1. A collapsible pool because, yes, Buddy and Bella deserve to splash around in the water after a long day lazing in the sun. Ah, summer.
2. A pet water bottle so your best friend can stay hydrated while on the go. It's perfect for taking on long walks, and can be used as a bottle or as a detachable bowl.
3. A set of dog shoes because not only do they protect little feet from the harshness of the sidewalk, but they also look super cute. Whenever I see a doggo with shoes on it brightens my day...and don't get me started on dogs wearing rain boots. 🥺
4. A sliding glass pet door is a game-changer for renters. You can easily install it into any existing sliding doors and the slide-in lockable panel will help you control your pet's access.
5. A flea, tick, and mosquito spray so your pet will stay clear of any pesky bugs. The last thing you need are insects latching onto your doggo — we know there are enough hanging around backyards in the summer. Why are they so needy?
6. A cooling dog bed to keep your doggo from overheating in the summer weather. I don't know about you, but I want one of these for myself.
7. A back seat extender for those long road trips with your pup. The raised sides will make sure your doggo stays put and doesn't fall off the seat if you hit any bumps in the road.
8. Or a soft-sided and compact pet carrier for taking your small cats and dogs out and about to see the big wide world. It has mesh windows for ventilation and fits most under-seat dimensions for airlines if you're flying with your furry friend.
9. A three-wheel pet stroller so you can take your tiny pups or house cats on a walk around the park, without them *actually* doing any walking.
10. A cat harness and leash for taking your feline on a stroll. Cats deserve to go on walkies, too!
11. A Ring Stick Up camera for keeping an eye on your furry friends while you're not at home. This is especially useful if you've got a puppy or kitten as it'll give you extra peace of mind while they are settling in at their forever home.
12. A Paw Plunger paw cleaner because your pup loves to play outside — of course they're gonna get some muddy paws. Stop any dirty (but admittedly cute) paw prints on your floors by plunging their lil' feet into this plunger.
13. A paw protection cream to use year-round. It will guard against scorching hot sidewalks and sand in the summer, as well as ice and salt in the winter months. It'll keep paw pads really moisturized, too.
14. And you should also be protecting your pup with a fast-drying doggy sunscreen that's made with moisturizing aloe vera to soothe their skin as well. Simply spray or rub it on all of their exposed areas — not forgetting their snout and ears!

Promising review: "This was perfect for my 3-month-old Samoyed puppy on a hot summer day. He wears it through the day and it’s definitely helped him stay cool (even with all the fluff). We bought two — when one is on him, the other is in the freezer." —S

18. A fully-covered, elevated outdoor bed for relaxing and lounging after a long day of playing fetch and going on walkies. It's made of breathable mesh that provides a cool surface so the air will easily circulate for an ~easy breezy~ feel on their stomachs.
Promising review: "Got this for my 24-pound dog, as he usually lies on the concrete patio when we’re all outside with the sun blazing down on him. Got it set up and didn’t even have to coax him onto it. He loves it! He’s so comfortable, and definitely cooler with that canopy over him. It’s also held up well through the heat, rain, and some surprising strong windstorms. Definitely recommend." —Prairie Dove

21. A yummy dog ice cream mix for a frozen treat they will go wild for. All you need to do is add water and freeze! Choose from flavors like peanut butter, maple bacon, and good ol' vanilla.
BTW: reviewers suggest using this as a sneaky way to get your dog to take their vitamins or medications.
Promising review: "Bought 'birthday cake' doggy ice cream. Ingredients are people-friendly. Difference: lactose-free. Cara just loved it! It’s her after-dinner treat, and judging from the banging bowl as she makes sure not to miss any — it’s 'good to the last drop.' I must say I tried it and it’s not bad! Highly recommend." —Marrianne B.
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in five flavors).
22. Orrrrr a set of silicone dog treat molds if you want to get creative in the kitchen and make some aesthetically pleasing frozen treats. Reviewers love using these to freeze bone broth and purees made with veggies and fruit.

Promising review: "Our dog loves this life jacket! He can swim without it, but just not well or for very long. Now, in the mornings he tries to put it on himself so we can go throw the ball into the lake for him!" —Jessi
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in three styles, six sizes, and seven colors).
24. A stylish cooling mat that can be folded up super small so you can lay it out anywhere, whether you're chilling out in the park or are laying out on the patio.

Promising review: "I got these for my cats. They are inside boys and when I use the harness in the fenced backyard they tend to eat grass. My Ginger is a rotund 19 pounds but this contraption fits his extra large body with room for him to turn around and check out the ladies." —andjas96
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in four styles).
