1. A double-layered litter mat with a honeycomb design that'll work tirelessly to catch all of the excess litter your cat may track outside of the box, rather than leaving traces all over your floor. When you're ready to clean it, simply press in on the sides to open up the mat and dump the trapped litter back into your litter box or throw it away. Easy peasy!
BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Jenae Sitzes says: "I've been using this trapper mat for months now, and while it's pretty much impossible to eliminate all litter from your home if you own even one cat, let alone multiple, this mat has made keeping the floor of my litter box room MUCH more manageable. Unlike other mats, where the litter just kind of sits on top and eventually gets kicked elsewhere, this mat is designed so that the litter falls through the holes and stays inside the mat until you're ready to dump it. It's made out of an EVA material that's supposed to be gentle enough for cat paws, and my two kitties don't seem to have a problem walking on it. I *highly* recommend getting the larger 30-by-24-inch mat to extend the coverage area — I initially got the smaller one but went back for the larger size, and it's perfect. Note that the mat will probably have a fold down the middle when it first arrives, but just give it some time and weigh it down with something if needed; it'll lay flat."
Promising review: "I have three indoor cats, and they used to track cat litter everywhere in my house! I mean, it was everywhere! Since I've been using this mat, the amount of cat litter that gets tracked around has been reduced by about 95%. I'm not exaggerating. I used to have to vacuum up the tracked litter several times a day. Now I vacuum it up about once a week and it's still less than I used to have in 1 day. I wish I had gotten this mat years ago. My cats even love the texture of it, and roll around on it frequently. You don't really even have to empty it, you can vacuum the litter out of it with a dust buster or hose attachment. It truly is miraculous!" —Amazon Customer

2. A ChomChom roller to gather up the pet hair that's accumulated on your things, making your home look like a giant dust bunny. It also has a little compartment that stores the fur for easy cleaning!
Promising review: "I have had many different pet hair rollers and this beats everything hands down. The compartment that traps the hair is genius. With many pet hair removal tools the hair sort of flies in the air a little, you have handfuls, or have to clean the brush on something...this baby traps the fur in a little compartment that is easy to empty. I sent links to this product to lots of my friends who are owned by cats and told them it will be life-changing." —DLB
Get it from Amazon for $28.95.
3. A dog car seat so your pup can have their own designated spot in the car to sit without you having to worry about them rolling around the backseat at every turn.
Promising review: "Years ago, I saw an Instagram dog who had this bed and rode along when his owner took him on car rides and road trips. I used to use a regular dog bed in the passenger seat, but one day, out of nowhere, my dog developed car anxiety. She went from being my errand buddy and riding along with me with no issues to panting, climbing up the passenger door to look out the window, and a couple of times even jumped into my lap! This is one of the best purchases I have ever made. The hook attaches to the dog's harness so she isn't able to jump up or jump out of the bed. It's also lifted so she's able to look out the window. Keeping her in place and able to look out has helped tremendously with her car anxiety, and I honestly don't know how I lived without this product. I highly recommend it, especially at this price point. Love it!" —Joseph Smorol
Get it from Amazon for $57.86+ (available in five colors).
4. Or a backseat car extender for bigger pups who need way more more leg room to spread out. The best part is that it ensures your pup won't go flying off the seat if you have to slam the brakes.
Promising reviews: "Can't live without! I wish we would’ve found this amazing product years ago! It gives us peace of mind that our dog won’t lose his footing and fall between the front console and the back seat. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!!!" —Brian R.
"It is a good product, and I wish I had it years ago. The ride is easier on the dog as well as myself. She can sit comfortably, and since she is not standing on the center console, I don't have to worry about her ending up in the front seat if I have to stop short. As a side benefit, it makes it much easier to put things in the back seat of the truck (golf clubs, overnight bags, etc.) because of the flat surface, and I still have the room to put my backpack of tools and things underneath." —Dan A. Lichtner
Get it from Amazon for $92.99+ (available in two colors).
