Promising review: "My Frenchie chews on his paws night and day. I’ve tried raw diets, but it was not a food allergy. My dog just produces too much yeast in his paws and tail pocket that he just can’t help it but gnaw on his paws for hours on and scooting his butt to get that itch in that tail pocket. I’ve tried foot soaks, balms, and so many other products, wasting so much money. This is the first product that worked! The smell is very pleasant and easy application; be careful and don’t let your dog ingest it. I love this product and won’t be using any other product. Since I’ve been using it, his paws are starting to look normal and not all red/raw and chewed up. I would recommend this to any animal owner to use this if the pets have skin issues." —Uyen Mai Thi Tran

Promising review: "My 12-year-old German shepherd has hip dysplasia and had trouble up and down stairs. After a month of taking Glycoflex, he is bouncing up the stairs. He is feeling much less pain and is enjoying his walks much more. I'd like to know if there is a human version of this wonderful product?" —SB

Promising review: "Molly absolutely LOVES her Nerf Gun Tennis Ball Blaster. She whines and starts jumping around with excitement whenever we bring it out to play. She usually likes to hang on to the tennis balls instead of dropping it for us to throw again, but with this toy she’s so excited for us to launch it that she is willing to drop the ball. She’s so happy with this toy, and it’s great to use in the backyard to get some exercise if we don’t have time to go for a walk. It is a little bigger than we were expecting (see pictures for size) but works great. We’ve been using regular tennis balls, and they fit perfectly into the launcher. Overall, I would highly recommend this toy for any tennis ball-loving dogs." —Paul Johnson

Promising review: "My dog never understood the concept of Fetch. It didn't matter what I tried. This FINALLY has her fetching and using up all (OK, most) of the energy that a cattle dog has. We can play over and over and over without my measly arm wearing out, and she's able to sprint to her heart's content. I'm already planning to gift one to my brother's dog who also is fetch-dumb." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "My dog loves this ball! I have a 1-year-old Husky who loves to chew on everything. This ball can handle her destructive nature. I work late and by the time I get home, it's dark out but I still want to spend time playing with her and this ball works amazingly. I toss it in front of a light for a few minutes and it's charged and ready to be thrown. She loves the ball so much that when she's done playing fetch, she'll bring it to bed with her. There's a hole in the middle that makes a whistling noise when thrown, which catches her attention. Great ball, glad I bought it." —Quyen

Promising review: "My shollie puppy LOVES this. She is very high energy, and destructive when bored. This toy keeps her happily busy for hours (and gives me exercise!), and has survived for three months now. To put it in perspective, this is the ONLY toy that has survived that long." —ADKhiker

Promising review: "We got this for our 4-month-old boxer puppy. It took her about three to four weeks to really understand the cause and effect. We did hand over hand (or paw in this case) so we used our hand to pick up and place her paw on the bell each time she wanted to go out and said 'Ring the bell.' We almost gave up and then all the sudden she just got it! We now LOVE it! She has a bell inside and outside and it keeps her from scratching the door, and we can hear it from anywhere in the house but it isn't annoying. Instead of mounting it to use her nose, we decided to put sticky back Velcro on the back of it and the floor so we can take it places with us when we go to friends' houses or on vacation and it works great! We have used it consistently for a few months now and love it." —Mrs. T

Promising review: "This is the ONLY toy that my pit/lab mix hasn't been able to destroy in five minutes. Even the Kong toys last less than a day in our house. Bought this exact one three years ago and finally had to replace it, because he managed to chew a little off the end. That was after three years of indoor/outdoor CONSTANT play. We call it 'blue thing,' and it's his absolute favorite toy in the world." —Cathy

Promising review: "It's perfect to get my piggies their exercise both indoors and outdoors. We have two cats who would love to 'play' with the piggies, so the full mesh protection is perfect to help predator and prey safely coexist. It is also great for piggie playdates in the yard since you can take out the bottom for grass playtime. We have hawks so again the protection is great. So far a great product." —Craig R

Promising review: "I love this bowl!! It's lightweight. You could shove it in your pocket. It has a loop for hanging or attaching it. I've used it a few times on walks and around the house. My dog loves to drink from it. It holds more than her collapsible dog bowl. Today I leak tested it. I filled it with cold water so at first it did have some moisture under and around the bottom. After two hours, several dog slurps and the water warming, there is no moisture and the bottom is dry. Just noticed it was sitting in direct sunlight so I temp tested. The water inside is still very cool. This is a great buy!!" —baduffy

Promising review: "I got this for a petite cat whose wily ways drove me to try walking her. She LOVES it, but she pulled out of the first two (skimpy) harnesses. This one is better and more secure — especially when you pull the Velcro tight before snapping into place. The two leash hooks make it even more secure. She could probably still wiggle out with serious effort, but it's the best I've tried yet. Plus she looks like a bada$$ mofo, which counters my own crazy-cat-lady-walking-her-cat vibe just enough to be passable." —LBB

