1. A snuffle mat designed to mimic the hunt for food in grass and fields. It's perfect for rainy fall days when your pup is stuck inside. This mat has four layers of petals that make it easier to hide larger chunks of food.
The mat also has a buckle and handle so you can fold it up for easy travel.
Promising review: "Wow, what a great toy!! I have so many treat-dispensing toys, licky mats, Kongs, etc., and this mat is by far the favorite of my dogs! I love it because it not only wears them out physically, but mentally, too! I hide a combination of dog food and treats torn into tiny pieces, and it takes about 30 minutes for them to find it all — probably longer if I only had one dog using it. It’s durable and fun! Highly recommend for bored pups! 😁" —B. Carr
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
2. A kitty fountain with multiple drinking options to suit each kind of water drinker: calm flow, stream (with spout), and bubbling top. The ears on the fountain prevent water splashes, and the paws make it easy to pick up. The cute little cat nose lights up to let you know when it's time to refill, and the triple action filter ensures your cat's water is clean, too.
Promising review: "I purchased two other Catit fountains which I love to this day! This was the one I purchased for my 82-year-old mother that cannot walk by herself. I purchased it so that she didn't have to wash the dish every day and refill for her favorite Sammy kitty. It is quieter than my older ones, and a lot cuter. He loves it! He never had one before, but now, he drinks more than he would have with the dish sitting there day and night. So much healthier for him, AND she is less apt to fall when changing it every 30 days." —Cathy
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in five colors).
3. A super-chic Christian Cowan designer sweater for your fashion-savvy pet because you're not the only one excited about ~sweater weather~.
Maxbone is a small luxury pet brand from Parisa Fowles-Pazdro. They specialize in modern apparel and accessories as well as high-quality dog food.
Promising review: "I love the Maxbone x Christian Cowan jumpers! The colorful, fluffy fabric has actual feathers in it! It’s very chic. I have two Italian greyhounds and have one jumper in hot pink and the other in mint." —Lauren M.
"This sweater is amazing!!! Fits wonderfully on our Australian Cattle dog!! I cannot wait to have winter days where she can wear it all the time." —Iliana R.
Get it from Maxbone for $95 (available in sizes S–XXL and four colors).
4. A no-chew spray perfect for antsy cats and dogs that like to chew on everything BUT their toys. Also useful for training, this bitter formula helps to deter your pet from chewing things they aren't supposed to or licking wounds that need to heal. It's made with gentle and safe ingredients that won't make your pet sick, either.
Promising review: "Our mini, who is about a year, was chewing anything and everything. She is bored, literally all of the time. If we fall asleep before she’s ready, she chews. Specifically, my brand new $500 coffee table and $3k bedroom set. She chewed cover knobs off of our bed and our $200 bedroom rug. My dog eats socks like a flipping candy bar. She has been touched by Satan himself. She won’t touch anything after the spray. This dog eats socks (just ask my vet), wood, toys…nope. Won’t touch it now. We have a Pit and a Rottie mix rescue who don’t chew, but this solidifies it. Highly recommend, and if your dog chews through that? RUN." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.71.
5. A thermo cat pod to provide low gentle warmth that your cat will love to snuggle up in on a chilly day. Psssst, it also works for small dogs, too.
Promising review: "The cats love the warmth and shelter it provides. But most importantly, they love that it has a convenient window on top so they can still see what's going on in the house." —Casie Tucker
Get it from Amazon for $74.95+ (available in two colors).
6. A variety pack of pumpkin dog treats so your canine companion can get into the pumpkin vibesssss. The treats come mixed with cranberry, sweet potato, apple, banana, and blueberry flavors.
Promising review: "These cookies are great because they are grain-free and pumpkin-based. They smell so good, and my dogs really enjoy the flavor assortment. I have four dogs in different breeds and sizes. They all love their cookies." —Carla Carlson
Get it from Amazon for $25.92+ (available in sizes and quantities).
7. A hella cute dog accessory bundle complete with everything you need for a successful and stylish walk in the park. It comes with a treat pouch, a leash, and a matching harness. "Alexa, play 'I Deserve' for all the puppies in the room."
I recently got this set in peach for the Frenchie I share with my best friend. It is gorgeous and super steady, too. I've found that sometimes the pretty dog stuff isn't so great on quality but rest assured, the quality ain't lacking on this set. Plus, I love that it's all made to go together so you're literally suited and booted for a successful walk. I mean, what more can you ask for?
Promising review: "Love it so much!" —Morgan S.
