    21 Pet Products To Help With Out-Of-Control Shedding, Muddy Paws, And Other Spring-Related Issues

    Because seasonal allergies can affect all species 🤧

    1. A wrinkle cream that helps soothe itchiness and eliminates dirt and tear stains from the creases of squish-faced babies like French bulldogs, pugs, and American bullies.

    Amazon

    PS: Squishface is a small biz that makes all sorts of problem-solving products for pup's with wrinkles, tear stains, tail pockets, and more. 

    Promising review: "This cream is the miracle worker. My 2-year-old English bulldog had yeast in his wrinkles. I cleaned every day with hydrogen peroxide but it didn't clear it up. It just kept it from getting worse. One night I came across this product. I was desperate and decided to give it a try. Within 24 hours of using Squishface, I noticed a huge difference. Within 48 hours, it was almost gone. By 72 hours it had cleared up. I clean his face before bed and apply the cream. I can't say my bully loves it because seriously what bully likes having their wrinkles cleaned? He tolerates it and I love that it worked for us. It has no smell to it, it's natural, and it WORKS!" —KS92

    2. ChomChom roller ready to put your regular old lint roller to shame. Forget ripping off sheets till you run out — this collects everything in a neat little compartment you simply empty out. With a fur-free couch, guests' eyes will be drawn straight to your seasonal throw blankets and pillows.

    PS: ChomChom is a small biz! And here's more from BuzzFeed Shopping editor Jenae Sitzes (those are her photos above!): 

    "I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller — at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside."

    Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in four colors).

    3. And a fur-eliminating broom capable of squeegeeing enough fur from your carpet that if magically animated — you know, like those brooms in Fantasia — it would transform into a Pekingese.

    Promising review: "I seen several TikToks about this item! And it picked up dog hair that I couldn’t even visually see! Also works good on carpet. The handle is very durable and so is the rake part. The size of the pole is adjustable! I love the yellow handle, too! Makes me find it quicker than my broom! I have three dogs. All shed viciously! Will highly recommend and suggest this to anyone with dog hair issues." —Faith

    Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in eight configurations).

    4. A backseat cover so after your pup rolls around in every muddy puddle they come across at the dog park, you can get them home without needing to professionally detail your SUV immediately after.

    Promising review: "The regular fit great in my 2024 RAV4 Hybrid. I've only had it a week, but there has been a lot of snow, mud, and red dirt brought in by my dogs already and it has protected the seats well. The latch ribbons slip a bit, but it's not a big deal, it just means the cover hangs a bit looser in front and back. It seems secure on the seat itself. The quality seems good. I'm buying a second one so I can always have one in the car while cleaning the other (though for mild cleaning you can just wipe it down in place). Definitely recommend it!" —CK

    Get it from Amazon for $59.99+ (available in two sizes). 

    5. A tub of aloe and eucalyptus ear wipes if your pup suffers from regular infections, wax buildup, or just being an all around stinky, stinky boi.

    Promising review: "My little Beagle has allergies and easily gets yeast in her ears. If your dog is shaking their head and coming up to you to scratch them, get this. It is the best thing for her ears I have ever bought. Buy it now. We are now on the third container of the ear wipes and I love them!! There is a slight scent but it just smells clean. Thank you for a wonderful product!!" —S. nl

    6. pet-specific stain remover sure to hide the fact that Sparky and Fido aren't the perfect angels you make them out to be on Instagram. But that's okay, we all make mistakes.

    Promising review: "I don’t know how I ever survived without this. There’s tons of 'pet stain/odor remover' products out there, but this by far is the absolute best. I foster dogs, some puppies, some older, some not housebroken, and every room in my house is carpeted except the kitchen, which means I have lots of accidents. I spray enough to saturate if it’s a lot of urine, let it soak for 10 minutes, then wipe it up with a hand towel. It’s taken out every stain and, more importantly, the odor is gone! I will never stop buying this product. I recommend it to everyone who has dogs!" —Shelley

    Get it from Rocco & Roxie on Amazon for $19.97+ (available in two sizes).

    7. Or — if you have a carpet cleaning machine — a miracle-working, deodorizing shampoo so freaking good, it'll have your flooring looking like it was just installed yesterday. 

    This solution works great with Bissell, Hoover, McCulloch, Rug Doctor, Kenmore, and Carpet Express vacuum cleaners.

    Sunny & Honey is a family-run small business making cleaning products safe enough to use around pets and powerful enough to get rid of pet stains.

