These will make sure your precious baby is always prepared with food, water, protected paws, and so much more.

I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping writer based in Cincinnati, OH where you can find me curating lists on ~a little bit of everything~ (and adding a few things to my own cart in the process).

Promising review: "We use this pet carrier to give our little Ziggy a chance to see the world. He is loving it." —Elyse

Price: $21.99+ (originally $26.99+; available in three sizes and five colors)

Promising review: "I was looking for something easier to bring on walks and park trips. Folding bowls always end up knocked over in park excitement, plus you still need water in a separate container. This little thing is perfect: simply squeeze for water, and when done the water drains into the bottle. It works just fine for my almost 70 pound German Shepherd. Great little product!" —Stephanie

Promising review: "I have a service dog who rides with me in the cab of my truck. During the summer, it gets very hot here, and I would have to offer her water frequently. With this bowl, it sits on the floorboard, and I fill it up, and it doesn’t spill at all! Magic! will definitely be telling other SD handlers about this bowl!" —Hannah

Promising reviews: "This bag has plenty of room for everything you need to take with, whether it is a day at the park or get out of town thing. Lots of compartments and made well." —Susan

"I take my dog with me as much as I can when I travel and this was perfect to keep his supplies organized. I took both my dog and cat home for the holidays and this bag had more than enough space to fit all of their food, toys, blankets, and Christmas PJs with plenty of room to spare." —Rebecca

Price: $34.99 (originally $49.99; available in five colors)

Promising review: "Super high quality! Love the way it fits, and easy to adjust. Honestly, the best harness I have bought. The handle on the back is perfect for easy, quick grip, and the leash is perfect as well. Great length. Love the reflective material as well. Super happy with this." —Bekka

Price: $29.99 (available in sizes XS–XL and five colors)

Promising review: "So, I have had numerous car seat covers over the years, some I bought for real cheap and others I've spent some good money on and I've honestly never had one this nice. I am in LOVE with it and super impressed with the quality. I have a service dog who of course travels with me every single day so a good seat cover is a must. I haven't washed it yet, but I'm anxious to see how it holds up in the washing machine. It doesn't slide around in my back seat, it has elastic that goes under the seats to secure it in place and I like the pockets because I can put my dogs leash in there while we drive then leash him up when we get to our destination. I definitely recommend this!!" —SDHandler

Price: $36.99+ (available in two sizes and three colors)

Promising review: "This MudBuster is phenomenal! Highly recommend to all my dog lovers. Mud season is upon us here in WI, and it is in full force with my 9-month-old yellow Lab! He loves to be outside no matter the weather. We bought the medium and it is just the right size for our pup. He doesn't seem to mind it either, we just have him give us a shake and praise him the whole time we're cleaning his paws with the MudBuster. Warm water and the tiniest amount of Dawn dish soap is all we use." —mudseason

Price: $7.94+ (originally $16.99+; available in three sizes and three colors)

Promising review: "The fit is perfect. The hood hits right where it needs to to cover his head, but not his eyes. It's a soft, lightweight material. It allows my dog to pee when it's raining out, so it makes us all happy. The moment I pulled this out of the package, he excitedly walked right into it and right outside, after just moments before refusing to exit the house because it was raining." —Kate

Price: $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–XXXL and two colors/patterns)

Promising review: "My 8-pound Chihuahua is usually nervous about everything, but she was relaxed and ready to go in this basket. The interior lining is super soft (removable for washing), and there are two short leashes that keep her secure even when she puts her paws up on the edge to see better. The bag attached easily to my e-bike and is quick to remove and re-attach. Nice zippered pocket on the side for the collapsible water dish and treats. Piper loves b-i-k-e r-i-d-e-s now (we have to spell it or she gets excited). ;-)" —Heather

Promising review: "Our new rescue dog, a Great Pyrenees, has her first toy and 'Lammy' goes everywhere with her. So far, this stuffed toy has held up well to some serious rough play and chewing without coming apart. The squeaker inside is big enough for Molly to squeeze, which gets the shaking revved up even more. Molly will get another Lammy if this one ever gets torn up, but so far has been a sturdy toy that she loves to carry around when she's playing, and sleeps with when she's worn out." —Jim

Price: $3.99+ (available in three sizes)

