1. A paw washer so your pup won't track mud into the house, keeping your floors clean. Just add water to this cylinder, and then, pop your fur baby's paws in and out. The soft bristles will remove dirt and debris — leaving no tracks in sight.
Promising review: "Obsessed with this cleaning tool. I wish I would have bought earlier. Super easy to use and is fantastic at getting grime, dirt, and grossness off my pups paws. My dog is cleaner, my floors are cleaner. It’s a win win." —Kelsey C
Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in three sizes, nine colors, and with or without a lid).
2. A ChomChom pet hair roller with a reusable brush to grab hair. You no longer have to deal with sticky lint rollers to get the job done. Swipe this over your couch, bed, or anywhere your pet loves to ~sprinkle~ fur, and this roller will get rid of it.
Promising review: "I’m obsessed with this, it works so well!! So much more reliable than any vacuum. I use it for my couch. I highly recommend this for anyone that has a pet hair issue or just loves having spotless furniture." —Rick Catlin
Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in two colors).
3. A giggle ball because a bored dog is no laughing matter. This will make silly sounds that'll keep your four-legged friend rolling around and playing for a long time. And it has over 59,000 5-star ratings!
BTW, we have a roundup of ingenious pet products that your fur baby might want to get their paws on.
Promising review: "My dog is OBSESSED with this ball! It is her absolute favorite toy. She will play with it any chance she gets, which is why we have to hide it when it's not playtime. She gets so excited, and she barks at it while chasing it and batting it about with her nose. It's great exercise for her, and I love that it doesn't need batteries and that it's big enough that she can't get it in her mouth (she's about 15 pounds) but not too big for her to shove about. The only downside is we have to limit the time she plays with it, because I swear she would play with this ball until she passes out, if we let her!" —Tembi
Get it from Amazon for $14.97 (available in three styles and a two-pack).
4. A hanging chew toy for your rabbit, guinea pig, ferret, or hamster that has a variety of textures and shapes for your little critter to gnaw on and shred apart.
Promising review: "This is the second one of these I’ve bought in the last two months, however, the remains of the first are still scattered around. My rabbit is an absolute chewer and this is her favorite thing. We travel a lot with her and we bring it with and she is always so obsessed with it. One-hundred percent will be buying a third when she destroys the second one." —Emily
Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (also available in a two-pack).
5. An odor-eliminating spray to get rid of ~those accidents~ that you need to zap away ASAP. It releases enzymes that breakdown urine (or any organic matter like vomit) on contact. Your carpet will look and smell like there isn't a pet in sight.
Rocco & Roxie is a family-owned small business named after the Magleby family's pets Rocco, a Labradoodle, and Roxie, a former shelter tabby cat. They make a variety of pet supplies, including cleaners, treats, grooming tools, accessories, and toys.
Promising review: "All I can say is W O W!!!!!!! I am a total pessimist when I see a product with tons of great reviews — I immediately question if it’s true. I was desperate though for some sort of solution, having tried everything I could find including every DIY hack and nothing was working. I am literally obsessed with this product. I don’t know what the proprietary contents are but I do know that they work really good. I’m not one to spend time writing reviews, especially if the product is just OK, but this one far exceeded my expectations." —TW
Get it from Amazon for $19.31+ (available in two sizes and two scents).

6. A top-entry litter box with a grooved lid design to remove litter from your cat's paws as they climb out. It can also be a great option if you have a curious dog who likes to dig in your cat's litter box because it will keep them out. This contraption will keep your floors cleaner than a typical cat litter box — leaving less evidence that you even have a pet.
Reviewers say it works for both small and bigger cats alike! One reviewer's tip: Make sure the side without the grooved lid is facing a wall so that cats can't jump out that way (the grooved side is what prevents litter tracking).
Promising review: "I’m OBSESSED with this litter box! The lid helps to prevent litter tracking. The litter box itself is super cute and easy to clean! I use the Arm & Hammer multi-cat slide litter and never have an issue with it sticking! Only complaint is that sometimes the lid doesn’t snap on correctly but it’s easy to fix." —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in two styles and five colors).
7. A rubber-bristled broom because it will pick up all the pet hair your vacuum leaves behind. You'll be shocked just how much is still embedded in your floors even after a deep clean. This broom is also extendable so you don't have to bend or stretch. Honestly, you'll probably collect such a huge mound of hair that your pet will think you adopted another fur baby.
Promising review: "I'm obsessed with this tool. Wish I found it sooner! All of my rugs are literally a different color after using this tool. I actually have fun using it. I have a Newfie with super long hair who is constantly shedding. Despite vacuuming on a regular basis, apparently all of this fur was embedded in my rugs. It’s such a simple rubber tool, and totally worth it. Highly recommend!" —Dana
Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three styles and a two-pack).

