1. A rechargeable nail grinder featuring a low noise design to help make quick work of extra long nails in need of trimming without traumatizing your pup or stressing you out.
Promising review: "This is amazing for my dog! She hates when I clip her toenails and is always super timid but using this drill not only cuts the time down but also ensures her nails are even and helps to prevent me from cutting her quick. It charges super fast. I love that I can drill down her nails on the couch laying in the bed or literally anywhere because it’s wireless! Love love love, buy it! You won’t regret it." —TheoTheo

2. A Poop-Off cleaning spray, so your house doesn't look like the behind-the-scenes of Hitchcock's The Birds... 🤢 This spray helps you safely remove any bird droppings from almost everything with a nontoxic and biodegradable formula.
And if you don't own a bird, it will still work on your outdoor furniture that might be the unfortunate target of your local avian residents!
Promising review: "I wish I had bought this years ago. Don't be cheap like I was! I've kept parrots on and off for 17 years. I just got this for the first time, and nothing has ever cleaned off nasty caked-on poop like this, with the exception of my pressure washer. According to the label, it can be sprayed on poop while the bird is around. Unbelievable. So I've started spraying the grate every day, and no more stacks of poo! Yes, I'm not the best about staying on top of it, but with Poop-Off I can just spray the caked-on poop once every day, and it doesn't have the chance to build up. I use Publix Puppy Pads in the tray and on the tray for the play top because they are the best pads on the market. They have an internal gel so when I spray the grate, it's absorbed immediately after dripping down off the grate. Now that I'm in a wheelchair, I don't have the luxury of disassembling the cage once a month. Spraying once a day IS something I can do without assistance, and this spray has given me back a cleaner home without the smell of bird poop (ugh). Had I not been so cheap before and just bought this stuff, I would have saved the backbreaking work of cage cleaning for many years." —Possum Queen

3. A cleansing cream for wrinkly pups or pets with stubborn tear stains. I mean, just look at that before and after photo! Wouldn’t you be happier without all that gunk under your nose folds? Give this dog all the treats!
Promising review: "This cream is a miracle worker. My 2-year-old English bulldog had yeast in his wrinkles. I cleaned everyday with hydrogen peroxide but it didn't clear it up. It just kept it from getting worse. Then I used a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and apple cider vinegar but nothing. I also used the products from the Natural Dog Company but my bully hated the smell. One night I came across this product. I was desperate and decided to give it a try. Within 24 hours of using Squishface I noticed a huge difference. Within 48 hours it was almost gone. By 72 hours it had cleared up. I clean his face before bed and apply the cream. I only use once a day and that was enough for us. I can't say my bully loves it because seriously what bully likes having their wrinkles cleaned? He tolerates it and I love that it worked for us. It has no smell to it, it's natural, and it WORKS!" —KS92

4. A bottle of Folex spot remover with over 49,000 5-star ratings from customers amazed at how effectively it makes stains disappear from pretty much any fabric surface. If you're potty training a puppy or have a furbaby who gets a little too excited and pees a little on the carpet, couch, etc...with this in your cleaning arsenal, you can't lose.
Promising review: "I've been using this spot/stain remover for about 10 years now. It really is magic. I've removed numerous stains and spots with it over the years and have only come across two stains that it would not remove. Unfortunately, I don't know what the stains were caused by, so can't pass that along. I've used it on both carpet and upholstery, and it has never changed the color of either. I would definitely test it on an inconspicuous area first, though, as the directions state. And it's so easy to use: Spray some on the stain, agitate it with your fingertips, then blot dry with a cloth or paper towel. You may have to let it sit on tougher stains for a few minutes before agitating and blotting, but I only had to do that once or twice. Definitely recommend." —Alex
Get it from Amazon for $6.65+ (available in three sizes).
5. A long-handled pooper scooper rake and bin set for anyone whose backyard is practically a minefield of dog poop and bending over with a plastic bag every five seconds is taking you to your breaking point. *internal screaming* This will scoop it all up, saving your back and patience the headache.
Promising review: "With three dogs, two small and one large, scooping the yard is a never-ending job. But with the Arm & Hammer swivel bin and rake, there is no more bending to pick up the doggy droppings. I am able to easily use the rake to push the droppings into the bag covered bin. When I am done cleaning up the yard, I just simply remove the plastic bag from the scoop, tie it off, and dispose. I do spray the rake off with the hose sprayer and then clip the rake onto the scooper for easy storage. I really like this handy scooper. It makes a very icky job much easier to handle." —Kelly Eldred
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
6. *OR* a DogBuddy pooper scooper because let's be real: picking up dog poop can be an awful experience. This scooper is designed with built-in bags, so the mess is collected and bagged up with barely any work on your end. Plus, it can attach to your leash for easy access and use on your walks!
Check out a TikTok of the DogBuddy scooper in action.
Promising review: "I normally don’t leave reviews but this is amazing! It’s easy to use and saves so many dog bags if you’re taking a number of dogs on a walk because you don’t need to open a new bag for each poop. It also makes the whole process a lot less gross. I would 100% recommend this for dog walks and even picking up poop in the backyard. It holds a lot more than you’d think!" —Joslyn Cavitt