Promising review: "The bag dispenser is so easy to open and close to replace the rolls of poop bags. And though carrying warm poop will never be pleasant, the lightly scented bags make carrying it home a little less horrible." —Jonica

Price: $4.99 (available in scented and unscented bags)

Promising review: "We’ve been using these poop bags for years and we will never use anything else! A friend recommended them to us, and since then, I’ve recommended them to several people. We always keep a roll clipped to our dog's leash. They are the perfect size to pick up poop and tie up. They are not too thick or too thin. They hold in the smell, too, which is great! I love that they are made of recycled materials too! Poop bags are the best!" —Sarah

Price: $8.99+ (available in a 120- or 960-count and two scents)

Each collar has three modes (on, strobe, and blink), and works in any weather condition!

Promising review: "I bought four of these and they are awesome. I got pink, blue, and purple. I think the pink one lights up the most, but they’re all great! We have a big yard and like to take our dachshunds on nightly walks around the property before bed. Now with the collars, they are super easy to see and keep track of. It looks like a tiny little rave going on every night. We love it." —Alexandra

Price: $18.99+ (originally $24.99+, available in sizes XS–L and nine colors)

Promising review: "As a professional trainer, I recommend this bag to all of my clients. The ease of treats retrieval is most important since timing the reward is key in training. The lining stays put and doesn't complicate trying to get a treat. I also like the easy clip to the pants and the option to quickly pull the bag closed when necessary. I do prefer the smaller bag but I ordered this two cup size since they were on sale. Highly recommend to all dog owners needing to train their lovely companions!" —Paula

Price: $6.40+ (originally $9.99; available in two sizes and three colors that ship randomly)

Promising review: "I have three toy part schnauzers and a cattle-doodle. When I say 'Mini Zukes,' my dogs come RUNNING. They will do A-N-Y-T-H-I-N-G for this treat. I keep several tins of them around the house. If you keep them in a sealed container, they stay soft. If they are left to air out, they will get harder, but it makes absolutely no difference to my dogs. At my house, it's all Mini Zukes." —Larry

Price: $4.49+ (available in four sizes, multi-packs, and six flavors)

BTW, this mat is machine washable and even comes with its own carrying pouch!

Promising review: "Needed a place to track my service dog to use when we are out. This gives her a clean spot to lay when we are in public. Under some table and chairs can be quite gross." —Christina

Promising review: "Marley will be 14 this summer and he has a torn ACL. Arthritis has set in and while he can get around pretty well, when he’s tired he drags his knuckles — when he goes across pavement or a roadway he skins his knuckles. These booties are great. They protect his feet and keep him from slipping on wet grass and wet floors. A life saver." —William

Price: $28.99+ for a four-count (available in sizes S–XXL and four colors)

Promising reviews: "I purchased Musher’s Secret through Chewy to try to provide some protection from hot surfaces when my dog refused to walk in the two pair of booties I purchased for him. He definitely seems more comfortable on warm surfaces in the hot weather, but there were several other pluses with the product. It does a great job in healing cracked and dry paws. I was also shocked to see that the other reviews speaking to the lack of paw prints on the floor after applying were absolutely accurate. My dog must find it soothing to have it applied, as he readily lies on his back while I massage the Musher’s Secret into each paw pad. What a great product!!" —Barbara 

"I have used this for years on my two boxers. When we lived in the city, I struggled to put on boots to protect them from all the salt that would be on the sidewalk and burn their paws. This worked great. Then we would take them to Vermont and the cold and ice would dry out their pads to the point that they would crack!! Again, this product stopped this from happening. This is the same product that the dog sled teams use up north." —Lawrence

Price: $12.99+ (originally $16; available in three sizes)

Promising review: "I purchased this and used it EVERY SINGLE DAY until my 17-year-old mini dachshund passed away and I have nothing but good things to say. Highly recommend! My dog was 15 pounds and we never had any issues. I did purchase a pad for the inside, and sometimes place towels under her to boost her up so it was easier to see out. This folded up easily when we took it for day trips. Very easy to use and good quality. Zero complaints, we used it every day for 16 months (about 1+ mile per day) and no issues!" —Janel

Price: $99.995+ (originally $143.99; available in two colors)

