor from getting covered in kibble every time your four-legged friend dives into their dinner. It has raised edges that'll block any morsels from escaping.

    10. An unburstable soccer ball that won't pop, even when your dog goes to town on it. It's also green apple scented, so your house will smell like an orchard instead of dog slobber.

    11. This shower-friendly silicone treat mat that’ll keep your dog distracted while you shampoo them down. It has little fronds that make peanut butter harder to get to, so you can give them a full grooming session before they're done snacking.

    12. A pack of lavender-scented dog poop bags made with recycled materials, because you don't need to create waste with waste. They're extra thick and strong, and won't split open when you're carrying a full load.

    15. A dog seat belt that'll keep your dog from springing into the front seat while you're trying to drive. Reviewers love that it gives their dog enough leash to look out the window, but keeps them from jumping all over the place.

    16. A genius dog doorbell, so that your canine companion can let you know when they want to be let back in the house, without scratching your door to pieces. Reviewers say that it's great for using inside, too (so you may want to add another to your cart).

    17. A dog DNA test, if you adopted a mutt and want to know your dog's unique cocktail of breeds. The company also runs tests on medical background, so you'll learn more about your dog's health (and maybe save some money on vet bills in the future).

    18. An LED light-up collar that’ll keep your dog visible at all times, so you can let them off-leash at night and not worry about them going MIA. It’s also 100% waterproof, so you don’t have to stress if they get a little wet.

    19. A calming Snuggle Puppy that'll lull your four-legged friend to sleep and help reduce their anxiety by mimicking the heartbeat and heat of an actual dog. It's machine washable, so you don't have to worry if your canine companion has any accidents in their crate.

    20. A bottle of natural dog ear cleaner that'll help get rid of itches, smells, and built-up gunk within days. It's a heck of a lot cheaper than perscription medication, and will banish the most common invaders.

    21. A reversible crossbody dog pouch, so that you can tote around your chien when they're too pooped to walk home. It can support up to 12 pounds of weight, making it perfect for petite pups and tiny terriers.

    22. A bag of Greenies pill pockets that'll disguise their medications as treats, so they'll take them without fussing around. They're made with natural ingredients, so you don't have to worry about giving your dog any weird chemicals.

    23. A non-slip slanted pet bowl that'll help your messy four-legged friend clean up their act. Reviewers say it makes food easier for little teeth to grab and that the removeable metal bowl is a cinch to clean.

    24. A treat-tossing Furbo camera that lets you stalk your dog when you're not at home (and feed them snacks, too). It has a barking sensor and will send you notifications when your dog is acting up — you can even use the two-way audio to tell them to cut it out!

    25. A splash-free water bowl that’ll give your dog the exact amount of H2O they need, without getting it all over the place. It has anti-slip feet, so it won't slide around while they're sipping, either.

    26. A pair of pet grooming gloves that’ll trick your four-legged friend into thinking they're getting a massage, when you’re actually de-shedding them. If you want to give your dog a real spa experience, throw them on while you’re giving them a bath.

    27. A puzzle dog food bowl with a groovy, textured design that'll encourage your pet eat slower. If your four-legged friend is a bit of a speed gobbler, this may save them from a stomach ache (or puking on your carpet).

    28. A padded car seat cover that’ll keep the backseat of your car (or your trunk) free of dog hair. It’ll also make it a bit cushier, which, let’s be honest, your dog deserves.

    29. And finally, a treat-dispensing game that'll keep your dog entertained, so that you can get some actual work done. Reviewers say it's great for keeping pups intellectually stimulated when they can't go on long walks.