Get it from Maxbone for $115 (originally $125; available in sizes S–XXL and six colors).
8. A memory foam dog bed so your pup can have their own comfy place to lounge and watch Netflix. The orthopedic bed has a removable and washable cover that make cleaning it a breeze and, it has waterproof lining in case of accidents.
Promising review: "I had recently purchased a soft, fluffy bed for our 10-year-old miniature Schnauzer but noticed that she would get up from her bed limping. I wondered if it could be that she needed a more supportive bed, so I bought this one. Instantly the limping stopped. She needed a comfy bed with more support. This bed is it!!! It is easy to wash and keeps its shape after washing but does require a little extra drying time. I’m planning to purchase another one in the future so she will have one upstairs and one downstairs . I also love that this dog bed is made with CertiPUR-US certified foam. Great price as well for the high quality of this bed." —Momof4blessings
Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and two colors).
9. An oatmeal shampoo that'll soothe their itchy or dry skin leaving them with a moisturized and shiny coat.
Promising review: "Purchased the Oatmeal Shampoo for my puppy and it works great. Her fur is so soft, clean, and the smell is wonderful. I love that the ingredients are all natural with no harsh chemicals. It is also environmentally safe and cruelty free product." —Elaine
Get it from Harry Barker for $16.
10. A treat-dispensing dog toy to entertain them and feed them when you're busy finishing those last-minute tasks for your boss before you head out for the weekend. The toy also has a little opening that makes it easy to interlock with another.
Fable is a small, family-run business that creates problem solving pet products for YOU and your PET.
Promising review: "Lola has dozens of toys and this toy is her absolute favorite. She uses it like a pacifier — literally. We stuff it with her favorite chicken treats and she licks it out. Calms her and she falls asleep after. Literally like a toddler, which she is, but it's a lifesaver." —Jennifer T.
Get it from Fable for $23 (available in eight colors).
11. A rinseless shampoo for a no-fuss bath time regimen. Shake, spray, and rub and your pup will be left with a deodorized and healthy coat. It's vegan, hypoallergenic, and made without artificial colors, chemicals, or fragrances. They'll appreciate the quick sprucing up so they can get back to watching the dog channel.
Promising review: "I use this on my dog when she comes home from doggie daycare. I spray it even over her coat, rub it in, and when it’s dry, give her a light brushing. She’s a Pit so she has short hair. Leaves her coat so soft and smelling fresh!" —Amanda K.
Get it from Wild One for $11.90 (originally $14).
12. A pair of all-terrain dog boots so their paws can be comfortable when they explore the great outdoors with their human. They like to hike, bike, and run just like you. So if you get new boots, they do, too.
Promising review: "They’re great! They stay on our Golden Retriever’s feet very well (we use them with the Ruffwear socks). It took her very little time to adjust to using them, despite them being her first pair of shoes. The only issue we’ve seen is that they come off pretty easy when used on soft surfaces (carpet, grass, etc.), but that isn’t too big of a deal." —Andrew M.
Get it from Ruffwear for $39.95 (available in eight sizes).
13. A liquid tartar remover to take the hassle out of keeping up with your pet's dental hygiene. This formula helps to treat bad breath in both cats and dogs, while reducing plaque and tarter buildup and promoting healthy gums.
Promising review: "My dog's molars were turning black, and he had a ton of buildup on his canines. His gums were beginning to look inflamed. And, of course, his breath could kill a horse. After one week of constant use (a cap full for every bowl of water), you could see an obvious difference in tooth color. I was blown away. (Why can’t human mouthwash do such a good job on our teeth?) After three weeks, his molars were almost completely clean. After a couple months of use, the plaque on his canines was soft enough to brush some of it off, which was totally impossible before. Plaque covered the canine approximately 70%. Obviously that's no longer the case. IDK what wild stuff this solvent this is made of, but it keeps his gross mouth clean as a whistle. Now I don’t have to worry about my picky princess mutt losing his teeth because he can’t be bothered to chew anything." —BaconPancakes
Get it from Amazon for $8.41.
14. A set of pet stairs ideal for puppies, small dogs, or cats to get up and down from high surfaces with ease. Reviewers suggest using treats to help your pet get the hang of going up and down.