7. A UV black light flashlight if you can smell the pee, but cannot see it. 🤨 Shine this handy light in the dark and finally find the source of your pup's favorite spot when they're ~relieving~ some big feelings or figuring out how to mark their territory when you're not around.
Promising review: "We have the most amazing 13-year-old Lhasa Apso dog, Scout — but unfortunately, due to how well this light works, my husband and I discovered he is a secret serial pee-er. In his defense, he was diagnosed with bladder stones 3 months ago. Amazon delivered this light and within a half-hour, I was breathing into a paper bag and watching a grown man cry. What we thought were a few accidents that had gone unnoticed were revealed to be CSI- or Dexter-worthy crime scenes. Our spot-cleaning machine even cried out and threatened to quit and move out of our house. Luckily, we have a professional carpet cleaning company on the way, along with pet gates to prevent the further defiling and murder of our poor, innocent carpets. This is the first-ever Amazon review I've written because, despite sending my husband and me into panic attacks of shock, IT WORKS AMAZINGLY WELL." —Jennifer Hollingsead
Get it from Amazon for $10.79.
8. A cleaning magnet that'll keep your fish friends happy as a clam with a super clean tank. Instead of emptying or having to reach into the tank for scrubbing, this tool goes on the inside wall and attaches via magnet, so you can move it around from the outside, scrubbing and squeegeeing away algae and other gunk.
Each cleaning magnet comes with one pad for glass aquariums and one pad for acrylic aquariums.
Promising review: "As we all know the maintenance routine you are most likely to follow is going to be the one that is the easiest. I bought the small one for my 18gal, bowed front, glass aquarium; I absolutely love the ease of use. Cleaning the algae off the tank has gone from a monthly chore to an every few days routine, it only takes me a few moments to give the front and sides a quick wipe with the brush. No mess, no wet hands, and the fish don’t even really mind. In regards to the bowed front, if I use the scrubber in the vertical position and clean back and forth horizontally, it works perfectly (maybe takes a few extra passes because you are not using the entire scrub pad but not much more effort). The one and only complaint I have is that it has trouble getting in the corners and the very edge of the substrate." —Starr Voigt
Get it from Amazon for $9.49+ (available in four sizes).
9. A set of mini combs in case you're bringing home a puppy who tends to have tear staining or eye crust that wiping away with a wet cloth just isn't a good enough solution. The combs will detangle fur around the eyes for effortless cleanup.
Promising review: "Love these little tear combs. My dog has really bad tear stains. I bought Angel Tears pet tear stain remover, which removes the reddish rust stain, but not completely. I get the eye really wet with it on a cotton disk then comb the hair under and around the eye with this little magical comb. You get all the yuk out of their hair." —Debbie Darling
Get it from Amazon for $5.95.
10. A Bissell Crosswave Pet Pro if your long-haired furbaby is head of household and you've got the ridiculous amount of shed fur all over to prove it. This multifunctional must-have not only vacuums, but also mops, so you can get all your cleaning done throughout the house in a single go without having to swap out for a different tool when you move on from the living room to the bathroom to the bedroom.
This magical appliance works on hardwood, tile, linoleum, carpet, and more! Watch it work its magic in this TikTok.
Promising review: "We recently remodeled and got all wood floors, and have two puppies as well. I tried three different vacuum cleaners, a regular manual mop, and a steam mop. There was no way to keep up with these floors and puppies! I had nearly given up when this product was recommended to me. It gets all the sand and mud and pet hair up all in one swoop, while mopping and shining! Please note: It doesn’t get dog food kibble up, that’s too big to fit under the vacuum. It does get ALL sand and dirt up! I love it!" —Erin Vail
Get it from Amazon for $267.99+ (available in assorted bundles).
11. An anti-itch ear treatment to help soothe your pet’s irritated ear canals and lobes. The best part is, all you have to do is apply it to their inner ear, rub their ear to rub it in for a bit, let them shake their head a few times, and back to business.
Promising review: "This is by far the best stuff on the market today. I have a Cavalier King Charles/cocker spaniel mix and every once in a while he will get an ear/yeast infection. Nothing else seemed to work until I tried this. I gave it to him three days in a row and it’s completely gone! I won’t even bother to try anything else besides Zymox now. Well worth the price and extremely fast shipping. Saves me about 50–60 bucks considering I don’t have to take him to the vet for this particular issue anymore. If you’re having the same issue then try Zymox first before taking your dog to the vet like I did twice before I found this stuff. Absolutely perfect product!" —FinnishFlash
Get it from Amazon for $23.79.
12. Or these aloe vera ear wipes if your pup is prone to waxy ears, but starts running at the sight of the bottle of ear drops or simply can't stay put long enough. Turn those daily cuddles and pets into a soothing session of grooming by gently cleaning out their ears with alcohol-free wipes.
Friendly reminder that aloe vera and eucalyptus can be toxic for dogs when ingested (but safe on skin unless allergic), so make sure your pups don't swallow these wipes and always supervise cleanings if not doing it yourself!
Promising reviews: "These wipes are very convenient to have. It definitely beats pouring solution on a cotton swab while trying to also keep your dog sane. Just grab a wipe and do your thing. My dogs actually seem to enjoy ear cleanings now. And they really do clean well. There’s so many in a container, it lasts me a long time." —Bekah
"These have really helped with ear cleanings for my golden retrievers. We have tried a few different products. My dogs seem to not mind these wipes. They do a great job of collecting the gunk. I recommend!" —Brittany