5. An odor-eliminating spray to lift stains and smells wicked fast. Each spray releases bacteria that feeds on the ammonia left behind after your pet's accidents, eliminating the urine completely and deterring your pet from peeing in the same spot again. Huzzah!
Carpet messes are undoubtedly the worst to clean up, but you can also use this on clothes and other surfaces like concrete and hardwood. Just be sure to follow the instructions carefully for noncarpet use.
Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business named after the Magleby family's pets Rocco, a Labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys. Check out our in-depth Rocco & Roxie Professional Strength Stain & Odor Eliminator review for more!
Promising review: "I honestly have no idea how we managed without this product before. We’ve tried most everything, from carpet cleaners to products that just cover scent. Nothing truly worked or lasted to get the cat urine odor out of our carpets. We were at our wit’s end when it began to happen in our own room — one corner of the room has become nearly unbearable. We didn’t even want to enter our own room. I purchased this product as a Hail Mary, hoping the positive reviews were true. THEY ALL UNDERSTATED THIS PRODUCT!! My fiancé followed the instructions down to the T and the smell is COMPLETELY GONE. Not even the slightest hint of urine anymore. I admit, I’m more of a citrus/floral girl for smells so this more minty scent isn’t my style, but the fragrance doesn’t linger too long. But what remains is a completely neutralized smell. In addition, the carpet seems generally cleaner. I am so grateful to this product." —Amazon Customer
Get a 32-ounce bottle from Amazon for $19.97 (also available in a gallon size).
6. A motion-activated spray deterrent that'll keep your cat's late-night scratching sessions at your door finally at bay. It's actually really cool— when your cat reaches within three feet, the device will release a harmless spray that'll scare them off and ideally teach them to not do it again.
It's a somewhat pricey solution, but if you're someone who can't get a good night's sleep because of your cat's late-night antics, this might just put an end to your issue for good. Note: it uses four AAA batteries to operate.
Promising review: "This product is awesome! I wish I had known of it three years ago. As a newlywed, I inherited five cats which love to sleep on our bed (never had cats before). Their constant rhythmical motion of their paws pushing in and out against our blankets kept me awake all night. I started putting them out of the room and closing the doors. This brought more sleepless nights staring at the ceiling as they would not stop scratching the door to be let back in. Nothing has work to deter this behavior until I learned about the PetSafe SSScat. It worked as advertised, flawlessly from day one. What kept me awake the first night was the sound of the psssssss compressed air scaring the heck of each one of the cats and their subsequent landing. Apparently each had to test the SSScat and when it worked, they jumped high up in the air, based on the loud thump they made when landing and taking off down the hall. It was hilarious! After only two nights, I can now sleep soundly because there are no more cats scratching my doors. When we open the bedroom doors in the morning, we find five cats sitting in front of the door, just out of the SSSCat motion detector range, patiently waiting to be fed and loved." —Jose Esteban
Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (replacement cans available for $16.95).
7. A pet gate to keep all the annoying things, like that small human who always wants hugs, *away* from your pup so they can get their much-needed quiet time. It even has a teeny tiny door so your cat can get through to the different areas without an issue!
Promising review: "I wish we bought this gate years ago since it was a constant game of figuring out how to keep the dog away from the cat's food and box. We even occasionally used a rollaway suitcase in a doorway as our makeshift solution. FINALLY — peace, cleanliness, and less money spent on extra cat food that our dog would devour every time she got a chance. Great gate!" —HillsideHaven
Get it from Amazon for $44.99.
8. Or a clever Door Buddy latch that'll holds the door open juuuust wide enough for your cat to get through but still narrow enough to keep the pup out. This is ideal if you have issues with your cat needing some space to eat or use their litter box without disturbances. The strap is adjustable so you can find the gap size you need!
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 the 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
Get it from Amazon for $16.94.
