1. A set of pet toothbrushes featuring three sides so you can tackle their teeth at all angles. Their breath will be less stinky and wayyyyy more tolerable. Plus, this brush has over 2,000 5-star reviews!
Promising review: "First of all, this was a great value since you get two. Secondly, it works better for dogs like mine who are medium sized and don't have a huge mouth. We were having a hard time getting to my dog's back teeth with the brush we had which was too big. The way this brush is constructed definitely makes it easier to do a more thorough cleaning than conventionally shaped brushes will." —Gerardine Cizmar
Get a pack of two from Amazon for $7.99.
2. A fur remover broom to gather all their shed hair into one collective pile. TBH, there's probs a lot baked into your carpet that you didn't even know was there...
Promising review: "This thing just plain works. We got a mature golden retriever last year and were told he didn't shed. Then in the spring he started shedding badly. We were tired of hair everywhere and somehow I realized that dragging my shoe across the carpet balled the hair up. I found this product on a whim one day and knew it had to be better than my shoe! I ordered it and it was tough at first. The bristles pulled the hair up but then caught the tufts and spread them around. I found that using short quick strokes with the rake turned upside-down got the best results. The backside is more like a squeegee and helps pull the hair up in long rolls and keeps the hair in one big pile. The photo is from out dogs favorite spot on the carpet and we couldn't see ANY hair when I started raking!!!" —Nick V.
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.
3. A stuffing-free squeaky toy if you no longer want to worry about them casually eating the cotton insides and costing you a fortune in vet bills. My dogs love to do this and my anxiety truly sky rockets.
Promising review: "My dachshund destroys every toy she gets. These dog toys by Petstages are her absolute favorites and last the longest. They have two different squeakers that make their unique sound. Whenever she does finally rip them apart, stuffing doesn't go everywhere. This is probably her ninth toy like this over the years. Highly recommend!" —mattbakerrr
Get it from Amazon for $7.98 (available in three sizes and three styles).
4. A hard floor cleaner to remove tough accident stains without damaging your pristine floors. It safely works to remove new and deep-set stains and odors from sealed wood, linoleum, vinyl, concrete and ceramic tile.
Promising review: "Owning two older dogs, and frequently fostering dogs, I have particular life experience cleaning up after dog accidents in the home. Bless their hearts, dogs are still animals, and animals have to potty sometimes outside the confines of generally accepted locations (i.e., outside). One of the most difficult urine messes is when there are hardwood floors they tinkle on. A dog peed in a corner of my living room, which of course has parquet wooden floor tiles, and which of course, I did not notice until a day or two later when the pee had already soaked into the wood parquet tiles, causing swelling and deep odor. Thankfully, I found Nature's Miracle specifically designed for hardwood floors. I was skeptical that it would work as well as the reviews noted, but it truly worked better than any other brand of urine cleaner that I have tried. It managed to effectively clean the stain, and eliminate the odor, even though the mess wasn't discovered right away." —HelloReese
Get it from Amazon for $10.82+ (available in two sizes).
5. A dog paw cleaner because muddy paws are a no-no in the house, and this will be much more efficient than chasing them around the house with a towel.
Promising review: "My dog has an allergy to grass and every night she goes out on the grass to play ball. We usually have to come in and get a beach towel wet to clean off her paws and then throw that in the laundry. This has really made our lives much easier. Simply fill it with water, stick your dogs paw in, move up and down, and the job is done! We use this on my 60-lb. pit bull and there was plenty of room for a larger paw as well as it would be sufficient enough for a smaller dog." —LC
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes).
6. A state plush toy if you're raising your dog to be a hardcore New Yorker just like you. This detailed pet toy won't be an eye sore when it's left all over your house. *Pet toy chic*
Modern Beast is a woman-owned small business whose mission is to give back to animals. They create contemporary, high quality toys, apparel and home goods for dogs and cats. 100% of the profits go to an array of animal charities.
Get it from Modern Beast for $17 (also available in California state design).
7. And this cute cat fortune cookie toy that literally describes what their thinking is, "blame it on the dog." I may just have to get a cat just so I can snag this toy...
Get it from Modern Beast for $12.
8. A 'Pupreme' hoodie so when they go for their brisk winter walks they won't be freezing their tail off. (Or just get it so you can take a cute Insta pic of them in it.)
Supreme Paw Supply is a small business that's home to some of the most incredibly cute and fashionable dog apparel and accessories. If you love anything designer, you'll die over their selection.
Get it from Supreme Paw Supply for $39 (available in sizes S–XXL).
9. A discreet litterbox if you'd prefer not to have a smelly, exposed place for them to do their business and would like it to blend in well with your other furniture.
Promising review: "My husband and I host a lot of events at our home and so having the litter boxes out in the open was smelly, awkward, and an eye sore. I tried to put the boxes in the basement, but both our cats are social and would rather hang out with us upstairs. This was a perfect solution. It's fairly well made and hides the box very nicely. It didn't smell funny when it arrived and was relatively easy to put together. Overall, it was exactly what I was looking for, but it is a little expensive. However, if you can afford it, I would recommend." —Katherine Lew
Get it from Amazon for $219.99+ (available in seven different versions).
