34 Pet Products You Might Wonder How You've Gone This Long Without Buying

A cat nip-filled toy to keep your kitty occupied? Adding to cart now.

1. A cat carrier that'll swaddle your cat and make transporting them soooo much easier. Best of all, they won't be able to fight or claw you when it's time to go out!

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I was skeptical like many others, but this bag is magical, I think! The cats fought over who got to sit/sleep on it straight out of the package, and they don't mind being zipped up in it at all! I used it two days ago to cut their nails — first time I was able to cut them by myself! There are two Velcro slots at the front on each side for their paws to come out. This morning, I used the bag to apply medicine to their ears by myself...super easy! It's made of a heavyweight-type fabric that keeps their feet secure so they don't run away, and protects you from their sharp nails. No, it doesn't protect you from biting, but I don't know of anything reasonable that does. But for normal cats, who just don't like to be 'fiddled' with, this bag is a godsend. I highly recommend it!" —K. Zainea

2. An automatic water fountain reviewers swear by to actually get their kitty to start drinking H2O regularly.

amazon.com

The fountain holds two liters of water and actually has three ~very fun~ water flow modes: flower waterfall; flower bubble; and gentle fountain. It also comes with two replacement filters.

Promising review: "This is an awesome fountain! We’ve had two plastic ones in the past. One leaked and the other seemed difficult to keep clean. I finally gave up and just used a bowl of water, but I noticed my cats were not urinating very much. I did some research on Amazon and settled on this product. It looks like a decorative fountain you would buy to decorate your home. It is very sturdy, works perfectly, and is amazing easy to clean. Best of all, my cats love it. There was no acclimation process for them — they started drinking from it immediately. I would not hesitate to recommend it or purchase it again." —Youning X.

3. Greenies dental treats — the OG plaque-defying, tartar-build-up-removing dog snacks that'll keep your pup's grill looking like they just left the doggie dentist. Best of all, they actually taste good, which means they'll never even know that these are actually good for their dental hygiene.

PetSmart

Promising review: "I have been giving Greenies to my now 19 year old dog Eddie since they were first available on the market. Always his only morning breakfast and after dinner treat no other snacks, he refusese them! ONLY GREENIES will do! Now that he is 19 I have switched from petite to tiny at times. He has never gained any weight from these. His weight has remained steady at 20-22 lbs. his entire adult life. He still refuses any other types of treats, and has enjoyed Greenies over the years. I highly reccomend lots of exercise for your fur-kids as well. He still runs at least 1/2 a block twice a day. Best treat ever!" —linnyloo

Get them from PetSmart for $4.98.

4. A secret hideaway that'll give your hamster or bird a little home of their own. It'll also make for some adorable Insta stories.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This is such a fun find for my budgie. She loves to whistle or talk in it, I think she likes the echo. I catch her sleeping in there too, just adorable! She is an English budgie, so yours will fit in there too. Advice: She wasn't sure at first but I made sure the ladder was secure enough to ensure her confidence, and also put some spray millet in there and it didn't take long before she liked it." —Candace

Get it from Amazon for $9.70.

5. A mounted brush you can mount on the corner of a wall to provide your cat with all the scratching and grooming their lil' heart desires. It even includes a compartment for storing cat nip! 😻

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "My cat Gambino Bambino would let you brush him bald!!! He loves to be groomed and comes running whenever the brush comes out. Though we love to accommodate, I know he wanted more. He was constantly rubbing his cheeks and ears on the corner of our walls to get even more scratching. I finally came across this product and knew he would love it! It took a little convincing but once he got a hang of it he’s been loving it! We have one in the living room, one in the kitchen, one at the top of the stairs and one in the guest room! He is having a great time!!! Very easy to put together and place on the wall." —T. Mangiaracina

Get it from Amazon for $3.74.

6. A leafy cat condo so they can feel like they're out fending for themselves in the wilderness.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Not only will this cat condo give your kitty a fun place to hide/climb/hang out in, but it will add some much-needed greenery to your home.

Promising review: "At first, our cat wouldn't climb onto it, even with coaxing her with treats and catnip. We think it might have had a smell or something about it from the container. But now, it's her FAVORITE part of the house, she's on it all the time! It was pretty easy to assemble and is a really cool cat tree. We didn't want a carpeted tree, and the extra foliage fits nicely in our house!" —The Queen of Anneland

Get it from Amazon for $118+ (available with a square or round base and in five sizes).