13. A top-rated soothing balm to help tend to your pooch's skincare concerns, including itchy skin, bug bites, cuts, rashes, burns, and even hot spots. Over 8,000 customers have rated this 5 stars for how well its blend of moisturizing cocoa butter and softening vitamin E has worked for their furbabies!
Promising review: "I have been buying this product including their soothing wipes and dog soap for five years! This helps my pitbull with her heat rash due to allergies and is the only product that works quickly and she enjoys it! When she sees me getting the tin she runs to her bed and lays on her back! Love this product!" —Stephanie Gamboa

14. The TikTok-famous Bissell Little Green carpet and upholstery cleaner that's made to tackle those stubborn stains like pet vomit, feces, urine, mud, etc. on your favorite furniture and not just your carpet, but also your stuffed animals, curtains, car interiors, really anything upholstery-ish you can think up.
This thing is a miracle worker! I have a ten-month old chow chow puppy, and we've successfully entered the no-more-accidents-in-the-house phase of life 🙌 , but I had five months of poorly-cleaned stains from vomit and urine on my carpets that needed some serious power put behind them. I nabbed the Little Green on a discount during Fall Prime Day and a week later, my puppy threw up SEVEN times after a later dinner and very exciting round of the zoomies throughout the night. Long story short: this portable carpet cleaner removed every single stain, including older stains that I thought had set into the carpet and were a lost cause, and I learned I can use it on my couch from a previous vinegar and baking soda stain! If you have pets of children, I seriously recommend adding this portable cleaner to your arsenal. I wish it came with a storage bag because I literally take it to other people's houses to tackle their stains. So satisfying!
Promising review: "The dog that I raised as my child decided to vomit whatever snack he ate last night. Also it sat in this rug for about 9 hours. Needless to say, I was annoyed. Haven’t used this baby too often but I’ve borrowed it to people. I got to it this morning and did a before and after a clean that took about 10 minutes or so. I didn't dump the water yet cause I’m going to use the rest on some other spots. But it works great!! I totally recommend this to anyone who has pets or any other little friends who make messes. Adult friends or child friends. I’m sure this will work great. 10/10." —Wendy Campos
Get it from Amazon for $96.78+ (available in three configurations).
15. A cat litter deodorizer because no one likes walking into a house that smells like a dirty litter box, but who has time to clean it out everyday? This odor-absorbing powder keeps your space smelling its best and even works on multi-cat homes!
Promising review: "The only thing that truly works! Having had cats my entire life, I have tried probably everything on the market that claims to eliminate cat litter smell and nothing ever has done what this does. I have a male and female cat and I cannot smell litter after using this. No smell! It’s amazing!" —Meghan

16. Or a bag of premium clumping litter that your cats will love as much as you, thanks to its odor-control, dust-free, and low-tracking formula. Over 46,000 people have rated this 5 stars for a damn good reason.
Promising review: "Love Dr. Elsey's cat litter! I have tried several brands throughout the years with my cats and this one clumps nice and it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan hardly at all. If it does stick a little, it will scoop off easily. It has almost NO DUST and the litter barely sticks to my cat’s paws. This litter is superior over all of the brands I have tried. It also has good odor control too. I smell it a little bit but not as much as some of the other brands. If you’re thinking about trying Dr. Elsey’s litter, go for it, I don’t think you would be disappointed... Make sure you get the ULTRA litter. I have tried the other ones and they are pretty good too, but this one is the best out of all of Dr. Elsie’s litter." —Roku Fan
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
17. A liquid tartar remover in case brushing your dog’s teeth ends up way more of a hassle than any other part of grooming, IMO. Simply add it to their water bowl and revel in fresh(er) breath during your next round of puppy kisses. Plus, your vet will be hella proud of their pearly whites.