10. A shower wand sprayer so bath time can be a breeze. I personally need to upgrade from the recycled ricotta container I use to bathe my pups with in the sink, and I think I may have just found the solution. ~Plus~ using this allows you to keep them contained in your bath tub without making a mess everywhere.
Promising review: "Best thing ever!! It so much easier to get all of the soap off of my dog. Even using a normal shower head that detaches, this one is so much easier. All of the shampoo and water just slides right off and it's so simple to get under her neck, around her face, and underneath her body! She is so much cleaner." —RogerApril
Get it from Amazon for $36.97 (available in two sizes).
11. A pack of catnip-infused felt balls that come in a such a fun variety of fun colors, they won't know which one to play with first.
For a cat-nip recharge, pop the balls back in the tin so they soak up more of the catnip smell (from the capsules in the tin) and your cat will be ready to play with them all over again.
SimplyBVermont is a small business located in Vermont. They make all kinds of adorable pet accessories and toys for cats AND dogs.
Promising review: "Fast shipping, seller was super thoughtful and attentive, and most important of all our kitties are obsessed with these balls! Even my shyer one is running around with these having an absolute blast even without my tossing them around. It’s also wearing her out which is quite hard to do. Highly recommend!" —Ketti Schulenberg
Get a set from SimplyBVermont on Etsy for $8.50.
12. A Bissell Spinwave hardwood floor mop – it's clutch for cleaning up tough stains and potential "oopsies" on your floors. This works wonders on tile, linoleum, wood, and other hard-sealed floors.
Promising review: "Most amazing results! I have tried almost every product on the market over 40 years but this Bissell is the BEST. Shiny and clean for the first time! We have hardwood, no carpet, with three dogs and seven cats. Quiet and so easy to use. I used wood floor solution on wood and pet solution on bathroom and kitchen tile. Even cleaned grout lines nicely. Would give 10 stars if able!" —C.A. Shaheen
Get it from Amazon for $99.99.
13. A pet hair remover you can utilize on a variety of fabrics that their fur can latch on to. Think of it as a pumice stone but for your upholstery and clothing.
Promising review: "Holy cow this is magic. I have a 230-pound Mastiff. I have purchased any and everything claiming to get dog hair off car carpet. I have used at least three different vacuums and attachments. Lately I have been using a microfiber towel because it had some grip. Then this piece of magic arrived. It gets every single hair no matter how embedded. There were hairs I had a hard time removing with my fingers. The Fur-Zoff pulled them right out. This has reduced my hair removal time in half!" —David r.
Get it from Amazon for $10.19.
14. A silicone placemat so you can avoid the impending doom that is "spill my kibble all over the floor" — aka the dreaded game our furry friends love to play while they wolf down their food. This mat will at least catch some of the dropped food or water.
Promising review: "The mat is durable, I have the mat on the carpet and it stays flat. Silicon keeps the mat in place and it does not slide around. My cat is a messy eater and the lip helps with spills of food and water. I have another food dish in the holder and the silicon has a little give in it and the dish does not move. I use the metal dish for soft food." —Veronica
Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in two colors and two styles).
15. A bag of leak-proof training pads in case the weather is prohibiting them from "going" outside and you want to protect your kitchen floors in the process.
16. Or an indoor/outdoor dog potty that mimics real grass so they'll know to go there and not on the carpet.
Promising review: "OMG I love this thing! No smell and my puppy uses it. And it's portable. And did I mention NO SMELL?!" –Lahila Barzola
Get it from Amazon for $99.95.
17. A dog toys basket to keep all of their playtime faves in one organized spot. Anyone else step on a rogue bone and see their life flash before their eyes? Get this basket, you'll thank yourself later.
Promising review: "I like the decoration style and simplicity this dog toy basket provides. I find it durable and spacious enough for several toys and bones. My dog likes the drag it into the living room and dump the whole thing out. She likes that she can easily move it around. I like that I can have it be in an easily accessible place that doesn’t distract from the rest of the room. I would purchase again." —Eileen Daniels
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four colors).
18. A food storage tower for keeping their food fresh and organized whenever they need a refill! This will also prevent any unwanted critters getting into the kibble.
Promising review: "Still using it after three years, it’s holding up well and very useful. Doesn’t take up too much room. It fits the space we have. Good value for the price. We have a large dog (and a cat) It stores about one large bag of dog food: a 28-lb bag if we use both drawers. The scoop it comes with sucks but doesn’t matter. we just use a cup. The drawers are not 100% airtight but the holes are small. It’s so easy to access the drawers. My 3-year-old kid is a pro at using them and enjoys feeding the pets." —K
Get it from Amazon for $62.09 (originally $74.24).
19. A bag of human-grade dog treats made from peanut butter, honey, apples, and blueberries! If you're heading out for a hike, take one of these handy bars with you for an easy snack option for your pup!
Fetching Fields is a US-based small business specializing in holistic pet products that are plant-based and promote sustainability.

Get a bag from Fetching Fields for $19.50.
