1. A snout soother so you can moisturize that snout when it gets chapped and crusty (especially with winter weather on the way)! This vegan, organic balm stick will heal your pupper's nose and leave it as buttery soft (and perfectly boop-able) as it was before.
Promising reviews:Â "First of all, I donât know how to write this without sounding like Iâm on their payroll. Second, I wish I bought this light years ago!! The difference in my dogâs 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." âAmazon 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." âBrittany

2. A ChomChom pet hair roller if your fur babe loves to sprawl out on your furniture and leave a thick layer of hair behind. The ChomChom roller doesn't mess with sticky tapes or paper; instead, you get a reusable brush that grabs up every bit of hair and lint as you clean â just empty it out after, and you're good to go again!
The tens of thousands of 5-star Amazon reviews are reason enough to add the ChomChom to your cart immediately â but let me add my own personal review to the stack. I've been using the ChomChom for quite a while now, but I took the photos above literally just now to show just how quick, easy, and effective this roller is. It took 10 seconds to rid my velvet couch ottoman (yes, velvet...a terrible cat owner choice, I know) of the hair my two gray kitties are constantly leaving everywhere. It takes a bit of practice to get the hang of using this roller â at first, I thought you only brushed down in one direction, and was confused why it wasn't picking up hair. It's important to do a push-and-pull brushing in *both* directions so it actually pulls the hair inside, which does require you to apply a bit of pressure. Afterward, you'll just dump out the hair that's been trapped inside. The ChomChom is best for large flat surfaces like couches and beds.
Promising review: "I literally NEVER, EVER leave reviews for anything. But for this, I have to. No question about it, seriously the best money Iâve spent in a long time. Life changing for someone with a black cat and a white cat and expensive furniture that they love to lay on and shed all over. Iâm seriously blown away by how amazing and effective and simple this roller is. Itâs no longer a total hassle or chore to clean my furniture with all of the other various rollers, sticky tape, etc. Buy this and you will never need anything else for pet hair removal. I canât say enough good things. Whoever came up with this product â I legitimately love you. So much. Thank you!!!!!!" âHillary Yoshida
Get it from Amazon for $24.99Â (available in black and white).
3. And a FURemover carpet rake for your rugs and carpets, because it's basically a magnet for all that embedded fur, and you won't have to lug around a vacuum. The built-in squeegee is also effective on hardwood, tile, and other flat surfaces to clean up any messy spills. Plus, the handle extends up to 5 feet long!
Promising review: "We have a 1-year-old Corgi with the fluffy gene. Iâve had dogs my entire life and have never seen this much hair. This is used many times daily. It does exactly what is says it does. My puppy even tries to attack it but it is so durable that I has remained intact! This is one of the best things I have bought! I love love love it!" âAsh
Get it from Amazon for $12.98.

4. A Feliway multi-cat calming diffuser kit if you have cats who don't get along, whether one of them is new to the household or a life change has caused them to become aggressive. This plugs right into your wall and releases pheromones that mimic a nursing mother's, helping to not only calm cats down but also encourage social acceptance of each other. Now, you can leave home without worrying about leaving them alone together.
This starter kit gets you the diffuser head and one vial of Feliway; refills are also available on Amazon. Keep in mind that if you're introducing a new cat, you should *still* take proper precautions like keeping them separate for a while, doing smell introductions first, etc.Â
Promising review: "I canât express enough how much this has changed mine and my cats' lives. Merging two households wasnât easy on the cats. One male cat had a hard time moving into a new house with new pets. He had terrible behavior problems and would cause us and the other cats a lot of stress. His bullying led to the other two cats having health problems. He would get into moods where he would chase and attack the others and would not let up. We tried everything the vet suggested to reduce theses incidences, but getting Feliway was the only thing that worked.Â
"He is a completely different cat now. He is calm and his outbursts rarely happen. He has become a couch cat and has turned into the sweetest boy. The other cats arenât stressed anymore and neither are we. We have three diffusers in the three rooms we have had incidences in. It definitely has more of an affect on the male cats than the female. If you arenât noticing a difference with one diffuser I would suggest getting a second. We couldnât believe that this one product could fix everything, but it did. If he starts to act out again we check the diffusers, and sure enough, one of them will be out. If your cats are having any behavior problems or stress please try this!" âKristine Spencer

5. An immunity-boosting, grain-free allergy supplement designed for pups with various skin sensitivities. Each flavored chew delivers a mix of probiotics along with vitamins, protein, fiber, and antioxidants to boost their immune defenses, support digestion, and help with allergies that cause itching and hot spots.