Promising review: "I’ve tried other product for my dogs that never worked. After only a few days of adding this to their water, and that awful bad breath is so much better. This is the first additive I’ve ever claimed it works, but it really does. My girls had awful breath but this makes that better and I can even see a difference in their teeth. It appears it is taking the tartar off of their teeth and I may be able to cancel their dental appointment. Love the clean breath and the teeth appearing to be cleaner. Worth every penny!" —NG
Get it from Amazon for $10.12+ (available in three sizes and two flavors).
18. Burt's Bees dander-reducing spray because it'll help your cat’s coat look its best by minimizing flakes, softening skin, and reducing redness. Add this to kitty’s grooming routine for a purr-fect spa day!
Promising review: "I love this product for my cats, their skin is healthy with no pet dander. And it helps to comb through thick hair easily. It makes the cats coats so shiny. I also ordered the wipes because it is convenient and quick. People don’t believe my daughter is allergic to cats and she can come by for a movie because I keep cat dander away. And I have three cats!" —Blitzz
Get it from Amazon for $10.96.
19. A handheld shower attachment if you plan on grooming your pup at home and want to make it's as easy as possible, while still delivering a quality rinse. Professional groomers swear by this one according to reviews and a bunch of pet owners have installed it for in-home grooming, whether DIY or by a visiting pro.
This showerhead can be installed into your current bathroom shower as a secondary shower head or connected to your outdoor hose, if you'd rather bathe your pet outside! It comes with an 8-foot flexible hose for extended reach, an indoor diverter for your shower installation, a suction cup hook to put it off to the side when not in use, and an outdoor adapter to connect to your hose.
Promising reviews: "I purchased this as I have a groomer who comes to the house to groom my dogs. She absolutely loves it and is now recommending it for all of her clients. She says it relieves any tension in her back and actually gets all of the soap out to where she is using less water than before. That’s a win for me." —ER
"LOVE THIS! I have a golden retriever. Bathing him in a tub of water with a cup was awful. Decided to buy this and I don’t regret it. The spray of the hose is pure perfection for getting through his double coat. Before I even apply soaps to him, the spray from the hose takes out SO MUCH of the dirt and yucky stuff that builds up over time. Yet it’s gentle enough that it doesn’t hurt him. Not to mention, it makes my job easier so I can do what I need to do in a much smaller time frame so he doesn’t need to go through the stressful bath process longer than needed. So he’s thankful for this as much as I am. Seriously, it was easy to install, anyone and I mean ANYONE can do it. It works. It’s convenient. And it’s not breaking the bank. I do not have one complaint so far!!! And with the different sprayer settings, it has a shut off setting too so you can save that water!!! Seriously, the best thing little money can buy for your dog grooming needs in your own shower. Win win!!!" —DMM
Get it from Amazon for $48.17.
20. The Tubshroom in case you decide to save big bucks on professional grooming and do it yourself in your bathtub. This will make sure you don't end up with a very expensive plumbing problem in the future by preventing your pooch's thick or long fur from clogging up the drain during each rinse.
You'll have to pull the hair off it afterwards, which might gross you out or fascinate you depending on how much there is, and leave the Tubshroom to air dry so it doesn't end up gross itself.
Promising review: "I’d seen this product recommended everywhere and thought I’d give it a try. It is worth the hype! It catches all of the hair (mine plus our dog’s because we bathe her in the tub lol) while also allowing water to flow the center and drain. It’s like magic. So many other drain catchers stop of the flow of water every time. But this works like a dream!" —Matthew Taylor
Get it from Amazon for $12.97 (six colors. Have a pop-up or flush drain? Try OXO's hair catcher instead, $9.99 on Amazon.)

