1. A basic hoodie for those certain that — in another life — your four-legged friend was definitely a tech bro à la the Silicon Valley variety.
Promising review: "Bought the XXL for my 110-pound Mastiff Lab mix. She doesn't like the cold, and we live in the Northeast. She loves it. I was afraid she was getting too warm so I took it off, and she kept bringing it back to me to put back on. It's a little snug in her front, she has the bull legs, but fits perfectly everywhere else. We just played ball and she ran like normal, so obviously not too tight. Thick and soft, and the pockets on her butt are just too cute. Going potty isn't an issue, either. Guess I'll need one more so I can switch them out on laundry day." —Jen Aspinall
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXL and in 11 colors).
2. A laptop-shaped scratcher if the last few years of WFH life have led your cats to believe that they *too* have a 9 to 5. It's this or have them all piled on top of you, and that makes it quite hard to type...
Promising reviews: "Kevin loves that it is sturdy, practical, and has an endless battery life. 5 out 5 paws 🐾" —Katie
"Rocket is a very important business man and needed something portable to send out his weekly meeting notes. This was perfect for his needs and I even hear him late at night typing up a storm. 10/10." —Danielle
Get it from Amazon for $26.98.
3. An Alexa-enabled, treat-tossing Furbo so you can show your baby a lil' love even if you aren't home. The cam is also equipped with a barking sensor — it'll send you a notification every time your bb acts up — and two-way audio so you can calm them down.
Promising review: "Don't hesitate! BUY IT!! We got a puppy like everyone else during the pandemic. Then my option for telecommuting was taken away! I have been driving 15 minutes each way to go home for lunch to check on our now 6-month-old puppy. She is a good girl but acts more like a cat, climbing and jumping on all the furniture. Now that the Furbo is installed, (which took seconds!) I can catch her and tell her to get down. She is getting used to me talking to her. Right now it scares her, as do the treats, but she will get the hang of it quickly. On the days I can't come home for lunch it is so comforting to be able to check on her. It's well worth the money for the peace of mind! I did my research, too, don't bother with the copy cats — BUY THE ORIGINAL!!!!!" —Todd Dixon
Get it from Amazon for $145+ (available in various styles).
4. A pair of Chuckit! balls — just be warned that your baby WILL manipulate into playing with them 24/7 as they'll pull out the puppy eyes on you.
Promising review: "My dog's favorite ball and possibly his favorite toy of all. He is a boxer mix, about 55 pounds, and an aggressive chewer. He can quickly shred most toys and bones. These balls hold up well — after a few months of use, he was able to tear a few small pieces off of the first one I bought him, but it was still functional. This ball bounces very well, better than a tennis ball, although slightly smaller in diameter. This size is good for him, as he can carry it around, slam dunk it on the floor, toss it up and catch it himself, and even toss it to me. The ball is very lively and makes for some good play, even indoors if you have the room." —Dan R.
Get them from Amazon for $4.69+ (available in five sizes and packs of one, two, four, or eight).
5. A fuzzy, purring cat toy that helps calm kitties with anxiety. If your pandemic babe simply can't be separated from you or their siblings for any period of time, this is certainly worth a shot.
The toy purrs for a solid two minutes when squeezed or cuddled so your cat can activate it on their own.
Promising review: "My shelter kitten ignored this at first, but I still put it in his bed every night and now he doesn't want to sleep without it. If I forget to activate it, he is restless until I do. He had to stay at the vet's briefly, and I took his purr buddy with him. The staff at the vet's all wanted to know where I got it because the clinic cats would crowd around my baby's cage wanting to see what he had. It was quite a hit. It's also very soft, and so far, the batteries have lasted several months." —NatureGirl
Get it from Amazon for $10.99.
6. A sofa-shaped cat scratcher your kitty baby can lounge on like they're Rose (aka Kate Winslet) inTitanic.
PS: Little Scratchers is a small biz!
Promising review: "I’m not joking. As soon as I opened the box and put the cat scratcher couch out, my cat ran to it and didn’t leave it. It's been a week! Lol, he absolutely LOVES it! He lounges, plays, and scratches all day! I love how cute the couch is and how aesthetically pleasing it is compared to other cat scratchers out there, too!" —Rachel Nicole
Get it from Amazon for $42.95.
7. A plush toy with reinforced seams and chew-resistant lining if your pup loves to turn their toys into what I call "flat babies" — AKA stuffing-less skins. This should give even the most persistent nibblers a run for their money.
