Promising review: "They work beautifully to minimize vomiting, coughing, and retching associated with hairballs. We have three cats. Two of them have mild hairball issues during shedding seasons, and one of them just vomits all year long if untreated. We used to use Laxatone or Cat-Lax, etc. This worked when we used it, but they hate it, so we had to apply it to their paws during a messy wrestling match, and they would occasionally violently shake it off onto the carpet or wall. As a result, we did not give it regularly, and there was a lot of cat vomit. These treats work like a charm, and without the messy wrestling match associated with putting glop on their paws. The cats all love them." —Patricia

Promising review: "I read the other reviews before buying this product. I was still skeptical until I used it myself. I have a multiple cat household and need to clean floors daily. This broom is great! It has two sides. One looks like a fine rake, the other side is smooth. I also used it on furniture and the cat hair thoroughly came up. I can clean without using my vacuum cleaner. Honestly, I have an expensive Dyson and this broom cleans the cat hair up better than the expensive vacuum cleaner." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "Having multiple dogs is a pain to clean up after, especially during the changing seasons. With this I was able to REALLY brush away all their excess fur with ease and they love it! SO easy to use, empty, and to wash if needed. VERY happy with my purchase! I just wish I had bought it sooner." —Kuheler

Promising review: "I am a dogsitter, and dog hair is the bane of my existence. This little contraption has CHANGED MY LIFE. I went to visit a friend, who is also a dogsitter, and I was amazed because you couldn't tell there were multiple dogs because there wasn't dog hair on all the furniture! I was skeptical, but it works. It took a bit to figure out how to use it effectively. I wanted to drag it down repeatedly in one direction, (like you would if you were brushing hair) but it works better to go back and forth (like painting something). I have dogs that have long and short hair, and it gets all of it up." —April S

This portable carpet cleaner will spray, brush, and suction up any stain, no adult supervision needed. It also comes with a hose and tool attachment if you'd prefer a more hands-on cleaning session.
Promising review: "This has been a savior in my house. It is so easy to use — just fill the solution/water chamber, place on the stain, and let it do the work. Empty the gross water and done! With multiple cats running around, there's a stain to be cleaned at least once a week, and this thing hasn't failed me yet. The detachable hand-held function is nice, but I don't use it very often. I'm more often lazy, and choose to just run the programs instead. So far, I feel like mine has already paid for itself, saving my rental apartment carpets from innumerable stains." —Turf Girl

Promising review: "There are few products I own that I love as much as this one. If you have multiple pets (I have two dogs and two cats) you need this. With two attachment tips there is NOTHING it cannot take pet hair off of. The rubber spiky tip takes the duvet on my bed from gray matted cat fur back to burgundy velvet in minutes. The black rigid attachment cleans sofas like nobody's business. I'VE GOT A DOG-ALLERGIC KID so picking up hair is critical here. When the Bissell has done a couch she can sit there without problems. Lots of pet hair cleanup value for a low price." —Litgal

Promising review: "I was extremely excited to receive this product. I currently have two of my own dogs, one is 42 pounds and another is 80 pounds. I also work for a rescue so as you can imagine, there is lots of poop to pick up. This product is helpful because you don't have to carry anything additional to put the poop in. And the scooper part works great through the grass and dirt to get the poop off the ground. It was way easier than my previous one, where I was constantly having to bend down to get something or carrying an additional trash bin to place it in after it was picked up. I would recommend this product for anyone who has dogs. I have well over four in my home at all times and this has helped in so many ways to keep the yard tidy." —I Williams

Promising review: "If you have multiple cats, you know that they have their own personalities, likes and dislikes. While one cat likes laser toys the other one doesn't. While one likes feather toys, the other one runs and hides from them. With this toy, they both like it and play with it. We've had this toy for a while now and the wire did bend a little and we lost some of the compressed cardboard but it's still usable. They still play with it and our chunky cat really jumps for it." —Amra

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.
Promising review: "I have six elderly cats, and a few of them oftentimes leave smelly pee puddles to register their disdain at whatever cats get 'peed off' about. It's not a litter box problem and, although I've caught one or two of them doing it, I can't blame them all. This product works great on fresh messes as well as dried ones. After blotting up fresh pee pods, I saturate the area with Rocco & Roxie's odor remover and let dry. For dried stinky stuff, I just saturate the area and let it dry. It has a pleasant odor and completely eliminates the ammonia odor. Believe me, I've tried all kinds of products, and this one works the best. I buy gallons now just to have on hand. It's better than smelling that awful pee!" —mona mia

Promising review: "The item is even cuter than in the description, and it's very soft. When I first tried it, I thought the purr was very loud, and that it might scare my two senior cats, who are almost 17 and 18 years old. However, they both LOVE the purr, and it seems to soothe them and help them settle in. Both have numerous chronic health issues but still have good quality of life. The older one, though, is on appetite stimulants, which can make her a bit agitated for a few hours after she has her dose. The toy really seems to help her calm down. I do have to keep touching the head to restart the purr every two minutes, but that's fine. I'm always looking for ways to enhance my kitties' quality of life, and I'm grateful for this find!" —SociologyReader

Promising review: "This is one of the few toys that my three rescue dogs really enjoy. I just put a cup of their dog food in the pockets and tabs, and they enjoy trying to find it. The mat is durable, and whenever it gets dirty, I just throw it in the washer and dryer and it comes out like new." —K. Engelmann

