2. A towered trackball toy to activate a cat's natural hunting instincts, which means they'll stop pouncing on random items around the house and focus on playing with this toy instead.

12. A flying squirrel toy that your dog will love chasing as it floats through the air. It also glows in the dark and can float, so this might just become your dog's go-to toy for any sort of outing — whether it's day or night, on dry land, or out in the water.
13. An interactive toy to keep small pets like rabbits and chinchillas occupied while they search for treats hidden in the toy.

22. A dog treat dispensing toy to mentally stimulate any dog who loves both playtime and treats. Even the most rambunctious dogs will slow down to try and get a treat out of this.

26. A peanut butter-flavored chew toy made to promote good dog dental health thanks to the ridges and nubs that remove plaque and tartar as they chomp away.
27. A pack of matatabi chew sticks if your cat is constantly scratching up your furniture and you're looking for an outlet for all their energy. Matatabi is a plant native to Japan and is actually an alternative to catnip, so if your cat is stubborn and shows no interest in catnip, this might finally be the way to distract them from clawing away at every surface of your house.
28. A squeaky plush "White Paw" dog toy so your pup can have their own version of your favorite hard seltzer drink.

30. A large plush toy shaped like a duck about to become your dog's favorite thing in the world (besides you, of course). They'll fall in love with the squeaker, how huggable it is, and how it stays together even through endless hours of rough play with sharp chompers.
31. A rotating sisal scratcher ball if scratching posts just aren't interactive enough for your highly intelligent kitty. They'll love pawing away at this and will get a kick out of how much it spins!
32. Catnip disguised as tortellini, because humans shouldn't be the only ones who get to experience the joy of pasta.
33. And finally, a rope toy for the pups who don't care about fancy stuff and just want to gnaw on some good old-fashioned rope.