Promising review: "This is my dog's favorite toy — so much so that we’re on our like fifth or sixth one. It lasts and lasts, and that’s saying a lot since my dog is a German Shepherd. She tears arms and legs off other toys. She finds and kills the squeakers in all her toys in the first three minutes of getting a new one. But THIS chicken toy's squeakers last! Plus, there’s like five squeakers inside so if she happens to kill one, there are four left that work. The only reason we continue to buy new ones is because I can’t stand how dirty they get. Best dog toy!" —Jill Scarborough
Get it from Amazon for $9.39+ (available in four sizes and nine styles).
8. A bully stick holder so your pup can go ham on bully sticks without you worrying about them choking when they get it down to a nub. This smart accessory holds the stick tight — even when there's not much left — and it's lightweight, so they can carry it around the house with no problem.
There are several sizes to choose from based on the width of the chew sticks you give your pet: small (for treats 1/2 inch–3/4 inches), medium (5/8 inches–7/8 inches), and large (3/4 inches–1 1/8 inches).
Promising review: "We recently got a new puppy who loves to chew on everything. 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 saw 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. These are the greatest inventions ever! They are sturdy and grip the stick like nobody's business. If you give your dog any kind of chew stick, I cannot recommend these enough." —Mikara
Get it from Amazon for $16.95+.
9. A zebra-print activity mat that looks exactly like a baby play mat and that just tickles me pink. If your kitties could use some tummy time, the attached hanging toys will keep them entertained.
Promising review: "My cat simply loves this! He dives right into it, sometimes even doing somersaults into it, and it has really held up nicely! He's 15 pounds, so he's not small, and it bounces right back into place after he pounces on it. It moves with him and has provided hours of entertainment for him and for me! Highly recommend for active cats." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $21.27+ (available in two styles).
10. An adorable Squishmallow pet bed so they can stop sleeping on — and deflating — your actual Squishmallows.
Promising review: "This is my first and only Squishmallow product and honestly I love it! It is as soft as expected from the brand, but also I'm very impressed with how sturdy the bottom is. Most of the bottom of my dogs's beds are made of fabric, but the bottom of this bed is pretty firm and tough. I'm no dog-bed expert but from a loving dog-parent, I'm very satisfied." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in three sizes and in frog, octopus, or shark).
11. A teeny-tiny ball pit fit for ferrets, mice, hedgehogs, and even parrots, I suppose. It comes with 35 balls and a tunnel, and the fabric is easy to clean so if your pet gets so dang excited that they have an accident, it's no biggie.
Promising review: "My two ferrets absolutely love this ball pit and play in it for hours. I love that I can loop it around a table leg since my little Rosie loves to jump out of it!" —FerretParent2
Get it from Chewy for $23.48 (originally $36.99).
12. A smart pet sofa that comes in nine colors so you can buy one that's a mini version of yours! Then, you can both lounge and take up as much space as you like while you binge your latest Netflix or Hulu obsession. (My cats are weirdly obsessed with Survivor and respond to Jeff Probst's voice lol.)
Promising review: "So we bought one for the living room and we loved it so much, we purchased a second one for our home office, since they love spending time with their dad when he’s working from home!! If you are thinking about getting a cute sofa…just order this one!!" —Jesie Fernandez
Get it from Amazon for $121.41 (available in nine colors).
13. A Gumby plushie if your pup LOVES a toy with a squeaker and won't know peace until they've found a way to rip it out.
Promising review: "Longest lasting toy and most enjoyable for my dog. I have a puppy (an 8-month-old Pitbull/Lab mix) who loves to tear up anything that squeaks or anything that’s plush, and time after time I’ve had to continuously toss and buy toys. This toy has been his favorite and has lasted through his teething phase as well as his adult teeth coming in (about 3 months). The squeaker is still intact which is shocking to me, but he's also dragged it through mud, poop, water, you name it! Overall this was a great purchase for my pup." —Angie
Get it from Amazon for $3.70.
14. A pack of squeezable treats that are basically Gogurts — just in feline-approved flavors like tuna and chicken.
Tbh I saw these on TikTok and bought them immediately. My cats LOVE them and immediately ambush me whenever I pull them out of the cabinet. I like that they don't have any grains, preservatives, or artificial flavors or colors. They also provide extra hydration which is great for cats who don't drink a whole lot of water.
Promising review: "Now I haven't tasted it myself but from my cat's reaction, she loves it. She does not mind her manners at all when she sees the tube come out. I think she would rip my arm off the get to it if she could. She enjoys all the flavors. I started off letting her lick it from the tube but she got a bit messy slobbering all over it and me so now I squeeze some on a little plate and let her go to town. I sometimes use it to get her to eat her food but she is clever. She licks it off the food and leaves the apparently nasty food there. Anyway, I recommend them. My cat can be picky but she loves — and that is not a strong enough word — these." —Tracy Brethorst
Get a pack of 12 from Amazon for $12.21.
