    30 Underrated Pet Products That Are Actually Worth Purchasing

    Including dissolving tablets to relieve itchy paws, leggings to prevent snowballs, and an under-the-door cat toy.

    1. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement if your doggo needs some sweet, sweet relief from itchy hot spots. These soft chews deliver a dose of probiotics and other nutrients to improve immune function, aid digestion, promote healthy skin, and add shine to a dog's coat.

    2. A broom for pet hair to loosen the fur trapped in your carpet. It works just as well on wood and linoleum, with the rubber head working as a magnet to attract stray hairs. There's also a built-in squeegee for wiping up liquids or for cleaning glass. Plus, the handle extends from 36 to 60 inches so it can reach practically any mess.

    3. An adorable and basically tear-resistant stuffed duck so you can stop spending money on toys that your furry destroyer shreds in approximately 10 seconds. This lil' yellow duck doesn't look like it, but it's built to last.

    4. A mounted brush that'll satisfy your cat's ceaseless demands for scritches. Just mount it to a corner with the included adhesive strips and watch as your beloved babies leave you for the warm embrace of this gray-and-white piece of plastic.

    5. An odor-eliminating spray for lifting 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.

    6. 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.

    7. A pet hair remover if you love your fur baby but hate how much they shed...on everything. Roll it over your couch, bed, favorite blanket, you name it, and watch it lift the fur away. See, we can own nice things!!

    8. Or a nail file board to keep their claws from becoming overgrown. This is like an emery board for your dog and is great for pups who cannot handle clippers or grinders.

    9. A cozy window hammock so your cat always has something interesting to look at. This is key to helping your pets stay active, because bored kitties often won't want to exercise.

    10. Some calming bites for high-strung and high-energy pets that are designed to comfort and soothe without causing drowsiness. Use them before a long car ride if you know travel winds up your dog. Or give them a chew after dinner to help settle them before bed and prevent some 11 p.m. living room zoomies.

    11. An ergonomic litter scoop because it solves a lot of the struggles of scooping poop. The scoop itself is large enough to hold several loads so you don't need to make as many trips from the litter box to the trash can. (And when you do unload in the garbage, simply press a button and the bottom flap opens up to deposit the nuggets in the trash!) Plus the tall side walls excavate more litter than your shallower scoop while keeping your hands far away from the danger zone.

    12. A pack of matatabi chew sticks if your cat doesn't give a lick about catnip. Matatabi is a plant native to Japan and a catnip alternative. Plus, the stick format helps keep their teeth clean.

    13. Or a wall-mounted catnip toy to gift your kitty a fun treat. This groove board contains four balls to pique their interest — catnip, silvervine, gall fruit, and cat sugar. And it has the added benefit of helping keep you feline's teeth clean as they try to bite the balls.

    14. 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.

    15. A Wobble Wag Giggle ball with an internal noisemaker and six pockets that'll engage your pet's natural curiosity and having them rolling, fetching, and shaking it until they're panting.

    16. A low-effort pet hair remover for collecting pet fur that's deeply embedded. Just run it over your carpet, couch, clothes, and car seats!

    17. A creamy paw butter because your pet deserves a little spoiling. This balm moisturizes dry, cracked paws and snoots and is safe if licked or swallowed.

    18. A pack of paw-cleaning tablets if your dog is experiencing itchy and irritated paws but licks off any salves you apply. These tablets dissolve in water, so all your pet needs to do is soak their paws for a few minutes and let the tea tree oil and seaweed extract treat hot spots and moisturize their paws.

    19. 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.

    20. A wood polish so you can hide the scratch marks from your dog's overgrown nails along the bottom of your doors and on your wood floor.

    21. An adorably ~a-peel-ing~ fruit tart pet bed that'll keep your fur baby cozy and provide tons of cute Instagram photo ops. I'll be ~berry~ sad if you don't get this!

    22. A pair of dog leggings (!!!!!) for keeping Fido's legs — not just his paws — protected from many of the hazards of winter. Now he can play in all the puddles and snow and you don't have to deep clean your carpets. A win-win!

    23. A durable three-level cat tower because it's equal parts practical and equal parts fun. It comes preassembled, so it's literally ready to use out of the box. Which means your cats can immediately stop destroying your couch legs and instead shred the sisal sides. On top is a plush cat bed (and ofc each level provides a cozy resting spot with a bit more privacy), and on each level is a hanging ball they'll love batting around.

    24. An easy-to-use dental powder you sprinkle in your pet's food to protect their teeth from plaque and to ward off bad breath. Each sprinkle is packed with probiotics and nutrients like zinc, taurine, cranberry powder, and vegetable fats to support gum health.

    25. A "Did you feed the dog?" sign if Fido is taking advantage of confusion re: whether he was fed to trick you into giving him another scoop of kibble.

    The sign, which has little levers you push to green in the a.m. and p.m. when you feed the dog

    26. A purring cat toy so your anxious kitty can enjoy the sensation of curling up to another purring "cat." It also plays calming, comforting sounds.

    27. An interactive cat toy that'll 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.

    28. A pack of recordable answer buzzers for anyone who's seen the TikToks of people training their pets to "talk" and have wanted to try it themselves. Now you don't have to worry about accidents in the house because they can tell you when they need to go.

    29. An under-the-door cat toy because you didn't think there was a toy made specifically for using under a door...but there totally is. If your kitty loves chasing strings under the door, or likes to paw or bite at fingers under the door, they'll probably love this knitted toy.

    30. A set of elevated cat bowls if you're looking for a hella functional yet stylish option for mealtime. Treat Mittens like the princess she is with these stainless-steel bowls that are angled to reduce neck strain. The design of these deep, wide bowls also helps prevent whisker fatigue (aka when the whiskers are overstimulated by being touched too much).