Promising reviews: "Love this product! I would give six stars if I could. My dog loves the flavors and always look forward to get his snack." âThe TRUTH
"This product is amazing! One of my dogs was so miserable. Her skin was was flaky and always red and her body temperature was always very warm and always scratching or holding her ears as they always ached. In under two weeks of giving her this product daily I have seen such a major improvement! I am not kidding. She is like a whole different dog. Body temperature normal. No redness or flakes. Her ears seem ok and she is actually super lively and active now. Itâs so easy to give her as well because she loves the flavor like a treat. I am extremely happy with this product. Life saver! Love seeing my pupper so happy." âAmazon Customer
Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $29.97Â (available for various age groups and multiple packs).Â
6. A double-layered litter mat with a honeycomb design that catches and traps litter so it doesn't scatter across your floor and get tracked all over your home. You can press in on the sides to open up the mat and dump the trapped litter back into your litter box, or slide it into the trash can, whichever you prefer!
I've been using this trapper mat for almost two years, and while it's pretty much impossible to eliminate all litter from your home if you own even one cat, let alone several, 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 â 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 one 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 handheld vac or hose attachment. It truly is miraculous!" âAmazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $13.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors).
7. An odor-eliminating spray you should have on hand for when you locate that latest carpet accident, because it's *much* easier than a professional cleaning. Not only does it lift away stains; it also releases enzymes that break down the deep and persistent odors left behind.
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.Â
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.Â
Promising review: "I honestly have no idea how we managed without this product before. Weâve 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 witâs end when it began to happen in our own room â one corner of the room has become nearly unbearable. We didnât 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 fiancĂŠ followed the instructions down to the T and the smell is COMPLETELY GONE. Not even the slightest hint of urine anymore. I admit, Iâm more of a citrus/floral girl for smells so this more minty scent isnât my style, but the fragrance doesnât 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." âAmazon Customer
Get a 32-ounce bottle from Amazon for $19.97Â (also available in a gallon size).
8. A dog paw cleaning device designed to keep your home free of mud and dirt after your daily dog walks. The gentle bristles clean your pup's paws quickly and effectively, keeping the leftover mess inside the container for pouring out (instead of it being tracked onto your carpet and furniture).
Promising review: "I am absolutely in love with the MudBuster. It's easy to use, durable, portable, and the dog doesn't seem to mind it. If you don't want your carpets to look like mine, buy this. It really does get ALL the dirt y'all. đž 10/10 must-have." âMay
Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in three sizes, eight colors, and with or without a lid).
9. A 40-pound bag of Dr. Elsey's cat litter to keep you stocked up for your felines' bathroom habits â you can even put it on Subscribe & Save at Amazon if you're constantly running out before you remember to order more. It forms hard clumps that are easy to scoop, doesn't get tracked all over your house, and has a 99.9% dust-free, hypoallergenic formulation that's better for you and your cats.
According to Amazon, I have ordered this stuff 56 times going all the way back to 2017, and I swear by it. First of all, the convenience of putting a 40-pound bag on subscription and having it straight to your door can't be understated. As someone who lives in New York without a car, I don't really have another choice, but even if you can drive to the pet store and buy litter, this is way easier, especially when you're caring for a large number of cats. People have all sorts of opinions on the "best" type of litter to use with your cat, but a good clumping, low-dust, low-tracking formula is one you can't go wrong with, and Dr. Elsey's checks all those boxes. It does a solid job of covering the odor (as long as you're scooping regularly), and paired with a good trapper mat to catch what your cats track out as they exit, you won't end up with it all over your house.Â
Promising review: "This litter was an absolute game-changer. It is SO easy to scoop, and it doesnât BREAK APART when unearthing my catâs toilet fossils, which helps keep the litter box clean. I feel like an archeologist when I am scooping this litter, and thatâs a compliment. You would think by the look of it that it would hardcore track, BUT IT HARDLY TRACKS â MY FLOORS HAVE STAYED SO CLEAN. I bought the 40-pound bag and it was tough to pour it into the litter box, but thatâs legit the worst thing I can say about this litter. This purchase was absolutely worth it. The value for price is so much better than local stores, it keeps a fresh smell, itâs easy to scoop, it doesnât cover my floors in miniature gravel, itâs everything I ever wanted in kitty litter. I almost didnât buy it because I was scared to try something new, but Iâm glad I did." âNightmare Fuel
Get it from Amazon for $20.99.
10. A purring cat toy for anxious kitties who cry loudly and frequently. Designed for cats who struggle with separation anxiety, this soothing touch-activated toy emits a familiar purr that'll make it your baby's new favorite nap buddy â so when you aren't at home, you can worry a little less about them as well.