7. Dog goggles to protect your doggo's eyes while they're basking in the sun or sticking their head out of your car window.

amazon.com, amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "My dog loves to hang his head out of the window when we go driving, but I'm always concerned about his eyes when he does this. Shih Tzus have notorious dry eyes and other eye problems, so I wanted to keep him protected. It took our dog a while to get used to wearing these, and he's still not a total fan, but they do the job!" —D. Joslyn

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in three colors).

8. An interactive ball launcher because your pup NEVER gets tired of playing fetch and, sadly, you've got more important things to do than toss a ball all day.

Amazon

Promising review: "My dogs love it! I have two small dogs and when it is too cold or wet outside and they can't go out, this is how we play. I aim the launcher toward the hallway and they chase after it and bring ball back to me every time. I use two balls and as one is brought to me, I launch the next. Keeps them busy and tires them out so I get a little peace and quiet on cold or rainy days. Still working on getting dogs to drop the ball into machine but it works out great. I purchased Kong Air Balls in extra small-size as replacements when other balls are chewed or lost. They are cheaper to replace and work well with the machine and are a bit sturdier." —Medinagirl

Get it from Amazon for $115.

9. A chewable carrot kebab designed to give your bunny some much-needed entertainment. Nothing like a good ol' day of chewing and gnawing on a fake carrot!

amazon.com

Promising review: "My bunnies (picky and spoiled) really like this toy. They managed to chew off the end already, so the little pieces came off of the kebab. They still play with/chew the smaller pieces. I've had about three or four of these for my rabbits over time now; it's a good go-to toy for them. The toy has a little clip so you can hang it in their hutch; I just leave it on the ground where they can find it, and they still have fun with it." —Talie

Get it from Amazon for $3.49.

10. A dog poop bag carrier that makes things so much easier when your dog decides to do their business in a perfectly manicured lawn rather than the wooded area 10 feet away.

Wild One

The carrier comes with a roll of 10 poop bags but you can purchase a set of 60 replacement bags for $10. BTW, Wild One is a WOC-co-founded brand!

Promising review: "This product makes the poop bags come out so easily without an issue. And let’s not forget how cute and stylish this product is! I seriously love it. And it comes with that string which you can tie to the leash, or wear around your wrist. I honestly would recommend this poop bag carrier." —Dulce R.

Get it from Wild One for $8 (available in seven colors).

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

amazon.com

Promising review: "We have an overweight cat who has trouble grooming her back. She was so full of dandruff and greasy fur that I hated petting her. We took her to the vet, and he thought it was allergies. We tried prednisone for a while, and it was clear she was less itchy, but the dandruff remained. The vet suggested different food, so we switched to a different flavor (different ingredients) in the same line, and there was no change. Our poor girl looked miserable. We decided to try a bath, but she's 13 years old so we knew she wouldn't enjoy it. While looking for a shampoo for her, I came across this product and decided to try it before torturing her with a bath. After the first application there was a huge difference! After the second application, her dandruff is GONE. We spray her down and then brush her. She is so soft and shiny! She finally looks healthy, and feels good to pet." —Amber Steele

Get a pack of two from Amazon for $19.99.

12. A set of durable rope toys that can handle even the toughest chewing, tugging, and tossing.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "These were great for my puppy. The sizes go up basically in thickness, and so the toy grows with her in that regard (while she doesn't outgrow the earlier sizes). The price is super affordable, and they are tough! My puppy is an avid chewer and these items have survived many tug-o-wars thus far." —Colleen Sinclair

Get it from Amazon for $9.87

13. Or a stuffing-less toy because your pup has absolutely destroyed every toy you've ever got them in the first 10 minutes of you bringing it home. So rude!

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "Not the best-looking toy on the planet, but it doesn't bother my dog any, and it doesn't bother me either! It's long and easy for him to grab, so he loves playing tug-o-war with it, and the squeakers are an added bonus. The fact that he didn't destroy it the first time he played with it is a plus. It seems sturdy and I like that it will last a while. I would definitely purchase this product again!" —Franquie

Get it from Amazon for $6.16+ (available in four sizes and 13 styles).

14. A waterless cat bath that's a little like dry shampoo for hoomans — which means you won't have to go through the drama (and pain) of your kitty hissing and scratching you when you try to wash them in water.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "My cat, despite getting bathed frequently, still manages to smell like a combination of mouth, belly button lint, and floor. I bathed her with this tonight and she smells like a spring baby. I can't stop huffing her soft head. I didn't think it was possible to love her any more, but I'm a changed man. This stuff rocks." —J. Ham

Get it from Amazon for $7.49.

