1. A multi-tasking dog feeder with bowls and built-in food storage so you have everything in one place. It can hold at least 22 pounds of food in the lower section (but many reviewers noted more) and even has a side lock to prevent pups from sneaking an early dinner. Some pet parents even use the storage space for toys! Mind. Blown. 🤯
This set comes with two 32-ounce stainless-steel bowls and a huge plastic zip bag that'll keep your pup's food fresh.
Promising review: "This is the BEST dog food feeder on the market!!! I already bought one a few years back for my two dog's. I used the bowls for feeding, they had a separate water dish...They are really FANTASTIC!! The top slides so you can put the dog food in it. It also comes with a plastic zip bag and has a lock. Unlike some out there, the slider is all one piece with a bottom, so if your dog is able to remove bowls they CAN'T get to the food. I can't say enough good things about it!! ...It's definitely worth the money, this feeder will last forever. It's not made of wood, but some kind of plastic, you wouldn't know it by looking at it, cause it looks like wood grain. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS PRODUCT!!!" —Charlene
Get it from Amazon for $73.99+ (available in three colors).
2. A waterproof (and urine-proof) double-layered litter trapping mat to catch any leftover litter before your cat makes the entire home dusty and litter-filled. When your cat steps out of the litter box, it'll collect the litter with its honeycomb design, and keep it there until you clean it out!
And in case you're wondering, it is *very* easy to clean. You can open it up (like the photo on the right) and dump leftover litter back in the box, wash it under a sink, or suck up any leftover litter with a vacuum!
Promising review: "Going from no litter mat for this box to using this new mat there is a noticeable decrease in litter strewn across the floor, which is what I wanted. The cats certainly don't mind the texture so they have no problems with it either. Would recommend." —Kelliar
"I was pleased to find that [the litter mat] works very well. The litter falls down the holes and is not seen so it looks clean all the time. Very few granules are being tracked off the mat and I see the litter falling down through to the lower layer to be poured out later." —LyricMama
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
3. A ChomChom roller, a pet hair removal tool that'll make sure your pet's shedding does minimal damage to your sinuses and your furniture. It's like a lint roller without the annoying sticky pads that you have to constantly replace. All you have to do is empty the roller when it's full, and it's as good as new.
Promising reviews: "OMG! What a lifesaver! This thing works so well I was amazed! I have a nine-month-old doodle who's not supposed to shed much but she's a puppy who hasn't yet blown out her puppy coat so her fur is EVERYWHERE making my allergies nuts! Even after I vacuum, you'd never know it because she sheds so much. Chom Chom to the rescue — it's my new fave household tool!" —Lena M. Morgan
"I have allergic reactions to dog hair and dander so imagine my surprise when we learned our new quarantine pup wasn’t hypoallergenic as we had thought. Cue a mad dash to buy every product under the sun to keep my allergies in check because from the moment she came home we were in love...Then enter the Chom Chom roller, the roller to end the need for any other roller. Gone are the days of stripping and sticking with a disposable lint roller. Gone are the days of dragging that red lint brush paddle over the furniture. And definitely gone are the days hauling out the vacuum just to zip away the excess dog fur on the couch. If you use it right— and I mean vigorously roll back and forth, up and down, to and from like your life depended on it— the Chom never fails...Truthfully, it picks up more than enough for me to be satisfied." —L. White
Get it from Amazon for $26.95.
4. A cozy window hammock so your cat has a comfy spot at their favorite place: the window! If you can't find them, they're probably soaking up the sun while laying on this guy.
This hammock is pretty sturdy and can hold up up to 40 pounds! And to fold (in case you want to close your blinds) simply take the two bottom poles out of the suction cups and the hammock will hang vertically.
Promising review: "I used to have a dresser against the window and my cat would hang out on it to sightsee. But when I moved the dresser away, I knew I needed to get a cat perch. This product is an absolute winner. Really well-made in my opinion. The mesh mat is very sturdy and the extra flannel is a bonus. I like that you can tie the flannel down so it won’t move around. The frame, though plastic, is lightweight (doesn’t add to weight) yet sturdy and the suction cups and wires are very sturdy too. It only came crashing down once BUT that was my error — I didn’t wipe off the window to clean. But when I did, I DAMPENED THE WINDOW where I attached the suction cups and since then it never came down." —Jennifer
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
5. A Bissell Pet Stain Eraser — a portable carpet cleaning power brush that's *super* convenient and very easy to use! Seriously, it's like a one-and-done scenario with this thing. It can be used for pet stains, baby stains, wine stains (yay!), and because it's cordless, you can use it to clean your car, too.
