1. A popular super durable "Duckworth" plush dog toy that has over 16,000 five-star ratings from people whose dogs go absolutely wild for this lil' friend. Your doggo will adore this cute duck and probably cuddle with it non-stop, plus reviewers say it doesn't get torn up as easily as other dog toys.
Promising review: "My 18-month-old Labrador has quite a collection of these ducks. He has loved them ever since he was 10 weeks old. It’s the toy he goes to sleep with and the toy I take with him when I need to board him. They do well in the washing machine and I hang them to dry." —KnottaTechie
Price: $7.24
2. A very helpful Furbo dog camera so you can keep an eye on your pup when you're not home. It also has a 360-degree wide-angle view, treat tossing capabilities, color night vision, two-way audio, and barking alerts.
Promising review: "We travel a lot and this has been such a great tool to be able to see my dog and give her treats while we are gone. Our dog loves hearing the squeaky sound it makes because she knows what is coming her way. The Mother Hubbard small reward treats fit perfectly and my dog loves them. Highly recommend this product!" —BurgessColorado
Price: $210
3. A bestselling Outward Hound "Fun Feeder Slo Bowl" if your pup absolutely inhales their food and is immediately begging for more. Plus, it'll help with better digestion and may even stop any upchucking from happening.
Promising review: "Our German shorthaired pointer eats her food way too fast. These bowls fix that. She’s a deep-chested dog and I’ve always been worried about bloat. These bowls really slow them down eating. The bowls don’t slide or move; they stay in place and that’s wonderful. They aren’t the easiest to clean as you can tell they have a lot of crevices but that’s fine. I will always buy these. We own six of these bowls so we have a set to take on vacation and I always have a brand new set sitting around just in case something happens to the current set we’re using. If you have a deep chested dog, you should consider these bowls. Our English springer spaniel uses one too. Even though he’s not a huge risk for bloat, it slows him down and I like my dogs having matching bowls." —Scott Hanback
Price: $8.08+ (available in three sizes and eight colors)
4. An anxiety-reducing Snuggle Puppy stuffed toy with a heating pad and a life-like, battery-operated heart beat sound if your pooch gets anxious traveling, crate training, during fireworks, or if there is a thunder storm.
Promising review: "I was desperate to get my puppy to sleep and stop barking in her crate. She is 12-weeks-old. OMG last night not one peep, not one whine, and definitely no barking ALL night! She was quiet as I closed the door and walked away and that hasn't happened in the 10 days we have had her." —Cindy Mosher
Price: $39.95+ (available in six colors)
5. A helpful "Did you feed the dog?" mountable reminder device so you never EVER have an excuse for forgetting to feed your sweet little fur baby (or, more likely, if your pup tricks everyone into thinking they haven't eaten yet).
BTW, it also comes in a "Did you medicate the dog?" option.
Promising review: "My poor dog is no longer being fed 3–4 times a day...and she's mad. We're a busy household – two working parents with three teenagers. Sometimes nobody knew if the dog had been fed or not...and so they'd feed her...again! The little rascal was happily putting on the extra pounds, until we finally noticed she wasn't jumping with her usual springy-ness onto the bed. Now, this checklist has us all in sync. It's so easy to use. Nobody has to wonder any more. It's so easy to check as we're walking past the fridge either coming or going to wherever life takes us. And our little pooch is getting back to her former healthy weight again. Highly recommend if you're a busy family like us!" —Genevieve W.
Price: $11.95 (available in two colors)
6. A beloved Outward Hound "Hide a Squirrel" plush puzzle if you need to keep your dog busy for awhile. This is also a great idea to bring on long road trips if your pup gets restless or bored easily (LOL I need one of these, too).
Promising review: "This toy is the absolute best. My dog loves pulling all the squirrels out of the log and then running around with the squirrels, squeaking up a storm! He'll bring a squirrel to you to squeak and throw, though he's generally not interested in fetch. He'll bring them right back! If you want pure dog joy grab a handful of squirrels and squeak them as you throw them in the air. Total chaos and so much fun. We do keep them hidden away so he doesn't destroy them, because he absolutely would destroy them if we let him. He knows where they're hidden and begs for them!" —Sarah
Price: $10+ (available in four sizes)
7. An ingenious Chuckit! dog toy created with a durable, multi-layer chenille fabric that'll let your dog play fetch indoors since it's soft, meaning it won't be a hazard to any breakables. It's also quiet, so you won't have to listen to hours of shrill squeaks.
Promising review: "Love this ball for my dog! It's the perfect size for him to play with and not roll under the couch, which makes me super happy! He loves tennis balls too, but those are small, and go under the sofa, and he ends up barking at it until I retrieve it for him. This ball stays in areas he can reach! It's also nice and soft so it doesn't make too much noise when it's being tossed around!" —kgirl
Price: $10.95
8. A spray bottle of this stain and odor remover so helpful if your home is starting to smell after so many accidents. My dog has a health condition that makes her pee all the time, and this spray has been a total game-changer for when she has accidents inside.
9. A helpful ChomChom pet hair remover boasting over 97,000 five-star ratings for the person who has an especially hairy dog who they love more than anything (but they're not a huge fan of going through lint rollers like they're goin' outta style).
Promising review: "My biggest pet peeve is dog hair. I love my two dogs, but constantly seeing black dog hair everywhere was driving me crazy. I was shocked with how quickly it picked up the dog fur and the amount of hair that it got. I’ve used it on my silky comforter, furniture, blankets, and even a rug. Works amazingly on everything. In fact, I vacuumed my rug and the used the hair remover and it picked up another handful of dog fur. Highly recommend this product." —Barb
Price: $24.99
10. A reversible furniture cover you can throw in the washing machine if you've accepted the fact that your pet will always sit on the couch, no matter what. (It's just something you need to come to terms with.)