21. A soothing nose butter created with Vitamin E, jojoba and hemp seed oils — so good at softening, we love to use them in human-grade skincare products too — to help soothe pups with dry, cracked snouts, so they can stop trying to treat it with their tongue.
Promising review: "Our boxer had the crustiest, driest nose for years. Three different vets couldn't offer any solutions for years! We tried olive oil and other remedies, but nothing worked. After the first application, there was noticeable improvement. After a few days of treatment, our beloved boxer's nose is looking great and on the road to recovery. I'm so disappointed in our vets for not knowing this product. If you are a vet, you NEED to recommend this product and stock it at your office. It is a miracle worker! LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE this product and finally able to kiss my baby on the nose again." —M Keady
Get it from Amazon for $5.95.
22. A waterless cat bath, which is designed as a skin-moisturizing, leave-in foam, so it’ll take zero effort to bathe your kitto and you both will probably come out unscathed.
Promising review: "A beautiful female stray adopted us a few years ago. Against my husbands wishes we brought her in our home and she is now a loving part of our family. Since she is indoor/outdoor (she loves her outdoor time still — we hate it!) she gets stinky. Usually I wash her down with a cloth. But this last time she had an odor that was just horrid. You literally could smell her across the room. We tried a few things and nothing worked. Ordered this foam and I am not going to say she 'liked it' but she did smell better. She is extremely particular about where you can touch and where you can't, so having myself and my daughters rubbing her with foam wasn't her best experience! Using this is going to be her only bathing options from now on. Would definitely recommend!" —Lisa Valentino
Get it from Amazon for $10.39.
23. An enzyme-based carpet cleaning solution for anyone who's owned a dog for awhile now and their carpets and rugs have been collecting dirt, mud, urine, poop, crumbs, and more deep down in the fibers for some time now. If you're this close *pinches fingers together* to ripping up the carpet — try out this biodegradable and non-toxic cleaner (adored by over 9,000 5-star rating reviewers, BTW) and ugly cry at your carpets looking and smelling like new.
Promising reviews: "My foster dog decided to paint my brand new rug with his poop (twice in one week). After using this stuff in my little Hoover pet dash, you couldn’t even tell! There was no lingering smell, no evidence of the poop at all, on a white rug. We even use it to spot treat any accidents, it cleans better than Resolve." —Kristen
"With a 3-year-old, three dogs, and a husband who loves to wear his work boots all the time our 12-year-old carpet has seen many spills, accidents , vomit, grease and dirt from everyone. I needed something that was gonna take care of everything. This REALLY WORKS!!!! pictures are proof. My house smells better and looks a million times better and I'm not embarrassed to have the lights on in the loving room with company over anymore. I used this in the Hoover dual power max carpet washer. I am so happy with this product and the results it has been a game changer for sure!!! Will purchase again!" —Denise H.

