1. An adorable and dog-beloved squeaky stuffed duck you'll wanna take endless pictures of your dog napping with. How cute is this unexpected animal friendship???
Promising review: "My dog Hazel LOVES this duck! She has had it for nine months now, and it’s still intact! It somehow made it through her teething as a puppy. She rips and tears apart all of her toys, but this one still looks decent!" —Emily Ann
Get it from Amazon for $6.72.
Check out my coworker's Multipet Duckworth duck toy review for more deets!
2. Or a cute chew-resistant plush toy with an ultrasonic squeaker only your dog can hear so they can have fun and you can have silence.
Promising review: "I have an auditory processing disorder and that makes squeak toys very difficult for me. I always had to be very careful as to what toys my good girl could have. This has solved all the problems! The only sound I can hear is the air being pushed out and she goes nuts for it! Best of both worlds! If only all dog toys were like this!" —V. F.
Get it from Amazon for $12.99.
3. A Dash dog treat maker if you wanna shower your pup with homemade goodies. This makes eight yummy bones at a time!
Promising review: "My dog loves the treats made in this maker, and I love the relative ease and speed. I wasn't wild about the included recipes, but I found quit a few good ones online. The online recipes make between 36 and 48 treats at a time — very generous — and use common household ingredients. Since I have a very fussy dog, I'm glad I found this." —Diane Mettam
Get it from Amazon for $24.99.
4. Or a bite-size silicone dog treat mold for freezing (or baking) goodies that'll keep your furry friend cool and well fed! Plus, frozen treats tend to last your pup a little bit longer than baked goods, so you'll have more time to yourself while they delight in their mini popsicles.
Promising review: "Love these molds. They're so cute and easy to use!! I filled them up with yummy recipes for my dogs and they came out perfectly!!" —Victoria Escobar
Get the pack of two from Amazon for $7.98.
5. A black dog backpack with mesh sides to keep your furry friend cool and comfy while hiking your favorite trails. It's designed so that you can also wear it in front if you wanna keep an eye on your pooch.
Based in Los Angeles, Oskar & Friends is a small Etsy shop creating the highest quality pet products while still remaining cost-effective.
The bag measures 10"L x 13"W x 14.5" H and can carry up to 15 pounds.
Promising reviews: "Beautiful backpack! Simple and functional. My dog is way more comfortable in this than other products I’ve tried. Love the quality and how sturdy it is! Feel very safe with it." —ronipham
"It has deep side pockets that allow me to carry water and my phone. It also has extra pockets for treats, keys, toys, etc." —Coco Bennett
Get it from Oskar & Friends on Etsy for $54.95+ (available with or without a blanket).
6. Or a legs-out dog carrier so your pup can feel the breeze hit their cute little paws. Perfect for hiking, this carrier has adjustable straps and an internal leash attachment for your dog's safety and comfort.
Small fits dogs up to 5.5 pounds.; medium fits dogs between 5.5–8 pounds.; large fits dogs between 8–14 pounds.; extra large fits dogs between 14–20 pounds.
Promising review: "I have a 3.5-pound Morkie puppy who I carry with me almost every place that I go. The carrier is water repellent and has a soft mesh front that allows easy air flow. The neck area is soft and will not press into your little one's neck. The shoulder straps are soft and won't cut into your body from the weight of your pup. I love the fact that my hands are free to carry bags while my little one enjoys the luxury of being carried. Also, I can relax knowing that my baby is in sight, close to me, and safe from direct contact with the public (especially with the current pandemic). Initially, it took a few minutes to get my fur baby accustomed to being placed in the carrier. After a few days, she was very comfortable with the routine. I am extremely happy with this purchase!" —Traci
Get it from Amazon for $21.95+ (available in sizes S–XL and six colors).
7. A glow collar — know that your dog is safe while also taking in the fun sight of neon prancing about your backyard. This is perfect as the sun starts setting earlier these days.
Promising review: "Now that the evenings are getting darker, and so are the mornings, this collar is exactly what we needed for our two puppies. We got one in green and the other in blue and both are BRIGHT. It gives us peace of mind because no matter what they are up to, we can see them. I will also add in that it has added a wonderful entertainment value to our evenings because it is like attending a rave in our backyard. We get to watch two glow sticks run and wrestle — it has been pretty fun. Beyond that, it gives us peace of mind that they will be seen by others so there is a built-in safety measure. We also got the leashes but haven't used them yet. I am sure after daylight savings ends we will need them for walks. I highly recommend these collars (and leashes!)." —TReader
Get it from Amazon for $17.99 (available in seven sizes and six colors).
8. Tasty and dog-safe flavored bubbles — you blow them up while your pooch has fun popping them! Blowing bubbles has never been so fun! And don't worry, this doesn't leave behind any sticky residue.
Sniffingtons is a small shop based in South Carolina specializing in enrichment products for dogs (and cats)!
