1. A grooming rake that'll help loosen tangles and lighten your pup's undercoat — without the yelps.
Promising reviews: "It really gets out the hair from the undercoat of my Aussie without pulling and hurting her. It came highly recommended by my groomer. It really helps with shedding, pulls that undercoat out, and keeps my old girl cool in the Florida heat." —R. Smith
"This works amazing. I am a groomer and this works really well for the clients who have dogs with a lot of undercoat that’s shedding. I may get a second one for home use. And you can’t beat the price!" —Whitney
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
2. A reusable roller dog hair remover might have you toss your old sticky roller after you see how much fur this reusable one (it has a sturdy brush system) picks up off your beloved couch that both you and your dog basically live on.
Promising review: "I'm a pet groomer and constantly have hair on my clothes and car. This product works very well to remove hair and is easy to clean!" —Jessica Pittman
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
3. An allergy supplement that reviewers say has helped dogs will all sorts of skin sensitivities scratch and shed less. They have a dose of probiotics and other nutrients said to help improve immune function, aid digestion, promote healthy skin, and add shine to a dog's coat.
Promising review: "Started using this product at the recommendation of our groomer to help with our cocker spaniel’s licking tendency. It seems to be helping so far." —Donna Whittemore
Get them from Amazon for $29.97 (or Subscribe & Save for $28.47/month).
4. An oatmeal paw butter that'll soothe cracked and dry paws, whether those poor paws belong to a dog or cat. (Psst, it'd probably be good to buy this before winter!)
Promising review: "As a dog groomer I am constantly using this on cracked paws, noses, and tails. Love the product and great price." —Hailey R
Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (or Subscribe & Save for $9.49/month).
5. A detangling shampoo that'll likely have you filming a slo-mo video for your grid of your dog shaking his glossy, NOT tangly ears.
Promising review: "I have been a professional dog groomer for over 35 years and this stuff does what it says it will. Even on the most coarse coats it turns it into a thing of beauty; any mats almost fall out. This is a whole new world for me. Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks? This old dog just learned one." —sandra k. steele
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (or Subscribe & Save for $14.38/three months).
6. A nail grinder that, according to reviewers, will be a godsend for pets who hate or can't get to the groomer but are quite good at growing talons.
Promising review: "I've got one of those dogs who doesn't like his nails touched and he's got a devoted owner who tried clipping his nails and cut one too short so that was traumatic for both of us! My dog gets horribly car sick and taking him anywhere in the car creates so much angst, but he has to have those nails trimmed. The groomer suggested this product which she actually has and uses on her own dogs and urged me to buy it and give it a try. I ordered it and got it and then was scared to use it on him! But the company follow up provided me with some helpful suggestions and a great amount of encouragement and there is a very happy ending to this story! So I absolutely recommend it." —jazziejay5
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in six colors).
7. Or nail clippers for impatient pets who won't sit still long enough to let you go at them with a nail grinder.
Promising review: "For whatever reason I didn't know trimmers came in sizes. I have a big boy, about 90 lbs. His nails were so hard to cut and I would usually split them. Talked to a groomer and she suggested these. What a big difference! My big boy is very pleased with his nails LOL. Nothing split and quick, clean cut. Ease to hold as well. Very pleased." —Susan E. Snyder
Get them from Amazon for $12.85
8. A tearstain remover to brighten your dog's coat by lightening those dark marks around their eyes. It will be especially helpful for dogs with lighter coats.
Promising review: "I have a Maltese who had horrible red tearstaining. My groomer recommended this product and it’s amazing!! I wash her eyes every night with a child's small soft toothbrush and a small amount of this wash and in the morning I clean her eyes with Henry Schein tearstain remover on a cotton pad and her little eyes are white as snow. It’s soap free and has never irritated her eyes... Love it!!" –Stacey
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (or Subscribe & Save for $11.69/three months; available in three sizes).
9. A pet odor-focused candle or room spray that won't smell like an odor-eliminating candle. I swear! They cover up eau de dog without giving you a headache.
In case these Vanna White-like animals aren't convincing enough, check out my full review of One Fur All Pet House candles. (My personal fave is the lavender green tea!)
Promising review: "My groomer stocks these but is almost out of fragrances. I've tried every candle available but always had problems with too strong a perfume and sooty residue. The Pet House choices are great, they last a long time, and PRODUCE NO SOOT!!! I now use them not just when my labs get a bit gamey but also when I cook fish, my husband has a cigar on the nearby porch, or when I just want to freshen the house. They actually remove odors!. Glad they are available on Amazon Prime!" —JRoos
Get them from Amazon: candle for $22.99 (34 scents) and room spray for $9.99 (five scents)
10. A waterless cat bath because your precious angel is really starting to stink, but that isn't something you have to live with! I mean... have you ever tried to give a cat an *actual* bath?