15. A snout soother to moisturize that crusty nose of theirs back to smooth, buttery perfection. They'll be so grateful for a smooth snout, and you'll be even more grateful to not find nose crusties in your bed.

amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "Well, I have never before been so shocked at the effectiveness of a product. Our 5-year-old Frenchie, Carol, had a nose that was so crusty it was sprouting these long strands of more crust. There was literally crust on crust on crust. The nose had strings of crust. This nose was so crusty and repulsive it was almost beautiful. Her nose might have resembled the rarest, most exotic geode to be mined from the rarest mine in Guatemala. A friend recommended Snout Soother for Carol's repulsive nose. I was worried she would just lick it all off and it wouldn't work. We never imagined she could have a regular, soft, moist nose again. Honestly this product is some black magic stuff! Unbelievable results in three to five days. No one paid me to write this." —Brittany

Get it from Amazon for $6.95.

16. An eye rinse that reduces irritation and magically removes tear stains (aka those annoying red marks under your pup's eyes).

amazon.com

Promising review: "I have two Shih Tzus. They had watery eyes and a little tear staining, but this eye solution has worked wonderfully. One drop in their eyes every morning after I’ve cleaned them. At one point I stopped doing it for awhile, and my male ended up with a stye, so back to every day." —CG

Get it from Amazon for $5.59.

17. A piñata toy that'll keep your parrot friend busy shredding and pecking for hours on end.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Parrots need to have things to destroy to keep them happy. They are not simply content with plastic, nondestructible toys, they need to shred and chew things. Some wood toys will suit their need to chew things up — but other toys, like this one, fulfill their needs to destroy and shred things. I've had these before and my bird loves to tear them apart. It keeps him busy and content for hours and quieter. If you're new to parrot keeping don't buy toys on the basis of longevity alone, but things that they can destroy to fulfill their need for more active chewing activities. I like the piñata because not only does it fulfill the shredding need but it also lasts a lot longer than other shreddable toys. Sometimes it may take a few days for them to get into them, but they provide good activity and are longer-lasting." —Tomsde

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two sizes).

18. An umbrella leash designed specifically for the pups who hate getting wet and refuse to go outside when it's raining.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Good product and works well. My sweet pup stays dry now when needing to go outside. The product seems a bit flimsy, but outside of very strong winds it holds up well. Even in a strong wind when the umbrella flipped the other way, the umbrella didn't break or bend but flipped right back how it needs to be, and seems to be relatively good quality. Would definitely recommend... great price also :)" —Katherine

Get it from Amazon for $13.77.

19. An ear treatment to to keep your pet's ears clean and healthy. It can also help prevent nasty infections and complications down the road that'll undoubtedly result in a hefty bill from your veterinarian.

amazon.com

Promising review: "My dog has had chronic ear infections for years now. Every other month or so she’d get an infection and $200 later we’d have meds from the vet who confirmed what we already knew. I finally decided to give an unprescribed treatment a try and it worked AMAZINGLY. Followed the instructions for a week, and her ear is completely healed! Much easier to pay $20 as opposed to $200 when you get the same results! I highly recommend." —Fromal16

Get it from Amazon for $21.99+ (available in two sizes).

20. A bottle of tearless shampoo that might help your pooch or kitty hate you a bit less when bath time rolls around.

The Bark Shoppe

The Bark Shoppe is a Black-owned brand with vegan products that are free of harsh chemicals!

Get it from The Bark Shoppe for $16.99.

21. A veterinarian-formulated toothpaste that your pup can actually get behind (they deserve pearly whites, too!). Its natural flavor will actually taste good to them, which means you'll no longer have to worry about all that plaque building up on their ~canines~. 🦷

amazon.com, amazon.com

It comes with a toothbrush, too!

Promising review: "I read a lots of reviews on different brands and decided on this one. GREAT IDEA! There is no bad odor, if anything, it's odorless. My dog loves the flavor of it too — he actually sits when he sees me getting the toothpaste out because he thinks it's a treat. We just started using it two weeks ago and have already noticed an improved on some build up on his back teeth. Recommend!" —Nikki_D

Get it from Amazon for $4.09.

22. A holistic healing gel to help relieve your pup's skin-related ailments, including irritation from allergies, hot spots, rashes, and dermatitis. Now you and your pet can do your skincare routines together!

