    25 Clever Products From PetSmart That Will Help Solve Small But Everyday Problems

    Say goodbye to stinky litter boxes, endless shedding, roughed-up paws, and more annoying problems thanks to these genius products.

    1. A pair of waterproof rubber booties to protect your dog's paws from rough terrain, hot pavement, or salt on the ground during winter.

    2. A self-cleaning litter box so you don't have to bend down and scoop up everything your cat leaves behind. It'll also keep the room you have the litter box in smelling so much nicer.

    3. A slow-feeder dog bowl that slows down your dog's feeding time so they don't scarf down their food in one minute flat and end up with an upset tummy. Your dog can either use this on its own or you can place it inside the dog bowl they already use.

    4. Or a slow-feeder licking mat — smear some peanut butter on this to cleverly distract and calm your dog as you groom them, trim their nails, or bathe them. It's also a great way to slow down cats when they eat their wet food.