8. A professional pet grooming brush for cats and dogs to help drastically reduce shedding. This comb will detangle and remove excess hair so it won't get all over your couch.
Promising reviews: "Absolutely obsessed with this brush! Super gentle and my cat didn’t hate it. It took out sooo much hair. This is definitely a must-buy if you have a super shedding cat!" —Alykat
"I can't speak highly enough of this brush! It takes out all the hidden knots! OBSESSED!" —Amazon Customer
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available for short/medium and long hair and in eight colors).
9. An interactive roller cat toy that reviewers say is perfect to keep both kittens and cats entertained. Not only is it mentally stimulating, but it'll also provide a physical activity so your kitty can get in some much needed exercise during the day.
Promising review: "I don't know why we never tried one of these sooner!! Our cat has never been one for toys, but she has become obsessed with this thing! She even sleeps next to it in the middle of the living room. It's very cute to watch her play with it." —kaylameeko
Get it from Amazon for $9.38+ (available in 16 colors/designs).
10. A crate training toy if your fur baby deals with separation anxiety while you're away and they're in their crate. It attaches to the crate's walls and you can just smear is with peanut butter, so your pup will be busy licking and chewing a yummy treat instead of being stressed out.
Promising review: "My 11-week-old doodle pup is OBSESSED with this. I saw it a few times before buying but didn't get it right away because it’s so expensive. But I eventually decided to just go ahead and try it anyway because I want her to love her crate. I’m glad I did it. Not just for crate training but it's also helpful for getting a solid chunk of time where she is distracted and I don’t have to entertain her, lol." —AC
Get it from Amazon for $33.89+ (available in three colors).
11. A wooden slow feeder toy because it'll make mealtime more entertaining and enriching. It's designed to encourage the mental stimulation that dog's get from hunting or working for their food. So, your furry friend won't feel bored or inhale their food too quickly. They'll have to flip the attached bottles over to slowly dispense treats.
Promising review: "My dog is obsessed with this toy! I'm a dog trainer and I know how important it is to keep your dogs brain stimulated. It took a few sessions for her to figure out using her paw was the best bet, but now I have to hide it when we're done or she just lays by it and waits hahaha Awesome choice during the summer when it's too hot to do things outside with your pup, or use it for meal time!" —Rebecca Case
Get it from Amazon for $42.99+ (available in three styles).
12. A retractable hanging tug rope so your pup can play tug-of-war all by themselves. It'll not only keep them occupied, but it'll wear them out, too! And don't worry, it's designed to keep any sharp parts away from their mouth so they can safely play for hours.
Promising reviews: "My dogs are obsessed with this!" —Patricia Harris
"My younger dog is obsessed with this thing! He’s just shy of 80 pounds and he's all muscle. He loves to play tug. I can’t play tug with him for long because it feels like he’ll dislocate my shoulder. Got this, set it up in 5–10 minutes, and he went to town. First thing every morning he goes right to it. Same thing when I get home from work. Had it since September and it’s still going strong. Survived snow storms and thunderstorms no problem. I recommend this thing to everyone." —Meg
Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in four sizes/styles).

Promising review: "Cat is obsessed! Bought this for my cat who was acting a bit bored and lethargic. She absolutely loves it! She spends a good amount of time 'hunting' and getting the treats out, and seems to really enjoy the puzzle aspect. Definitely recommend!" —Anna
Get it from Amazon for $15.94.
14. A ball launcher to give your arms a rest when your hyper dog wants to play fetch but you're too exhausted. This will shoot balls across the room or your backyard with just the press of a button.
Promising review: "My dog is obsessed. I got this as a dual Christmas gift for my husband and dog and they both love it! And I love it too! It is super easy to pull back and I love that you don’t have to touch the slimy ball with your hands, it just pops right into the end. We play with this everyday to help our pup get some extra exercise!" —Steph D
Get it from Amazon for $14.90+ (available in two sizes).
15. A self-grooming cat toy so your kitty can enjoy a nice grooming sesh as they walk by, if you're not around to scratch their neck and head for them. Plus, it removes loose fur so there will be less around your home.
16. A portable water dispenser because it makes it easier to carry water for your fur baby. The water dispenses in a bowl, and any unused water goes right back in with the press of a button. This is perfect for walks, hikes, picnics, and days at the park.
Promising review: "Obsessed. This product is PERFECT! Makes life so easy if you are traveling with a pet. You don’t have to worry about wasting water or spilling. Please do yourself a favor and buy it! Best product ever. " —Jules

