    25 Pet Products On Amazon That Apartment Owners Swear By

    Everything you need to make life with your furriest roommate a little easier (now, if only they'd pay their half of the rent on time).

    Hey there! Did you know that Amazon's app has exclusive features that lets you scan barcodes to check prices IRL, use your phone’s camera to search for items with a ~single tap~, track orders in real time, and more? Download it here for free and receive $5 off your first in-app purchase.

    1. An artificial grass potty pad that lasts longer than traditional training pads and can be used outdoors on a patio or balcony, for your pup's middle-of-the-night (or middle-of-the-torrential-rain-storm) bathroom needs.

    2. An enclosed litter box with an adorable mid-century aesthetic, for folks who don't have the room to stash an unsightly box off in a far-away corner. Plus, the enclosure contains the eau de litter.

    The litter box, which is on small splayed legs and is oval-shaped, with a small circular hole for entry, in blue

    3. Or a cabinet-style litter box, so even if you have a studio, you can give your kitty a little privacy, without disrupting your interior design.

    4. An easy-to-install pet door that fits onto your sliding glass doors, no cutting or complex installation required. Attach the panel to your pre-existing door frame with screws or adhesive strips and voila! Your pet gets easy backyard access, and you get an easy way to remove the pet door when it's time to move, Airbnb your place, etc.

    5. A set of two potty training bells (plus training clicker), so your pup can let you know when it's time to grab the leash and head downstairs (instead of just silently standing at the door until it's almost too late).

    6. A collapsible cat tree that can be stored away when you need to make room for guests.

    The cat tree, which is X-shaped, with a hideout on the bottom and hammock on top

    7. A handheld pet hair vacuum, so even if your space isn't big enough to bother with a full-sized vacuum, you don't have to be buried alive in fur.

    8. A chic cat tree, because in an apartment where space is at a premium, it's worthwhile to get pet play areas that double as decor.

    The cat tree, which is dark wood in a curving vertical shape, with scratch pads, platforms, and a hideout built in

    9. Or a hanging, portable, multi-level cat condo, for folks who move often, or just need a kitty play area that won't take up precious floor space.

    The five-level cat condo, which has entrances/ peepholes on multiple floors, and attaches to the back of doors with built-in straps

    10. A mentally stimulating dog food puzzle toy, so your pup can stay engaged and entertained all day long, even if you don't have a lot of space for them to explore.

    The toy, which is round, with covered bone-shaped compartments that the dog can remove to find the snacks

    11. A set of cat feeding toys that will stimulate your indoor kitty, even if you only have a small place. Fill the toy mice with food and hide them around your apartment to engage your cat's instinct to hunt and explore.

    12. A pet smell neutralizing candle, because no matter how much you love your pets, sometimes, you'd like to smell them a little less.

    The candle, which comes in a glass jar with a removable top

    13. A railing safety net, so your fur babies can enjoy your balcony or loft area without any risk of falling or getting stuck.

    The mesh railing safety net, which ties at the top and bottom of the net, so the pet cannot get between the railings

    14. A raised kitty perch that attaches to the window with suction cups, so you can add some vertical play space to your apartment without making room for a whole cat tree, or messing up your walls by drilling a bunch of holes.

    15. A set of two pet bowls built into an easy-to-clean silicone mat, so you won't have to worry about spilled water dripping through to the next floor, or kibble falling somewhere hard-to-reach, where it becomes a meal for gross, apartment-dwelling pests.

    16. A wall-mounted scratching post for apartments that don't have the floor space for a large traditional scratcher.

    17. A thick, reusable, machine-washable potty pad, so you can train your pup (or care for an aging doggo) without worrying about anything damaging your floors or carpets, or leaking into the apartment below.

    18. A bottle of pet stain and odor remover spray that works on carpet, tile, and hardwood, because nothing will make you realize how small a 500-square-foot studio really is like a lingering pet smell.

    19. A 3.5-pound dry pet food storage container with a pour spout, so you don't have to waste precious, precious space storing big, unwieldy bags of dry pet food.

    The container, which has a rectangular plastic body and a pouring spout at the top, with a detachable measuring cup

    20. A pressure-mounted walk-through pet gate with a cat door, for apartments with lots of pets, lots of love, but not quite enough doors.

    The door, which has a small cat door built into the bottom that can be opened or secured shut

    21. A set of foldable pet steps with railings, so older, injured, or just plain tiny pets can stay independent, and you can stow them away when you need to make extra space.

    22. An air purifier, for when your pet's fur and dander becomes your uninvited new roommate.

    The air purifier, which is compact and plugs into an outlet

    23. A silicone-bristled paw washer, so you can clean muddy or dusty paws easily, even if there isn't much space to manuever.

    24. A soft Chuckit! ball designed for indoor use, so you can play fetch to your heart's content without annoying your neighbors (or messing up the drywall).

    A dog with the ball, which is covered in soft, yarn-like threads

    25. And a door protector that will keep your door (and security deposit) safe from scratches and claw marks.

    The door protector, which adheres directly to the door with stickable Velcro spots