Promising review: "I ordered this so that my son's new puppy can get on his bed by herself. He broke his arm and cannot lift the growing Husky/German Shepherd mix easily. It only took a few minutes for her to get the hang of climbing up! Putting a treat on each step helped. :) But going down? It's more steep than she would like. She's tumbled a few times. But being a puppy, that didn't affect her or deter her. She'll get it! If they weren't this steep, they would extend too far into the room to make the room navigable. When the puppy is too big for these steps, I will move them to a different room for the cats to use. The assembly couldn't have been easier. My 12-year-old son put these stairs together by himself and toted them down the hall to his brother's bedroom for him. My son then proceeded to dance on them, up and down and up and down the steps, testing their durability and showing the cats and dog how to use them. They closely resemble the cat tower furniture throughout the rest of the house, but are SO MUCH more sturdy! I highly recommend these steps to anyone with a critter that craves independence. Or a new puppy owner with a broken arm. Whichever!" —Kasee Johnson
Get it from Amazon for $38.99+ (available in two heights and three colors).
15. An elevated dog bed with a canopy so your pupper can lounge outside even when there are slight showers. You can use it on your patio or use it indoors to give your pet another ~hangout~ where they can have some alone time.
By the way, some reviewers say this elevated bed is great for cats, too!
Promising review: "I am so happy that I bought this for my pup!! We hang out together outside, and I don't worry about bugs/ants from the ground getting to him. He loves to lay on the hammock, as I call it, and he looks like a king! The other great part was it took NO TOOLS, and I had it together under 15 minutes (and I'm not the savviest)." —Mary
Get it from Amazon for $54.95+ (available in two sizes, nine colors, and with or without a canopy).
16. A portable paw cleaner because your puppy loves outdoor fun but also likes to keep their paws clean, too. Now puppy can have all the fun without leaving traces of it all over your house or car.
Promising review: "This product is great. My puppy is a digger, and we have red clay-type dirt. It gets her paws clean fast and easily. So much better than having to get a bath every time she digs." —Mandi Bultman
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes and five colors).
17. A bird feeder you can hang on your porch and watch as all the rockin' robins flock to it. You'll be the talk of the trees as birdies from near and far come by to take a bite or two. One reviewer said they loved it so much, they're considering getting a subscription!
Find out why this bird owner loves this feeder in this TikTok video.
Promising review: "I LOVE these birdseed bells! I have bought them so many times, and highly recommend! One of the few things I might actually make a subscription for. I tried making my own seed cakes to save on costs, but these are simple, cheap enough, and seem to hold together better. I like the variety of seeds included in the mix. It seems to last a long time (a week or two for my area). I'm pretty sure the packaging and T-stake from the bell are recyclable. In Washington State this has attracted black capped chickadees, junco, house finch, northern flickers, red breasted nuthatch, sparrows, and more. I hope this helps someone! :)" —Sher
Get it from Amazon for $9.10+ (available in three flavors).
18. A pair of as-seen-on Shark Tank waterproof pet leggings so your furry friend can be protected from dirt and germs during their afternoon stroll. Or snag a pair of indoor leggings to give them more support while trotting across your hardwood floors.
Walkee Paws is a small business that makes doggy leggings so your pup's paws can stay protected as it struts up and down the streets. Enter our code WALKEEBUZZ at checkout for 15% off.
Promising review: "I love the Walkee Paws. Unlike the other type of dog boots, these stay on her tiny feet. My little girl never liked walking in the rain or snow. The first time I put them on her inside the house, she was hesitant to walk, but with a little coaxing, she walked off the rug onto the wooden floor. When she realized that she didn't slip, she started acting silly, running back and forth in the house. Now she loves walking in the snow and water puddles." —Cynthia C.
Get it from Walkee Paws for $39.99+ (available in various styles and sizes).

19. A mounted brush that'll satisfy your cat's desire for scratches and collect some of that loose hair before it hits the ground. It mounts on the wall so it's like sharing chores with your four-legged roommate.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but we have two wall corners that our cats are always rubbing on that we have to constantly wipe clean. Assembly and installation took less than five minutes for both. I placed them at two different heights, one that would be comfortable for them to rub their faces on, and the other so they could rub their body along. The cats were leery at first, but it didn't take long for them to figure out what was up. Now they're always rubbing against it when they go in and out or walk past. Glad they're enjoying it, and that we not longer have to keep wiping those walls down." —Jason Ross
Get it from Amazon for $5.50.
20. A teach-and-treat toy to provide your bunny with a little mental stimulation. It has three levels — easy, medium, and hard — so you can give your smart little hopper a challenge.
See how much one bunny loves it on TikTok.