Get it from Amazon for $12.98+ (available in six styles).
19. A rip-and-reveal plushie so your dog will be able to channel some of their destructive energy into a toy instead of destroying your furniture. They'll have to tear it apart to reveal another squeaky toy inside — it's two toys in one!
Promising review: "My dog is literally obsessed with this toy. I first got it for him when he was just a puppy and now he’s five. I’ve had to buy so many because my mom’s dogs keep destroying them LOL. My dog literally does tricks for the toy and it’s his absolute favorite thing ever." —Jennifer Chen
Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available for small and large dogs and in different styles).
20. A puzzle feeder because it will make meal time wayyy more fun and entertaining. Your dog will have to learn how to spin and slide various parts to get to their food or treats.
Promising review: "This thing is amazing. Bought for my Shih Tzu puppy and I thought it would be too complicated for him at only a few months old. But he LOVES it. Quickly caught on and now actually prefers to pursue dinner in this thing than out of the bowl. We put it in his pen to help keep him entertained while we’re busy and he’s obsessed. Recommend!!" —Save all the Books in a Fire
Get it from Amazon for $9.29+ (available in two versions).
21. A hunting box to keep your cat busy as they chase, scratch, and eventually tire themselves out and nap on this. There are slots that allow your kitty to see the included jingle balls to encourage them to swipe, paw, and to attempt to retrieve them.
22. A teaser pole that’s perfect for training and outdoor play. Reviewers say it's also a great indoor activity when your dog is bored but the weather isn't ideal.
Promising review: "My dog is obsessed with this toy! It has everything that entices her to get it. The rattle gets her attention enough to attack it and she loves it! It's also super durable — she is about 60 pounds and isn't gentle with her toys. This isn't even showing any signs of wear and tear yet and we play with it inside and outside at least twice a day. She could play with it for hours and not get bored." —Ashley
Get it from Amazon for $16.79.
23. A handheld dog shower attachment to make it wayyy easier to give your dog a shower. Its unique shape is designed for full coverage that'll penetrate thick fur to make rinsing more effective and quicker. Basically, you can avoid a whole fiasco while trying to get your pup clean. Plus, it can also connect to your hose so it can be used outdoors, too!
Promising review: "I have used this exactly one time so far but I'm already obsessed. I have a 115-pound German Shepherd who's too big for the tub so he gets bathed outside. He's a double-coated breed so it's always taken a long time to get him fully wet with the hose, the water just rolls right off of him and doesn't touch the under layers unless rubbed in really well. This Waterpik was an instant game-changer. All I had to do was run it down his body and it soaked all the way down to the skin instantly. He's a big boy who hates water so baths always take a long time but this definitely sped things up! Rinsing him off has never been so quickly achieved. I also loved that it has a smaller stream option for cleaning around his face and ears." —Coleen
Get it from Amazon for $44.20.
24. An activity wall because your bird will play with it for hours! It'll also last quite a while since there are so many textures and activities — it's like many different toys in one.
I have a black-capped conure who usually gets bored with toys within a day and I'm constantly buying new toys. I purchased this out of pure desperation. I expected it to last a few days top. But I was shocked that my bird is obsessed with it and it lasted months! My bird has never been entertained so much or for so long by any other toy. I will definitely keep replacing it because it's just the best!
Promising review: "Keeps my cockatiel entertained for hours. I have a 4-year-old, very playful and curious cockatiel that will chew everything and anything from furniture to papers to my hair! She absolutely loves this toy and it keeps her occupied for hours. Some toys only last a day or two with her but I’ve had this for a few months and it’s still going strong." —Jon P Whible
Get it from Amazon for $15.79+ (available in two styles).
25. A pint of maple bacon ice cream if you're tired of your dog begging for a lick of your ice cream. This is made with dog-safe ingredients and is lactose-, and grain-free so you can feel good about giving your pet a treat. All you have to do is add water, freeze, then serve.
26. A burrow dog bed because your dog will be able to feel safe and cozy during colder seasons or during a scary thunderstorm. It's designed with a blanket-like hood so they can nestle and snuggle under the covers. I mean, am I the only one that wishes they made one for humans?!
Promising review: "My dogs are obsessed. I bought one to try it out and both of my dogs wanted to sleep on it. I ended up buying a second, and now everyone is happy." —Ryan Laymon
Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available with memory, orthopedic, or cooling foam, three sizes, and five colors).

Promising reviews: "I should have had this years ago. It is a flashlight, so it does not clean. I did not even know that the male dog had done a sprinkle in the living room. This flashlight lit it right up! You will be able to see the pet stains immediately. Absolute must-have! My daughter got one after I told her about it. Same thing! Surprise areas that the dogs had stained." —Boomer
"Obsessed with this flashlight. It really works! Cat pee is my worst nightmare and with this flashlight, I was able to find the source of the smell and made my home great again." —NORMA ISABEL VELASQUEZ