If you have a single-cat home or have a cat who's grieving the loss of a companion, this toy can be a hypnotizing source of comfort. It's a good choice for kittens recently separated from their mother as well.
Promising review: "I LOVE THIS PURPLE CAT SO MUCH!!! I bought one for my kittens when I first got them and they still have it two years later! It is still their favorite snuggle buddy. I have since bought two more of them. I got one for my grandma's kittens and they love it too! I would strongly recommend this product to any cat owner!!!!" âKatelee Roberts
Get it from Amazon for $14.99Â (also available in a blue sloth style for $6.57).
11. A 360-degree rotating Furbo camera so you can check in on your dog when you're at work, on a trip, or anywhere outside the home. You can get push notifications when your dog is barking and talk to them through the app to calm them â you can even toss them a treat!
Of course, if you have cats, you'll be able to check in on them with this too!
Promising review: "The Furbo has completely changed my life while returning to work after Covid. My dog was used to having me right next to her all day every day for two years, so I was worried about how she would react when I had to return to the office. Having this camera has given me so much peace of mind knowing that sheâs doing well at home. And I can always watch sweet videos of her in real time while Iâm out of the house. The bark alerts are AWESOME. Since I live in an apartment building with lots of neighbors, barking was my #1 concern with my dog staying home alone. But she does great! She rarely ever barks and if she does, I can talk to her on my phone through the camera and calm her down. My anxiety level is so much lower when I know sheâs being quiet and well behaved. I seriously canât live without the Furbo." âDanielle

12. An organic cat grass growing kit if you have a kitty who loves to taste-test your indoor plants (some of which can be toxic!) or who struggles with hairballs. Give them a taste of the outdoors with this cat-safe, fiber-rich grass, which includes a healthy mix of wheat grass, oat, barley, and rye and helps digestion.
Plus, it comes in an adorable cat face mug!
The Cat Ladies is a family-owned, southern California-based small business founded in 2015 by a mother-daughter duo, who wanted to create unique, organic, non-toxic products for other passionate cat owners.
Promising review: "I literally donât think I could love this more. The whole process, from watching the soil disk expand to seeing my cat revel in it, is a delight. My cat loves to rub against, chew, and eat the grass. We keep a pair of clippers nearby and cut him some grass when he (frequently) asks for it, which he then eats up excitedly. The planter itself is super cute. If youâre like me and canât normally grow plants with any semblance of success, youâll be very happy! The directions provided are very clear and itâs very easyâand satisfyingâto grow. Iâve gotten more disks and seeds since first purchasing this and look forward to making my boy more grass." âTB
Get it from Amazon for $19.94.
13. A set of transparent couch protectors when absolutely nothing else will distract your kitty from the grand appeal of ripping your sofa to shreds. You get 10 large self-adhesive pieces to apply around the spots they target the most, and eventually they will learn they have to scratch elsewhere.
Promising review:Â "If only I had purchased these sooner I would have saved tons of uninterrupted time relaxing instead of continuously trying to redirect my cats away from using my couch as a scratching post, and saved gallons of water by not having to refill the dreaded squirt bottle! Super easy to attach (while my cats of course watched with suspicious curiosity). And the satisfaction of that first time they tried to go for a good scratch, only to have their lovely sharp-clawed paws slip slooooowly with no catch. HA!! I WON! My review: All the stars and then some more for the blissful content. Cats review: They are not pleased, currently not speaking to me, and I am certain will plot their revenge. Wish me luck!! Lol!" âAmazon Customer
Get a pack of 10 from Amazon for $18.99Â (available in multiple pack sizes).
14. A cozy window hammock so they can catch the sun's warm rays *and* have the best view for their daily window watching. It's extra sturdy with suction cups capable of holding over 40 pounds, enough to hold a number of cats (or a small dog!) a bed, and toys.
Check out an unboxing + setup on TikTok.
Promising review: "Oh, where do I even begin? This has transformed my feline friend's life, turning our ordinary window into a whimsical paradise that my cat simply adores. It has brought immense joy and contentment to my cat's life. It has become a favorite spot for observing, napping, and enjoying the sunlight, all in one compact and practical package. If you're a cat parent looking to provide your feline companion with the ultimate window-view experience, I highly recommend investing in this exceptional product. It's 5-star luxury for your whiskered friend, and the purrs of gratitude will be your reward!" âcody stockton
Get it from Amazon for $19.89+Â (available in two colors).
15. An automatic water fountain both cat and dog owners love for preventing dehydration in their pets! The running stream of water actually encourages them to drink more, and there's a charcoal filter that helps keep things fresh for your babies.
It comes with three replacement filters and a mat.