    Promising review: "I have a dog with Cushing’s Disease, and she has frequent accidents, so a good carpet cleaning product is a must. So many products have overwhelming smells to cover the odor or don’t do enough and leave the house smelling like pee even after carpet washing. I liked Sunny & Honey so much for our machine I immediately bought the big bottle after just one use. Four days after the initial cleaning and the house still smells nice. The price may be a few dollars more than what I can buy at my local stores, but it is worth it. The smell isn't overpowering; the house just smells fresh and clean." —Trekkie

    Get it from Sunny & Honey on Amazon for $12.99+ (available in two sizes and scents).

    8. A dematting comb for puppers who shed their undercoat every spring like nobody's business. The two-in-one detangler comb works on long and short coats as well as cats, so they can get in on the party too.

    PS: This product comes from a small biz!

    Promising review: "I LOVE THIS THING. I don’t know why I didn’t order one sooner. It did an amazing job getting out the extra undercoat and mats from my Great Pyrenees, especially when combined with a conditioning spray. Well worth the money, especially if you have a double-coated breed." —Megan Sabljakovic

    Get it from Amazon for $8.97+ (available in two styles). 

    9. A portable paw washer because you'll be damned if your dogs track muddy prints all over your freshly Swiffered home!

    The nifty gadget comes in multiple sizes that work for pups as small as a miniature dachshund and as large as a golden retriever.

    Promising review: "This product is awesome. My dog is 100 pounds and he can get stubborn about paw cleaning. He also, however, loves to run around and get his paws muddy. This makes it really easy to clean all four paws and part of his leg quickly and without fuss. I fill it up with some warm water and grab a towel to dry him off, and I’m done in less than five minutes, no fuss. Then I dump out the water and rinse off the silicone part inside that rubs on his paws to clean them. I can leave this out to dry and it is ready for next time." —Anthony Rodriguez

    Get it from Amazon for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

    10. A tub of paw butter that soothes dry and cracked tootsies (and even noses) with a pH-balanced blend of shea butter, oatmeal, mango, vitamins E and F, coconut and olive oils, and aloe vera.

    Promising review: "I love this stuff so much! It smells so good. Very good at keeping my dog's paws moisturized. Lasts a good while as well! This is my go-to for paw pads." —Sarah F. Valdez

    Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

    11. pack of deodorizing doggie wipes if your babies are stinkyyyyy babies but you don't have the time (or patience) for daily rinse offs.

    Promising review: "Takes care of hound odor (if you've owned a hound — you know!). Great for getting rid of dirt and debris that my basset tends to collect since he's low to the ground. Leaves his coat softer and smelling great." —Lauren

    Get them from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in packs of 25 or 100 and in four scents). 

    12. Some Bissell Stomp 'N Go pads capable of lifting whatever nasty stain your pet left on your new Persian rug. Whether you're picking up slobber, mud, or an "accident" (let's be real — it was just raining and they didn't want to go outside) your fingers don't have to get anywhere near the mess — just throw on a house shoe, toss the pad on top of the stain, and give it a good ol' stomp.

    Promising review: "I love this product! It's a game-changer. I have an older dog that is now starting to have accidents. I rent my place, and I was carpet cleaning every other week. Now with this, I don’t have to as much. She went on my new rug, which is white, and I was convinced it was gonna be ruined, but it’s not! The Stomp and Go did its job! My rug is perfect and no urine stains or odor. If you have a puppy or older dog, I highly suggest this product." —Sandra E.

    Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $26.65.

    13. A snout-soothing stick that helps with all sorts of nose woes from run-of-the-mill dryness and cracks to overgrowths and hyperkeratosis. The all-natural formula — with hemp seed oil, chamomile, jojoba oil, rosemary, and vitamin E — also includes SPF so it'll protect their snoot from the sun, too.

    Natural Dog Company is a small biz that specializes in vet-approved balms, supplements, and other health and wellness solutions for pups.

    Promising review: "Holy cow! This is a snout-healing wonder. Seriously. We have a senior Boxer who was rescued under harsh conditions. He came bearing emotional and physical complications. Whatever is usual for a dog, particularly a Boxer, had been exemplified many times over. So, an ordinary chafed nose became a lifetime challenge. Our vet recommended this product, something affordable and without frills. The stick is easy to use and store. The Old Man isn’t crazy about anyone messing with his snout but he tolerates the application of this pretty well. He gets relief within minutes and within a few hours a crack will show healing. Good value and lasts a lot longer than you might think." —Beje

    Get it from Amazon for $5.95.

    14. A lick-safe doggy sunscreen made with moisturizing aloe vera so your baby can enjoy time in the sun without worry. You can spray their coat or directly onto any exposed skin, their snout, ears, etc. so they're ready for time outside.

    Warren London is a small biz making dog grooming products that help with all kinds of skin problems.