11. A pet gate to keep your pups out of areas you don't want them in. There is this one room in my parents house all the dogs love to pee in for some reason (not sure why, but maybe I should try it out?) and using this gate makes sure they can't get in there and have a pee-palooza whenever they like.
Promising review: "This is a great product. Installed in a space between my kitchen and dining room to prevent my dogs from going in that area as I have a rug there and try to prevent dog fur collecting on there. It was easy to install as the instructions were very clear. The package did come a little damaged, hence the four stars, but the product itself wasn't damaged." —anonymous
Price: $36.99
12. A low-noise pet grooming kit and vacuum so you can literally vacuum the hair directly off your pup rather than waiting to clean it up after shedding. It also comes with hair-trimming tools, brushes, and nail clippers. Basically, it's a professional pet salon at home because your furry friend deserves ~luxury.~
13. A hair-removing glove for the pet who absolutely hates getting brushed but loves getting belly rubs and pets. You get rid of future shedding and they get a full body massage. Win-win!
14. Or a grooming rake that'll help detangle your pup's fur without hurting them, because grooming doesn't need to be a painful experience for you or the dog. It's also great for lightening up their undercoat, so they don't get overheated during the warmer months.
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 gets 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!" —Shippo
Price: $12.99
15. A robotic vacuum because sometimes there's just too much fur in your house than is humanly possible to clean up and robot reinforcements are needed. This little guy will quietly pick up fur, dirt, debris, and litter on your hard floors, so you can have one waking moment to yourself not worrying about the messes your pet makes.
Promising review: "So we have three cats and three large breed dogs. I was seven months pregnant with a 10-month old at home when I realized I had no energy trying to keep the floors clean vacuuming every day so my baby could crawl freely. A friend of mine got this vacuum and was really pleased with it so I decided to try it as well. Oh my god...I fell in love instantly!! We have uneven floors/drop steps and it gets around no problem. With all of our pets I choose to run it at night and sometimes once in the afternoon when the kids are napping. This thing is amazing at picking up everything. I really don't find it to be too loud and I don't mind the maintenance cleaning it requires from working in our house with all the pets. If you're on the fence on this purchase, just give it a try. You'll wonder why you ever lived without it before." —ECACLAN
Price: $199.99+ (available in two colors)
16. And a portable pet-wedge hair remover, ideal if you have your dog in the car with you a lot and are tired of your car basically just being a fur factory on wheels. Also awesome if you travel with your pet and want to keep your hotel or Airbnb a ~hair free~ environment.
Promising review: “Fantastic! I was able to pick up a large amount of cat hair from my cat's kitty condo without any trouble! Well worth the money as opposed to the disposable sticky pet/lint removers!" —Shannon Turner
Price: $21.99
17. A touchless stationary vacuum because, let's be honest, dust pans are kind of a scam and you can never actually sweep every last bit of pet hair and dirt into it. And just TRY walking to the trash can with a dust pan full of fur, it WILL fly off and you will have done all that work for NOTHING.
Promising review: "Amazing! I have three huskies — two are woolly coat and all three are shedding at the same time. My back is freaking killing me from bending over constantly, and good luck with fur making it to the garbage can without flying off and I don't care how careful you are. I LOVE THIS. Kicks a vacuum cleaner in the butt! It empties without a mess. No need to empty it outside either. I cannot believe the amount of fur and dirt this thing can handle. Everyone should have one. Everyone should buy one for an elderly family member to make their life easier. This thing is getting put to the test with my huskies. Anything that makes LIFE EASIER is worth the expense! If this breaks...I'm buying a new one." —Riverside Park Campground
Price: $199 (available in three colors)
18. A carrier backpack that can hold dogs weighing up to 25 pounds for when you wanna bring your furry best friend along for any hiking or backpacking adventures. Plus, it makes for an awesome view for any hikers behind you.
19. A three-pack of washable dog diapers if your canine bestie has trouble holding it sometimes. My 12-year-old Chiweenie struggles with accidents, and these have been super helpful (plus they're adorable). These are great if you have to leave your pup at home for a couple of hours. Here she is chillin' in her diaper with her Steven King novel, happy as can be.
20. A backseat extender bridge so your pup doesn't go flying into the front or get caught in between the seat cracks when you slam on the brakes. It also allows more room for them to sprawl out and ~relax.~
21. A pair of waterproof booties to keep their perfect paws out of harm's way. Dirt, gravel, rain, and ice have nothing on these bad boys. Plus, they'll help your puppy not track in any mud from outside.
22. An anxiety jacket designed for any dog who gets a little anxious occasionally (or all the time). It applies gentle, comforting pressure, acting like a cozy hug for your furry friend to keep them calm if they get freaked out by fireworks, planes, car rides, or the general mayhem that is reality. (Please let me know where I can get one of these for humans.)
23. A pack of chicken-flavored Pill Pockets, so getting your dog to take their meds can be a breeze. I use these for my dog, Molly, and they're like her favorite food.
24. A pair of UV dog goggles to protect your pup's eyes while they're sticking their head out the window or joining you in a sunbathing session.
25. A pack of extra thick poop bags because you NEVER want to be the person who doesn't clean up after your dog. I've been using these ones for years, and they do the trick.
26. A paw soother stick to keep your dog's hands and feet comfortable while the two of you are out and about. This is great for helping with dryness and minor scrapes, whether you're hiking a trail, urban exploring, or just walking around the block.
27. And finally, a TubShroom so you don't have to worry about cleaning out all the pet fur from your drain after bath time. Also, if you shed like your furry friend does, it works on human hair, too!