Promising review: "I love this fountain for SO many reasons. I have two cats; one is very picky about his water situation. Despite my efforts and acts of love toward my two cats, one would purposefully knock his water dish over almost every other day. I bought this fountain, hoping to save myself some headache. Both of my cats were slightly wary of this moving water bowl, but after a couple of minutes of inspecting the product, they both drank happily from it. I had no problem washing the pieces, or assembling it. I appreciate this charcoal filter that sucks up any dust, dirt, cat food, and cat hair to keep this water looking so fresh. Iâm sure my cats appreciate this as well. When the water begins to get lower, the fountain begins to grow louder. This is almost a signal to you, the slave, to fill their water dish, before they cry about it. If itâs entirely full, the fountain is extremely silent. 100% recommend this product to ANY pet owner!" âJaden LaBrake
Get it from Amazon for $25.99 (available in two colors).
16. An Aspen self-warming bed if you're tired of buying beds that your pet simply ⨠ignores ⨠â this bed broke that years-long cycle for me and I've now bought *two* of them so each of my cats can have their own. Aside from just being irresistibly cozy and the perfect shape, this smartly designed bed uses their own body heat and reflects it so they have a toasty place to nap at all times â including when you're not home to cuddle them.
This is THE pet bed, y'all. I can personally vouch for it for cats, though plenty of reviewers have shared pics of their adorable dogs curled up in it too (it comes in larger sizes)! Neither of my cats have ever really taken to a cat bed and much preferred to doze on their cat tree or curl up on a regular blanket â until I finally caved in and bought the Aspen self-warming bed a while back. IMMEDIATELY upon placing it on my couch, one of my cats crawled into it and happily began napping. As soon as he moved away, my other cat jumped in to take it for a test run as well â and immediately curled up as well. After about a week of them taking turns using it (literally, the cat *not* in the bed would lay next to it waiting for the other to leave â my polite boys đĽš), I realized I needed to buy a second one. They immediately took to that one as well, and now, they both have access to their favorite bed whenever they like!
Promising review: "We have one in every room and two in some rooms. Cats dogs, everyone LOVES!!! Whenever we can't find any of our cuddle bunnies, you better believe they/he/she will be found in one of the rooms in one of these beds. So glad I bought one to try and ended up buying many more. PLEASE JUST BUY IT...your fur babies will love it!!" âZar
Get it from Amazon for $23.41.Â
17. An adorable stuffed duck (boasting 17,000+ 5-star ratings!) that might not look very tough, but reviewers say it's held up over months of energetic chewing and tugging. This is one you won't be throwing in the graveyard of toys that got destroyed in approximately 10 seconds.
Promising reviews: "I donât know what magical properties this little duck possesses, but it has greatly outlasted all other toys my chocolate lab grand puppy has been given. She has consistently destroyed so many random items, but I thought I would take a chance in this and we are all thrilled that it has lasted and she loves playing with it. The pink color that we randomly received is precious! If and when this one finally gets destroyed I will definitely be buying another one." âB.W.
Get it from Amazon for $7.90. You can find the mini version for small dogs here. The duck comes in multiple colors, and you'll receive one at random.Â
18. A bottle of Burt's Bees dander-reducing spray if your precious feline bb has more flakes on their coat than a snowy day in Alaska. This contains nourishing colloidal oat flour and aloe vera for a deep-conditioning treatment that'll have you running your hand through their silky, shiny, dander-free coat in amazement.Â
You can spray this on a brush before brushing their fur!
Promising review: "Oh my goodness! My 20-something-pound ragdoll isn't necessarily fat, but he's huge! He has trouble grooming his back, and it tends to build up dander flakes and just get a greasy look to it. I've been using this spray a few times a week, brushing it through and getting as much loose hair out as I can. His fur is shiny, soft and has significantly less dander! I'm so pleased. The spray dries quickly as you brush it through. I love this stuff!" âKayla A.
19. An outdoor play tent for cats, bunnies, hedgehogs, guinea pigs, and other small animals so they can lounge outside in the fresh air and sun instead of always just sadly watching through the window. It'll give them a 360-degree view with plenty of room while also keeping them safe and close by.
You can also fill it with their blankets, beds, and toys to really make it fun and cozy while they take in the fresh air. It comes with an attachable tunnel, as pictured on the right above.
Get a closer look at it on TikTok!