    Promising review: “This product is so helpful. My poor pup has a white-spotted nose and it gets sunburnt so easily, along with the inside of his ears. So I just spray a little of this when he decides to sunbathe and he hasn’t been burnt since!” —Danielle Fender

    Get it from Warren London on Amazon for $13.99.

    15. A hot spot and itch relief spray formulated with hydrocortisone which can help ease discomfort from spring-induced allergies, bug bites, and general inflammation. It's this or watching your pup scratch themselves raw and that's just devastating. 😢 

    Promising review: “This stuff is amazing! I have a few different kinds of sprays and shampoo and this particular actual seems to help my dog instantly! He doesn’t even try to get away when I’m putting it in him unlike other anti-itch or medicated pet sprays!” —Cher/Cheryl Sever 

    Get it from Amazon for $15.99.

    16. An all-natural itch relief shampoo bar made for fur babies with sensitive skin, hot spots, and/or seasonal allergies. The pet-safe formula includes olive, coconut, castor, and lavender oils as well as apple cider vinegar, which not only smells delish, but soothes irritated skin.

    Simple Sage Dog Treats / Etsy

    Simple Sage Dog Treats is a small business based in Norcross, Georgia, that specializes in all-natural paw balms and soaps for dogs with allergies or skin conditions.

    Promising review: "I was really hesitant to buy the bar soap because I wasn’t sure about how it would lather up, but when I read the great reviews I decided to try it. I am so glad I did! The soap lathered up really well, smells amazing and it really works. I will definitely be buying this again." —jdmiget

    Get it from Simply Sage Dog Treats on Etsy for $9.50.

    17. Or a moisturizing lavender and oatmeal shampoo if your pup has taken one too many dives into a mud puddle or — even worse — rolled in their friend's poo now that the weather's nice enough for them to go back to the dog park. 

    Promising review: "My dog has several allergies and this shampoo has helped so much. When he gets a break out, the shampoo stops the smell that comes off of him, it stops him from shedding, and it soothes his skin so he stops scratching. I recommend this shampoo to all dog owners!" —Rochelle Bueno

    Get it from Amazon for $11.95

    18. And a curved shower attachment that shoots out water in a narrow, contoured spray so you can really get into your bebes' thick coat and effectively wash away said poop without having to touch it too much. 🙃

    Promising review: "So I was skeptical because I thought 'how is this different or better than my current pullout showerhead?' Well, I dunno how to explain it but this thing was a HUGE lifesaver when washing my dogs. Unlike a regular round showerhead, this is kind of like a stick-shaped deal that gets into little crevices and, also, because it’s a line of water flow instead of a ring, like for humans, you can rinse off near their earlobes and eyes without splashing them. The water pressure is awesome, and the soap washed away so easily. My biggest dog is a 45-pound cockapoo with a LOT of freaking hair. This showerhead made my life much easier." —MangoMood

    Get it from Amazon for $39.99.

    19. A doggie raincoat because your little prince/princess is NOT one for walks when it's raining but you're also not going to risk them doing their business on your living room rug... This will also help prevent dreaded wet dog smell which is impossible to get out of fabric surfaces like your couch!!!

    Promising review: "Love these raincoats. Ordered three altogether. They are tough, cute, and keep my dogs dry. I have purchased other flimsy raincoats that did not keep my dogs dry. I am extremely pleased with these. The little hoods are cute too. The purpose of the raincoats are so that I only have to dry off their feet when they return from their walk. These sturdy little coats are great. My furry kids seem to like them, and they stay in place without slipping and sliding. Fantastic price for great product. Awesome! :-)" —Barbara N.

    Get it from Amazon for $12+ (available in sizes XS–2XL).

    20. A grooming glove so you can give your pets all the love they desire while covertly brushing away mats and tangles, too. Use it on wet or dry fur (it's great in the bath) and on your feline friends as well.

    Promising review: "This is my second glove, my first one lasted 8 years until the nubs finally wore down. My cat is VERY fluffy! Our routine is to brush before breakfast. My cat loves it. No matter if your hand is small or large, the glove has good Velcro to keep it on." —Carol

    Get it from Amazon for $6.99.

    21. And an allergy supplement soft chew with colostrum, apple cider vinegar, salmon oil, astragalus root, and probiotics which can help boost your bebe's immune system and help them maintain normal histamine levels in order to stave off seasonal allergies. And the fact that it's in treat form? Everyone wins!

    Promising review: "I took a little break when we moved and did not give our 13-year-old pup her immune bites for a month. We immediately noticed her scratching and biting her paws again. My husband and I left for a six-week camping trip and had Amazon deliver a jar at our first stop. Immediate relief for Mazie! Believe me when I say… this product is a game changer for her. She really doesn’t scratch at all when I give her one every day. Lesson learned!" —Jodi Lewis