Promising review: "This product is absolutely wonderful. I have a very smart rabbit who constantly needs enrichment. The fact that this product has different levels of intensity, and how hard it is to reach the treats inside, makes it more enriching for my rabbit. He absolutely loves this thing and figured it out fairly quickly. It will keep him busy for a good hour or two, which is wonderful! I would definitely recommend to anyone who owns a rabbit!" —Sam25
Get it from Amazon for $12.51.
21. A pack of matatabi chew sticks your kitty will not only enjoy because they're fun and delicious, but they'll also help to improve their dental health. It's a good catnip alternative too.
Meowy Janes is a wonderfully named small business based in New Egypt, New Jersey. It specializes in catnip and catnip alternatives.
BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart loves these...or...her cats do!
"I recently tried some of these out with my cats and they were a hit! TBH they've never really been super into catnip — they'll play with it but they don't go wild — so I was excited to see they were into these. They bat them around, rub their faces all over them, and ultimately, when they're done, hide them under a chair or in their cat condo so they can come back to them later."
Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical about this, but my cat likes to sneak outdoors and will chew on sticks or leaves that I may drop on my way to the waste bin as I carry them through the house to the garage. This is his favorite Christmas present. He is all over it. Then he naps. Funny." —Rebecca Warren
Get it from Amazon for $9.97.
22. A bully stick holder to put your mind at ease when your tail-wagging friend wants to chow down on their pizzle stick. There's always a possibility dogs can choke on their stick treats especially when the treats splinter or get chewed down to the bare bits. This gadget holds the treat tightly so you can enjoy your Saturday night movie without worrying.
bThere are several sizes to choose from based on the width of the chew sticks you give your pet: small (for treats 1/2 inch to 3/4 inches), medium (5/8 inches to 7/8 inches), and large (3/4 inches to 1 1/8 inches).
Promising review: "We recently got a new puppy who loves to chew on everything (the table, my shoes, our other dogs, etc.). Once we discovered bully sticks, we thought we were home free, but then I started reading about all these horror stories where dogs swallow the last few inches of the bully stick. Sure enough, a few days later, I see one of my other dogs coughing while frantically making chewing motions. I ran over and luckily managed to fish out the last bit of bully just before it went down his throat. If this could happen to my older dog with 13 years of chewing experience, I knew it was just a matter of time before the puppy did the same thing. These are the greatest invention ever! They are sturdy and grip the stick like nobody's business when used according to the directions. (You have to twist the stick, people. Pay attention to the directions!) There are no parts that break off, and the shape is fun for the dogs. Plus, they're light enough that the dogs can carry them around in their mouth. If you give your dog any kind of chew stick, I cannot recommend these enough. We have three BullyGrips at the moment (one small and two medium) but we have four dogs, so we'll probably get one more. These are half the price of the competition and work so much better. We'll never use anything else again." —Mikara
Get the small size from Amazon for $15.95.
23. A creamy paw butter ideal for keeping your doggy's paws moisturized so they don't crack. You can use it on their snoots, too. And it's safe if they lick or swallow it... good to know for your little rascal always getting into stuff.
Promising review: "One of my puppers is a super-athlete who lives to go for walks and on runs. She is about 9 now and the vet gave her a stellar bill of health save one thing: her pads were getting really rough and worn from paved trails and city walks and this may be uncomfortable, especially as summer comes and pavement heats up. I was skeptical about any kind of balm as I figured that it would leave a mess on my floors or one/both dogs would just lick it off their feet. No problems whatsoever, and after a single application, both dogs' pads are really soft and supple. Hopefully the dogs can feel the difference. I can surely see it and feel it. Also, the balm smells like oatmeal cookies, so bonus for that." —LRL
Get it from Amazon for $6.76.
24. A sturdy hammock so your fancy feline can kick back, relax, and enjoy the view of falling leaves and rain. It's sturdy, but can easily be moved to another room while you're searching for the purrr-fect spot.
Promising review: "This is perfect for our situation. We needed something sturdy that could easily be placed, moved, replaced, and not lose its integrity or leave any marks/wear behind. I was worried when purchasing if the suction cups would hold, and if the material of the hammock would be easily cleaned of hair, etc. After receiving and placing the item, I saw how sturdy the general frame, hammock, and suction cups were. This was clearly designed by someone who has cats as well. The wire that attaches it to the window is sturdy and thick. It seems like it will stand the test of time against my cats teeth. I have three cats under 1 year old and one 2-year-old cat. There is a lot of energy, and lots of chewing. Immediately I felt at ease that the structure will not be tampered with by their fangs." —The Cat Mom
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