Promising review: "For you urbanites, this cat tent will bring years of great mirth and joy to your beloved feline friend! It's a myth that cats can just remain alone indoors as solitary creatures. This cat tent allows me to safely stimulate the psyche and spirit of my little family member. Birds have even landed on the tent and rabbits have grazed around it, and they are safe from her as well. A vet even walked past and commented, 'I wish everyone did this for their cat!' My cat didn't like it at first, scratching and meowing and trying to get out, but over time, with slow introduction, she came to love her tent. I would advise you keep a close watch though â loud diesel trucks or noisy kids can still scare your kitty and she may want to come inside for safety; errant dogs can be a genuine concern too! It's lightweight enough that apartment dwellers can carry it with them to a safe spot to let their cats play for a bit." âYvonne DeMarino
Get it from Amazon for $67.96 (also available in a "tower" style, and the tent and tunnel are available individually).Â
20. Or a transparent bird house feeder that'll still give indoor pets a front row seat to the action â and if you kinda consider your backyard birds your "pets" (like my mom does), they'll love it too! It has strong suction cups so you can easily attach it to a window, and it's sturdy enough to handle a number of birds at once without falling.
The feed tray slides out, making it easy to refill and clean, and there's a divider so you can use two different types of feed at once to attract different varieties of birds! Some reviewers even decorated their bird house with little frills like moss, flowers, and twine, so you can give it as much flair as you like!Â
Note: If you find that your pets are scaring the birds away, one reviewer recommends applying reflective adhesive so the birds can't see in but your fur babes can see the full show.Â
Promising review: "This feeder sticks really well on the window. It even holds the plump squirrels that sneak into it. đ It was super easy to apply and adjust. Our cats absolutely love the close up action they get since we purchased reflective adhesive and put it on the inside of our window. Now the birds have no idea theyâre even there and the cats are in disbelief they get to sit that close to the birds. Overall a great purchase, my family loves it!" âSRowe
Get it from Amazon for $29.90.
21. A stimulating activity mat for your bored pup so they don't find some other outlet for their energy (aka something to destroy). By hiding treats and kibble inside, you'll activate their ~hunting senses~ and provide an enriching activity for them â plus, watching them sniff around the mat will be endlessly entertaining.Â
Promising review: "My puppy LOVES this mat! He gets super excited whenever he sees it. He sometimes doesn't like to eat his kibbles in his bowl, but he has so much fun finding and eating kibbles when I hide them into this mat. I heard nose work is also good for reducing separation anxiety in dogs, so I give him this mat whenever I need to leave more than two hours. He deals with separation way better with this. I'm 100% satisfied!" âBom
Get it from Amazon for $27.99.
22. A genius 360-degree view carrier that's also a car seat at the same time?? It comes with an easily installed frame that turns it into a booster seat so you can clip them in for safety while in the car. It's spacious, gives them a better view of what's going on, *and* the top opens all the way for easy access (a godsend if your pet goes into a carrier kicking and scratching).Â
It also looks like an actual baby carrier, which is beyond adorable. When you're ready to take them out of the car, you just unclip the carrier from the frame and take them out!
I highly recommend watching this TikTok where one reviewer shows how it works!
Promising reviews: "Love, love, love, this pet carrier. The convenience of being able to snap the carrier into a frame in the car beats having to weave a seatbelt through it every time. I have a bad back and I can unsnap the seat from the stand from a standing position. I would recommend it to anyone." âme
"This is simply an infant carrier for your pet. Will be buying more. Love the car seat clip in and it's truly the only one I have found that my Maine Coon fits comfortably in!" âBSab
Get it from Amazon for $69.98+ (available in nine styles).Â
23. Or a wheeled see-through pet carrier to give your curious feline a ~360-degree~ view while you're on a walk together â because why would you go anywhere without your bestie?
It has 13 air holes and comes with two types of mats for putting inside (a fluffy cushion for the winter, a cooling pad for the summer), though you could always put their favorite blanket or pillow inside for comfort. It also has an extendable, adjustable handle and 360-degree spinning wheels.Â

Vetreska is a small business that specializes in chic pet products for home and travel.Â
Promising review: "I got these for my cats. They are inside boys and when I use the harness in the fenced backyard they tend to eat grass. My ginger is a rotund 19 pounds but this contraption fits his extra large bod with room for him to turn around and check out the ladies. Update five months later: I loved it so much that I bought another one. They love this thing!" âandjas96
Get it from Amazon for $99.99+ (available in four styles, including partially transparent or fully transparent).Â
24. An enzymatic dog toothpaste that'll help you keep your pup's dental hygiene under control (and improve that stinky breath you get a whiff of every time they lick your face). This can help you handle that scary built-up tartar on their teeth at home instead of shelling out for a professional cleaning â and many dogs love the taste too!
This no-rinse, non-foaming toothpaste comes in two yummy flavors that dogs will love (peanut butter or poultry!). For best results, it's recommended to brush their teeth at least 2â3 times per week.