Promising review: "I used to be a dog groomer. This will forever be my favorite. Never leaves them greasy, they love the smell, and it's not toxic so when them lick themselves it's safe." —Destiny
Get it from Amazon for $9.21 (or Subscribe & Save for $8.75/month).
11. An interactive cat toy that'll have your furry family member having a blast. If only you'd known years ago...
Promising review: "It's amazing for the price; cats loved it at first but tired of it fairly soon. I've put it away and will 'spring' it on them again. Our cat groomer has one and seems to manipulate it better than me, so perhaps there's some technique involved. At any rate you won't be sorry; the price is very right for this product." —Rick
Get it from Amazon for $3.53.
12. Or some dental health powder you can sprinkle on your pet's food for cleaner teeth and fresher breath.
Promising review: "My vet kept advising that my dog needed his teeth cleaned but he would have had to be put under anesthesia to do so. My daughter is a dog groomer and someone told her about this product. We tried it and the next time at the vet, they didn't say a word, just made a notation that his teeth could use cleaning. We hadn't been using the product for long at that time. We've continued to use it and his teeth look great. My daughter is now advising her clients to try this when they bring the subject up." —AssateagueMist
Get it from Amazon for $20.91 (or Subscribe & Save for $19.86/month).
13. A hair-removing glove for pets who KNOW what you're doing when you pull out a regular brush. They'll think they're getting a total treat but I'll keep our evil secret.
Promising review: "I have a Great Pyrenees. This was recommended by my groomer to help reduce all loose hair I sweep up daily. It is good for the loose top coat hair" —Cindy Murphree
Get it from Amazon for $7.99.
14. A year-round paw protection cream chock full with vitamin E to keep those paws protected against too-hot sidewalks and sand in the summer and then against ice and salt in the winter...
Promising review: "We got this at the recommendation of our groomer. Our dog is very short hair, but gets scratches and bites on herself a lot. She's a nervous little dog. This has been very soothing and has helped heal her skin. It's a little hard at first, but warms up and is easy to get out. I only need a little bit to form a film on her skin. Smells a little minty or herbally, but it doesn't linger, and the dog doesn't seem to mind. She loves having me put it on, and it has become a bonding time for us." —Jada
Get it from Amazon for $15.99.
15. A doggie blow-dryer with a flexible hose and two heating settings to help transform your dog from wet mess to runway ready.
Promising review: "My daughter is a professional groomer and she absolutely loves this dryer. Uses at work daily. It's as good as a $300 one she was using before." —Nancys notes
Get it from Amazon for $79.50 (available in two colors).
16. A scratchy lil' tool that'll FINALLY get all the pet hair off your fabric surfaces both inside your house and car. You'll wonder how you lived without up until now.
17. A broom for pet hair to unearth all that fur stuck in your area rug you've just learned to live with by now. It also works on wood and linoleum. And the handle extends from 36 to 60 inches!
Promising review: "I am a dog groomer who has to clean up a lot of hair. I absolutely love this product, it makes clean up a breeze. Hair doesn’t stick to bristles like a traditional broom it picks up dust and dirt too. When the floor is wet, just use the squeegee side of broom." —Kim Atwood
Get it from Amazon for $16.99.
Check out my colleague Emma Lord's Evrilholder FURemover broom review for more satisfying before and after photos!
18. A handy TubShroom to take on the hard task of helping clean out your tub after bathtime. It works well for human *and* pet hair, just so you know.
19. A pack of grooming wipes perfect for in between grooming appointments or as an alternative to professional grooming if you can't get your dog there for health or financial reasons.
Promising review: "Love these wipes for our Pomeranian. We use them to wipe our dog down after his play dates and also clean his paws off after returning from our walks. Doesn’t really have a strong scent, so it doesn’t linger on our dog. The wipes are sturdy and big enough for our needs. These were recommended by our groomer and we are pleased with the product." —Average Amazon Customer
Get them from Amazon for $12.99 (or Subscribe & Save for $12.34/two months; available in two scents).
20. A toothpaste that'll help reduce tartar and plaque formation — and maybe even improve your dog's dental sitch enough so you can skip a professional pricey cleaning where they have to put your dog under anesthesia.
Promising review: "Love this product. We use it in our grooming salon all the time. The dogs like it a lot too, because of the flavor! They think it is a treat!" —Adriana Welckle
