I can't think of a more paw-fect way to spend all of your money.
Why don't I already own this? The frame comes with everything you need to create a lasting memory of your favorite creature's paw print. The impression is made out of clay (100% safe for pets) that air-dries, so you won't have to worry about making a mess. The frame itself is made with solid wood and holds a 4x6 photo.
Promising review: "This kit is great for the money and I like the design. The material for the print is quite easy to work with and since my dog is small , I am able to make his front and hind paw and still have enough material to make a small print from my cat. The instructions said to wet your pet’s paw before pressing into the material but I find that it makes the material mushier. I got a cleaner impression from my cat if I don’t wet her paw. I changed the background backing color using leftover mat board. The material when dried, however, is foam like but can be trimmed with a sharp knife." —rockpainter

Who says a day of pampering should only be for us humans? This easy-to-use pet wand will help you shower your dog with love (and water) from the comfort of your home. My dog personally hates the car, so taking all 80 pounds of him to the groomer is often a struggle (to say the least). By using this attachment he can clean up without feeling anxious. The unique wand is curved to provide full coverage while washing your pet. It also has an 8-foot-long flexible hose for extended reach and be used indoors or outdoors.
Promising review: "Owners of long-haired/thick-coated breeds: This is what you've been looking for. I've waited over 20 years for this and have used everything from custom heads to kitchen wash heads. The water flow from this even at low pressure (40 psi) is excellent, adjustment on handle are well-thought-out, and this WILL get right through a thick undercoat." —Animal Doctor

How special is this!? I have other hats from this shop and have never been disappointed — the embroidery is done so carefully and beautifully. You'll need to send the shop owner a photo of your pet, then she'll hand draw it (amazing) and embroider it onto the hat. I can't think of a better way to pay tribute to your furry friend.

It includes three connected tunnels, built-in crinkle paper, a peephole, and a soft ball toy. It will give both you and your pal hours of enjoyment. It's made of durable, tear-resistant polyester and is framed with a sprung-steel. It's also collapsible and portable so you can take it with you to a friend's house.
Promising review: "This cat tunnel is great! I have bought a few other things like this in the past, but this is my favorite so far. First, it has 3 tunnels, whereas most are just a single one. One of the cat tunnels has a ball with a bell in it that the cats can bat around. One of the tunnels has a "crinkly" sound, which is fun to listen to when they walk through it. I have 3 cats with different personalities, and all 3 of them were checking it out and playing in it after having it out for only about 5 minutes." —KR

Like I said before, my dog Luke HATES the car. He has full-blown panic attacks and someone always has to sit in the back with him to keep him calm. Not to mention he's a golden retriever and we end up with hair EVERYWHERE. But we love him and don't want to leave him behind, which is where this hammock comes in. It can be easily installed in the back seat of any car, making dogs feel more comfortable while protecting the car from damage. This product is a game-changer.
Promising review: "Construction is sturdy and able to hold up under a lot of wear and tear. The zippers allow a 'kennel'-type setup and it has velcro openings for seat belt access. The zippers can withstand a lot of pressure — my dog is an 86 lb golden retriever and the weight stress on the zipper and straps for the seats didn't cause any tearing or damage even though they often supported his pure weight. I put the doorway mats on the bottom to give additional traction." —Candace Owens

The Furbo dog camera is actually life-changing. If you're in a long-distance relationship with your pet (like I am) or you're away for a period of time (or even just the day), it can truly hurt your heart to be away from your furry BFF. Thanks to this gadget, people like you and I can still feel connected to our pet! The camera allows you to see and hear your dog, talk to them, and to toss them a treat! It's amazing.

Promising review: "I bought this item for my girlfriend who is deployed overseas in Bahrain. She loves her dog more than anything so I knew this would be a perfect gift for her. The first night I had the Furbo I was awoken several times in the middle of the night by high-pitched squealing and giggling of glee from my girlfriend not being able to contain herself. She was so excited to see him, talk to him and give him treats and OH BOY does she like giving him treats! By the time she gets back from her deployment I am sure he will be overweight and won't be able to run to her when she gets home. Thanks Furbo, your product is awesome and we all love it!" —maria

Promising review: "PHENOMENAL!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WORKS!!!!!! My cat had kidney failure and was urinating all over in our apartment. I used the black light to find the urine, which worked perfectly and then sprayed this on it. The very second this product hit the urine, it was gone. I was so impressed I could not even believe my eyes. Unbelievable but it works like a charm. This works on any urine. Toddlers peeing outside potty accidentally? Try this!!! This is like magic, I cannot say enough amazing things about this. Anyone with a pet in an apartment needs this NOW!!! Save yourself hundreds of dollars and buy this bottle." —Greek Chic

Saying I'm obsessed with my dog is an understatement — but that guy wants water ALL THE TIME, usually when I'm in the middle of something. The guilt that a pet owner feels when they keep their furry pal waiting for just a moment is unmeasurable. This product helps prevent both of those issues! The free-falling water stream will allow your pet to drink whenever they feel so inclined, and encourage them to sip more often if they're usually reluctant to. Added bonus? It's dishwasher-safe!
Promising review: "What a blessing! My 20 lb male cat would not drink from a bowl — only from a dripping faucet. Naturally, that was a problem when he was home alone as I didn’t want to leave water running. I feed him wet food as well as dry food to get more liquid in him. Now — no problem! He drinks water all day from the lowest stream setting on his Drinkwell fountain." —Page