Promising review: "My pup, Toby, is a 2.5-year-old Cavalier King Charles spaniel who loves bubbles. After catching them, he’d often give us an 'eww' look, as they tasted like soap. Until these. He LOVES these bubbles and seems to love the taste of them, too! I will gladly buy these again and continue letting him feed his bubble obsession in a tasty way! In addition, when I needed help with my order, Ash was so kind and gave me the help I needed! Highly recommend this shop!" —Elizabeth
Get it from Sniffingtons on Etsy for $8.50 (available in 11 scents).
9. A natural paw butter made from oatmeal, shea butter, and aloe vera to soothe your pup's dried and cracked lil' feet. Jagged rock salt can be quite the doozy on your pup's poor paw pads! Now walks will feel good for dog and owner. It'll also work on your pet's cracked nose!
Promising review: “One of my puppers is a super-athlete who lives to go for walks and on runs. She is about nine now and the vet gave her a stellar bill of health save one thing: her pads were getting really rough and worn from paved trails and city walks and this may be uncomfortable, especially as summer comes and pavement heats up. I was skeptical about any kind of balm as I figured that it would leave a mess on my floors or one/both dogs would just lick it off their feet. No problems whatsoever, and after a single application, both dogs' pads are really soft and supple. Hopefully the dogs can feel the difference. I can surely see it and feel it. Also, the balm smells like oatmeal cookies, so bonus for that.” —LRL
Get it from Amazon for $7.12.
10. Folding pet steps because your pup has already claimed a side of your bed so you might as well make it easier for them to get up there and cuddle with you. You can also use this to help your dog into and out of cars.
Promising review: "Great value and works really well. We have two large dogs (85 pounds and 92 pounds) and two big trucks (large SUV and GMC Sierra, a tall pickup truck) and this works just fine. It's just an inch or two short of the back of my SUV and maybe six inches shorter than the back of the Sierra. It's an easy extra step for the dogs. Folds down nicely to fit in either truck, and the dogs really do not have any problems getting in or out. Really helping our backs…NOT lifting these big (old) dogs in and out of our vehicles!" —Kristina
Get it from Amazon for $42.95+ (available in two sizes and two colors)
11. A stimulating treat dispensing toy if your doggy needs a little help slowing down their eating. It has three different difficulty designs, so they'll have fun figuring out this game for upwards of 20 minutes at a time.
Promising review: "This dog puzzle is great! I got it for our new 6-month-old puppy. She’s full of energy and needs ways to expend her excess energy. This is perfect. It is durable and just enough of a challenge to keep her busy. I would definitely recommend this for your fur friends." —DAI
Get it from Amazon for $14.99.
12. An Alexa-compatible dog camera and treat dispenser for when you think Spike deserves something tasty for not doing his business on your carpet while you're away. It's also two-way-voice-enabled so you can even tell him what a good boy he is!
Promising reviews: "We’ve loved having this product so we can watch our new puppy when we pop out. The best part is watching her trip out when she hears our voices." —Julee Dulin-Durant
"Great product! My dog is kind of an idiot so she gets REAL confused when she hears the voice, but she’s pumped about the treats so we’ll still count it a win." —Kristan
Get it from Amazon for $89.32+ (available in three colors).
13. A soy, hand-poured pet odor-eliminating candle to fill your home with soft and soothing scents instead of stinky smells. Now your pup might just escape that always-dreaded bath.
Red Barn Candle Company is a Dallas-based small Etsy shop hand-making all-natural candles for your home.
Promising review: "Smelled great! The smell lasted longer than other candles I've bought." —Ella Hubbard
Get it from Red Barn Candle Company on Etsy for $10.99+ (available in three sizes and lots of fragrances).
14. A doggy doorbell so you can let your energized pup out in the backyard knowing they will let you know when they're ready to come inside. Yes, your dog is a genius.
Some dog owners even use this to help them with house training! And the installation requires no tools or wiring!
Pebble Smart is a small biz whose doggy doorbell will help your dog communicate with you when they need to be let in (or outside).
Promising review: "It took about two months, but my dog FINALLY GOT IT. It was like something finally clicked with her. Now she looooves hitting the doorbell when it's time to come in the house. I'm now able to let her outside so she can take her time sniffing around the yard, and then she hits the doorbell when she wants back in the house. I love this!! And guests to the house find it hilarious when they see my dog ringing the doorbell. It works like a charm. My dog loves it too; she stands at the door wagging her tail and hitting the doorbell until I open it for her." —Michelle Vallerie
Get it from Pebble Smart on Amazon for $30.
15. A fun, interactive ball that giggles when rolled, engaging your dog's natural curiosity. And since laughter can be contagious, you might just find yourself giggling too! It has four clutch pockets so it's easier for your pup to pick up and hand to you for a game of fetch.
Promising review: "After seeing multiple recommendations in my dog groups I decided to take the plunge and buy it. My pup is an aggressive chewer and has not been able to chew through this. It is chew-proof so far. She’s a 6-month-old golden retriever. It’s durable as we have had it for several months now. She loves it and it keeps her entertained and she gets some exercise in. She's currently playing with it as I type. Good bang for your buck. A must-have." —Kim
Get it from Amazon for $14.99 (available in two colors).
16. Or a silent and durable plush ball because it's safe to throw around inside the house. Raining or snowing outside but Fido needs a good run? That's not a problem anymore!