15. A fence bubble for pupperonis (or goats, based on the reviewer pic below!) who're just as nosy as their parents. Drama going down between the neighborhood kids?? Your doggos will be the first to know.
Promising review: "My dogs love their window! They are 20+ pounds each and can both get their heads into the window to see what is going on in the front yard. It only took my husband and I a few minutes to install. The acrylic dome is thick and is easy to wipe clean. It’s also made in the USA!" —Shopping Adict
Get a two-pack from Amazon for $22.55.
16. An outdoor play tent so your babies can get some fresh air instead of just staring longingly out the window. Not only is it the safest way to let them investigate their surroundings, but it's pretty damn cute, too.
You can also fill it with their blankets, beds, and toys to really make it fun and cozy while they take in the fresh air. It comes with an attachable tunnel, as pictured on the right above.
Get a closer look at it on TikTok!
Promising review: "For you urbanites, this cat tent will bring years of great mirth and joy to your beloved feline friend! This cat tent allows me to safely stimulate the psyche and spirit of my little family member. Birds have even landed on the tent and rabbits have grazed around it, and they are safe from her as well. A vet even walked past and commented, 'I wish everyone did this for their cat!'" —Yvonne DeMarino
Get it from Amazon for $84.75 (also available in a "tower" style, and the tent and tunnel are available individually).
17. A three-tier cat toy with polka-dot balls they can bat at. One of my cats puts her arms on both sides and essentially plays a modified version of tetherball just with herself.
Both of my cats love this but one, in particular, just can't get enough of this thing — especially in the middle of the night. More than once, I've woken up to her *punching* it and sliding it across the living room floor. She also loves to flip it over so it stands on the smallest tier and idk why but sure??
Promising review: "My cat's favorite toy even after two years of playing with it... and good stress relief, too!! Everyone who has a kitty they love to spoil knows after several tries with expensive toys, the most inexpensive are the ones the kitties truly enjoy. My kitty has been consistently playing with this one since he was a kitten, while his expensive robotic toys have either broken or are gathering dust in his toy box. No matter how much rough housing goes on, this toy takes a lickin' and keeps on ticking. Well worth $10!!" —Laurie D. Savoie
Get it from Amazon for $9.39+ (available in five sizes).
18. A tough-as-nails cactus toy for superrrrr chewers who rip apart anything you put in front of them. With durable rubber bristles, this also doubles as a doggie toothbrush so — unbeknownst to them — it'll help keep their teeth and gums in tip-top shape.
Promising review: "Okay, so I never leave reviews, but this toy is the best thing I have ever bought for my Pit. He usually tears apart Kongs the day of, and this thing has been around SIX MONTHS, and he’s barely done any damage. It’s his favorite toy and is always his first pick in his toy basket. 11/10." —Hunter Hicks
Get it from Amazon for $8.49+ (available in four sizes and two colors).
19. An organic cat grass growing kit that will add some additional greenery to your house and keep your kitties from eating your actual houseplants.
The Cat Ladies is a family-owned, Southern California-based small business founded in 2015 by a mother-daughter duo who wanted to create unique, organic, nontoxic products for other passionate cat owners.
Promising review: "I have been a customer for about a year now, and ever since the first time when we gave her gentle pets while she ate the grass, she’s now developed a whole daily routine! She meows at us every morning, demanding that we come and sit with her and pet her while she munches happily on the grass. It’s become such an important part of her daily routine that we bought two of the planters so that she can always have fresh grass." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $28.90 (available in four colors).
20. 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 is 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 a great product. Awesome! :-)" —Barbara N.
Get it from Amazon for $13.60+ (available in sizes XS–2XL).
21. A kitty hammock that won't interrupt the flow of your carefully curated balcony or patio, but will give your feline a comfy space to stretch out.
Promising review: "I am obsessed with how cute this looks. Our cats are always tanning on the balcony and now they have a place to lie. They took to it right away. It was really easy to put together and the quality of the wood and materials seems great." —jalysza
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in three colors and with or without the palm tree scratcher).
22. A banana-shaped bed for the pet who loves "hiding" under blankets and in cardboard boxes. The top flap — or, if we're talking anatomically, the peel — offers them a private and enclosed space to nap.
Promising review: "My friend really loves his new bed...super cute!! Buy one now!!!!" —Stacy Lynn
Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in three sizes).