24. A grinding stone for anyone who battles with their bunny or other four-legged furbaby when it comes to shaving down those ever-growing teeth and nails. This stone is created with natural lava rock, which allows your critter to file their nails and teeth on their own whenever they need to!
Promising review: "Packaged really well. My rabbit started chewing and scratching on it immediately!! He loves it. Will definitely buy again." —Robert J. Cardwell
Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in a single pack and a double pack).
25. A pack of Earth Rated grooming wipes if you've got a pup with a fluffy butt that gets seriously nasty on a 💩 walk. Instead of using rough paper towels on your pooch's most sensitive area, these plant-based, odor-controlling wipes are perfect for keeping your pup clean without having to give them a bath.
I use these wipes every single day. No exaggeration. Look at that floofy butt. Yes, he manages to get poop on it during every potty trip that results in a #2. I was using warm, wet paper towels until I saw a 400-pack of these on sale during Fall Prime Day. THEY ARE SO MUCH BETTER!!!! They are so soft, and now, my puppy barely reacts when I have to wipe his butt, and it is so satisfying seeing all the dirt and poo come off of my buddy's backside and onto the wipe, so I don't have to worry about my rugs or couches being stained later on. 😮💨 PLUS, I use them for eye goop, dirty paws, his beard area, and even his wee-wee if it looks like it needs some extra TLC between baths and grooming appointments. Seriously, get these. Buy the 400 pack. I have a pack in the car, his go-bag, at home, and keep a few in a sandwich bag in my fanny pack. Also, they are thick and a pretty good size, so for booty cleaning, I only need to use one wipe, no matter how messy.
Promising review: "I use these on my dog's paws after every walk (she's walked 4 times a day as we live in an apartment) and they clean her paws perfectly and do not irritate her skin. I also use it on her behind to keep the area clean." —Sukipatookie