Promising reviews:Â "The dogs love this stuff. The picture attached is only after two weeks of use (brushing two times a day). The dogs love the flavor and actually think of tooth brushing as a treat now. I also put it in a chew toy for them to chew on to help brush their own teeth. We used children tooth brushes at first to help her gums adjust and now use an actual dog toothbrush." âPaisley
"I thought I would never be able to remove the tartar on my dogâs teeth unless I go to the vet. But after brushing her teeth for 2â3 weeks, the thick and hard tartar began to fall off. The result is unbelievable." âAmazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $6.89+ (available in two sizes and two flavors as well as a kit).
25. And a squeaky chew toy toothbrush to disguise dental care as playtime, since the "spikes" will work to safely clean their chompers as they chew on it. Some reviewers even reported their pup had fresher-smelling breath afterward!
Promising review: "I am loving this new toothbrush toy for my lab. Sheâs a very aggressive chewer, but this has held up to her. She was so happy to find the squeak! She enjoys it so much that I have used it with other things as well...works good for supervised play with peanut butter also. I definitely recommend this product. Itâs very durable and quite cute." âAmy Campbell

26. A cleaning magnet because cleaning the fish tank is no one's favorite task, but it has to be done â and thankfully, this makes it *way* easier since you can move the scrubber around from the outside. No more algae buildup fogging up your aquarium, and it's also less disruptive to your fishies!
Each cleaning magnet comes with one pad for glass aquariums and one pad for acrylic aquariums.Â
Promising review: "All the time I spent with a long-handled brush scaring my fish while I scrubbed away at the walls of the tank and never once did I think of making something like this. This is incredible! I used to let my tank get a lot dirtier than it should have been because cleaning it was such a messy, time-consuming chore. I saw this while I was looking for a tank to get my daughter's beta fish and it looked like such a good idea, I thought there couldn't be any harm in spending a few bucks to try it out. IT. WORKS. In less than five minutes, I had every surface of the tank scrubbed clean and I didn't have to get my hands in the tank, didn't have to scrub for half an hour with a sponge on a long handle, and didn't spill water all over the counter. The difference in just one pass was like night and day. Now a couple of hours later (giving the filter a chance to get rid of the stuff that ended up in the water) and the tank is crystal clear. It's so easy and quick, I'll end up cleaning more often and the tank won't end up the way it did before. I 100% recommend this." âJack H

27. And a super effective fish tank light to illuminate your aquarium much better and help any live plants inside thrive. It has three light modes, five brightness levels, and timer settings so you can simulate natural light during the day, then transition it to a colorful neon at night.Â
Promising review: "I spent a LOT of time researching reasonably priced lights. I have used a couple of other lights on various tanks and this light is by far the best one Iâve used to date. Iâm so happy I finally decided to make the purchase. No more shadowy dark corners, and my fish even seem happier too." âHeather B.
Get it from Amazon for $18.99+Â (available in six sizes).
28. A pack of creamy lickable cat treats that are high in moisture to help them stay properly hydrated â but more importantly, they're deliciously savory and irresistible to kitties. You just tear one open, and they can lick it directly from the tube like it's Go-Gurt for cats, or you can squeeze some out into a bowl or on top of their regular food.
These lickable cat treats are such a crowdpleaser â even my cat Chicho, who generally turns his nose up at crunchy treats, loves to get in on the action whenever I offer him one of these lil' tubes. And considering it has an average 4.8 (!) out of 5 stars on Amazon with over 12,000 ratings, it seems my kitties aren't alone in loving them. It's so easy to tear open a pack, and I love being able to feed the treat to them directly like Go-Gurt. They also came in clutch a while back when my other cat Sneaky (who was later diagnosed with small cell lymphoma) stopped eating and was throwing up from his stomach being so empty. The Churu lickable treats were the only thing I could coax him into eating â and while they're not a replacement for meals, they're high in moisture and were able to tide him over until his vet visit. And if you have to give your cats medications regularly, these can help disguise the flavor. A bunch of reviewers also mention loving these for senior cats who can't chew well or sick cats with low appetite.
Promising review: "Fixed my relationship with my cat. For as long as heâs been alive (six years), Milo has never cared for me in the time weâve lived together. He just does not like my vibes. That is, until I bought this box of Churu. Now I'm my catâs favorite person. Heâs running to my side, meowing and rubbing himself on my ankles, whenever I come home. He sleeps by my head at night. He purrs whenever I touch him. All this because I started giving him a Churu a day. Itâs worth it to see him go wild over a little tube of cheese and beef flavored paste." âRox

29. A handy device to put an end to everyone in your house asking each other, "Did you feed the dog?" several times a day.
