We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page.
1. A hairball relief treat, because some cats, no matter how often you brush them, need a bit of help suppressing hairballs. Consider purchasing this for your long-haired kitty who seems to produce hairballs at lightning speed.
Promising review: "My cat is a bit picky with food or treats in general, so I was very excited about his reaction to these. He loves them! Now he gets excited every time he hears a crinkling bag since he thinks he’s getting one of these treats. And I like that they are small, too." —Treats
Price: $4.99
2. A 41-inch tall pet gate that closes automatically, making it perfect for ensuring that your extra large puppy stays out of the kitchen while you run around preparing a decadent meal.
Promising review: "I brought the gate for my grand-fur-babies (my grandson/wife's puppies) so they could be out playing and running about in their own room while my grandson and wife were working. I'm not a fan of dogs having to be in their cages all day while their parents work. The gate fits perfectly in the doorway to their large laundry room and I like it because of its height. One of the fur-babies likes to jump and with this gate she can't jump over it. Very happy with my purchase and I know my grand-fur-babies are happy too! Great deal!" —Luna
Price: $39.99 (originally $44.99; available in three colors)
3. A mesh harness, because no one likes the feeling of a too-tight collar. Consider purchasing this harness to provide pain-free walks to your pupperino, and extra comfort with its padded mesh.
4. An interactive dog bowl for your pup who seems to inhale their food rather than eat. This bowl has slots that slow down your dog's eating, ensuring that they are chewing their food for proper digestion. But the best part? It's dishwasher-safe, meaning you'll have one less dish to worry about as you're tackling your chores.
Promising review: “My girl could inhale a cup of food in under a minute. Worried about her stomach flipping, I knew I needed to find a way to slow her down. The first time she ate with this bowl, it took her 20 minutes to finish. Now she takes about 10 minutes. It also gets her engaged and thinking. She was rescued from a puppy mill, so any additional stimulation is needed. Great price for quality. Thank you for an awesome product!” —Dollysmom
Price: $7.50+ (originally $14.99, available in two sizes)
5. A dog stain and odor remover, because although your little fur baby can do NO wrong EVER, sometimes their, ahem, mistakes are a nuisance. This stain and odor remover contains enzymes that eat away at foul odors on carpets, hard floors, furniture, and fabrics. The result? A stain-free space that smells like lemons, thanks to the citrus scent added into this bad boy.
Promising review: "This spray has the most amazing non-disinfectant fresh scent. Besides working well to remove doggie surprises and leaving no residue, it actually is a wonderful stain remover in general. I sprayed a year-old black mark (which had eluded all other cleaning attempts) on my suede cloth couch, left it on for a couple of minutes and wiped off the stain completely. Will definitely purchase again." —MagicMom
Price: $10.15
6. A cactus scratching post, because you have to give your kitties something to file their nails on, just so that they're not carving up your couch every single day. So why *not* give them a scratching post that also matches your funky decor?
Promising review: "I bought this because it was different from other cat scratchers. I was hopeful to get new cats away from my chair, and, well, this cute green cactus is so adorable. My large brown tabby went right to it! He started scratching immediately and batting the pom-pom that was attached. My other cat likes it too! I am happy with this cute scratcher." —Ksarock
Price: $16.99+ (available in two sizes)
7. A window hammock, just in case your kitty is the type to lounge around on your window sill all day. Not only does this hammock provide your kitty with an easy way to access their favorite view, but it also functions as a scratch pad.
Promising review: "All three cats love these shelves! I replaced inferior designs with these because the suction cups STICK! Cats feel secure, nap happily all hours of the day and night. In fact, my large 13-lb Smokey prefers to sleep on this at night instead of my bed. I have large windows all over my house, and these beds are in seven of them, sometimes hung at different heights so the cats can jump from one to the other and use them as a cat highway. They even serve as scratch pads when the mood strikes them. They fold up when I want to shut curtains or blinds. Great product!" —Sassy
Price: $30.99 (originally $42.99)
8. A top-entry litter box that will look cute in your small apartment while keeping your space as tidy as possible. If litter particles scattering around your home is a concern for you, opt for a top-entry litter box that captures litter onto the lid as your little kitty exits.
Promising review: "I’ve had this litter box for almost a year now and it’s still holding up great! The top catches most of the litter that comes out, I have a mat under the box to catch the rest. I ordered the large and it works great! Very roomy, easy to clean, and sturdy! The top pops right off if you press the buttons on the sides which is great — and it’s still sturdy enough to take a big boy jumping on top to go potty." —Jess
Price: $24.99+ (available in three colors and two sizes)
9. A fuzzy pet bed, in case your animal is the type to need a warm embrace at all times. This plush bed provides your pet with comfort and support, while the fuzzy feeling and donut shape eases their anxiety. Plus, it's machine-washable!