Put down the laser pointer and get your cat something you can play with together! This fun tower features multi-level tracks that will keep your kitty entertained for hours as they bat balls around. It's suitable for one or more cats and will help them have a more active lifestyle. AND think of all the great IG content you'll get!
Promising review: "Kettle has wiped himself out at least once a day trying to get at least one of the balls out of its slot, to no avail. And if this SIXTEEN POUND, long, tall, extremely narrow, all-muscle black cat can't break this toy, can't even move it off the place its suction cups stuck it to on my laminate floor, then short of a hammer and a determined two-leg bashing it to bits, it can't be broken — at least not by a domestic cat." —This am us

You don't have to wait for your pet to be gone (LET'S NOT EVEN TALK ABOUT IT) to get a piece of jewelry in their honor. I would happily wear one of these precious pendants any time!

This thermal bed mat is ideal for both cats and dogs and comes in a bunch of fun patterns. It features a lightweight core that reflects the animal's body heat back to them, so you don't have to worry about wires and electricity.
Promising review: "My 15-year-old kitty who's always cold took to her Christmas present immediately. I first put it on my lap and she hopped right up and didn't want to leave for an hour while I watched TV. Then I left the mat on the sofa and she stayed there instead of retreating to her usual hiding spot in the cabinet. Now the trick will be for me to reclaim my seat on the sofa!" —Body-n-soul

One of my all time favorite Etsy purchases has been this custom ornament of my dog. I loved it so much, I've since ordered two more for friends and family members.

If you and your dog enjoy going on walks — rain or shine — then you definitely need this coat. It will keep your pup dry and you won't have to spend time drying them off when you get back! It's available for dogs of all sizes, is easy to put on, has a cozy warm fleece lining, is reversible, and honestly just looks super cute!
Promising review: "A very well-made coat and very warm. My dog can move around freely in it. I have an 18 lb Shih Tzu and he fit perfectly in the medium. I haven't had any issues with it, and his harness clip can easily be accessed through the hole on the back." —Sean and Maureen C.

If you haven't heard of this toy yet, prepare to be amazed. Essentially, it is a plush toy that features a log with three to six squeaky squirrels. Stuff those little guys inside the log and let your pup go to town trying to sniff 'em out! This is 100% the next thing I'm buying for my dog — it has 8,500+ positive reviews! It also comes in four different sizes so you can find the one that fits your dog best.

Promising review:"I only bought this because of the high ratings and low price. As soon as I showed my dog the toy he went crazy. I hide the squirrels in the trunk and he loves shoving his snout in the opening and pulling the squirrels out. Maybe he feels like he's hunting, or perhaps it makes him feel like an apex predator, but he loves it, lol. I bought the small size for my 10 lbs dog. The squirrels are just the right size and fit perfectly into his mouth. He has enjoyed countless hours with this toy and its almost time to buy a replacement." —escar

More often than not, my dog is hiding in my parents' walk-in closet bundled up in a blanket of his choosing. And you know what? He (and all pets) deserves an upgrade, damnit! This blanket features a double thickness, so it is SUPER soft and excellent for making your pet comfortable. It's made of fleece and flannel, plus it's machine-washable!
Promising review: "Our rescue puppy loves her new fuzzy, fluffy blanket! Lately she has discovered that our couch is more comfy than her dog bed. So we got this to put on the end cushion and let her rest on the couch! Also we lay it over her bed inside her crate for a great night's sleep. Seems to be made well, haven't washed yet but don't think it will change the quality. My daughter wants one for herself because it's so super soft!" —crazy mama

I purchased this BarkBox for my beloved dog a few months ago and he is STILL freaking out over these toys. This set comes with four themed toys and a treat bag.

Promising review: "The tree on top of the taxi is the only toy she ever plays with. The current tree has been washed, sewed, and squeak replaced a handful of times.

Promising review: "Could you ask for a more perfect gift for the dog lover in your life? I bought a pack of these stickers with my dog's face on them for Fathers Day. When my dad opened his present, he burst out laughing and didn't stop for a good 30 seconds. He was overjoyed to see his beloved little Winston (Norwich Terrier) on a sticker. The quality is very good — the sticker is quite strong and does not peel at edges. It comes with 4 sizes and none of the stickers were grainy with the picture. It looked exactly like the picture I uploaded and I wouldn't ask for more from his product.

It did s great job of masking that wet dog smell! We can’t wait to try some of the other great scents!

Never had a cat before, brought in a 10+ year old stray from my old apartment who I found out is FIV and Feline Leukemia positive but he is the sweetest cat ever and I fell in love with him so wanted to spoil him and bought him this. He loves it even more than I could have hoped. Spends several hours a day sleeping or just perched on it and hits it with his claws every time he jumps on. So adorable. Have had it for a couple months and it's held up really well. Cool that when the top is worn out I can just flip it over and it's like having a brand new scratcher again. He's a pretty big/long cat so I was unsure how well he'd fit on it but it's absolutely perfect. Will definitely be buying another if this one ever wears out!" —Super Bon Bon