9. A set of transparent couch protectors because it seems like *nothing* will deter your kitty from the siren calls of your upholstered couch. This includes 10 large adhesive pieces you can apply around the areas they're usually reaching for, keeping them off your furniture *and* your couch safe from harm!
Promising reviews: "Easy to use and is the first thing that has ever protected my sofa from cat paws! I wish I’d bought this product five years ago!" —Carol Palmer
"Our cat was destroying the corner of our brand-new sectional, so I was excited to try these out. I didn’t want to try sprays or anything with pins that puncture the couches. I was a little worried about the quality of the adhesive, but the screen has been holding up, and my cat no longer scratches that corner. There are plenty of screens in the package to add more if she finds a new spot." —NKakanis
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $20.99 (available in multiple pack sizes).
10. An all-natural itch relief shampoo bar to nourish and moisturize your pup's skin while getting their fur clean and looking ~oh so luscious~. Do we expect anything less from Katy Pawry?
Simple Sage Dog Treats is a small business based in Norcross, Georgia, that specializes in all-natural paw balms and soaps for dogs with allergies or skin conditions.
Promising review: "Great product! Very helpful! AMAZING! My dog doesn’t itch anymore, and surprisingly, it’s soothing for her. Usually after the bath she sleeps or lays down for hours. Just great." —T. French
Get it from Simply Sage Dog Treats on Etsy for $9.49.
11. A pair of food storage containers that they'll endlessly thank you for because it means their kibble will no longer get stale and tasteless. Our cats will literally refuse to eat their dry food if it gets even a smidge stale.
You get a large 33-quart bin and a smaller, stackable 12-quart bin, so you could store dog and cat food separately, or just use the top bin to store other pet supplies. You could also use the bottom bin for storing a cat's litter bag and the top bin for food — the options here are endless! The wheels on the bottom bin make it easy to roll around, a helpful feature for those with limited mobility or less arm strength. A scoop is included!
Promising review: "This is AWESOME. I wish I found this years ago. The castors roll well, even on carpet. The smaller bin is a great addition. We keep it on top of the big bin and fill it up as needed. Less bending over to feed the herd of puppies. The scoop is sturdy and easy to handle without being flimsy or too heavy. It's been dropped by little hands repeatedly and no cracks or breaks. Honestly, I cannot find a negative on it. I really like it." —Amy T
Get it from Amazon for $36.99 (available in eight colors).
12. A Furbo, a treat-tossing pet camera so you can keep an eye on your pet even when you're not home. With its 160-degree wide-angle view, night vision, and real-time barking alerts, you'll know exactly what your pup is up to.
An optional, add-on subscription unlocks even more functionality with the camera, including tracking specific dog activities (like when they jump on furniture), alerting you when a person comes into view, taking selfies when the dog is looking at the camera, and creating a 60-second doggie diary that shows you the highlights of your dog's day. A 90-day free trial of this subscription is included!
Promising reviews: "We love our Furbo. Got it for Christmas. No problems. Can't believe we went 12 years without one. Highly recommend." —John Iodice
"I currently have two Great Danes, and the Furbo is absolutely essential when I leave the house. I had one that got sick when I was gone, so I was able to see that and get back home. I have a puppy now that requires lots of check-ins, and I am alerted to any extra movement, barking, etc. It also alerts me if a person is there, which definitely came in handy about a year ago when I was not expecting to see someone there. It also alerts me if the smoke detectors go off! I can't live without this!" —Lori L. Young
Get it from Amazon for $199.
13. Dog goggles (DOGGLES?!) to keep their precious eyeballs protected from the wind (and debris) while they stare out the window and contemplate how amazing they really are. Life's ~ruff~ when you're adorable and have no responsibilities.
Paw 2 Paws is a small business that specializes in stylish and affordable pet gear.