I tried the Pet Stain Eraser for the first time when my cat had a nasty incident on my white (!!) carpet, and within seconds — literally seconds — the stain, the gunk, and the smell were disappearing. My partner returned to the room and couldn't tell where the stain had been at all. And another huge bonus is the compact size. I live in a small apartment with limited storage space, so the fact the something handheld can be so powerful is awesome. Highly highly recommend for any pet household!
Promising review: "Love! A must for pet owners! It’s light and easy to take wherever you want. Especially when I was going room to room cleaning up spots. I cleaned carpet stains, porch cushions, and car trunk. I was very impressed how well such a small machine worked. Definitely would recommend for a portable cleaner! Also, it was easy to clean the actual machine. I don’t feel like I’m spreading grossness from place to place with a dirty machine." —Christina C.
Get it from Amazon for $129.67.
BTW, this tool comes with two small bottles of ready-to-use cleaning formula, but if you need more, grab a bigger bottle for $11.99!
6. A couch cover to protect the furniture that your pets, kids, or (very) messy significant others love laying on. To be fair, where else are they gonna lounge!? This cover will make sure everyone is comfortable and happy.
Promising review: "These are really nice! I wasn't expecting much in the way of quality at this price point but was pleasantly surprised when I opened the package. The fabric is really durable and the construction of the covers is excellent. I bought two of these, the regular-sized couch cover and the oversized chair cover. Both fit perfectly....The fabric on the covers is a microfiber that is very soft while still being tough enough to handle abuse from my four cats. I ordered the green color for my sage green furniture and found the reverse side with the lighter green to be a pretty close match. I haven't used the straps and probably won't. My furniture is made of a micro suede fabric and the covers haven't slipped at all, so there's really no need to strap them down. All in all, very pleased with this purchase. An excellent value!" —Kathy V.
Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in five sizes and 20 colors/patterns).
7. An automatic pet feeder that allows you to schedule your pet's meals for up to four feedings a day. It can hold 4 liters of food, too — which basically is just peace of mind that your pet is covered even when you're not home.
It plugs into the wall, but it also accepts batteries in case of power outages. You can also record a 10-second voice clip of yourself saying something like, "Juno! It's time to eat!" How cool is that?
P.S. reviewers with cats, small/medium sized dogs, and bunnies all say it's great!
Promising reviews: "I like it very much, as do my cats... They've gotten used to the sound of the food going into the bowl and know when it’s time to eat, and neither cat has tried to get the lid off. It has also helped with me getting to sleep later and with my cat not chewing on my headboard to wake me up in the morning 🤦🏼♀️. We will also be purchasing one for the clinic cat at the vet hospital where I work." —Marilyn S.
"Pistol Pete is an adorable feline; however, the 4 a.m. 'wake up and feed me' calls were getting old. He would gently tap our faces, but if ignored, he'd go to the bedside table and start swatting stuff onto the floor. Subtle. The Petlibro automatic feeder is the perfect remedy, not just for those early morning wake-up calls but also to portion out the feedings. He used to nag us throughout the day as if he had not been fed in weeks. Only downside is he often sits vigil next to the feeder waiting. At first he tried to tamper with it, but the lid's on pretty secure. He's let that go." —K Flo
Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
8. A mounted cat grooming brush so no scritch will go unscratched ever again. It's got adhesive tape on the back, so it's super easy to put up. And it catches a lot of the fur that would otherwise be all over the house!
Promising review: "Both my cats seem to love this inexpensive product. Bought on a whim but very pleased. Little need for catnip, with some positive attention and gentle encouragement they started using this groomer and haven't stopped, only when it falls down. Didn't want to use screws and haven't found a lasting adhesive tape that holds up under such constant use. Command strips are on the shopping list." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $5.50.
9. A wood kennel cover that allows you to really maximize the space in your home. This will turn that ugly kennel in the corner into a gorge functional piece of furniture.
My Farmhouse Essential is a small business based in Gainesville, Georgia. They create tons of handmade woodwork home decor!
