    25 Pet Products That Succeeded Where All Others Had Failed

    Before you completely give up on finding the purr-fect product for your pet, take a look at these reviewer-loved options.

    1. A grooming rake for anyone whose dog sheds more like a yeti, IYKWIM. This convenient brush is perfect for double-coated pups or pets with just really thick fur to help prevent matting and stop shed hair from coating literally everything.

    2. A liquid tartar remover because brushing your dog’s teeth can be 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.

    3. Orrr, a convenient dental powder that’s also easy to use: just add it to your pet's food bowl! An veterinarian-formulated blend of zinc, cranberry powder, vegetable fats, and probiotics help protect your pup’s teeth and support gum health.

    4. 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!

    5. A pack of matatabi chew sticks — they make a perfect treat if your cat turns their nose up at regular catnip. This alternative is made with Silvervine for a delectable treat that also helps keep their teeth gleaming.

    6. A mounted brush for the cat that's obsessed with rubbing up on furniture or receiving those good scratches that only you can deliver. Now, you can give your hand a break without leaving them begging for more pets.

    7. A de-shedding glove that tackles your furry friend’s grooming routine with such ease, they’ll think you’re just really lovin’ up on them when you use it. And now you can sit on your couch (or in your car) without being covered in fur, too. 🥲

    8. A top-rated interactive flier toy because it has over 28,000 5-star ratings from customers whose cats are anything but grumpy when playing with this under-$5 gem of a toy.

    9. A simple stuffed duck that proves looks can be deceiving because reviewers swear this plush dog toy holds up to even the fiercest of puppy teeth, so much so, your pup may even go from tough love to building a fur-ever friendship with it.

    10. A moisturizing paw butter created for desert-dry paws and noses that need a little TLC. Plus, it’s perfectly safe for pets who like to lick themselves overzealously.

    11. The uber-popular Chom Chom pet hair remover that's earned over 113,000 5-star ratings from reviewers whose leggings, sweatshirts, couch cushions, cars, and more are now (temporarily) pet hair-free after each use. BTW, that’s literally the same amount of people as the entire population of Ann Arbor, Michigan who have rescued their all-black wardrobe from shed hair.

    12. A set of mini combs in case your puppy tends to have so much eye crust that simply wiping with a wet cloth isn’t enough. The combs will detangle fur around the eyes for effortless cleanup.

    13. 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.

    14. 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!

    15. 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.

    16. An automatic water fountain created for the bougiest pets that prefer drinking from a water fountain over a basic, boring bowl of still water. Kinda like you, with your well-stocked fridge of La Croix.

    17. 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.

    Reviewer's before and after showing the treatment cleared all the brown crustiness from their dog's ears

    18. A length-adjustable pet hair broom that might end up replacing your vacuum (just kidding, you'll still want to vacuum because of dirt, dust, and surface pet hair), but its rubber bristles will remove all the embedded pet hair your vacuum misses. Just look at those pet-sized piles of hair in the photo! 😭

    19. A soothing nose butter for dry, cracked snouts, so your dog can stop trying to treat it with their tongue.

    20. A waterless cat bath — it’s a skin-moisturizing, leave-in foam, so it’ll take zero effort to bathe your kitto and you both will probably come out unscathed.

    21. A purring cat toy, so you can soothe your anxious kittens, both in the crate and after bringing them home from a very stressful vet visit.

    22. A Wobble Wag Giggle ball that’ll have your pup’s tail wagging and still leave them worn out and happy, thanks to its internal silly noisemaker and convenient clutch pocket design that makes it easy for your pet to grab and carry.

    23. 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!

    24. An odor-eliminating spray that works like literal magic, releasing enzymes to tackle stubborn pet messes. This is my favorite spray to use for cleaning up my Chow Chow Tormund’s pee, poop, vomit…literally everything.

    25. And finally, a touchless stationary vacuum to make dust pans a thing of the past because once you bring home a double-coated pup, those dust pans are pretty much worthless. Just sweep your giant pile of pet fur over and it'll suck it right up!