Promising review: "The sun glasses fit my Newfoundland dog. Spud let me put them on and tolerated them well. We will be using them this summer when camping in the desert, and it should keep the sun exposure down. Thank you." —Colette Taylor
Get it from Paw 2 Paws on Etsy for $9.99 (available in six colors).
14. A UV black-light flashlight so the ruminating thought of "I swear it smells like pee in this random spot" won't plague you any longer. We got you now, Pee-casso.
Promising reviews: "I should have had this years ago. It is a flashlight, so it does not clean. I did not even know that the male dog had done a sprinkle in the living room. This flashlight lit it right up! You will be able to see the pet stains immediately. Absolute must have! My daughter got one after I told her about it. Same thing! Surprise areas that the dogs had stained." —Boomer
"OMG, this is disgusting!!! I hope this isn't all just cat pee that shows up cause there is a lot! I bought this because I thought my cat was peeing in one room and couldn't find the exact spot so I bought this. Found the spot and more. Would recommend." —Momof3boys
Get it from Amazon for $11.69.
15. A cord protector that'll keep your sneaky fur baby from nibbling on all of your cables around the house. If they even dare ruin my Stranger Things time...
Promising reviews: "Easy to use. Can't believe I've survived all these years without this. Highly recommend." —pangochic
"So I have one of those cats who chews on electrical cords. I can't begin to tell you how many cords she has chewed through — alarm clocks, lamps, and all of the charging cords for our phones. I was pretty sure I'd find her fried one day. I was hoping for ANY kind of help to get her to stop chewing, and then I came across these sleeves. They're easy to install and can usually wrap around more than one cord at a time, which is helpful for the TV equipment (cable box and DVD player). Just open the sleeve and slide the cords inside. So far, my cat hasn't chewed any cords since I encased everything in these sleeves! Be sure to have scissors available for install, since you can cut these to any length you want. I've purchased this same item twice, to outfit all of the exposed cords I could find!" —impossible girl
Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in 14 sizes and three colors).
16. A dog paw cleaning device so you can keep those paws squeaky clean after a long day of rolling around in dirt and mud in the yard and not have to worry about them getting your new shag rug dirty.
Promising review: "I can’t believe I’ve had a dog for six years without having this paw cleaner. It’s not only easy to use and clean, but it cleans paws thoroughly and fast. Huge fan. Definitely recommend." —Zach S.
Get it from Amazon for $10.60+ (available in three sizes, six colors, and two sizes with or without a lid).
17. A soothing anxiety jacket that will add moderate compression on your doggo's body, providing them a sense of safety and comfort, reducing their anxiety during scary times — like thunderstorms, fireworks, another Kanye West tweet. Just scary things, okay?
Promising reviews: "I honestly should have bought this YEARS ago, but I was skeptical that it would somehow magically help my 105-pound German Shepherd who is TERRIFIED of thunder and fireworks... WOW, just WOW! She was a completely DIFFERENT DOG this New Year's celebration, and if I could hear the fireworks, I know she could too! She did get a little nervous on some of the HUGE bangs but again, night and day difference for her!" —BS
"I HIGHLY recommend this for any dogs who have that nervous energy or get overstimulated; that is where it has been most effective for us. I do suggest it for more 'typical' anxieties as well; it has helped cut out the anxious pacing and shaking, but it's not a miracle cure (at least for us) that makes them immune to those triggers. Definitely worth trying, we are kicking ourselves for not getting one years ago!" —Christine K. (Psst — read this full review for more deets; it's long but helpful!)
Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in seven sizes and two colors).
18. A clear toy blocker so you can ~finally~ stop all of their toys from "accidentally" rolling under the couch, oven, and even the fridge.
It can also help discourage them from hiding under furniture!