Promising review: "I bought this bed for Maya in preparation for her recovery from being spayed. She loved it immediately. She loves snuggling in it and hiding her toys and treats on the sides. I have to look for treats every night to make sure there are none in there. One day she decided to take her food and eat it there, since she was so down after her surgery. I thought that would be the end of the bed, but I put it in the washed it based on the instructions and it came out like new. She spends most of her time in that bed." —Maya
Price: $29.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and in three colors)
10. A bag of peanut butter chews, for the dog in your life who might be sensitive to rawhide, but still wants to reap the tooth-strengthening benefits of a chew treat. It's a win-win situation with this chew stick — it is rawhide-free *and* it's packed with vitamins and minerals to ensure your puppy stays in tip-top health.
Promising review: "I have a Shih-tzu and she's pretty picky about what treats she likes. I bought these to try them out and right away she ate it. Good healthy treat. I really like that it's peanut butter flavored as well. I just break it in half and usually give her half a piece at once." —Jeff
Price: $4.68+ (available in two sizes)
11. A yellow raincoat for your four-legged best friend, because yellow raincoats are a staple in everyone's wardrobe, even your dog's. This raincoat will have them looking SO CUTE while protecting them from downpours as you take your morning stroll.
Promising review: "This raincoat fits comfortably and drapes very nicely over my small dog. It's light-weight and easy to wear and move around in. My dog prances when she wears it! The material is pleasant to the touch. I like the bright yellow, it looks so cute like a child's raincoat. It serves the purpose to keep the raindrops off my dog's back, because the rain upsets her when she feels it on her back. Yes, I would definitely say it's a fine raincoat!" —FunBabysitter
Price: $12.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXXL)
12. A jar of doggie ear wipes so that you can easily clear your dog's ears of gunk. This formula whisks away grime while soothing the skin with aloe vera and eucalyptus.
This jar contains 100 wipes.
Promising review: "Our dog has sensitive ears and doesn’t like them being cleaned at all. But she didn’t make any fuss at all when I used these wipes and they really cleaned quite well! I was pleasantly surprised by the dog’s reaction and am very happy with these wipes! They smell pleasant and are a good size and thickness, too." —MaGoo007
Price: $12.99
13. A pair of dog and cat grooming gloves, just in case your feline or canine friend is DEATHLY afraid of the grooming comb. While your pet *thinks* you're just giving them loving pets, these gloves capture stray hair and fur with their gentle silicone teeth.
Promising review: "When I first got these out, the cats and dog were a little scared of the giant blue gloves, but once they were petted with them, they did not mind one bit! These are easy to clean, fun to use, and very effective at getting the extra fur off. I used them to wash my dog also. They dry fast and are easy to clean. My only complaint is that I wish they came in a little smaller size also. These are definitely worth buying!!" —Rubysmom
Price: $9.99
14. An aquarium master tester kit to help you create a safe environment for your favorite freshwater creatures. Freshwater aquariums can become quite toxic without proper care, and this kit allows you to test the pH, high range pH ammonia, nitrate and water hardness. Plus, this kit allows you to balance your fish's water to ensure your finned friends are swimming in a clean and healthy ecosystem.
Promising review: "Extremely easy to use, with a very informative booklet. Even if you're a beginner and words like 'nitrate,' 'nitrite,' and 'pH' scare you, you'll be able to get comfortable with this. This kit definitely isn't some menacing demon back to haunt you from your high school chemistry class. It's unbelievably easy to use and understand, and, above all, it might even save your fish:)" —hannahjking2003
Price: $24.57
15. An automatic dog and cat feeder that'll ensure your hungry companion always has something to munch on. This feeder automatically dispenses dry food, which is important for tiny puppies and kittens who need a few extra feedings a day.
Promising review: “My dear cat hounded me constantly for food. Then he gulped down the dry food I gave him but often regurgitated it within 20 minutes. I bought Cat Mate in the hope it would help. I have been able to set Cat Mate to give him small feedings every two hours between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. He has not vomited since I started this and has stopped demanding more feedings, though the total amount of food is the same.” —John
Price: $49.99 (originally $111.32)
16. A set of foldable pet stairs to assist any four-legged friends who might have mobility issues preventing them from jumping onto high surfaces like beds, couches or counters. These stairs support up to 150 pounds, so you can rest assured that your large dog *will* be able to climb into bed with you for cuddle sessions every night.
Promising review: “Our older cat has a neurological issue that affects his rear legs and he struggles to walk sometimes. Jumping is out of the question. We had been using an older set of steps that were steeper and shorter, and he did ok with them, but when we replaced them with this one — taller and a longer stretch making it less steep — he almost bounded up them. The carpet gives him something to grip, as well. I five 5 stars for sure!” —Bevy
Price: $39.95+ (originally $59.99, available in two sizes)
17. A plush mouse toy that contains hidden catnip, giving your feline friend something to chase around the house while you take care of your never-ending to-do list.