Promising review: "Fits the crate perfectly, doesn’t slide around but easy to move when needed. It changes the entire dynamic of the room. Previously I had a metal crate sticking out like a sore thumb. Now I have a beautiful piece of furniture at a very small cost. It also arrived quickly. Very pleased with it and I’ve ordered a second one for a smaller crate." —Alicia Staton
"Buy this if you want to create additional storage or surface area for a studio apartment if you have a dog! High quality and a lot of options to choose from." —Elena
Get it from My Farmhouse Essential on Etsy for $26.59+ (available in six sizes and 11 wood finishes).
10. For safety purposes, a cord protector to prevent any cable chewing. It can conceal multiple cables at one time in case you have a few in one area.
Promising review: "So I have one of those cats who chews on electrical cords. I can't begin to tell you how many cords she has chewed through — alarm clocks, lamps, and all of the charging cords for our phones. I was pretty sure I'd find her fried one day. I was hoping for ANY kind of help to get her to stop chewing, and then I came across these sleeves. They're easy to install and can usually wrap around more than one cord at a time, which is helpful for the TV equipment (cable box and DVD player). Just open the sleeve and slide the cords inside. So far, my cat hasn't chewed any cords since I encased everything in these sleeves! Be sure to have scissors available for install, since you can cut these to any length you want. I've purchased this same item twice, to outfit all of the exposed cords I could find!" —impossible girl
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 14 sizes and three colors).
11. And a small cable protector, perfect for wrapping around thinner cords like phone charging cables or headphones.
Promising review: "These cable protectors are the perfect way to keep my charging cables safe! My cat has a tendency to chew on cables for attention, and he can quickly bite through an iPhone charger or laptop charger. Replacing them gets expensive, so I was willing to spend $7 on these things... My cat tried to bite the cable several times while I was wrapping, but the protector is hard enough that he couldn't do any damage at all! If you're careful about wrapping your wires tight enough, you shouldn't have any problems with cats biting through, even those with stronger jaw and sharper teeth like mine. The pack came with a bonus cable protector end holder, but I don't seem to need it as the protectors don't slip at all." — Caitlin
Get it from Amazon for $8.98+ (available in four color packs).
12. A pack of chew toys specially made for dogs who are aggressive chewers. This pack comes with 11 extra durable toys that'll keep their focus away from your shoes. The various textured, sized, and shaped knot ropes will be a hit!
Promising review: "I honestly didn't expect any of these to last more than a day with my 9-month-old Dane pup... Over the last few months we've lost several hundred dollars worth of shoes and a very expensive couch to this super chewer. Happy to say he hasn't had a shoe (or a couch) in his mouth since these toys arrived. SO MUCH BETTER than the ones we get at TSC and pet stores. One $20 toy from elsewhere would last a whole day. For nearly the same price we got a whole bag full AND the company uses profits to help rescue dogs (along with the durability being so much better, I'm speechless)! We will definitely be purchasing again in the future." —Keelie
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
13. A collapsible pet bed ottoman that'll fit a cat or a small-sized pup! You'll be able to kick your feet up knowing they're relaxing right below.
P.S. reviewers LOVE the larger size too!
Promising reviews: "I needed to purchase an ottoman for my bedroom and also replace my dog's little dog house. This product is literally perfect! I have a small Maltese who weighs 10 pounds and she absolutely loves it." —Melissa
"The perfect cat bed for my Maine Coons. They got in it immediately. It's large, sturdy, and looks great in my living room. Room for one inside and one on top." —khakitag
Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in two sizes and 13 colors/patterns).
14. A small silicone-bristled paw washer to get the (very important) job done without taking up storage space. With this you can clean muddy or dusty paws quickly and easily.
Promising review: "This works great! Quality is great and it comes apart easily to rinse off every few uses. My 75-pound lab always has dirty feet after a stroll in the winter/spring/fall in the Midwest, and living in an apartment with no garage space or mudroom to clean him up is not ideal! The paw washer is easy to use and after dunking each foot a few times, we just wipe his feet off with a towel to get any remaining (sometimes dirty) water off of his paws without having to give him a full bath. I ordered the Large but we could have probably done better with the medium." —Haley Albright
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors)
15. An odor-eliminating candle because when you're around your pet 24/7, you may not even notice the smell taking over your home (trust me, it's there). This candle will make your home smell deliciously clean with scents like apple cider, fresh citrus, vanilla sandalwood, and TONS more.
Each candle is made with 100% soy wax and can burn for up to 60 hours. Feline parents also swear by this product for eliminating odors around the house!
