    35 Pet Products From Amazon Our Readers Are Loving In 2023 So Far

    Cleaning must-haves, super fun toys, grooming essentials, and more pet picks our readers have been loving.

    1. A pet hair remover that'll help you keep your furniture clean and clear of all the unwanted fur that's been building up for weeks. (OK, months? YEARS??)

    2. A bottle of Folex spot remover to lift away the toughest stains with grace and ease. Red wine? ✔️ Pizza sauce? ✔️ Pet stains? ✔️ You get the idea. Best of all, you can use it on everything from your furniture to your car seats to your carpet.

    3. A broom for pet hair that'll have you quite literally *raking* out all the dog and/or cat hair that's interwoven itself with your carpet and rugs. I have never been so impressed yet disgusted at the same time.

    4. A Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro designed to combine the best of a mop with the best of a vacuum — giving you the high-powered cleansing tool of your dreams. (Aka: the answer to all that dirt and pet hair coating every inch of your home!)

    Promising review: "I have a toddler who loves food fights with the floor and a large dog who sheds A LOT. I was skeptical because of the reviews, but when used properly, it sucks up everything on the floor. I just swept and mopped using a broom, went over it with a hardwood sweeper and a Swiffer. The Crosswave still pulled up all of this hair and dirt. It’s also very easy to clean, and the suction is incredible. With a little common sense, this is an amazing product." —Tristen

    Price: $269.59 

    5. window seat your cat(s) will pile on to lounge and keep a watchful eye on what's happening outdoors. It can hold up to 50 pounds with its suction design, and no, you *don't* have to worry about anything happening if they decide to chew on the support beams!

    Promising review: "Epic!!! I have a cat window bed that has top cable mount support and THIS design with bottom post mount support is soooooooooooo much better!! The bottom mount support allows for 100% unobstructed jump entry, it has a longer bed, and it just looks better without the top mount cables. Both of my cats love it so much that I’m purchasing another one to replace their old bed. I'll possibly stagger them on my sliding glass door!! Epic!!" —Diggslife

    Price: $21.49+ (available in two sizes and five colors)

    6. An all-in-one vacuum pet grooming kit that comes with a host of de-shedding and grooming attachments to manage your fur baby's never-ending stream of pet hair and dander.

    The kit includes five attachments: a grooming brush, de-shedding brush, electric clipper with four comb attachments (6mm/12mm/18mm/24mm), a nozzle head, and cleaning brush for collecting any fallen pet hair. 

    Promising review: "I saw a video of this on TikTok and had to try it out. My dog is part husky and sheds a lot. The noise isn’t too loud; it’s sounds like white noise when it’s on the highest setting. I’ve been using the deshedding attachment on him twice a week and it’s been incredible. Would absolutely recommend!" —Amazon Customer 

    Price: $149.99

    7. A pack of EcoKind's Himalayan yak cheese chews to keep your chewing-inclined pup satisfied and busy when you don't have time to play tug of war with them for the millionth time.

    8. lawn repair formula to help restore your lawn back to the lush, green pasture it once was — because although you praise your dog for going outside, their pee is wreaking havoc on your green carpet. 

    Promising review: "I used this in the spring to fill out our lawn more, and it worked great! I was worried because I feel like you always hear grass seed horror stories, but I just raked our lawn good, spread seeds all over, and watered it once (sometimes twice) per day, and it filled the lawn in beautifully!" —Mariah

    Price: $16.44+ (available in five sizes and four multipacks)

    9. A Furbo camera that's straight from the future. Not only does it allow you to keep a watchful eye on your pet 24/7, it also syncs with your Amazon Alexa to send you barking alerts — and even lets you toss them a treat (potentially distracting them from further destroying your favorite pair of shoes you see they somehow got ahold of).

    10. pee-finding UV flashlight for pinpointing the exact spot of that terrible smell. It's designed to detect food stains and pet urine stains on rugs, carpets, and clothes that are otherwise invisible to the naked eye.

    Promising review: "OMG this is disgusting! I bought this because I thought my cat was peeing in one room and couldn't find the exact spot. Found the spot and more. Would recommend. Pictured is the same spot without and then with the UV light on." —Momof3boys

    Price: $10.79

    11. An automatic cat food dispenser so you can finally enjoy your sleep instead of having your kitty scream their head off at 5 a.m. begging you to fill up their bowl. You can schedule up to four feeding times a day and choose between nine serving sizes.

    You can also create a custom 10-second recording to play when it dispenses so your kitty knows to associate your voice with the happiness they feel at mealtime. 

    Promising review: "So far I'm loving it. I've had this for a few days, and it's working perfectly. I got this for my overweight cat to help with his diet. He loves it and already recognizes the sound when it's dispensing. I also got this because he would cry for food early in the morning. No more crying! I have this set for 5 a.m. and 5 p.m. and, so far.... I've been able to sleep in. I still serve all my cats wet food when I get home at night, but this sure has helped a lot." —Danielle M.

    Price: $49.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors)

    12. An embark dog DNA test, because your doggo gets annoyed every time you "guess" their ancestry at the dog park when people ask, "What kind of dog is that?"

