    27 Problem-Solving Pet Products From Amazon You'll Wish You'd Thought Of First

    You'll have so much extra free time after using these problem-solving products.

    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. A small breed dental chew that helps clean teeth and freshen breath, so you can enjoy smol dog smooches without having to pinch your nose closed.

    A dog with the chews, which have been broken into smaller pieces

    2. A waterproof GPS tracker so you can keep tabs on outdoor cats, dogs who roam on large properties, and any indoor pets who have been known to bust out and wander the neighborhood. Once you activate the tracker, you can follow your pet's movements on a live GPS map.

    3. A cooling vest for doggos prone to summertime overheating. Just soak the vest in water, wring it out, and help your dog chill.

    4. A spray that helps prevent marking behavior, aka when your pet uses the area under your coffee table as a toilet. Just spray it wherever your pet has been going, let it sit, then wipe or vacuum. Plus, it removes stains and odors, too.

    5. A larger, machine-washable calming dog bed for bigger pups who can't fit into smaller raised-rim donut beds, but would still benefit from their soothing qualities. Size XXXL fits dogs up to 100 pounds!

    The bed, which is fluffy, round, and made of faux fur

    6. A tree-mounted bungee tug toy so your pal can get the vigorous exercise and play they need without pulling your arms out of their sockets (after all your sockets do for you, they really do deserve a break).

    A dog pulls on the end of the toy, which hangs from a tree

    7. A reptile water bowl that fits squarely in the corner of a tank so your snake or lizard won't easily knock it over.

    The bowl, which has a stone-style finish, and fits into a corner

    8. A bike-mounted leash attachment so you can take your medium-to-large pupperino along on rides without wondering how you're going to steer your bike and hold the leash at the same time.

    A dog with their collar attached to the attachment, which is mounted slightly above the back wheel

    9. A bag of Greenies cheese-flavored pill pockets for dogs who hate taking their medicine but cannot resist a little fromage. Just place the pill inside the pocket, pinch the top closed, and serve it up like a regular treat.

    The pill pocket, which has a flat bottom and a Cheerio-shaped body that gets pinched closed around the pill

    10. Or a bag of chicken-flavored pill pockets because your cats have grown wise to all your "wrapping a pill in deli meat" ways.

    The pill pockets with pills inside, and a penny for scale—the penny is slightly larger than the circumference of the pill pockets

    11. A nontoxic nose balm for pups whose sniffers are dry, chapped, scaly, or could just use a little TLC.

    12. A self-warming bed that uses your pet's natural body heat to create warmth — so elderly pets who need heat for their joints, or small animals like Chihuahuas who are often chilly, can stay snug.

    The dog bed in the round style, which has a plush sherpa lining

    13. A USB-charged light-up leash with both steady and flashing light options, because you and your pup need to be visible on night walks, no matter the weather conditions.

    The leash, which has two lines of glowing material stretching from the handle to the collar

    14. An interactive mouse toy that will keep even the most difficult-to-distract kitty entertained. The robotic mouse scurries in and out of holes on the toy's surface, engaging your cat's natural hunting instincts (and keeping them busy for a few minutes so you can finish folding laundry).

    Two cats play with the toy, which is round, with a top with a carpeted top with three large holes that the mouse emerges from

    15. An easy-to-mount reptile terrarium thermometer with a color code, so you can quickly see if your little scaly buddy is at a comfortable temperature.

    The thermometer, which is round and adheres to the terrarium wall

    16. A transparent furniture shield that adheres directly to fabric, so your favorite furniture-destroying feline won't be able to sink their claws into your new couch or chair.

    The shields, which adhere directly to the couch

    17. A hands-free belt leash because it will make it easier to jog, hike, push a stroller, run errands, or otherwise travel with your best pal. If you need more control, just grab the built-in handles near the top and bottom of the leash.

    The leash, which has reflective material, and which wraps around the human's waist

    18. A cat-calming pheromone diffuser kit so that cats prone to marking, scratching, going outside the litter box, or just generally anxious behavior can get a little help relaxing.

    The diffuser, which plugs directly into a wall socket

    19. A FURemover broom specifically designed for sweeping fur off of any surface, including carpets and hard surfaces. It also has a squeegee edge to clean liquids (pet-related or otherwise) off of hard surfaces.

    20. A silicone-bristled paw washer, so you don't have to struggle with scrunched-up towels or soaked-through paper towels every time your buddy comes in with muddy paws.

    21. A set of dog training bells that your pup can use to let you know every time they want to be let outside to use the bathroom (instead of whining, barking, or whatever else their current method is).

    A dog with the bell, which dogs ring by tapping down on it with their paw (like the bell at the front desk of a hotel)

    22. A small, compressible, machine-washable travel dog bed, so you don't have to fuss with packing up your pup's big bed when it's time to travel — just compress the bed into its storage sack, pop it in your bag, and get ready to explore the world (or the part of the world that's of interest to dogs, anyway).

    23. A grooming glove for the cat or pup who goes running when you bring out the brush. The glove's nubs massage your cat or dog and collect loose hair as you pet them.

    The glove, which gets covered in loose fur as you pet

    24. A no-spill water bowl that releases more water as your puppo drinks, preventing spills, overflow, soaked faces, and gross little food bits floating in the water.

    The water bowl, which is square, with a deep rim

    25. A padded, reflective, no-pull harness with a top handle, so you and your bestie can have the safest, most comfortable walks ever, without worrying about tugging, darting, or harnesses that cut painfully into their skin.

    The harness, which has a leash ring in front as well as the back

    26. A waterproof mat that's designed to catch litter as it falls off your cat's paws, so they don't track it all over the house. Stray litter is caught in the mat's honeycomb pockets and can be dumped back into the litter box for use.

    The mat, which is rubbery and has a honeycomb pattern in order to catch the litter

    27. An elevated dog bowl because it can help prevent the neck and back strain that taller or older dogs can feel when leaning down to eat.
