1. A wall-mounted groomer toy that'll allow your kitty to enjoy all the scritches while the brush removes and collects their loose hair.
Plus, this comes with some catnip so you can lure your cat into using it!
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first, but we have two wall corners that our cats are always rubbing on that we have to constantly wipe clean. Assembly and installation took less than five minutes for both. I placed them at two different heights, one that would be comfortable for them to rub their faces on, and the other so they could rub their body along. The cats were leery at first, but it didn't take long for them to figure out what was up. Now they're always rubbing against it when they go in and out or walk past. Glad they're enjoying it, and that we not longer have to keep wiping those walls down." —Jason Ross

2. A pet hair roller because everything about our little friends is absolutely perfect except for the fact that their fur and hair get on everything we own. But we still love them, right?
Promising review: "Having two dogs (beagles), there are days when I sit on the couch and get up looking like Bigfoot. Even after we sweep, the dogs roam through the house determined to undo anything that has been freshly vacuumed. I was kinda skeptical about how well this would work, but it’s honestly amazing! On furniture, this picks up hair better than the plug in vacuum. We’ve had this for a year and would absolutely buy another one if we needed it!" —Mark B.
Get it from Amazon for $25.45.
3. And a pet hair-removal broom and squeegee that'll help you get rid of the furry mess your fluffy friend leaves behind on your carpet. It might not be visible to the naked eye, but you just KNOW it's living in there...and TBH...it's quite gross.
Promising review: "This is hands-down a must-have if you have dogs who shed! I was skeptical but desperate. At the price point I thought why not try It. OHMYGOSH! Am I ever happy I did!! I have five dogs: three are golden retrievers. I can make five more dogs out of the shredding they do. A broom is fine, but the fur floats away and then you get the bonus of having to pull whatever is stuck in the bristles. GROSS! With the FurRemover Broom, you don’t have to, and the fur stays in a pile. The squeegee on other side helps clean under furniture that is too heavy to move. You will NOT be disappointed! I have hardwood floors and big throw rugs. It works awesome on both! Paws down the best out there! Helps my vacuum not get all gnarled up with dog hair! It’s easy to clean and the perfect length. I hope I touched on most points without making this review too long! Two thumbs up!" —Beancrew

4. A nail grinding tool for a seamless way to trim your pup's nails. They'll be happy no clippers are involved, and you'll be happy when they don't scratch you.
Promising review: "Our dogs: one is nearly 15 years old and the other is 11 and blind. I could never clip their nails myself as they hate it so much. The only option was to bring them to the vet. I was skeptical with this device but gave it a chance to try to save $$. It's very quiet; I hardly hear any noise. The grinder won't overheat after the continuous use. Very gentle and super easy to use. Both of my dogs couldn't care less while I was working on their nails. They both were so relaxed and ended up falling asleep snoring. Thank you for making the nail trimming without stress for me and the dogs!" —MS
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in six colors).
5. An immune system supplement that serves two purposes: helping to prevent seasonal allergies and reactions, and supporting your pet's digestive health.
Promising review: "My dog loves these. We live in the south so allergies are pretty serious here. When spring came around I noticed he was constantly gnawing at his paw and wasn’t eating as much as he used to. I did some research and found this product. I was skeptical, as he’s kind of picky, but he is obsessed with them. He waits at the pantry door every morning for them. He thinks they are treats. I noticed — within hours — that he was no longer gnawing at his paw and his appetite was also back to normal. When he finished his first tube of these, I decided to wait to order more and see if they really worked or if his allergies just wore off. A few weeks went by and I noticed him gnawing at his paw again and not eating. I ordered them Sunday and he’s back on them again. He was so excited to see them again and is no longer gnawing at his paw :)" —Alyssa

6. Lifting pads you can just press down into rug stains — ya know, things from your beloved pet like dirt, urine, and more. Keep it there for up to 24 hours and say, "Adios, stains!"