Promising review: "Received this ball yesterday and my Frenchie played with it nonstop for hours with very few and short breaks during her play with the ball. Surprisingly bouncy, which I liked, and rolls very well on the hardwood floor as well as on the rug. I wasn't sure whether she'd like this as much as her Wobble Wag Giggle ball since this ball doesn't make any sounds (Hallelujah!), but this is her newest obsession." —SCN
Get it from Amazon for $4.99.
17. A medicated, anti-inflammatory chlorhexidine spray whose alcohol-free formula works to relieve your pet's infections and hot spots. You and your pup can "woof" goodbye to itchy, irritated skin whether it's caused by fungi, ringworm, allergies, or rashes.
Promising review: “My dog occasionally gets hot spots on her tummy or other irritants, such as a possible toe yeast infection. I spray this on her spots. She knows that it will help and has gotten to the point that I ask her if she's ready for Curaseb and she typically rolls onto her back for me to check her tummy and spray any needed spots." —Lauren Schneider
Get it from Amazon for $17.99.
18. An adjustable doggie bandana — this'll make them look like the leader of the cutest bark squad around. These handmade bandanas are machine washable! Bandanas can help protect your pup from sunburn or even provide warmth, so your pet can live their best lives alongside you.
19. A fun ball launcher so you never have to worry about your arm growing tired and achy when all your pup wants to do is play fetch. For hours. And hours.
Promising review: "I bought this because my small dogs love to chase balls. Unfortunately, I'm a bad thrower and the ball only goes 15–20 feet, and not always in the direction I want it to go. Now I can shoot balls further into distance and in the direction I intend. When my dogs hear the click from me pulling back the launch mechanism, they immediately go on alert." —Ursula Keene
Get it from Amazon for $15.95.
20. A doggie raincoat to protect your fur child from the occasional sun shower. Your heart will grow three sizes seeing your pup in this protective getup.
Promising review: "Love these raincoats. Ordered three altogether. They are tough, cute, and keep my dogs dry. I have purchased other flimsy raincoats that did not keep my dogs dry. I am extremely pleased with these. The little hoods are cute too. The purpose of the raincoats are so that I only have to dry off their feet when they return from their walk. These sturdy little coats are great. My furry kids seem to like them, and they stay in place without slipping and sliding. Fantastic price for great product. Awesome! :-)" —Barbara N.
Get it from Amazon for $12.48+ (available in sizes XS–XXL).
21. A Lamb Chop plush toy that'll make you feel nostalgic for the early '90s and make your pup feel like they've got a new best friend. Other than you, of course!

This pack also comes with four Etta Says! dog treats at a buy two, get two free discount, a training guide for front and hind feet, and free email training support.
Promising review: "My pittie struggled with getting his nails clipped after a bad grooming experience. With one use he’s already got it down and it’s made the process 100% easier. Fast shipping too." —Etsy Customer
Get it from ScratchPad for Dogs on Etsy for $56.06 (available in three grit levels).
23. A warm fleece pullover because your lil' hiking buddy deserves protection from the elements, too. Its stretchy lower panel sheds water, snow, and dirt, meanwhile its trim is reflective for visibility in low-light conditions.

Get it from Ruffwear or Amazon for $59.95+ (available in six sizes and four colors).
24. A doggy sprinkler pad if you've got yourself a toddler in a pooch's body. Just connect it to your garden hose and let the fun begin!
Promising review: "We're already hitting triple digits in Arizona, and I wish I'd found this wonderful splash pad years ago. Both of our dogs lost their minds with happiness when I set this up. They had a fantastic playtime with both the fountain effect and just tromping around inside the pool. Great way for them to cool off and get some exercise when it's just too hot for their normal trail runs. Reasonably priced with easy setup right out of the box, and it held up very well against their rough play. Seems very durable and looking forward to an entire summer of cool playtime in the desert heat! Highly recommend if your dogs love water, and this would be fun for small children as well!" —Kayce
Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in five sizes).
25. A pair of matching baseball hats for pawrent and pup — keep the sun from getting in all of your eyes...and also look cute, obviously.
Promising review: "These hats are adorable for taking my dog to the beach! And he actually kept the hat on and liked it, unlike other hats I've tried on him. It definitely blocked the sun for him. And he got SO many compliments!" —Anne Beckerle
Get it from Amazon for $18.99 (available in four sizes and three colors).
26. An easy-to-install booster seat so your furry friend can sit beside you without worrying about them getting anxious because they can't see you or climbing all over you while you're driving. It even includes an adjustable seatbelt! Your co-pilot might even help with directions.
Promising review: "I strapped this to the passenger's seat (with ease) along with a door protector and it worked AMAZINGLY well!!! I was able to keep an eye on my anxious dog who usually pants the entire time he is in the car and wanders around crying. As he sat there next to me, he was enjoying every minute of the ride. He was not anxious for a second. It was a life-changer for us both! Wish I had this product years ago! Worth every penny!!!" —Colleen White
Get it from Amazon for $55+ (available in two styles and five colors).
