    31 Problem-Solving Pet Products Target Reviewers Swear By

    Grab some products that ~hit the mark~ according to pet owners.

    1. A pet carrier if your cat or dog has decided that their carrier is Public Enemy No. 1. This bag is designed to keep them calm — it's roomy and has a heads-out design — so you can travel with and groom them without issue.

    2. A bag of hairball control cat treats for kitties who are prone to leaving you furry surprises. Ensuring your cat gets frequent brushings and has plenty of fresh water should also help reduce the frequency of their hairy hack-ups.

    3. A Bissell Little Green Pet Pro, because who wants to spend hours on their hands and knees scrubbing cat vomit from the carpet? The answer: no one.

    4. A pack of stain-removing pads that'll make you feel like you're taking the lazy way out of dealing with pet messes. Just place it on a stain — pee, poop, vomit, and even wine spills — and stomp. Then watch the spot disappear!

    5. An interactive cat toy to quickly replace the bin full of other playthings you've bought your kitty over the years...and that they now won't even look at.

    6. An odor-eliminating spray so you can lift stains and odors 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.

    7. A pack of Burt's Bees cat wipes if you want your cat's coat soft, shiny, and free of dander and flakes. It's made with aloe vera and oatmeal to condition dry skin and reduce redness.

    8. A liquid tartar remover for dogs who desperately need their teeth cleaned but who also won't let you near them with a toothbrush. (Think of it as doggy mouthwash!) Just add this to their water and you'll notice your dog's plaque and bad breath subside.

    9. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement because your doggo deserves relief from their allergies and skin sensitivities. These soft chews deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients to help improve immune function, aide digestion, promote healthy skin, and add shine to a dog's coat.

    10. A pooper scooper that'll scoop the dang poop so you don't have to kneel down to pick it up.

    11. An automatic water fountain to encourage your picky cats to stay hydrated. Some cats hate drinking still water (long story short, it's a defense mechanism), so a fountain with running water may be more enticing.

    12. A bag of Pill Pockets so you can disguise icky medication that your dog immediately sniffs out and avoids when you try to hide it in their food.

    13. A scented clumping litter if you're tired of inhaling an ammonia-scented dust cloud after every single scoop. No more trying to hold your breath the whole time; this dust-free litter clumps together tightly so it won't crumble mid-scoop and has 10-day odor control.

    14. A nail grinder for trimming your pup's claws so you can cuddle without getting scratches all over your legs and arms. It's super quiet and smooth, which is ideal for dogs who get spooked by regular nail clippers.

    15. A waterless cat bath because as much as we love Princess Fluffy, we hate when she stinks of poop and disdain for the human species. This leave-in formula can moisturize her skin and leave it squeaky clean.

    16. A rechargeable LED dog collar that'll grant you peace of mind if you have a large backyard and your pupper likes to go outside one more time before bed. No more losing your black dog!

    17. A bag of oral hygiene sticks to loosen built-up plaque and tartar on your dog's teeth. They also contain hemp seed and fatty acids to help support your pooch's immune function and skin health.

    18. A slow feeder bowl so you can stop your dog from inhaling their meal in a minute flat. These ridged bowls can help improve digestion, reduce bloating, and encourage your dog's foraging skills to keep their mind active.

    19. A pet-proof seat cover if you want to bring Fluffy on your hike or beach trip but don't want a backseat covered in sand, dirt, and fur.

    20. A hair-removing glove for curbing your dog's shedding as well as satisfying his endless desire for some rubbies. It's great if your dog or cat goes running at the sight of a brush.

    21. An automatic pet feeder because it's time to regain your freedom from your furry overlords. No more being woken up at 6 a.m. by a hungry pet or having your Zoom meetings interrupted by yowling in the background because dinner is one minute late.

    22. An anti-itch spray that'll dry out hotspots so your poor pup isn't scratching and scratching. It's also great for relieving itchiness related to allergies, dry skin, or dermatitis.

    23. An ear treatment to clean your poor pet's ears of buildup and prevent inflammation and irritation. These ear drops are designed to protect against a variety of fungal and bacterial infections, like yeast and staph infections.

    24. A snout soother so your pup's snoot stays soft, moisturized, and oh-so boopable.

    25. A set of folding stairs because your fur baby just wants to join you on the couch for cuddles. It's great for senior pups and short-legged dogs who have trouble jumping or can't reach higher surfaces like a couch or bed. And despite it weighing only 5 pounds, it's sturdy enough to be able to support up to 150 pounds.

    26. A splurge-worthy pack of unscented poop bags for holding, as the name implies, poop! They're extra thick for big messes, made of cornstarch, and have easy-to-tear seams so you can grab your pet's mess and go.

    27. A Chuckit! ball launcher because you want to tire out your energetic pup with minimum effort on your part. You'll both have a ball — literally and figuratively!

    28. A slicker brush that'll loosen fur, lighten your dog's undercoat, and prevent future mats.

    29. A 20-pound food storage container to keep your pets' kibble fresh and out of their greedy paws. The snap lock latches will prevent moisture and pests from getting in and there's even an integrated scoop holder.

    30. An adorable squirrel toy so your furry friend has an equally cute cuddle buddy. It has a built-in squeaker so you can encourage your pet to get a little exercise with a frisky game of fetch.

    31. A durable chew toy if your dog is a vigorous chewer who's destroyed every other toy that's crossed his path. It has a large opening in the base so you can stuff it with peanut butter or treats to keep them occupied for hours.