26. A Litter Robot — this splurge-worthy product makes a welcome addition to your household if you own at least one cat! It automatically cleans up 30 seconds after your cat finishes its business, making sure everything is clean for the next time or the next cat. And the best part? You have to worry about cleaning up litter waaaaay less than if you were dealing with a classic litter box situation.
BuzzFeed Shopping editor and cat mom Jenae Sitzes owns this high-tech litter box, and here's what she has to say: "When my mom first told me about this $500 automatic litter box she'd read about somewhere, my eyes just about popped out of my head thinking about spending that much on a thing that my cats poop in. But after thinking about it some more, I realized it's actually a pretty reasonable investment since I plan on owning cats forever but shamefully hate cleaning out their litter boxes as often as they really should be.
I've been using the Litter Robot myself for 2+ years now, and I'm pretty sure both me and my two cats are way happier for it. After a cat is done using it, the Litter Robot waits a set amount of time until the cat's presence is no longer detected, then begins to rotate, collecting the waste into a bag at the bottom while retaining the clean litter in the barrel. I usually don't detect a smell from it afterward, though once the bag starts to get really full, you might get a subtle reminder that you need to take it out. I only have to take out that bag about once a week, and a flashing light will let you know when it's full.
Initially, the cats were a little spooked by the sound of the Litter Robot during a cycle, and for the first few weeks, they would just sit and stare at it, as if it would get up and run at them if they took their eyes off it. At this point, though, they've completely adjusted and accepted it as their way of life, making my life a heck of a lot easier while ensuring they always have a clean bed of litter. It's a pricey purchase, to be sure, but if cleaning out the litter box daily or even every other day is hard for you and you'd rather not think about it much at all, I say the Litter Robot is worth it. One thing to note: It's quite large, so make sure you have a dedicated space for it."
Get it from Litter Robot for $549 (available in white or gray).
27. Or, a self-cleaning litter box if you're sick of constantly scooping and cleaning the litter box to keep your cat(s) happy and want a more affordable alternative than above. It comes with a disposable tray filled with odor-controlled litter crystals that self-cleans for weeks before it's time to remove, toss, and replace.
An LED health counter and motion sensor monitors the frequency of your kitty's bathroom breaks and a manual rake button allows you to clean the litter box if you feel like it needs some refreshing. And grab reusable trays here!
Promising review: "It’s been almost a year I think since I’ve gotten this litter box and it is the best expensive thing I’ve ever spent on my cat. I had a hard time cleaning the box even when I wasn’t pregnant, which resulted in nasty clumps stuck to the bottom of my normal boxes and even rendering my roll-based “self-cleaning” litter boxes useless. The smell is contained a million times better than with regular litter box. It takes 30 seconds to change out, and I don’t have to worry about it for either a month or at least 20 uses. My cat is even a lot happier, and has never once pooped on the floor or on my carpet. My only two complaints are so minor: Having to wipe down the machine every so often and get poop off the grates, and the crystal litter does track out of the box and hurts to step on (like dull glass shards 😭). Super easy things to fix and overcome, honestly. The money is worth not having to scoop out cat poop ever again." —Nina
Get it from Amazon for $169.95+ (available in three styles).
28. Orrrr a set of Bissel Stomp 'N Go stain removal pads just perfect for anyone who tends to clean up pet messes (well, urine that is) by stepping on a paper towel. These easy-to-use pads were designed for area stain removal and get to work in just a few easy steps: set, step, leave for 30 minutes, and remove. Time to tackle that vomit stain on your carpet that never seems to come out!
Promising review: "This stuff is absolute magic! I first purchased these pads a few years back when I got my puppy and she made my living room rug her personal pee pad. It's unbelievable how the stain just rises to the pad and removes the smell! I just finished my last pad so had to replenish. I will say, the fresher the stain is, the better this product will work but it definitely does improve old stains as well." —Natalia H.

Promising review: "I have nothing but positive things to say about this shampoo. I recently purchased this shampoo for my pitbull named Hera. She always had issues with her skin and coat, but after she had he first litter she had bald patches and was almost bald in the flank area (her sides). The first time I used this product I followed the bathing instructions. It's now the nine days later and her coat looks better than it ever has. The first picture is after the first wash. The last was the eight days later. All I have to say is give it a try, I am so happy I did.—Edlorra Newbold

30. An odor- and stain-eliminating spray that works like literal magic, releasing enzymes to tackle stubborn pet messes *and* get rid of the odor, so your pup doesn't make it a habit. This is my favorite spray to use for cleaning up my Chow Chow Tormund’s pee, poop, vomit…literally everything.

Promising review: "I love EVERYTHING about this. Like every other reviewer, we've tried every other option we could find to get rid of urine stench and stains. Ours were from an elderly dog who couldn't make it through the night sometimes. Long story short, we have YEARS of urine stains that, after being 'cleaned,' continued to reappear. Now every single recurring stain on our carpet is GONE! Not a single one has returned. I don't have sufficient words for how truly thankful we are for this product. It's like NOTHING else. And the cherry on top is the wonderful scent when you first apply it and NO scent once it's done it's job. So, from the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU for these amazing products." —Anita McCarty

This is designed with soft silicone bristles on the inside to lift dirt from the fur and paw pads of your pooch's feet. Just add water, their foot, and twist!