Promising reviews: "WISH I WOULD HAVE FOUND THIS YEARS AGO FOR MY DOGS! I recently bought it because my 11-month-old is constantly throwing stuff and pushing things under couch. I was able to install this while the baby was climbing all over me and haven't had any problems with adhesive. Also keeps my two small dogs from hiding their bones and toys under the couch! Perfectly invisible. Literally life changing! I can finally throw away self-made blockers, which were pool noodles that always moved." —Crystal K
"A must-have for ALL pet owners. This contraption is genius and will save cat (and dog) owners insane amounts of time and frustration retrieving toys. We used this beneath our oven and it works PERFECTLY. Cat can't destroy it (the way she shredded the foam insulation we had stuffed under there before), and we no longer have to get the yardstick out when literally all of her toys are 'gone.' Yes, this is a challenge to install, but 100% worth it. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat." —Allison Goldstein
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in three sizes).
19. An automatic water fountain that'll make staying hydrated for your fur baby waaaay easier. The taller size makes it ergonomically ideal, it's ultra quiet, and it just looks so cute!
It comes with three replacement filters and a mat.
Promising review: "I wish I would’ve bought this years ago!! I have a cat who loves to play in water. He now gets the running water feel without having to dig in the water and make a mess. Amazing product and great buy." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $26.99 (available in two colors).
20. An automatic cat feeder so you no longer have to worry if you've fed your fur baby or not. It holds up to 17 cups and can release food up to four times a day!
It plugs into the wall, but it also accepts batteries in case of power outages. Also, you can record a 10-second clip of your voice saying something like, "Maggie! It's time to eat!", so they get a consistent verbal cue that they recognize.
Promising review: "We held off for years telling ourselves our cat would eventually accept his feeding time if we were consistent in ignoring him. Well, here we are. Wish we bought this sooner; best money I've ever spent. Plus, we can more easily leave our cat for a few days without worrying as much. The battery backup is a nice feature, and it's easy to program, and once you get it set up, you basically don't need to do anything except monitor the amount of remaining food. My only slight complaint is that the bowl itself is a hollow plastic, so the food hitting the bowl was actually loud enough in the other room to wake us up. So we now just have it dispense onto the mat we have." —Jen E
Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available in two colors and two sizes).
21. Catnip-infused felted balls sure to be the perfect toy for them to bat around, *and* you don't have to deal with obnoxious bells and whistles like other toys!
Simply B Vermont is a small business from Montpelier, Vermont that specializes in accessories and toys for cats and dogs.
Promising review: "These little catnip scented balls are the perfect size and the perfect scent for my kitties. I bought some for me and some for my grand kitties, and they all absolutely love them!! Shipping was fast, and they arrived in perfect condition. I would highly recommend this product and this shop." —Jesselcat11
Get it from Simply B Vermont on Etsy for $14+ (available in two tin colors).
22. Or 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!
Matatabi is a plant native to the mountains Japan and China and grows like an ivy on trees and rocks. It is more commonly used in East Asia instead of catnip.
Meowy Janes is a small New Jersey–based business that sells all natural catnip and alternatives such as whole Silver Vine fruit.
Promising review: "This was one of the best products for my cats! They loved each stick every single time. Best money spent on this product! Hands down! I definitely recommend!" —Jesse Sanchez
Get it from Meowy Janes on Etsy for $10.97 or from Amazon for $9.97.
23. A robotic vacuum because don't you already have enough on your plate to add vacuuming up all the fur around the house? Not only will it help keep the house clean of dirt, dust, and fur on a schedule you can program, but the fact that it's waaay quieter than a normal vacuum will make your pet feel less anxious when it kicks on.
This robo vac can easily move between hard floors and low-pile carpets/rugs and can pick up all the accumulated dust, dirt, and hair while you go about your day.