Promising review: "The toy has been up for about two weeks and it seems to be holding up well. My dog is a little lazy and needs the exercise but won't play fetch/return. One run down and she is done, so this toy was an experiment. I am happy to say she loves it. It is the first thing she runs to when she is let out. She will play with it for about 15 minutes before she gets tired. All seems very durable and safe. I would recommend this toy!" —KShoe

Promising review: "Purchased this for my 12-year-old 45-pound Labradoodle to get him in the pool and getting some exercise. He doesn't have a lot of muscle anymore but this does a great job of holding him up so he can swim some laps. It fits him well, and it easy to take on/off." —Majape

Promising review: "We have a kitty at our apartment complex that is technically homeless (although about 10 families feed her and love her!). She used to have a box that we put under the porch cover to keep her warm, but I wanted to treat her to something special. This house is perfect! It’s really only good for one kitty, but the kit is super easy to put together and is very sturdy. It will definitely keep her warm and dry this winter. The top lifts up and can stay propped up, which was great for her getting used to. (I was afraid she wouldn’t go in if she felt trapped.) The kit smells strongly of cedar, which may be good/bad depending on your opinion. But I feel that the smell normalized after a day or two of being outside and propped open. We put a thinner pillow inside to make it even more comfortable for her. We also painted the 'cat condo' sign and put her name on it. I would highly recommend it to anyone that needs an outdoor shelter for their furry friend." —Katie Smith

Promising review: "Our 4-year-old German Shepherd will go absolutely BONKERS if she sees this bad boy coming out of the closet. We have to keep it locked away, otherwise she will dig it out of her toy box and smack us with it until we take her out to play with it. It's a fun toy to throw in the park for her to chase, and once you figure out the perfect throwing technique, it'll have 'hang time' in the air to allow for the dog to jump up and snag it before it hits the ground. Great exercise for her that also wears her out and lets us have some peace and quiet. The squirrel is very durable and has withstood our GSD playing tug-of-war with a 6-month-old Labrodoodle with sharp puppy teeth. The undersides of the 'feet' glow in the dark too! So many people have stopped me in the park to ask 'What is that thing??' and I just tell them to look for the Flying Squirrel on Amazon. Just buy the dang squirrel, you won't regret it!!" —Loakes13

Promising review: "Wow!! This hasn't been out of the box 10 minutes and my little Shih-Poo Girl is exhausted!! She loves squeaky toys, but she usually has the squeaker out in 5–10 minutes, and she gets upset because they don't make noise anymore. I was looking on Amazon for some dog toys and I was watching the video about this ball and she heard the noise and started barking and looking all over for it, That's when I knew I had to try it with her. Now she can get some exercise that I cannot personally help her with (I'm disabled)." —hill1000

Promising review: "My dog loved playing Frisbee but broke all the other ones we have bought him, until I found this! We play everyday he even sleeps with it sometimes! It flies so far and really good! There are no teeth marks in it nor has he been able to rip it up or anything. It's super easy to clean as well. He absolutely lovessss it! Totally worth the money! Totally recommend for anyone's dog who loves Frisbee!" —Lana96

Promising review: "I bought this for my cat so that she could be outside with my husband and I while we relax on our back porch. She adapted to it very quickly. We assembled it indoors and let her adjust to it by going in and out of the cage at her leisure for a day or two before taking her outside. We have a covered rear porch so we're able to store it outside through warm weather and roll it up the screen door for her get in. She positively loves it and will begin crying to be outside the moment she sees the cage. She enjoys lounging inside and watching the birds, squirrels and chipmunks that come into the yard. She is a small-framed cat, weighing about 8 pounds, but this cage would work for a larger kitty too. It's her own portable 'catio!'" —Mae Clair

Promising review: "Really happy I purchased this mat. I was on the fence last year due to the price, but it is well worth it. My Aussie loves to be outside no matter how hot it is and after a swim likes to lay on the cool garage floor. Now she's a bit more comfortable and cool! Once she comes inside, I bring the mat in and she still likes to lay on it inside. The mat is very easy to brush off with a hand broom or a towel!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I am now the proud owner of THREE of these dog pools. I have an XXL, an XL, and an S pool for our backyard 'frogs' that wouldn't stay out of the big pools! Yes, I bought the frogs their own pool...that's how amazing these pools are! We had the XXL and XL pools out every day last summer (changed the water twice per week) and they were used daily by all three dogs. There have been no punctures of any sort or any issues at all with these pools, and my dogs can play pretty rough at times. The XXL pool was used for both the 2018 and 2019 summers with no issues. These pools are literally my dogs' favorite part of summer... I can't keep them out of them! As soon as we get back from a walk, they jump right in!" —Kate M

Promising review: "Stealthy Alpaca is...well, stealthy. He's very difficult to locate on my five acres in the dark. He doesn't make any audible noises and unlike the horses, you can't even hear his footsteps. He takes great pleasure in hiding behind bushes and not revealing his location as I walk just 10 feet away calling his name. I'm sick of thinking he's escaped, stolen, or dead. Illumiseen collar solves the problem. Ninja no more, ha!" —Polomare