20. A wall-mounted organizer that can hold their leashes, treats, travel water dish, harness, and more. Taking them for a walk outside is a breeze with this quick organization station.

Get it from Amazon for $25.95.
21. A calming and cozy bed in case you'd prefer them to sleep anywhere BUT the furniture. Now they'll have a designated space that is theirs.

Skout's Honor is a small-business based out of California.
Promising review: "Oh my goodness!! I swear this stuff is magic. My in-laws' pup pooped on our carpet and we used the things in this kit...holy cow! Odor, stains, everything!! Gone!!! All of us were amazed!! It left the carpet cleaner than it was before and the room actually smelled good. I can't imagine trying anything else ever again!! I'll be a Skout's Honor user for life!!!" —Elizabeth H.
Get it from Skout's Honor for $39.97.
23. A reversible sofa cover that's also water resistant so you can protect your furniture from pet fur, dandruff, germs, and those who like to chew on the cushions...
Promising review: "So first off, super shocked at how soft it is! I thought it was gonna be kinda rough or like a weird material. So love that! Second, fits my couch perfect. Third, the little stretchy straps were great! I thought it would have the adjustable ones but I’ve been looking a lot so I probably just assumed it was like others I had seen but no, its stretchy straps so super easy! The beige side pretty closely fits the color of my couch too so that’ll be nice! My dogs say thanks too! Since they won’t have to sneak on the couch anymore lol. They were shedding so bad and tearing up the cushions."—Mary t.
Get it from Amazon for $29.31+ (available in three sizes and 23 colors).
24. A clumping cat litter for a fuss-free way to clean the litter box that doesn't involve dumping everything inside and starting from scratch. If you hate cleaning the litter box (who doesn't?) then this is your new BFF.
Promising review: "Hands down the best pet-related purchase I have ever made. For the first time in 10 years, my house doesn't smell like cat poop." —Christian K.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (five styles and four sizes).
25. A dog harness that'll make walk time more enjoyable for both you and your pup. Harnesses are much better for taking pressure off of their neck.
Promising review: "I love these harnesses, I have used them for all of my dogs. After swimming in the North Atlantic the metal rings do start to rust and they get smelly, so I decided to get the deluxe version with extra padding. It seems very comfortable and the M/L fits my 52-lb. lab perfectly. I like to adjust the front/shoulder straps to their shortest and extend the belly strap last for the best fit, riding higher on the chest rather than hanging down." —ShanD
Get it from Amazon for $22.95 (available in four sizes and four colors).
26. A Chuckit treat tote so you can go full on dog-trainer mode and finally teach them how to "give paw" or roll-over.
Promising review: "These are the perfect size to hold treats. Not too deep that you have to stick your whole hand in. Just right to just grab a treat with my fingers. I can't imagine using more treats than this bag holds in one training session. A dog can only focus so long you know. We always use the clip on the back which holds tight to all kinds of clothing and has never come loose even with lots of bending. It hangs down from the waistline well so a shirt doesn't interfere. The bag also has a belt loop if you wear belts. Our family has several of these bags now and they are the only ones we continue to use. The only drawback is you can't choose your color when ordering." —Cherilyn
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
27. A pack of poop bag rolls in case they love to take that casual midday dump on your neighbor's lawn (been there, done that). Keep these handy so you can pick up their brown prezzies to drop in the nearest garbage can.
Promising review: "I love these bags — much thicker than the ones you buy at the store. The scent is not overpowering." —madeline audrey
Get it from Amazon for $11.99 (available in two styles and two styles).
28. An electric flopping fish to keep your kitty busy for hours on end so you can finally get through a Zoom call without them pestering for more playtime.
Promising review: "This toy has bewitched and confounded my big 'boy' Garfield. The fish is a nice, substantial size, easy for my rather big cat to grab and kick, chew and lick. The battery charges rapidly — less than 30 minutes to full charge - and lasts a fairly long time, through numerous play sessions. As I was unwrapping the fish, my cat immediately came over to 'help,' and seemed really excited and anxious for me to give it to him so I suspect it had some catnip scent initially. If that's true, then it's very clever of the toy developer, since that scent ensured that Garfield took to it right away. He was a bit unsure the first time the fish started to 'flop' but he figured it out fairly quickly." —B. Smith
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in four colors).
29. A trendy bandana to pop on your pet that's so adorably cute you'll cry happy tears. Just LOOK AT HOW CUTEEEEE!!!
GabeJadeAccessories is a Black, woman-owned business located in Dallas, TX, offering a slew of fun fabric accessories such as bow-ties, turbans, head wraps, and pet bandanas.
Promising review: "One of my dogs loves bandanas – if her bandana falls off, she brings it over to me to tie back on. And of all the bandanas that I've purchased, GabeJade's are my favorite. The fabric quality far surpasses the typical bandana your groomer uses – it is substantial and has a beautiful feel to it. The prints are vivid – even more colorful and richly saturated than the photography shows. My puppy baby looks chic and elegant." —Michelle Whitman
Get it from GabeJadeAccessories on Etsy for $20 (available in sizes S–L).