Promising reviews: "Love this little vacuum! Don’t know how I have lived without one of these for all these years. Highly recommend for busy households with teenagers and dog hair." —Lori
"So we have three cats and three large breed dogs. I was seven months pregnant with a 10-month old at home when I realized I had no energy trying to keep the floors clean vacuuming every day so my baby could crawl freely. A friend of mine got this vacuum and was really pleased with it so I decided to try it as well. Oh my god...I fell in love instantly!! We have uneven floors/drop steps and it gets around no problem. With all of our pets I choose to run it at night and sometimes once in the afternoon when the kids are napping. This thing is amazing and picking up everything. I really don't find it to be too loud and I don't mind the maintenance cleaning it requires from working in our house with all the pets. If you're on the fence on this purchase, just give it a try. You'll wonder why you ever lived without it before." —ECACLAN
Get it from Amazon for $135.99.
24. A tear-proof screen made of tough polyester yarn that'll not only keep your pets from bolting through the screen at the sight of a critter, but give *you* peace of mind knowing it won't happen!
Promising review: "I have cats who like to hang on my screens, and this stuff has held up now for almost two months without even one spot that has ripped. It is a little darker than my old screen, but once it was in window, you can hardly tell difference. Regret not getting this years ago." —jen k
Get it from Amazon for $16+ (available in three sizes).
25. An LED collar so you always know where they are when you take them out for their nightly walk. The collar has different light options, is adjustable, and rechargeable with up to five hours of use.
Promising reviews: "Fantastic buy for my black lab! I can find and see her anywhere. One of the best things I have ever bought for her. I take her running at night quite often, and it is perfect. It is very easy to recharge as well. Extremely happy I bought it for her! I wish I had done so years ago!" —Mn greeneyes
"I initially bought a couple of collars because I live on five acres and my older dog cannot hear when I call him and I needed a way to find him in the dark. I ended up buying enough for all four of my dogs because it was so much fun to watch them all over and find them easily at night if they were far from the house. We have a totally blind 5-year-old Australian Shepherd that wears his (green) collar almost every time he goes out, and it is no exaggeration to say this collar saved his life when he fell in our icy pond two days ago. Without this collar we would have lost our sweet boy and may never have found his little body. In addition to saving my drowning dog, months ago I found my smaller dog on the highway outside our fence at 5 in the morning in dark because his blinking red collar. I guess I can say it saved one and may have saved another of my dogs." —Will
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in four sizes and nine colors).
26. A snout soother, because, like their paws, their snout tends to become dry and (painfully) cracked, so it's important to keep this area healthy. It can even help protect and heal broken skin!
Promising reviews: "First of all, I don’t know how to write this without sounding like I’m on their payroll. Second, I wish I bought this light years ago!! The difference in my dog’s nose is indescribable, and I forgot to take a before picture so now no one will believe me! It was like watching a chrysalis turn into the smoothest most beautiful butterfly of a nose you could ever imagine! Just. Buy. It." —Amazon Customer
"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 $5.95.
27. A pair of dog leggings (!!!) that'll not only protect your dog's paws from the elements, but also keeps their legs free of dirt and mud (or snow!), so they don't track it right back into your house. They connect over your dog's back for a snug, adjustable fit so you don't ever have to worry about them falling off like typical booties. The bottoms also have waterproof grips to keep your pup safe on slippery, rainy days.
Walkee Paws is a small biz started by pet owner Lisa Baronoff. You may have seen them on Shark Tank!
Promising review: "FINALLY boots that will stay on my baby!!! He doesn't walk funny in them either!! Perfect for the snow and the rain! So simple to get on and off! Where have you been? I wish I had these years ago!! Don't wait!! These are a MUST HAVE for your baby." —Traci W.
Get them from Walkee Paws for $39.99+ (available in four sizes and eight styles).
28. A broom for pet hair to make your jaw drop when you see just how much hair your little rascal has been shedding into the grasps of your rug's fibers. There is a rake side and a squeegee side which both effectively do the deed.