    13. A litter mat to help prevent litter-covered paw prints from dotting your home every time your cat has to use the bathroom.

    14. A pet food storage container on WHEELS!! This is perf for keeping their kibble EXTRA fresh (up to 35 lbs of it!!) and can be rolled from room to room, aka, it'll never be in the way.

    15. A set of puppy pads to help mitigate messes while you teach your sweet little one that, unfortunately, they must wait until they've been let out to let it out.

    16. A box of Temptations cat treats, because your cute lil' kitty deserves nothing but the best (and the yummiest).

    17. A stuffed duck also known as the last toy your pup may ever need. They'll be tossing it in the air by day, and cuddling up with it by night. Sooooo precious!!

    18. A swan fountain because your cat refuses to drink out of a bowl and simply demands something as extra as this.

    19. A grooming glove so efficient, your dog will probably think is a chew toy (until you start using it for a relaxing scratch sesh). And since they think they're getting a relaxing scratch sesh, you'll reallllly be able to work at getting all that loose hair out.

    20. A jar of Musher's Secret paw wax that's a topical ointment formulated with all-natural ingredients to protect your pup's paws from irritants like salt, heat, snow, ice, and sand.

    21. A dog water bottle to keep your pup from becoming dehydrated or overheating while you're on the go.

    22. An Angry Orange pet odor eliminator for, well, when your pet children can't make it outside or to the litter box in time. Bless their hearts...

    23. A pack of matatabi chew sticks your kitty will actually enjoy the flavor of. They're made from matatabi (a plant native to Japan) and a delicious catnip alternative — perfect for the fur balls who are quite particular about their snacks.

    24. A purring cat toy equipped with (you guessed it) a built-in purring mechanism to help your anxious little kitty relax and unwind, wherever it is you might be going.

    25. Or, a sloth version of the same Purr Pillow that does the exact same thing, except it, well, looks like a sloth... Either way, BOTH are best sellers (so the choice is truly yours).

    26. A fast-acting air purifier specifically designed for households with pets that'll circulate the air in your room four times per hour and is virtually silent. Pet hair, dander, dust, and seasonal allergies are no match for this thing.

    27. A bottle of Burt's Bees dander-reducing spray formulated with aloe vera and oatmeal to moisturize your cat's dry, flaky coat back to health.

    28. A realistic flopping fish cat toy that, quite simply, might be the best thing to ever happen to your kitty.

    29. Or this genius cat toy guaranteed to keep your little feline entertained for HOURS. It's good to treat ourselves, but it's even MORE important to treat our pets.

    30. A 40-pound bag of Dr. Elsey's cat litter so you'll always be prepared to give your kitty a fresh spot to go. It forms big clumps that are easy to scoop, and even has an allergy-friendly 99% dust-free formula.

    Promising review: "Several years ago I saw this litter in a review on a cat veterinarian's website. I had tried many different brands and types of cat litter — clay, paper, corn, etc. — because I wanted to find one with minimal dust. I ordered a bag and have never purchased another brand since. I have found this litter works for several cats equally as well. No perfume smell, little to no dust, reduced tracking, clumps well, longer time between changes, and has great odor control." —mydogtate

    Price: $10.24+ (available in two sizes)

    31. A set of tear-stain removing combs to simply and safely remove all that mysterious gunk that accumulates around your pup's eyes.

    32. A pair of professional nail clippers because they love to play rough and swat at you from under the sofa. These professional-grade clippers will do the job while making sure your kitty cat stays comfortable (and might even save you some $$ from not getting it done at a groomer or vet). 

    Reviewer photo of the clippers

    It's best to use clippers actually designed for cats, like these, since you can see exactly how much you're trimming off (should be just the sharp tips!) and the curved, sharp edges make snipping easy and painless. 

    Not to scare you, but I once had to take a cat to the vet because the other one accidentally scratched his ear while playing (unbeknownst to me) and it got infected. Now I make *extra* sure I trim those nails when they start to get extra sharp. If you're new to trimming your cats' nails, you can start with just one or two nails at a time to get them used to the process, and of course, be sure to give them a treat afterward. 😊

    Price: $7.68

    33. A pack of guaranteed leakproof poop bags that are also lavender scented — two things that instantly just made taking your dog for a walk a more pleasant experience.

    34. A 100-pack of aloe and eucalyptus dog ear wipes so you can easily clean them out and help prevent any unwanted bacteria or infections.

    35. clever Door Buddy latch perfect for your dual-pet home, as it is designed to hold a door open just far enough so your kitty can slip out, but your dog can't. Which seems unfair to the dog, but again, life isn't fair. And this invention is genius. 

    Promising review: "We have a Boston Terrier who LOVES cat food but it makes him extremely sick. We needed something to keep him out but let the cats in so we tried this. It works so well, we bought a second one for our bedroom so the cats at night can come and go as they please but it keeps the dog in our room and out of their hair if they choose to wonder the house! I’m not sure how I lived without it but I won’t be without it now!" —Mickey Bergman

    Price: $16.94