Promising review: "Wow, this helped my dogs tremendously!! One was bitten by another dog and this helped it heal very fast. The other has dermatitis and this soothed her inflammation. Will be buying again! Update: I nicked one of my dogs with clippers. Bled horribly! I cleaned her up and applied this and it was healed in two days. My mother's groomer nicked her dog in the same area and he had to go to the vet and wear the cone of shame. I'm going to get her a jar if I can talk her into trying the holistic approach." —Lolaisgr8

Get it from PawromaTherapy on Etsy for $14+ (available in two sizes).

23. A soft hammock for the ferret or rat in your life who just loooooooves to snuggle. This'll help keep them nice and cozy when you're away from home.

amazon.com

Promising review: "We have gone through so many hammocks that do not work for our ferrets. This hammock is AMAZING!!! Our ferrets love it! It’s durable, no long straps or cords for them to chew on, they can hide in it and it’s big enough for them to cuddle together. We are so impressed we ordered another one to put on the second level of their cage. So pleased with this product!" —Dmarie

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

amazon.com

If you're worried about finding little paw prints all over your carpeting, don't worry, it's stain free. 🐾

Promising review: "I use to live in upper Michigan and used Mushers Secret regularly for my dogs. I bought some a while back though I live in Louisiana now because it blocks the ice and heat well. It also blocks salt from the dog pads. Love this stuff. Recently went to Washington to visit my sister and it was icy and it helped Charlie with his tiny paws. My mom just got a new puppy recently and she lives in Germany. She got a little pug. She was really concerned about her paws getting hurt from the snow, ice and salt. I bought her this product to put in her package as part of her new puppy gifts. This product really works. Just rub a bit into the paws. Wash it off when you get home if need be. I totally recommend this product and have been using it forever. Most dogs don't like wearing boots and this is the way to go. I had a lot of sled dog friends in Michigan and they are the once that got me to try it. I am glad they did." —K9rotehexe

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

25. An ~elevated~ pet bed with a mesh center designed to keep your pup cool and cozy, indoors or out.

amazon.com

My dog, Wrigley, (a 50-pound pit bull mix) has this bed and we prefer to call it his throne. He had bought probably five different beds before this one, and he never used them... Maybe because he is too good to be laying on the ground?? As is likely the case with your pup, too. Our veterinarian recommended these to us and we couldn't believe how much he loves it. He now has one that stays outside, and you can find him basking in the sun on it all day long during the summer. We put a fluffy bed on the one we keep inside (in front of the fireplace, naturally) to make it extra cozy for him in the winter. Basically, if you have a stubborn, spoiled pup who deserves a throne, this may very well be your answer.

Promising review: "Our 6-month-old golden retriever loves it! The size is perfect, we ordered the large, and it's strong enough to to hold his weight. He also loves to dig, scratch and chew the bed and even now ( we have had it for about three weeks) there are no holes or tears in the fabric. I am very impressed!" –Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $26.81+ (available in sizes small–XL).

26. Or an ergonomic dog bed by Furhaven, because your pup needs orthopedic support just as much as you do!

amazon.com

Promising review: "I have bought tons of dog beds! I always read the reviews and think how does someone know their dog likes the bed? I guess I never had a dog bed that my dog showed to really like until this one. I have an 11-year-old lab who has hip problems. The minute I took the bed out of the box he laid on it, and he has not moved in over an hour. He normally gets up to follow me around the house when I do things, but not with this bed! He is cozy and staying put. My rescue mutt also likes it but unfortunately she only got to be on it for 1 minute before the lab claimed it for good :). Guess I need to buy another one!" —Nicole Huprich

Get it from Furhaven on Amazon for $19.99+ (available in sizes small-jumbo plus and 12 colors).

27. 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??).

amazon.com

Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing — he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $24.95.

28. A medicated dog shampoo formulated *without* parabens, dyes, or soap to manage dandruff, mange, and fungal/bacterial infections. They'll be so much more comfortable, and you'll be able to sleep at night knowing your pooch isn't suffering.

amazon.com

Promising review: "Naturally, because of the ingredients, it has a strong smell. However, it does seem to leave my dog's skin feeling dry and provides good relief for her poor itchy skin. My dog Molly is a 9-pound mini dachshund whose little chest makes contact with the grass all the time so her skin gets itchy and irritated. I’ve been bathing her regularly with this shampoo and it is giving her some relief. No more greasy, flaky skin. Her skin and fur is now dry and soft." —Climbyourarms

Get it from Amazon for $8.96.