Promising review: "I have tried so many candles to kill the odors that I 'think' I smell in my home. I have eight cats and though I know that my house doesn't smell of kitties, I also know that if I 'THINK' it does I have to do everything possible to make me feel better about any kind of odor. These are the best candles out there, I can't say enough about them. I ordered two and have one in my family room in the basement and one upstairs, my WHOLE HOUSE smells incredible. And you can't smell anything. It also takes away cooking odors so it not just for pets." —Kim Judy
BuzzFeed Shopping editor Elizabeth Lilly also finds this candle helpful and said:
"Cleo clocks in hours luxuriating on the couch on the reg. So I light this bad boy to make the joint smell nice and eliminate any dog smells. Sure, regular candles help some. But this candle acts fast and I don't have to keep it lit for long, which is safe/good because I'm terribly forgetful. It comes in so many ~regular~ candle smells like Fresh Citrus and Pumpkin Spice — not just the de rigueur odor-neutralizing Clean Laundry or Fresh Air. And in case you're wondering, Mango Peach smells divine."
Get it from Amazon for $22.99+ (available in multiple scents and 2-packs).
16. A litter box enclosure disguised as furniture — perhaps one of the most genius inventions for pet parents. With its extra large size, it's big enough to house the litter box, the litter bag, treats, and more. Some reviewers say it's perfect for bunnies too!
Promising reviews: "Very easy to assemble and looks and feels great. The extra storage on the top allows you to put your items on to make it much more discreet! It took me a couple of days to decide whether or not to buy it, but I wish I would’ve bought it sooner. Great addition to my room and overall aesthetic." —Edriane Alvaro
"I agonized over which cat furniture to choose to hide my cat's litter box when moving to a smaller apartment space...I am happy I went with this one, which looks really nice. The instructions were surprisingly good and easy to follow; putting it together was simple. You can put the door on either side, and you can also leave out the middle part to fit a larger box." —Wynne
Get it from Amazon for $149.99 (available in three colors).
17. A hanging, portable, multi-level cat condo for homes where a cat tree will just take up too much space. This condo can easily be put away when needed, easily packed when moving, and just frees up so much floor space!
Promising reviews: "I purchased this because we live in a small home and our cat tree was taking up too much space in the living room. I am super happy with my purchase. I have three cats and they all go in it! In the photo [on the right] on the top is our 16-pound cat and it is holding him good! I was a bit worried when I saw how high it was off the ground but they jump into it easily! I love how much space it has saved me and how easy it was to assemble, it took me like three minutes. Really great material too. I think it is thicker than the canopy for my gazebo haha." —Ariel
"I originally bought this 1.5 years ago because I wanted to give my kitty more space in our micro apartment and create a sort of ladder to the loft. It has since traveled around the country with the kitty and myself. It packs well during a move, is very simple to set up, and provides a nice, high, cozy place for her to watch the apartment from. I feel that this was the best thing I've gotten for her. I bought the small version because my kitty is small. At one point we lived with another, very large (16-pound) cat who had trouble fitting into the kitty condo and could only fit in the bottom floor." —Rae-O
Get it from Amazon $68.17+ (available in 3- and 5-story sizes, and in colors tan and gray).
18. A pop-up pet door that you can easily install in a sliding glass door or window for the cat who loves coming in and out (and back in again). If you've got an enclosed balcony or patio, it works great for when small dogs have to use the bathroom, too!
Pop-Up Pet Door is a Carlsbad, California-based small business specializing in pet doors.
Promising review: "I hunted all over the internet for a dog door that would fit our sliding patio door. Finally stumbled across the Pop-Up Pet Door. After some back and forth with the owner I was able to identify which size was right for our home and about a week after ordering we had our door. Took two minutes to install. It looks GREAT and like it would have cost much more... Overall this is a great purchase and I highly recommend!" —Terri Petti
Get it from Pop-Up Pet Door on Etsy for $64.99 (available in two sizes or customized for your window). A transparent flap is available separately for $17.
19. A no-rinse waterless dog shampoo great for pups who absolutely hate the idea of bath time. It smells amazing (like coconut lime) and a main ingredient is oatmeal, which helps soothe itchy, sensitive, or dry skin.
Promising review: "Smells amazing and doesn’t irritate my dog’s skin. It actually aids in making sure my puppy smells great and lasts for multiple days!" —Sherry K, Target Customer
Get it from Target for $6.29 or from Amazon for $9.90.