Promising review: "WOW! Honestly, I was a little skeptical of the promise of these pads, but I bought them just to try out. THEY WORKED AMAZINGLY WELL! Seriously. I have some stains that are 1.5–2 years old. I've tried everything to get them out. I put these pads on the stains (two to cover the spot), let sit for about an hour, pulled them up, and the stain was gone. I truly couldn't believe it. The pad was yellow. Somehow the old urine was soaked up into the pad. My carpet looks like new. I couldn't recommend these any higher for what I wanted and what I got. Wish I could give this more than five stars." —Matt

7. A cat dancer toy so your furry friend can spend hours jumping, chasing, and well...dancing around as it plays. Not to mention, as a cat owner, you're in for a real treat watching them play with this. Get ready to smile, laugh, and take some epic photos.
Promising review: "I was so skeptical but our cat LOVES this toy. He doesn’t get tired of it like he does with the other ‘dancing’ toys (feathers on a string tied to a stick, essentially). I also like it because his claws don’t get stuck in it so I don’t have to worry about ripping out his little hand. Great purchase, will buy more!" —Kindra
Get it from Amazon for $3.53.
8. A shaver clipper set to make clipping their fur easy peasy lemon squeezy.
Promising review: "I have been so stressed about grooming my poodle mix during quarantine while groomers are closed, because the last few times I attempted with Wahl clippers was stressful for both him and me. I impulse bought these hoping things would be different and they were! I was skeptical, but the cordless clippers were so light, easy to maneuver and cut through his curly, lightly matted fur so well I was pleasantly surprised. One grooming appointment costs more than these clippers and I am very glad I made the investment." —Lisa Vandenberg
Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in six colors).
9. A pack of essential-oil infused cat chew sticks for your favorite feline. They'll love how these chew toys feel against their chompers and you'll love that it keeps them busy for hours. A win-win.
Meowy Janes is a small business based in New Egypt, New Jersey that sells natural catnip and catnip alternatives.
BuzzFeed editor Chelsea Stuart raves about them. In her own words:
"I recently tried some of these out with my cats and they were a hit! TBH they've never really been super into catnip — they'll play with it but they don't go wild — so I was excited to see they were into these. They bat them around, rub their faces all over them, and ultimately, when they're done, hide them under a chair or in their cat condo so they can come back to them later."
Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical about this, but my cat likes to sneak outdoors and will chew on sticks or leaves that I may drop on my way to the waste bin as I carry them through the house to the garage. This is his favorite Christmas present. He is all over it. Then he naps. Funny." —Rebecca Warren
Get it from Amazon for $10.21.
10. A dental health powder you simply sprinkle onto your pet's food as if you're a magical fairy giving them the mystical gift of clean teeth and fresh breath.
Promising review: "I have to say I am amazed by this product. My dogs love the taste and the plaque is coming off of my older dog's teeth. My puppy didn't have any and I am hoping this will keep it off. You can see the plaque in the water bowl. I was skeptical but it is working. Not sure if it will take it all off but I am amazed that it is taking off what it has." —Kathleen Wal
Get it from Amazon for $20.91.
11. A pet hair remover glove to make brushing your dog's hair easier for both of you. They'll love how it feels against their skin, and you'll love that they're happy!
Promising review: "I was skeptical because I didn’t understand how the hair would stick to it since the bristles didn’t seems like they would catch hair easily. I was so wrong. I don’t understand the science on why it gets so much hair, but this got SO much hair off my cats. And within just a few minutes of using it." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $8.99.
12. A portable carpet and upholstery cleaner that boasts strong spray and suction so cleaning stubborn stains will feel effortless. Messes left behind by pets shouldn't mean permanently ruined carpets, furniture, or car interiors.
Promising review: "I was super skeptical. My dog was not feeling well and started relieving himself on our bedroom rug. I had tried multiple spray cleaners and techniques but couldn’t get the smell out. I was convinced I’d need to get rid of my rug and this was my last shot. I honestly thought I’d have to return it. Nope!! Easy to assemble. Easy to use and clean. I used it with the pet cleaning solution. My rug is clean and odor free!!! I’m excited to use this on my couch and in my car now. So happy!" —Brittany
Get it from Amazon for $109.
13. A cat dander spray infused with oat flour and aloe vera to condition your kitty's dry skin and help reduce flaking.
Promising review: "I was really skeptical about this but I thought I would give it a try because my cat's dandruff looked like she had snow on her back. I’ve used this twice and her coat is very shiny and soft now with little to no dandruff. I will say the spray noise does freak her out so I have to do it quick before she runs off." —Rachel Patterson
Get it from Amazon for $7.59.
