1. A heavy-duty Benebone chew that'll stand up to even the toughest chompers. Reviewers say the wishbone shape makes it easy for their dogs get a firm grip (so you won't have to hold it for them) and that it lasts much longer than other bones.
2. A pack of compostable wipes that'll come in handy after you guys get caught in the rain on your walk. They're infused with shea butter, chamomile, and aloe vera, so they'll be gentle on sensitive tootsies.
3. A kitty cave bed that'll give your fierce feline their own cozy and private lair to slumber in. The included cushion will also give them a convenient spot to perch and peep out the window while they guard their estate.
4. A bottle of stain and odour spray that'll cut through the foulest smells your pet can generate. Reviewers love that it doesn't leave behind splotches or outlines (like some other cleaners), and say it even banishes the stench of cat pee.
5. An playpen that'll give your four-legged friend a safe place to hang when left to their own devices. It has a step-through door that'll make it easy to let them in and out without messing with the integrity of the pen.
6. An aquarium pH testing kit that you can use to check up on the H2O in your tank (your fish friends deserve the freshest and cleanest water in town, duh). Each strip will give you readings for total carbonate, hardness, and pH levels that you can match to the provided colour chart.
7. A string of training bells that'll give your Einsteinian furball an easy way to let you know when they need to potty. Reviewers say that it didn't take their dogs very long to figure it out, and like that all six of the bells are removable, so they can adjust how noisy it is.
8. A no-pull harness that'll keep your dogs busy body under control, so they won't literally rip your arm off when they hear the siren song of squirrel chatter.. Reviewers say the harness has been a game-changer, and are relieved that their excitable pups aren't wheezing and choking themselves on their leads anymore.
9. An elevated dog cot that'll help your long-haired floofs stay cool as the weather gets warmer. Reviewers say their pups love using it to sunbathe outside, and like that the mesh material doesn't retain odours or get covered in hair like other beds do.
10. A self-cleaning litter box that'll take care of your critter's messes automatically or at the press of a button. You can leave it on autopilot for weeks at a time without worrying about your cat using unhygienic facilities, and the included crystal litter won't stick to their toe beans like the traditional clay stuff.
11. And a kitty litter mat that'll trap the excess grit and granules your feline friend likes to kick out of their box. It's gentle on their paws and is waterproof, so any liquidy accidents can be easily hosed off.
12. A cat harness and leash set that'll keep your curious kitty safe when they're exploring the great outdoors. Reviewers like that it goes on easily (even without unbuckling) and that it's snug enough that their slippery felines can't Houdini their way out.
14. A plush pet bed that'll replace their old, worn out one. It's made of chew-proof fabric (so your pup won't be able to chomp through it) and the protective inner lining will prevent accidents from soaking into the mattress pad.
15. An ultra-durable squeaky snake that'll withstand hours of tug time. It has three separate squeakers and zero stuffing (so you won't have to worry about finding a pile of fluff on your couch).
16. A silicone treat mat that'll keep your fur baby occupied while you shampoo and condition them. You just spread on some PB and stick it to the shower wall (and for speedy eaters, you can freeze it beforehand to slow 'em down).
17. A life jacket with a built-in chin rest that'll help keep their head above the water when they go for a dip — willingly or otherwise. Reviewers say it's the perfect swimming device for dogs who love the water, but tire out quickly.
18. A waterproof seat cover that'll save your back seats from muddy paws after a run in the park. There are slots for the buckles, so you won't have to go rooting around for them when you're attaching the included seatbelts.
19. A treat-dispensing puzzle that’ll keep even the fastest eaters from inhaling their food. Reviewers love that they can freeze food inside it when they need to add another layer of difficult.
20. Or a slow-feeder bowl if your pooch doesn't have the time or patience for your complicated puzzles. Reviewers say it's actually helped calmed their dogs down during mealtimes, and like that they don't get as frustrated as when they have to eat out of some trickier feeders.
22. A poop bag carrier that'll hold your furball's business for you after you've picked it up. It's extra handy if you're walking multiple dogs, since you won't accidentally drop the bag while keeping your grip on their leashes.
23. And finally, an undercoat grooming brush with a double-sided rake that'll take care of the most stubborn mats and tangles. Reviewers say it's a must-have for long-haired pets, and were surprised by how much fur it was able to take off (even when they'd literally just brushed their pooches earlier the same day).
