    39 Pet Products That'll Make You Think "Why Didn't I Buy This Years Ago"

    Don't terrier-self up about waiting so long to buy these—better now than never.

    1. A de-shedding FURminator (in cat, dog, AND small animal versions) for people who are tired of living in a house overrun by fur balls in every corner.

    2. A nail grinder kit to trim your pup's nails without the worry of cutting them too short which could result in bleeding and future anxiety about nail trims. The grinder will safely grind their nails down to the desired length *and* is wireless for easy maneuvering around the puppo.

    3. Matatabi cat chew sticks that are a perfect alternative for those kitties who don't really like catnip. Just rub some of the bark off the sticks to release the natural oils and watch your cat play away! Bonus: it also helps maintain healthy teeth!

    4. A tennis ball launcher because your dog (and your arm) is really tired of your lame throws. This launcher will add speed and distance to your throw so you can really see Spot run.

    5. A pet crate that doubles as an end table so your furry friend can have a cozy little room of their own to lay in while still being nearby when you're bingeing your favorite Netflix show.

    15. An obedience recall leash so you can have some peace of mind while teaching your pup to run and return. The leashes go up to 100 feet (!!!) so you can really wear out even your ridiculously energetic pup.

    30. A pet urine detector light so you don't have to guess where your pets may have done the deed in your home ever again. We got you now, Fido.

    31. A dog anxiety jacket that applies gentle, constant pressure to help calm your pup's anxiety, fear, and over-excitement they may experience. This works great for vet visits, thunderstorms, fireworks, or any situation where your dog is feeling uneasy.

    38. A dog-feeding reminder, because sometimes it's hard to remember if we really ~did~ feed the pup. Especially when they always act like they haven't eaten in 64 days. Nice try, Frito Paws.