14. A pooper scooper that'll take care of the whole picking up your pup's poop off the ground thing for you. Thank you, pooper scooper, thank you.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first. It looked cheap and I didn’t think it would work as well as my old one with claws. I WAS WRONG! This was so much easier! Put the bag in, and rake it in. It’s also easier to get the 'stuck' stuff in the grass because of the rake action. Def recommended!" —Tina6875
Get it from Amazon for $19.99.
15. A stain and odor remover because those messes and unpleasant smells left behind by your fur babies are no match for its cleaning powers.
Rocco & Roxie is is a family-owned small business that sells all sorts of great pet products like collars and leashes, shampoos, and small-batch treats!
Promising review: "I was skeptical of this product when I saw the price, but the reviews convinced me to splurge. I have a pup with a sensitive tummy, so I walk in to messes after work more than I’d like to. We recently moved to a new place that has much more carpet than my previous. This has posed a real issue, but this stuff got all the stains up within 45 minutes. I was even more shocked that it COMPLETELY removed the odor. Will definitely be keeping this on hand!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $19.97.
16. An interactive giggle ball that wobbles and bounces around with just the nudge of your doggo's nose. Their new favorite toy incoming!!!
Promising review: "I was skeptical when it first arrived and considered returning. My reason: my doggie did seem to know what is was at first 🐕 But in no time at all, she's wild about this goofy ball. I've examined its durability, and she (whose bite force is of pitbull) hardly put a mark on it! Man those goofy sounds it makes 😆, as long as I hear that, I know my doggie is having a blast and keeping occupied." —Julius A.W.
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
17. A purring plush cat toy your little bb kitty is gonna adore snuggling up next to and playing with — beyond precious.
Promising review: "At first my cat was skeptical. It took her a minute to warm up to it but once she did, she loved purring back to it. She’ll snuggle right up with it, and I can tell that she instantly relaxes to the sound. If your cat isn’t into it at first, keep placing her by it or on top of it while it purrs." —Sara P
Get it from Amazon for $15.83.
18. A litter box odor eliminator you need if you've ever panicked right before having guests over because you realized the awful smells you've grown accustomed to from the litter box will most definitely scare your loved ones away.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first but this definitely takes down the litter box smell by 85%–90%. It also works in garbage cans. It has a minty smell, but I got used to it as it smells far better than dirty litter box smell." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $11.97.
19. A pet ear cleanser for a painless and easy way to treat your fluffer's dirty ears so they 1) don't suffer from infections down the line, and 2) can REALLY hear all the compliments you want to give them.
Promising review: "We have two mini poodle crosses that are both prone to ear infections. We've been to the vet multiple times to get different types of ointments, drops, and washes. Most work but are messy, stinky, or the infection comes back within a couple of weeks after completing treatment. I got a bottle of this for far less than one vet visit. It treated a stinky, yeasty smelling ear that was starting to turn red and within two days it looked all better! We completed the full week of treatment over a week ago and so far his ears look nice and healthy, so this works at least as well as the expensive stuff our vets tried. It's a bonus that this stuff does not seem to make a mess; just squirt some in the ear, squish the ear around, wipe any that leaks with a washcloth, and you're good to go. No vinegary stench like the vet's last product. The ear infection smell is totally gone and the dog is much happier. I was skeptical but for the price compared to yet another vet visit decided to give this a shot based on all the good reviews and I'm totally a believer!" —Mom2Minions
Get it from Amazon for $23.79.
20. An automatic pet feeder to prevent begging, hungry eyes from interrupting your day-long 100th Netflix binge-watch of Selling Sunset.
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 reviews: "I was skeptical about these because the price was so reasonable but we own three now! Easy to program, cats can't break into the food, and it goes off as scheduled. Love it." —David B
Get it from Amazon for $89.95.
21. A dry shampoo for cats because they're walking around the house with the scents of their litter box radiating off of them but you hate giving them a bath as much as they hate getting one. No worries! Just use this amazing product and bask in the glory of their clean smell!