FYI, there's also a waterless cat shampoo version, too!
20. A wall-mounted scratching post made for cats who like scratching on vertical surfaces (couches, doors, etc.) and sturdy enough for even chonky fur babies to use without worry of it wobbling around. This design takes up WAY less space than the average scratching post and it's pretty cute too!
This is made of sisal wood, which is stronger and sturdier than cheap cardboard (the common material for scratching posts).
Promising review: "The average cat scratching post is a hideous blend of string and beige carpet that sucks the soul from any room in which it is placed. Not this one. This scratching post is sleek, well made and unassuming, blending easily into any room. It arrived well packaged and was easy to install with the hardware provided. Furthermore, it is robustly constructed and stands up to constant use by my cat." —D James
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
21. A roll of double-sided deterrent tape because ruined furniture is way more noticeable in a smaller space. If your fur baby is anything like my cat, the couch corners are fair game. This tape is transparent, so it won't ruin the look of your furniture either.
And yes, it's non-toxic!
Promising reviews: "I used it for my bunny who loved to chew on the baseboards. Whenever he liked to chew I just used this and now he just smells it and won’t chew anymore. Loooove it!! —Cesi Delgado
"It's very sticky and very easy to separate from the backing, and easy to apply to a surface. It's also very easy to cut to size. At first my cats could care less and were still going on the window sill and chewing the blinds. But after a few days they stopped. So it really does work to deter them." —Avid reader
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
22. An artificial grass mat for when grass is nowhere close to your apartment and you'd prefer something other than ugly potty pads. It's a great way to train puppies, or just give your adult pup a place to do their business (especially when you don't feel like going outside).
If you've got a balcony or patio, I highly recommend putting the lawn mat there!
Promising review: "This is the greatest thing on earth! OMG. This is so useful for our patio. We are still potty training our puppy and sometimes we let her potty every hour and having this little patch of grass in our patio works wonders. I read on one of the reviews that you can put a puppy pad in between the layers to absorb the pee... We did that and every couple of days we change the pads and once a week we clean the grass and the two other plastic layers under it with soap and water, let it air dry. We spray each individual parts with a lemon scented pet deodorizer and a few hours later, it's good as new. It sounds like a lot of work, but if you maintain it, it could last a long time. The grass is pretty good quality (considering our pup only pees on the grass, not poop). Our pup is 13 pounds so far and she's still good with this little patch of grass. If you take care of it and use it with puppy pads, this could last you a long time. Really good purchase in my eyes." —Kym
Get it from Amazon for $23.39+ (available in two sizes).
23. Or a discreet faux plant litter box if you'd rather fill space with some greenery. No one will even notice it's where the cat bathroom is!
Promising review: "Out of four different styles of litter boxes, this one is the winner! More space than most standard boxes and super easy to take apart and clean. The plant is realistic and the pebbles it comes with weigh down the top fairly well. You really don’t need to purchase liner or the feeding trays you see on here, I purchased one and it was too small for the litter box but if you’re good about keeping your litter box clean, this is fairly easy to take outside and wash down. My only complaint is the tabs inside lid meet the box itself, they can come undone if you move the box which will cause urine to accumulate in the lip of the lid/box. As long as the lid is properly attached and aligned, it’s pee-free and bye-bye ugly litter boxes. Great find, great price." —Tyler Cutro
Get it from Amazon for $99.95 (available in gray and white).
24. An air purifier that'll suck up all the pet dander and cleanse the air, because it can get a little stuffy in a pet household! Reviewers say it also does a great job getting rid of funky animal smells, too.
Promising reviews: "This product is amazing. We do cat rescue...so I'll just leave it at that. It immediately changed the smell in our home. No more smell, unless it's immediately after someone uses a box. Air just smells cleaner, more fresh. We started with one and bought two more!" —M. Otto
"I originally bought this product because of my family's pet allergies. The purifier is compact and extremely quiet (compared to my previous experiences with other purifiers). So far so good! No one in my home has any pet allergic reactions and it really helps the smell. This device really helps regulate the air and I basically use this 24/7. The night-light comes in handy and my pup sleeps next to the purifier 75% of the time. I really recommend this product to anyone with allergies, pets, or stuffy houses." —Lien Nguyen
Get it from Amazon for $89.99 (available in black and white).