It has magnets, so just stick it on your fridge for some easy, nonverbal communication with the members of your household.
Promising review: "I wish I wouldâve gotten this years ago. Takes all the guesswork out of 'was the dog fed?' Our poor dog either got a bunch of meals or nothing at all. It was so infuriating. I put this on the lid of the dog food container so you canât get to the dog food without noticing if the tab was switched or not. Our dog gets fed more consistently now. I recommend this to anyone with a busy life who canât remember anything or a family with many members who may or may not feed the pets!" âKelly Oyster
Get it from Amazon for $11.95Â (also available in versions for cats, fish, and more).
30. A bully stick holder so they can go to town on bully sticks without fear of possible choking. This clever device will hold the stick tight, even when it's chewed down to the bottom, and it'll add a little extra fun to the pastime, too.Â
There are several sizes to choose from based on the width of the chew sticks you give your pet: small (for treats 1/2 inchâ3/4 inches), medium (5/8 inchesâ7/8 inches), and large (3/4 inchesâ1 1/8 inches).
Bully Grip is a small biz product created by a dog owner whose pup ended up in the ER after swallowing a 3-inch piece of a bully stick. She created this solution after working with engineers and extensive testing with many different dog breeds.
Promising review:Â "These are the greatest invention ever! They are sturdy and grip the stick like nobody's business when used according to the directions. (You have to twist the stick, people. Pay attention to the directions!) There are no parts that break off, and the shape is fun for the dogs. Plus, they're light enough that the dogs can carry them around in their mouth. If you give your dog any kind of chew stick, I cannot recommend these enough. We have three BullyGrips at the moment (one small and two medium) but we have four dogs, so we'll probably get one more. These are half the price of the competition and work so much better. We'll never use anything else again." âMikara
Get it from Amazon for $16.95.
31. An electronic fluttering butterfly toy that might tempt even the most disinterested of cats into energetic play. It simulates the realistic movements of butterflies, which they won't be able to resist swatting at, with the added feature of a track ball toy built in.Â
Note that it runs on four AA batteries (not included) *or* you can plug it into a power source.Â
Promising review: "This is hands-down the best electronic toy my cats have ever played with. Most toys they lose interest in because it's either underwhelming or overstimulating. The butterfly really does mimic an actual butterfly or any other flying insect, and the feather shooter is random and keeps them guessing! What's even cooler is the toy is designed to have one of the two parts activated at once, otherwise both going at the same time will cause the cat to lose interest. I love this product, and am very happy you can buy replacements on here as well! The butterfly and feathers are very durable, one my cats is just much more aggressive in his play time and the butterfly is his favorite (on or off)! Highly recommend rechargeable batteries if you go that route. The cord power option is awesome because the cord is not too short, yet not too long that they want to chew it. Highly HIGHLY recommend this product!" âFelicia
Get it from Amazon for $38.99Â (available in four colors; refills for the butterflies are also available).Â
32. A nail file board â because what if I told you your pooch can take charge of their own nail care? If they *hate* getting their nails trimmed, this is a great alternative, giving them an abrasive surface perfect for filing down those long nails that keep making click-clack sounds on your hard floors.Â
Once you train them to use it using positive association, they'll be able to grind away at their own pace, completely stress-free!
ScratchPad for Dogs is a small biz based in Atlanta.
Promising review: "Love this scratch pad! We adopted our dog almost a year ago and he's been terrified of clippers and grinders since day one. We've never been able to maintain his nails due to his super reactive anxiety around nail care. That's all changed since we got the Scratch Pad a few weeks ago! He took to it right away and his nails have shown significant improvement in just a few sessions!" âKira Armajani
Get it from ScratchPad for Dogs on Etsy for $46.95+ (available in four styles and three grit levels).
33. A Poop-Off cleaning spray for safely removing allll those droppings your feathered friend left around their cage, or your house. đŹÂ
Of course, even if you're not a bird owner, you can use this outside if you have furniture that's covered in bird droppings!
Promising review: "Absolutely love this cleaner. We have a macaw and the cage we built is wood and steel wire. Nothing was really getting the poop off of the wood but this did as soon as I sprayed it on. It cleaned it so effortlessly. Glad I went ahead and bought the gallon refill as well. We will be using this a lot." âCrystal
"This product is a MUST-HAVE for all owners of pooping pets, ESPECIALLY carpeted apartment-dwelling parrot owners. It gets poop off EVERYTHING, has a very mild, unoffensive aroma, and a little goes a LONG way. I got this three months ago and use it DAILY, and still haven't put a dent in the bottle." âE.A.
