    34 Things That'll Help Keep Your Pet From Trashing Your Home

    Turns out you can have pets *and* a clean living space.

    1. A TruePet Shark vacuum that'll pull a bunch of pet hair from rugs and floors as well as hard-to-reach nooks and crannies you thought were already clean — thanks to its powerful suction, helpful tools, and deep, deep cleaning abilities.

    2. A doggy doorbell to help your pup ask to go outside before there's a *big accident* to clean up.

    3. A nail grinder that's much easier (and...strangely more fun?) than using traditional nail clippers to keep your pet's claws from scratching up your entire home.

    4. A fast-acting carpet spot-removing spray to remove those stains you thought you'd never be able to get rid of.

    5. Some wood polish and conditioner with beeswax and orange oil that'll impressively hide blemishes from your scratchy lil' pets.

    6. A FURemover squeegee broom that reviewers say attracts hair like a magnet. All that fur and fuzz hiding deep in your carpet is no match for this thing, and while pet hair is the focus, it'll do an impressive job cleaning up water, dirt, and dust too.

    7. An easy-to-use doggy foot cleaner to clean your pup's paws more easily and effectively after those muddy and snowy potty trips so you aren't swimming in paper towels *and* so your pooch doesn't track dirt all over your house because somehow their paws still aren't totally clean. Now you can be sure they're spotless before they climb all over the furniture you specifically told them is off limits, SMH.

    8. A bowl mat so every time your overly-excited pets cause a lil' spill, there won't be such a big mess for you to deal with.

    9. A pet hair remover that'll quickly and easily pull *a lot* of pet fur off of carpets, couches, car seats to keep up with your sheddy lil' fur baby.

    10. A baby gate to keep your nosy pet from exploring and making a huge mess in areas that are ~off limits~.

    11. Some water-resistant, all-season, adjustable-width doggie leggings with waterproof booties that'll keep your pupper's paws nice and clean after playtime outside while protecting them from sharp objects and slipping and sliding around. Plus, they're super comfy for your doggo, easy to take on and off and clean, and they come in a variety of adorable prints to match your furry friend's personal style!

    12. A pet corrector that emits a harmless hiss of air to interrupt chewing, scratching, and all-around mess making for dogs who just don't seem to understand the word NO.

    13. An automatic litter box that does the dirty work for you, and is designed to sift out clumps so that your cat won't leave a fun trail of litter all over your house for you to clean up later.

    14. A Wi-Fi-enabled automatic dog and cat feeder that'll take care of keeping your pets fed even when you aren't around so they don't get antsy and destructive.

    16. A pet odor eliminating candle that'll fill your home with the scent of lemon, linen, and florals instead of whatever bodily fluids your pet loves to expel to ruin your day.

    17. A Magic Eraser – it works...like magic! Just add water, and you'll be amazed at how the dirt and filth your pup spreads around your house just wipes right off. Use it on surfaces, walls, tubs, oven doors, light switches — you name it!

    18. A bottle of bitter apple spray you can spray on your belongings to make them taste bad to your pupper who just won't stop chewing. Of course, some dogs inexplicably find this flavor delicious so it's worth testing a little bit out to make sure they *actually* hate it before coating your whole house in the stuff.

    19. A powerful all-purpose cleaner concentrate so you can clean your entire animal-filled home without having to grab a different bottle for every task. It's tough on stains and will leave your space smelling like soothing essential oils instead of pet vom.

    20. A bottle of carpet and upholstery cleaner with a fabric-safe brush attached to it so you can easily lift stains and neutralize odors that have been lingering in your carpets and furniture.

    21. Some Wondercide Spray – it uses natural essential oils to repel and prevent fleas, ticks, and mosquitoes that you don't want on your pet or in your home. It's a gentle, yet powerful alternative to monthly treatments, collars, pills, chewables, and other pest repellents, so you can feel good about using them on puppies, kittens, and senior pets as well!

    22. A ChomChom roller pet hair remover for anyone who can never seem to get all of their pet's fur off of their clothes and furniture. This thing has over 35,000 5-star reviews for a reason! Just roll it over your fuzz-covered item of choice, and watch it lift the fur right off like some sort of wizardry.

    23. A pack of puppy pads that absorb liquids and turn them into a gel so cleanup is less of a nightmare.

    24. A vet-approved Feliway diffuser that emits a calming pheromone to help soothe cats who tend to spray or engage in destructive activities.

    25. A carpet cleaning solution that'll deep clean your long suffering carpets who never agreed to having pets in the first place.

    26. A coconut-based laundry stain pre-treat stick that'll get rid of pesky stains on all fabrics without requiring you to do any hand washing! Just wet the affected area, rub it with the Wunderbar stick, throw it in the wash, and that's it! Stains from pet accidents, dirt, food, oil, makeup, and even yellow pit stains will be long gone by the time the cycle ends.

    27. A fresh sod mat that makes it easier to train indoor pups and older dogs to pee and poop on grass instead of on...your expensive new rug. Plus, it soaks up liquids and odors so your home stays smelling fresh! Whether you're lacking a backyard or just don't feel like making constant trips in the rain or snow, this long-lasting, disposable mat is the perfect option to make potty time a whole lot simpler.

    28. A pack of matatabi chew sticks you can use to reward your feline friend for non-destructive behavior. They're an all natural alternative to catnip for anyone who has spent way too much money on catnip toys that do little to impress your kitty. They seem to really love this stuff, and it also helps maintain clean teeth!

    29. A set of anti-slip ceramic food bowls and a matching stand to avoid the mess that tends to come with feeding time. This'll help keep pets from knocking their bowl over, and can also help reduce neck strain!

    30. A tabletop toy that'll provide your little birdy with some stimulating activity that *doesn't* involve throwing seeds all over the place out of boredom.

    31. A pet hair removing glove that 1) you'll love because it easily picks up a whole bunch of hair that otherwise would've been scattered all around your home, and 2) your pet will love once they realize that every time you put it on, it means a luxurious petting session is about to begin.

    32. Bissell Stomp & Go Cleaning Pads that'll banish the pet hair and dander that just loves to cling to your carpet with all its might.

    33. A cat litter mat that'll help clean your kitty's feet after they do their business so they don't spread the gross stuff all over your house.

    34. And finally, a Pet Tunes Bluetooth speaker that comes preloaded with 90 minutes of calming music developed by a sound behaviorist to relax your anxious fur baby. Anxiety can lead to destructive behavior, so sometimes soothing your pet can be more effective than disciplining them in a frightening way or resorting to medications.