25. An anti-chew spray to protect your sacred furniture and that one sweater your cat or dog seems to love munching on. And the best part? Because it's nontoxic and safe for your pet, many dog owners also use this spray to discourage fur biting and hair chewing along with using as a furniture deterrent.
Grannick's is a family-owned small business that focuses on one safe and effective products: the Bitter Apple Taste Deterrent. The formula was created by pharmacist Irv Grannick in the '60s after realizing there was no deterring product that actually worked.
Promising reviews: "My five month old Golden Retriever was not happy being baby-gated into our kitchen, he was tearing everything up! So we used the Bitter Apple on the furniture in the living room so he could roam while we are at work. He hasn't chewed on anything! And we all know how puppy Goldens love to chew!" —MurphyPascal, Petco customer
"I bought this the beginning of last week because my puppy has started teething. She was chewing on all of my furniture (kitchen cabinets, hutch, table, chairs, rug, etc). She would also try to bite my feet. I sprayed this on everything she was chewing (including my socks), twice daily. Within four days, she stopped chewing on everything and now only chews on her toys! A must have for anyone with a puppy! —Regina13, Petco customer
26. An interactive cat toy that'll keep your cat entertained and happy, even if they're playing alone.
Promising review: "Wow, this simple toy is amazing! My 4-year-old cat, who is not a fan of any toys or catnip, absolutely adores this easy, wire and cardboard thingy! I saw this and on a whim, ordered it thinking for the money I could toss it if she was once again not impressed. She loves it. Her only other favorite plaything has been wire bread sack ties hooked together and spiral curled around my finger. All normal cat toys, regardless of price, have been a bust. I am ordering these for gifts for our whole family of cat lovers! Brilliant!" —T. Whit
Get it from Amazon for $1.67.
27. An organic cat grass growing kit to help prevent hairballs and indigestion your cat may have. It's made from a blend of barley, flax, oat, and wheat seeds and is a good source of vitamins and minerals. (And it's black thumb approved!)
The Cat Ladies is a family-owned small biz ran by an animal-loving mother-daughter duo. They sell unique, environmentally-friendly pet products such as their best-selling cat grass kit!
Promising review: "I am very impressed with this!!! I have two rescue kitties that are indoor only... I was reluctant to try this because I do NOT have a green thumb at all... But I figured I'd give this a try. Amazingly, it worked!!!... My cats are enjoying it and it seems to be working well for them. They're not chewing on the stray synthetic carpet fibers from their worn out kitty condo (I'm sure that can't be healthy for them), so I'm very happy with this product. I would definitely recommend this. If it'll grow for me, it'll grow for anyone." —Lynda Dundar
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
28. A small handheld vacuum that's incredibly effective in cleaning up pet hair and the perfect size if storage space is limited. The special rubber nozzle picks up fur with ease, especially on hard-to-vacuum areas like stairs.
Promising review: "I have tried sooooo many different types of handheld vacuums to get pet hair out. I’ve wasted so much money. UNTIL NOW! I am absolutely mind blown by how well this vacuum works!!! THIS IS A MUST HAVE IF YOU HAVE PETS. It was so easy to use and I love the silicone top because it makes it easy to get into the little cracks of the stairs. I have carpet for the stairs so I didn’t have the issue that others had with the air blowing things to the side. My main goal for this vacuum was to get the hairs that are stuck in the carpet out. Others must be using the vacuum for crumbs. I was so excited by how my stairs turned out, I also used it on my couch to get the little feathers from my pillows out. Worked great. Highly recommend!! —Franchesca Nguyen
Get it from Amazon for $30.99.
29. Or a robot vacuum you can let loose to clean your home without any effort needed on your end. This will help keep every nook and cranny of your home pet hair-free (especially the tiny crevices you can't reach without moving around all the furniture). If you run it a few hours everyday, that'll cut down tons of cleaning time for you later.
This vacuum is self-charging and comes with a charging base as well as a remote control (batteries included), four side brushes, an AC power adapter, and a cleaning tool.
Promising review: "After running Eufy for nearly two months now, I can confidently say I absolutely LOVE it! It is amazing on my hardwood floors. It picks up sooo much fine dust brought in by my two German Shepards! They shed year-round! And it’s super effective with pet hair! Wow! I use Eufy once a day for a little more than hour, emptying and cleaning the brushes out about three to four times during use. It seriously has been life-changing, keeping my floors cleaner than sweeping! Great purchase and I would highly recommend!!" —Jacqueline M
Get it from Amazon for $139.99 (also available in white).