29. A pack of catnip-infused felt balls guaranteed to keep your purring friend entertained for hours — freeing up time for you to actually get some chores done around the house.

SimplyBVermont / Etsy

Here's the cool part: when your cat starts to lose interest, all you gotta do is plop the felt balls back in their "charging tin" so they can absorb more of the catnip smell (there's little capsules of catnip in the tin). After a few hours, they'll be good as new and your cat won't be able to get enough. BTW, SimplyBVermont is a small business located in, you guessed it, Vermont. They make all kinds of adorable pet accessories and toys for cats AND dogs.

Promising review: "Fast shipping, seller was super thoughtful and attentive, and most important of all our kitties are obsessed with these balls! Even my shyer one is running around with these having an absolute blast even without my tossing them around. It’s also wearing her out which is quite hard to do. Highly recommend!" —Ketti Schulenberg

Get a set from SimplyBVermont on Etsy for $12.99.

30. A dog paw cleaning device to make sure your home stays mud- and dirt-free all year long. It might even feel like a luxurious spa treatment for your pup every time you come back from a walk!

amazon.com

Okay, probably not. But even if they *despise* this tool, at the very least it'll help keep your house somewhat clean.

Promising review: "Best. Thing. Ever. This product works like a charm. It gets the sand from between their pads, and is gentle enough that even my most stubborn pup tolerates it! I have a terrier/schnauzer who likes to dig, a mini golden doodle who is prissy about her paws and a standard labradoodle puppy who is still very fuzzy. We have a farm where it is extremely sandy and we stay in a travel trailer. The amount of sand they were tracking in to the camper was ridiculous. It takes me three minutes to clean and dry off all of their paws. Seriously the best purchase I have made!" —Rachel

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes and six colors).

31. A Furbo camera 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!

amazon.com

Promising review: "I was always concerned leaving my puppy home alone because he will cry a lot... When I got the Furbo, things got much better! Furbo sent me notifications to my phone when he was crying, so I would log on and talk to him right away. This changed everything!! My puppy knows I'm always there, so his separation anxiety is getting better. He cries less, and I feel much more relieved." —Susan

Get it from Amazon for $169.

32. A wall suction treat dispenser that'll make bath time, nail trimming, and general training SO much easier. While your pet is focused on the peanut butter staring into their eyes, you can work on getting them groomed.

amazon.com

Many reviewers suggest freezing this with the peanut butter on it first so that your pup has to really work at getting all that deliciousness out — which'll keep them occupied for a little longer so you can do what you need to do!

Promising review: "Tried this with our lab puppy when I needed to sweep and vacuum the floors. This kept her busy for a while so I could clean in peace! I filled it with peanut butter and placed it on the refrigerator door. She loves it! Also used this when we had company to keep her busy so she wouldn't be such a pest." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $10.95.

35. A pack of Burt's Bees cat wipes designed to keep your kitty nice and fresh between washes (because we both know how much they HATE taking baths).

amazon.com

I see fewer scratches and bite marks in your future.

Promising review: "Our son was having a lot of dander on his back near the base of his tail. We kept up the brushing but it wasn't going away. Looking at the reviews I decided to go for the dander wipes. Well I have used it twice and was blown away. His dander is pretty much all gone now. Plus his hair seems shinier and silkier after his brushing and using the wipes. Not to mention our baby boy looks just like the cat on the packaging. All around I will continue to buy these and use once a week or twice every two weeks to keep up his beautiful orange coat. Thanks Burt's Bees!" —Tom Cincotta

Get them from Amazon for $5.83.

36. Lastly, an anti-fungal, antibacterial spray made with cooling aloe to treat skin conditions like including allergies, cuts, hot spots, infections, rashes, and scrapes.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "My Frenchie chews on his paws night and day. I’ve tried raw diets, but it was not a food allergy. My dog just produces too much yeast in his paws and tail pocket that he just can’t help it but gnaw in this paws for hours on and scooting his butt to get that itch in that tail pocket. I’ve tried foot soaks, balms, and so many other products, wasting so much money. This is the first product that worked! The smell is very pleasant and easy application; be careful don’t let your dog ingest it. I love this product and won’t be using any other product. Since I’ve been using it, his paws are starting to look normal and not all red/raw and chewed up. I would recommend this to any animal owner to use this if the pets have skin issues." —Uyen Mai Thi Tran