23. A curved shower attachment that shoots out water in a narrow, contoured spray so you can really get into your bebes' thick coats and effectively wash away the goose poop they had so much fun rolling around in when you let them outside earlier. 🙃
Promising review: "So I was skeptical because I thought, 'how is this different or better than my current pullout shower head?' Well, I dunno how to explain it, but this thing was a HUGE lifesaver when washing my dogs. Unlike a regular round shower head, 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 shower head made my life much easier." —MangoMood
Get it from Amazon for $39.99.
24. A completely unnecessary but oh-so-fun sling so you can carry your kitten around like the needy bebe they are.
Promising review: "I initially bought this for my Pomeranian, and yes I do use it for him since he prefers to be carried in crowded/noisy places (AKA pet stores), however... Just for fun I decided to see if one of my cats would get in it. To my surprise, one of them LOVES it. Whenever my Pom and cat see me pick up the sling, they both run to get put in it. I don't actually take my cat anywhere with it (other than out to the mailbox), but he loves hanging out in there while I do stuff around the house. The sling does a good job of supporting their weight without putting a strain on my back. Excellent value for the money!" —mandi s.
Get it from Amazon for $19.95+ (available in four reversible colors).
25. A rhinestone-studded tracksuit for those days when they wanna take it back to the early aughts and go for a Paris Hilton/Nicole Richie The Simple Life look.
Promising review: "My puppy looks so perfect in her velour jumpsuit. She is 3 pounds and the XS fits her perfectly with room to grow. Now she can match her mommy." —Rana Ayvez
Get it from Amazon for $15.19+ (available in sizes XS–XL and in two colors).
26. A trusty box of Greenies in oven-roasted chicken flavor, because if there's one thing your cat loves more than endless pets, it's the sweet, sweet sound of a shaken treat container.
Promising review: "First of all, I am not a cat, nor have I eaten these myself. So, you'll have to take this review from the point of view of a person who feeds them to three cats. Based on no scientific evidence, I'm concluding that these are quite possibly the most delicious cat treat in existence. They quite literally lose their minds when it's treat time. My cats have had the chicken, catnip, and salmon flavors and it seems the most preferred by everybody is salmon. These treats were specifically recommend by my big boy Catto's veterinarian to help with his dental care. They seem reasonably good quality and are well-fortified with vitamins and minerals." —Christopher Lang
Get them from Amazon for $6.48+ (available in six sizes and five flavors).
27. A flower-shaped recovery cone that is straight-up Elizabethan. 😂 Whether your baby is recovering from a spay/neuter surgery or you're just trying to get them to stop licking their hot spots, this plush, waterproof number will do the trick.
Promising review: "Two of my cats needed collars for a couple of days, these were definitely more comfortable than traditional collars. Within a couple of hours, they were able to get around perfectly, even jumping up on top of the cabinets as usual. They even seemed to like having a little pillow with them at all times. My cats weigh around 15–20 pounds and the large fit them perfectly. The collars did get a little roughed up from being scratched and licked, but they never got any holes, and after properly fitting them, they never came off. And of course, they’re really adorable!" —Brittney Ann
Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in five colors).
28. A Lambchop plushie for millennial pet parents who buy their baby toys based on their own nostalgia. (Guilty. 🙋♀️)
Promising review: "This was our mixed Lab breed’s first toy and it is still her favorite. I’ll be buying a new one soon. While she did manage to pop one or two of the squeakers, she hasn’t managed to chew them out of the body. She still carries it around and squeaks the squeakers that are left. It will be hard to get her to let go of this one for a new one. It’s also cute cause her name is Cami and she is always with her lamb-y." —Delilah Lute
Get it from Amazon for $3.99+ (available in various styles, sizes, and multi-packs).
29. And a transparent bird feeder that'll bring birds right to your window so your babies can get a good look. Chances are they'll make those chirping and chattering noises you loves so much, too, so it's just as entertaining for you.
The feed tray slides out, making it easy to refill and clean, and there's a divider so you can use two different types of feed at once to attract different varieties of birds! Some reviewers even decorated their birdhouses with little frills like moss, flowers, and twine, so you can give it as much flair as you like!
Note: If you find that your pets are scaring the birds away, one reviewer recommends applying reflective adhesive so the birds can't see in but your fur babes can see the full show.
Promising review: "This feeder sticks really well on the window. It even holds the plump squirrels who sneak into it. 😅 It was super easy to apply and adjust. Our cats absolutely love the close up action they get since we purchased reflective adhesive and put it on the inside of our window. Now the birds have no idea they’re even there and the cats are in disbelief they get to sit that close to the birds. Overall a great purchase, my family loves it!" —SRowe
Get it from Amazon for $32.90.