Promising review: "I have an overweight cat and it's difficult for him to groom his back. Even though I would try to help him by brushing him, he still had awful dandruff. I had never used as waterless cat bath foam before, and was very skeptical. I put it on my chunky monkey, let it dry, and then brushed him. The results were instant! He has a very soft coat, but now it is even softer, and the smell is very pleasant. I did it twice in one week, and have seen such a huge reduction in his dandruff that I probably won't have to do it again for a couple of more weeks." —Internet Shopper
Get it from Amazon for $10.29.
22. An self-cleaning litter box so your purr-fect bestie's potty break is odor-free, and you don't have to change the litter or scoop 💩 until the tray is full!
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 was a little skeptical about paying so much for a litter box but definitely made the best decision. There is literally no smell and the litter lasts for at least 30 days for my cat. Before we got this litter box, we were changing the litter every two days and that was sometimes stretching it out too far to where it smelled throughout part of the house. My cat is 14 and had trouble adjusting to the crystals so I called the helpline and they gave me some tips to get her using it and now we have no trouble what so ever. Would definitely recommend this litter box to anyone!! Easy to put together and comes with your first disposable tray and crystals." —Aldrich
Get it from Amazon for $169.95.
23. A portable paw cleaner to prevent your little mush from tracking dirt and other yuckiness into the house or car.
Promising review: "I have to admit that I was skeptical...but this is worth EVERY PENNY and more! Our great dane's paws would track in huge amounts of dirt/mud, and wiping them down with a towel was never good enough. This is definitely big enough for his huge feet, and he doesn't even fight it. I wonder if it feels good on his paws? The fact that the rubber 'bristles' are removable for cleaning out afterwards is an awesome bonus, too. You can actually see all the dirt it's cleaning off. My husband loves it, too. I'm sure it will also come in handy when we take our dogs RV-ing!! Thanks for a great product!!!!" —Bitsy C :-)
Get it from Amazon for $11.28+ (available in three sizes and six colors).
24. A vanilla-mint toothpaste that'll make teeth brushing a more seamless experience for both you and your fluffer — they're gonna like the taste and you're gonna like that it doesn't have the same yucky scent meat-flavored pet toothpastes typically have.
Promising review: "I was skeptical, but this stuff really works! For years I put off brushing my dog's teeth, thinking it was ridiculous. I didn't see how you could brush a dog's teeth thoroughly enough to make any difference. Then, after putting my dog through an anesthetized procedure to clean his teeth and being out several hundred dollars, only six months later the plaque was already building up to levels where the vet was saying his teeth needed to be cleaned again. I tried everything else hoping to spare him the stress of the anesthesia and my pocketbook the cost of the procedure. My vet recommended this product, and I figured, 'What do I have to lose?' My vet explained that it's not the physical action of brushing the teeth that's important, because this toothpaste has enzymes that break down the tartar, so you just need to smear it around the teeth. I started brushing his teeth daily and very quickly noticed an improvement. His teeth have been cleaner and cleaner the longer I use the product. Along with an antler to chew on, his teeth are looking very clean and healthy and he got a good checkup from the vet at our last visit!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $10.92 (available in three flavors).
25. Pet tearstain combs for simple removal of crust and mucus around your pup's eyes.
Promising review: "I was a bit skeptical to buy this, but I'm so happy I did...and so is my little dog. It does a fantastic job of gently removing all her eye goop." —Michelle J
Get them from Amazon for $5.95.
26. A wrinkle paste that'll assist in cleaning out wrinkles, tearstains, and tail pockets from your precious little buddy's body.
Promising review: "I was very skeptical to purchase this product and figured it wasn't expensive if it didn't work. I rubbed a small dab on my cream colored French bulldog's eye wrinkles every day for two weeks and saw amazing results. All the black tear stains were fading away and after about a month they are completely gone and now just use it about twice a week for maintenance. I am thrilled with the results and still have quite a bit left in the tube. A little dab goes a long way. Love love love!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $18.49.
27. A dog feeding tracker so your hectic routine doesn't get in the way of trying to figure out if Fido's begging eyes are because he's actually hungry or wants to try and pry a second serving of breakfast from you.
Promising review: "I was skeptical at first to buy this but after a month of using it, I have been amazed it’s helped me and my husband keep track of how often we feed the dogs so we don’t overfeed them and has helped one of our overweight dogs lose some weight, which is great!" —Rachel Kay
Get it from Amazon for $11.95 (also available in a cat version).
