1. A bestselling Outward Hound "Fun Feeder Slo Bowl" specifically designed to slow down how fast your dog is eating (and trust me, they practically inhale their food sometimes) to help improve digestion and promote healthy eating. Plus, no more finding surprise throw up from them eating too much, too fast!
2. A convenient PetSafe self-cleaning litter box complete with a disposable crystal tray that requires no scooping, cleaning, or refilling for *weeks.*
3. An anxiety-reducing Snuggle Puppy stuffed toy with a heating pad and battery-operated beating heart to help comfort your pup when you're not around.
Promising review: "We bought this for our newly adopted 10-week-old puppy. He loved it almost immediately. In his first week with us, he had one night of crying every couple hours, but I was able to settle him fairly quickly, and since then he’s been sleeping through the night. Snuggle Puppy is a game changer, and I highly recommend it." —MamaD
Price: $39.99

4. A budget-friendly knotted rope toy to keep your pup busy for hours (and hours) on end while you hop on back-to-back Zoom calls.
5. An interactive dog puzzle toy that'll help keep pups occupied on busy days when squeezing in extra outdoor time feels near impossible.
Promising review: "Love this. If your dog is treat motivated, I would 100% recommend! It was raining and I couldn’t walk my dog; this helped them become busy." —Anonymous tee hee
Price: $19.99
6. An ingenious dog toy created with a durable, multilayer chenille fabric design that'll let your pup enjoy playing fetch indoors — but with less noise and less of a chance of breaking things. A win/win if I do say so myself.
Promising review: "This toy is awesome for my dog! She loves to fetch anytime of day so inside makes it fun too! This ball is great on furniture and walls!" —Dobermanluver01
Price: $10.99
7. A set of airtight food storage containers to keep your pets' food fresh — and to keep them from sneaking their way into their food bags (again).
Promising review: "The air tight latch component feature is what impressed me because the various types of food smells were contained in that compartment! Just remember to make sure to press down the lid firmly around the perimeter before locking the latches down! I went back to store and bought two more boxes! Awesome containers." —A Must Buy
Price: $22.99
8. A popular dog paw cleaning device boasting gentle bristles that'll scrub away any dirt they've accumulated from being outside so you can spend more time cuddling your pup and less time cleaning mud off your rugs.
9. A very helpful UV black light that's capable of revealing any accidents so you'll know exactly where you need to use your heavy-duty carpet cleaner next.
Promising reviews: "I got it because I got multiple pets and kids that live in my house and I’m a clean freak. I need to know where to focus on cleaning all the mattresses. Let's be real. Mattresses must be cleaned and especially if they are filthy. And this purchase has been making my life easier." —Jessica
Price: $14.69
10. A tried-and-true odor-eliminating spray with the borderline-magical ability to make your carpets, furniture, and flooring look like they've never even seen a stain.
Promising review: "My sweet rescue dog has a habit of urinating on the carpet in the middle of the night, or every first thing in the morning. While we continue to work on house training, I needed something to help with the odor. I have a steam cleaner, have tried every spray…and this is the first thing that has actually eliminated all of the odor (not just mask it)." —Anon
Price: $24.49
11. A purrrfect automatic water fountain offering a steady, trickling stream that'll encourage your cat to stay hydrated (but, like, in a fun and cute way).
Promising review: "I found this without planning on buying one from Target. I have a former outdoor-only cat that splashes his water dish. I set it up and he and my other cats drank out of it almost instantly. They seem to like it much better than a different one I tried in the past. The price is also great!" —Courtneymay
Price: $26.49
12. An LED collar that will help you keep track of Fido when he needs to head out for a nighttime bathroom break. Some reviewers swear this collar has even saved their pups' lives by helping them stay visible.
13. A popular vegan and organic snout soother to keep your doggo's snout smooth and moisturized no matter how dry the air is that day.
Promising review: "My dog has had a dry chapped nose for 10 years. I never knew a product existed to help him. I used this three times and saw a complete transformation. This product is absolutely amazing." —Good Product
Price: $13.99
14. A very convenient waterless apple and honey shampoo designed for cats, especially those who are particularly fussy when bath time rolls around.
Promising review: "My long-haired cat likes being brushed, but his fur ends up looking greasy most of the time...when I saw this dry shampoo I thought I'd give it a try. It smells nice, very mild, slightly sweet, and fruity. My cat seems to either like the smell or like the feeling of being brushed after this is sprayed on his fur because he is even more eager to be brushed than usual. I get more fur in the brush than from dry brushing alone, so my vacuum appreciates it. The best part is he looks show-quality amazing after I'm done and he often feels so satisfied that he curls up and falls asleep purring. A+ Burt's Bees, I'll be buying more when I run out." —altspacecadet

15. A multitasking pair of grooming gloves capable of scooping up excess hair (that you'll be sooo grateful for when cleaning day comes around) as you pet your furry friend.
Promising review: "We adopted Isobel (aka Izzie) from a local shelter. I bought this glove for her to help her transition to her new home and to show her she is loved. The glove is well-made, stitched well, and the little 'fingers' are super! Not too soft and not too stiff, but just right! Izzie is a short-haired gal, so not much hair is removed; however, having used a similar product on other dogs with longer coats I know this one would do a great job of removing shedding fur. Brushing your dog is a great bonding experience (for both of you). This glove is large and comfortable, and one size does fit all. Enjoy!" —riverofmay
Price: $8.59
16. A practical pet nail grinder kit that's battery-powered so you can skip the stressful clipper session while still effectively and painlessly trimming your cat's or dog's nails.
Promising review: "I bought this to grind down my great Pyrenees/mastiff’s talons, as he is absolutely terrified of the regular clippers. He was not afraid of this grinder though, but still not fond of having his paws touched. I got all 12 rear nails done with ease and this grinder held up to the challenge of the thick and large claws that he has, though he has yet to let me touch the front paws. I would recommend this grinder for dogs of all sizes and the higher setting is great for a quick job when dealing with a big baby like mine. The lower price and the fact that it is cordless also makes this product stand out from others." —Chilly6408
Price: $29.99
17. An aesthetically-pleasing top-entry litter box with a litter-catching grooved lid that doesn't even really look like a litter box...and what's better than that (as far as litter boxes go)?
Promising reviews: "Just got two kittens and they both use the box. Easy to clean and looks good." —kitten approved
Price: $49.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors)
18. A portable Bissell Little Green upholstery cleaner that pet owners cannot stop raving about. Seriously, messes and accidents stand no chance against this little guy.
19. A simple yet effective grooming comb that'll easily keep the area under your pup's eyes clear of gunk and tear stains. Be sure to use the comb daily to get the most out of it! Reviewers say it also works well to keep cats hairball-free.
20. And a highly-rated Arm & Hammer Clump & Seal odor-sealing litter to make cleaning the litter box feel like sooo much less of a chore.