Promising review: "I have an 8-month-old cat who is constantly shedding. He has black fur, so as much as I love him, it's annoying. I bought the wipes and decided to try them out. At first, I had to tempt him with treats while I would 'bathe' him. Over time, he actually became more tolerant and seemed to like it. I recently started fostering kittens, and it was time for their neuter. They had to wear a cone for a bit, and I noticed their fur becoming greasy. I used the wipes, and it was amazing! The kittens actually liked it, and I think they felt better after. One wipe goes a long way, and none of them have an issue with smell or anything. I love the ingredients and the gentleness of the product. Also as a side note, my boyfriend is mildly allergic. When there would be a lot of hair everywhere, he would sneeze. When using the wipes to cut down on the shedding hair and dander, he noticed an improvement. Granted, his allergy is more an annoyance than something serious, but he really appreciates it." —Katie

Promising review: "This product is amazing. We do cat rescue...so I'll just leave it at that. It immediately changed the smell in our home. No more smell, unless it's immediately after someone uses a box. Air just smells cleaner, more fresh. We started with one and bought two more!" —M. Otto

Promising review: "My Ike won't drink unless it is out of the faucet. Having a two-sink bathroom, I devoted one to him. But the water dripping constantly cost money on the water bill and the spigot got crusted from the minerals and the sink was always black from his paws. I put this on the counter next to the sink and he loves it. He now lays next to it to feel the motor run and hear the water and I really think he's drinking even more. I pull it apart once a week and clean thoroughly but I can say there has NEVER been any slime to the water. The filter in this unit does a great job. I only have to refill every few days. I've now reclaimed my sink and happiness abounds. My other big boy discovered it and now I have two kitties laying on the counter taking turns drinking from the fountain." —Donna

Promising review: "Who knew this could be so helpful in so many ways??? This bowl has resolved many food issues in our multi-pet home!! It has taken meal time from about 1.5 minutes up to 10 minutes for one dog, and more for the other. It has ended food aggression issues in our house. And best of all, my dogs are enjoying a meal and seeming completely satisfied after." —Lizzy

This automatic feeder can hold up to 12 meals depending on the size of each portion (you can choose from 1/8 cup to 4 cups).
Promising review: "Needed something so my three cats would stop hassling me at 5 a.m. This was the only feeder with decent reviews, could be programmed for multiple meals, prevent my cats from opening it, and do small enough portions. Took a couple trials for the plate to use underneath, but instead of buying three individual feeders I put a dog food mat from PetSmart underneath. All the cats are somewhat aggressive except one but they seemed to have figured it out so they all can eat." —Matt

Promising review: "I received this product today and I haven’t put it down since. I have two pets and dark wood furniture so there are noticeable scratches on just about every surface. It feels like you’re wiping the scratches away, it’s instant! The polish is nice as well; all the furniture has a glossy shine without feeling greasy and the smell is very pleasant but not overpowering. All the surface scratches have completely disappeared and while it didn’t completely fix some of the deep scratches it helped to camouflage them significantly. I can’t wait to find more applications for this product." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "My cat loves tearing open food bags and in our small kitchen, keeping the cat food in a drawer was taking up valuable space and I quickly got sick of going to the garage to portion dog food. This container made my life so much better. My dogs’ food (right now a 15-pound bag) fits perfectly in the bottom (fills to about two thirds) and my cat’s food can go in the top. Now all their food is in one location and the container is kitty-proof." —Emaina

They are bigger than you'd think and easy to cut for custom sizes! I also use them at the corners of the doors on the carpet to prevent them from scratching up the corners of the carpet when I lock them out of my room." —Kari

Promising review: "Have six cats and only two of them don't mind a real bath. This product smells great and the cats love this addition to their weekly comb and brush routine. After I comb and brush them, I apply the foam to their coat (it doesn't take much) and continue to brush until they are dry. Their coat is soft and silky afterwards and they smell like they had a real bath." —J. H.

Meowy Janes is a wonderfully named small business based in New Egypt, New Jersey. It specializes in catnip and catnip alternatives.
Promising review: "I have two young Siamese mix cats that chew wires, shoes, wooden spoons. These chew sticks are perfect for them. They sniff the sticks, rub on them, and then start chewing. My two cats that are over 10 years old just rub on them but don't enjoy chewing them. If you have a very active cat that does destructive chewing, these are a great substitute." —JEM4612

Each litter box comes with a pre-portioned package of litter that you pour into the tray. It will start cleaning 20 minutes after it's detected that your cat has left the box. When the tray is full, simply remove it and dispose of it.
Promising review: "I've considered an automated litter box for years but kept putting it off. I'm so glad I finally got one! It sets up easily, both the litter box itself and the phone app. Our cat adapted to it immediately. Actually, she was climbing inside while I was putting it together and started using it regularly right away. The app shows when it detects the cat entering the box and when it rakes the box clean 20 minutes later. There has been absolutely no smell at all! Today the app alerted us that it was time to replace the litter (right at four weeks from installation.) Our auto-delivery of the replacement litter arrives tomorrow. To change it out, we'll just lift the plastic unit up, slide out the old box (the soiled litter is under a flap), and use the lid below it to place on top then discard. After a quick wipe down with a sponge, the new box will slide underneath and we'll be good for another month. The cat loves having a fresh litter box every time she enters and we are thrilled about not having to deal with cleaning it!" —terry

Promising review: "After running Eufy for nearly two months now, I can confidently say I absolutely LOVE it! It is amazing on my hardwood floors. It picks up sooo much fine dust brought in by my two German Shepards! They shed year-round! And it’s super effective with pet hair! Wow! I use Eufy once a day for a little more than hour, emptying and cleaning the brushes out about three to four times during use. It seriously has been life-changing, keeping my floors cleaner than sweeping! Great purchase and I would highly recommend!!" —Jacqueline M