Promising review: "I don't know how I've lived without this for the years I've had my dogs. I've always wondered if my golden retriever's hair was embedded in the carpet. I would ALWAYS have hair on my socks when I walked around the house. So I decided to buy this little gadget to see if what I thought was right. I'm not gonna lie, it takes a lot out of you. It's a good workout lol so I couldn't do the whole house at once, but I'm excited to do the other rooms! It seems sturdy and well made, but I could see why some people had issues with it breaking, because you need to use a good bit of force to work the hair out. One thing I DON'T like is that if you have white painted trim, it will leave black scuffs on them :( I'm hoping that buffs out." —Nichole
Get it from Amazon for $12.98 (available in six other styles and sets).
Check out our FURemover broom review for more satisfying photos of the hair it removed from one BuzzFeed Shopping editor's carpet.
29. A waterless dry shampoo because the very idea of bathing a cat sounds like a literal nightmare to most of us, and this bad boy will clean their fur without all the hassle.
Promising reviews: "I found out about this product from BuzzFeed and decided to try it on my short-hair cat. As described, product is easy to use and her fur smells great and is SO soft. Wish I knew about this product earlier." —SYK
"Vet said I needed to start bathing my cat. She's older now and doesn't do the best job. No matter how much she grooms herself, she still feels a little greasy and has a lot of dandruff. This foam is so easy to apply. It goes on wet but a good rub followed by her favorite brush and it was easy-breezy. Her coat is clean and smells fresh now. No more heavy greasy feeling. Seems like the dandruff is not as bad either. Wish I knew about this years ago." —Runner
Get it from Amazon for $9.49.
30. A Litter Genie litter disposal system to save your nostrils from the wrath of cat pee. We know it. We hate it. Heck, even your cat hates it.
It can hold up to 14 days of cat litter for one cat, so you may fill it up quicker depending on how many kitties you have.
Promising review: "Many years ago, I had a Diaper Genie for when my son was in diapers. Imagine my surprise finding the Litter Genie. It's ingenious. I'm so glad I found it. It's so easy to set up and use. I have it timed so that the waste goes in the trash once or twice a week, which is a lot better than every day. The refills are pretty economical; they last a long time and are easy to replace. I don't know how I did without it. Thank you, Litter Genie!!!" —K.C. Clancy
Get it from Amazon for $19.10. Liner refills are also available from Amazon for $20.85 (about a six-month supply).
31. Grooming gloves because how annoying is it to be relaxing on the couch and see tufts of fur flying around? These gloves will not only take off loose fur from your pet's coat, but will give them a lovely massage too!
Promising review: "These gloves work great! I usually only use one at a time cause it makes the process much easier. I have a Siamese cat who sheds like crazy so I groomed him a couple of days in a row and it made a huge difference. I groom him a couple of times a week now and that's about all I need to do. It's nice to be able to pick up my cat without being covered in hair. Wish I would have bought these years ago." —Amazon Customer

32. And finally, a battery-powered nail grinder that'll make taking care of your pup's nails *so* much easier than using regular clippers. It'll get the nails perfectly trimmed without running the risk of cutting them too low, causing pain and bleeding.
Promising review: "I just received this in the mail yesterday. I feel so dumb for not buying this years ago. It is amazing. The Dremel is not going to be immediately loved by all dogs. With love, patience, and training, this Dremel let me cut their nails, and I don’t have to risk their little nails falling off because they are too long. Yes, it could take two people, and I have tiny dogs! If you have a dog who puts up a fight, I do think the Dremel is the way to go, but don’t expect them to automatically not put up a fight. You may need to train them to be comfortable with the Dremel and having their paws 'played with' before you actually cut. If your dog's nails aren’t as long as my dogs were, I say take your time and train them right. You won’t regret it. The Dremel is so fast and safe. Easy to charge and maintain. If you have dogs who are rescues and you have no idea why they hate nail cuts, or you have one who has had their quick cut too often, so you can’t cut their nails at all, try the Dremel, but know it may not be all peaches and cream as you use it. You may need to bribe them like a toddler in a grocery store during the evening rush just before dinner time and you just want to get home. 'Fine have the candy bar!' But I digress." —J4