Promising review: “We have cats from just under 2 years old to almost 12 years old. All of them loved these mice the second I took them out of the package! It's unusual for all of them to be interested in the same toy, but each of them wanted to play with them. They are softer than a lot of toys I have purchased in the past, which I think is why they love them so much.” —PetMom
Price: $2.97+ (available in sets of three or five mice)
18. A cylindrical tropical fish tank so that you can provide your fish with a 360-view of their surroundings. It's basically the fish equivalent of living in a penthouse with floor-to-ceiling windows *and* it'll look extra chic in your living room.
Promising review: "We were looking for a decent tank to compliment our living room area and this 6-gallon Koller tank did the trick. It houses a pair of goldfish with a few plants. We did opt to not use the lid, settling on a clip-on LED plant light, but that was a personal preference. The lid is just fine. The 360-degree view lets you watch the fish from just about any couch in the room and it makes a nice conversation piece." —Fishy
Price: $27.08+ (available in three sizes)
19. A poop bag dispenser that'll save you from having to stuff plastic bags into your pockets while you take your dog out for a walk. This dispenser clips on to any leash, to ensure you're always prepared for when your best friend goes #2.
The holder comes with 15 bags.
Promising review: “I am very happy with the size and the convenience of being able to pull these bags out of the dispenser, which is attached nicely to my dogs leash. What a nifty and very inexpensive product to purchase and use. I am happy to recommend this dog poop bag dispenser to others because you won’t be disappointed!” —Aussie
Price: $3.89+ (available in scented or unscented)
20. A Mighty Paw smart doorbell that you can train your dog to ring every time they have ~the urge~. This is great for minimizing their indoor bathroom accidents.
Promising review: “I love this doorbell. We are still in the process of training my puppy, but she knows when she hears the sound, it means to go outside. She has pressed it a couple times when she needed to go, so super proud of her. I highly recommend it because it sticks nicely to the wall and even with a malamute running into it, it still stuck on.” —Samantha
Price: $27.99+ (originally $40, available in packs of one or two)
21. A multi-tier drinking fountain, because some cats prefer to drink flowing water as opposed to still water! This allows you to provide your cat with what they crave, while still being fairly low-maintenance with its dishwasher-safe nature.
Promising reviews: "My Jake loves his new water dish! The constant flow keeps the water fresh and clean. I filled it and, just to test it, emptied it two days later. There was no scum and the water was clean. I am now confident I can just replenish the water lost. Jake drinks more water than before, which is good for him. I would recommend this to any pet owner." —RescueMom
"Our little dog, who is 15 years old, was starting to have trouble seeing and drinking from her normal water bowl, so we ordered this to see if it would help! It is perfect! Not only is it higher than a bowl on the floor, which helps her neck pain, but the water also moves and she loves drinking from the top part. This is great for an aging pet!" —Happypetparent
Price: $29.95
22. A pair of cat nail covers, because your furniture's worst enemy might just be your best friend's claws. This also helps minimize scratches from a kitten who see your arms as a scratching post.
This set include 20 nail covers and glue.
Promising reviews: "I finally decided to try these caps and they are the best ever! I put them on myself and have only replaced one in two and a half weeks. Plus, the rainbow nails are styling!" —pearlsmommy
Price: $11.99+ (available in 11 colors and five sizes)
23. An interactive ball and tracks toy that'll have your litter of kittens playing for hours on end. This toy is great for engaging your cat's natural hunting tendencies, and it doesn't have lots of easily lost or broken parts.
Promising review: "I have foster kittens, and I'd have to say this is the best toy I've gotten yet for them to play with and they absolutely love it! From the moment I put it together and set it out for them, they were all over it. It's big enough that multiple kittens can play with it at one time, and small enough that it doesn't take up a whole lot of their other play space. They love it, so I love it." —kittyfoster
Price: $9.98
24. A fabric teaser toy, because your cat needs something other than your shoelaces to tear apart.
Promising review: "We originally got this toy two years ago when we first brought in our senior cat. She wasn’t really interested in any of the toys we had tried with her and we really wanted to find something she’d actually play with. The first time we brought this toy out, she went wild for it. We had never seen her play like that before and it’s still her favorite toy. Now, we have three more cats and they all love it as much as our old lady. I think you’d be hard pressed to find a cat that doesn’t like this toy. This is 100% worth the five bucks." —Elliot
Price: $3.98
25. And a small collapsible silicone bowl for those hot summer days at the park with your favorite canine. This bowl is made from silicone, which is naturally antimicrobial, making sure that every last drop of your dog's drinking water is clean and fresh.
Promising review: “I love these little collapsible bowls!! I needed two of them when taking my special needs girl on trips with me, and these were just perfect, size and all. Each bowl comes with a silver carabiner which is awesome, and I just took a larger carabiner and hooked them together and put them on her kitty backpack for when we travel. The bowls are the perfect size to fit one can of wet food, and they're just the right size/height for my smallest girl who is only 3.5 lbs.” —Gabbi
Price: $7.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors)