Get it from Amazon for $13.20.
34. An ear treatment capable of soothing your poor pup or kitty's red, inflamed ears without having to coax them into taking oral meds (anyone who's ever tried knows the struggle). The gentle 1% hydrocortisone formula doesn't sting and relieves itching so you won't have to helplessly watch them pawing at their ears and whining anymore. It also helps protect against fungal and bacterial infections (and future expensive vet visits).
Promising reviews:Â "Saved a ton of money for vet bills. This stuff works fantastic and my cat actually doesn't mind getting the drops. I followed the instructions and they did exactly as they said. After reading the reviews, I was sort of convinced but now I won't get anything else. Totally worth the money." âDebbie M
"I bought this to help my dogâs ears and itâs the best on the market. Within days, her ears started clearing up and she stopped scratching her ears and shaking her head. Awesome product, well worth the money." âhandheld
Get it from Amazon for $23.79+Â (also available in a larger size).
35. An interactive cat toy that can help picky eaters slow down as well as ~stimulate their brain~ as they try to solve the puzzle of getting treats or dry kibble out of the various-sized tubes in a natural pawing manner. For bored kitties who're always stealing household items (or sometimes literal trash) to play with, this'll provide some much-needed enrichment.
See it on TikTok!Â
I purchased this feeder back in January because my youngest cat, Chicho, is a little ball of energy and needs regular mental stimulation or he'll whine and stare and me and whine some more (super fun while I'm trying to WFH). Thankfully, he LOVES this. I literally put his regular dry kibble in there, which he already has full access to in his food bowl in the kitchen, but for some reason, putting his paw in these tubes and digging them out one by one really does it for him. I only use it as a playtime toy when he needs attention and I can't give it to him, not as a regular feeding device, but plenty of reviewers said their kitties eat full meals from it (and finally *aren't* throwing up). If your cat is often bored and meowing for attention, I say give this a shot!
Promising review: "I don't often take the time to write reviews, but couldn't wait to share my opinion on this feeder! I've got a floofy binge / purrrrge machine that has thwarted every. single. attempt. to slow his eating to date. He's figured out how to hack other slow feeders, binge, and puke all down the walls. The floors. My fresh clean bedding. This one? He hasn't! For the first time ever (I think) I've heard this cat chew his food. He gets one or two pieces at a time. He can graze throughout the day, and it's a rewarding activity. The wells for each food cup are deep enough to prevent him from lifting the cups out. Nice base of support to prevent tipping. Easy peasy to fill and clean. It's great! This thing solved a long-standing problem. So glad I gave it a try!" âSilverhill Leather, LLC

36. A mini pet hair remover for tackling that *deeply* embedded fur in pet beds, towers, sofa cushions, carpeted stairs, and anywhere else they spend a ton of time lounging. Each edge has a different teeth length + density, designed for different cleaning modes, like deep cleaning a spot vs. broad strokes across a wide area. It can help to work this over an area first before vacuuming if that fur is really stuck in there. Â
See it in action on TikTok, where the reviewer uses it to clean dog fur off their car's upholstery. Â
Promising review: "OK, y'all, I normally do not write reviews. That being said, this thing is not a WANT but a NEED for anyone with long-haired animals! I saw it on TikTok and was like, 'Whatever, Iâll try it.' I have a husky and three cats. It normally takes me three HOURS to vacuum my couch and clean it. It took 15 MINUTES. I would rate it 1,000 stars if I could." âCheyenne Cutsinger
Get it from Amazon for $15.99Â (available in six colors).
37. A dog car seat so your pup stays safe during car rides too. The seatbelt is adjustable for a comfortable fit, while the elevated seat can help with car sickness (and gives them a better view out the window).
Promising review: "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. Love it!" âJoseph Smorol
Get it from Amazon for $59.95Â (available in black/blue, orange, red, and light blue/charcoal).Â
38. AÂ clear toy blocker to stop all their toys and balls from *immediately* ending up underneath the couch and other furniture, putting an end to one of the most annoying pet owner chores: going around and "rescuing" their toys for them. And because it's made of durable plastic, it's not something they'll be able to rip up and destroy either!
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." âCrystal 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.'Â Yes, this is a challenge to install, but 100% worth it. I'd buy it again in a heartbeat." âAllison Goldstein
Get it from Amazon for $13.98+ (available in three sizes).
39. An LED collar for those inevitable nighttime walks when you want to make sure your dog (especially if they have dark fur) stays safe and visible to traffic. It also helps you more easily locate them in the dark if they're not on a leash.
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!" âMn 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 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." âWill