30. A coffee table with a pet bed area right below! Throw in your pet's favorite blanket or fluffy bed and you'll find them hanging out there all day long (and not taking up space elsewhere).
31. A cat chew toy that's ultra strong and resilient against your pet's gnarly fangs. It's made of natural rubber on the outside, with a bag of catnip on the inside to keep them interested.
Promising reviews: "My kitten has been obsessed with biting the corners of my laptop screen and this toy has been the best solution! She will chew on it for five minutes and lose interest in my office supplies :) Overall durable for the amount of chewing she does." —Tina Wheeler
"My cat just loves this little cactus!!! I cannot seem to find my cat without this cactus. She will carry it around from napping spot to napping spot, so that she has her little buddy with her wherever she goes. She uses it to chew on, scratch her face or just taunt the other cat with to make her jealous that she got the cactus first! I love this little cactus 10/10! Thanks for the awesome toy for my cat! It feels like part of the family!!!" —Zach
"My cat has had it for 10 minutes and is already obsessed with it! Excellent toy for older kittens who need to be trained to chew on toys and not mommy’s arms." —Sarah Bresnahan

32. A pack of odorless gold yak dog chews, one of the original "something to keep them busy" treats. These babies are still in the game because they work! They're made of natural materials and are 100% milk-based (i.e. no artificial ingredients will be getting into your pup!).
When the stick gets a little small, many reviewers shared that they simply pop it into the microwave for a few seconds to puff it back up a bit. It helps the stick last just a little bit longer, and your pup will definitely appreciate it.
Promising review: "I have picky dogs: an elderly teacup Chihuahua, a 13-pound spicy rat terrier and a 120-pound GSD. Each of them has a preference for relaxation snacks. Usually not the same. I bought these on a whim. I'm glad I did. I figured they'd at least work for one dog since all three love cheese. I really didn't expect them all [to love them]....Nowadays it's hard for us to find treats that satisfy all three. This one though definitely does. On average one treat lasts the big dog a day (an hour), two days if he's chewing and putting it down, and a few if they've had enough chews around the house and just browse. I like that it's a basic ingredient food and love that it's versatile. If soaked in water it softens so a dog who normally wouldn't be able to can enjoy one but just by itself it will hold up reasonably to big jaws." —Cynna

33. A convertible cat scratching pad that can be used as a side table and a cat toy. It can rotate 90 degrees, hold up to 19 pounds, and can be moved in three different positions!
34. A Feliway calming diffuser kit to help anxious pets or ones who constantly scratch or urinate on furniture. This diffuser releases pheromones with a scent-less aroma that helps cats (and even dogs, according to reviewers) relax. It also works great if your pet is having trouble adjusting to new surroundings or has separation anxiety.
Cats naturally produce the same pheromones in the diffuser, so you don't have to worry about your cat getting into potentially toxic ingredients.
Promising review: "Worth the money! I've used these in the past with previous cats and they never fail to help relieve my cats' anxiety. The only drawback is that they are incredibly bulky." —Jessie

35. A tiny but mighty scraper tool you can use to get all of the mountains of fur from your area rugs and carpets. It's so small, it'll barely take up any space in a drawer!
Promising review: "This little miracle tool loosens every little follicle of Gretchen fuzz with ease. I no longer have to worry about getting out of my truck in my favorite corduroy pants looking like I just rode a llama cross-country. All in all, I would highly recommend this product." —Amazon Customer

36. A dog DNA kit because wouldn't it be awesome to know what kind of pup your dog *really* is? If you've got a rescue mutt, this is a must!
Promising review: "Brought this as a quarantine impulse purchase and I'm glad I did! Very easy to use swab and clear instructions. Mailing envelope with return postage included so all you need to do is swab and put in the mailbox. The website is easy to use; lots of quizzes to take about your dog's behavior, which was fun. Emails updating on the status of the swab and testing kept me updated so I knew about how long to wait. Final results were very fun and detailed! Some of the results I expected but I was very surprised at some of the mixes. I have had Captain for six years and have always said he was a lab/basset mix but he is mostly lab/dachshund/Australian sheperd, which is just wild to me. I got the health screen as well, and the results are clear and easy to share with your vet. 10/10 great quarantine (or any day) purchase" —Cassidy Lucas