Promising review: "I bought the smallest size in blue with neon green text so it shows up nicely on my little dog. The clasp is very sturdy and the 3/8” size is perfect. This collar has definitely given me some peace of mind. I know when I’ve tried to catch a loose dog to return to its home, it can be near impossible to check the small print on their tag (and unfortunately, most do not even have a tag). My son bought the large size in orange for his dog, and he also has only good things to say about the collar. I highly recommend it!" —Cookie

Price: $18.95 (available in sizes XS–L and 11 colors)

Promising review: "My dog's nose should be in the hall of fame (or shame, depending on your POV). Every month was an escalating challenge after one yummy temptation after the other failed to disguise her med. She is a master at olfactory detection, resulting in the chew and spit. Rinse and repeat. But now that I have these Milk Bone pouches in my arsenal, it seems that I can successfully get the pill in the pooch, without trauma to either of us! The advice printed on the bag was super helpful....avoid letting the pill touch the exposed outside surface of the pouch. I used TWEEZERS to pick up the pill and insert it in the pocket. Squished it shut, and voila! My darling girl happily chewed up and swallowed thus enticing new treat, none the wiser that she had been hoodwinked into taking her meds. I did a virtual cartwheel to celebrate my success, because I'm 71 and have a keen desire to avoid fractures. I might try a high kick next time. We'll see." —Kay

Key calming ingredients include suntheanine, L-theanine, and ashwagandha, chamomile, valerian root, and more.

Promising review: "We have a very reactive dog who gets stressed over pretty much everything... especially in the car. We decided to try these, based on the positive reviews. They have been great! They seem to take effect quickly, and she just chills right out. Tried them with my big Pitbull who is terrified of thunderstorms, and they helped him too! I definitely recommend, and will buy again!" —Michele

Price: $4.97+ (available in five quantities and two flavors)

Promising review: "These potty pads work great!!! They are a good size and absorb great!! Totally recommend these!! I will buy these again!" —carmen

Price: $11.79+ (available in five quantities)

Promising review: "I have a pit bull/American Eskimo mix, and he was having some issues with dry skin and red blotchy rashes for the longest time. We couldn't figure out what was causing it, but we were desperate to find a solution. We were given this recommendation for dog shampoo and tried it once, and have never used anything else since. It's very creamy and lathers nicely, he doesn't try to lick it off like he did the other brands, and he actually gets excited for bath time now. He has had no more rashes, he smells great, and his fur feels smoother than ever! I absolutely love this product and bought the puppy one for my youngest fur baby, who is just about to turn a year old. She is a Pomeranian/pug, and it does wonders for her thick, long fur. 100% recommended!!" —Krissy

Price: $18.99+ (originally $19.99+, available in two sizes)

Promising review: "This just arrived in the mail and oh my goodness we are in LOVE! My pup is a mutt, mostly German shepherd, Australian shepherd, and husky, so you can imagine the hair on this one! I started brushing and I was absolutely AMAZED at the amount that came off, and how easy it was! Seriously, so easy, and he loved it SO much. It must have felt so good! He has an undercoat, and his fur is super shiny and soft. I was worried that it might pull and tug his hair, or not get all the way to the undercoat, and I was wrong! This doesn't pull or scratch, but it gets the job done! I absolutely recommend it to anyone, even if you don't think your dog is a shedder! Much easier than all of the other brushes I've used as well. I was not happy about the price tag, but the very first use paid for itself!" —Lauren

Price: $31.87+ (originally $37.49+, available in three sizes and three colors)

Promising review: "We were searching for a car seat for our frenchie (25 pounds for size reference) that could be used in both rows of our car. Most of the ones we found online were only front seat compatible and did not allow for the seatbelt to be fed through the bottom. This one does everything we wished for! It’s as comfortable as a dog bed but makes us dog parents feel more comfortable that she is safe and secure. She got carsick once and threw up in the car seat, but it was sooooo easy to clean as everything is removable and washable. Would definitely recommend this product!" —Julia

Price: $53.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors)

Promising review: "These blankets are so soft and cute! I've gotten a green one and grey one for her. My puppy loves them. She had one accident on one of these blankets, and I was really impressed by how well it kept the mess off the carpet below. Now that she's potty trained, she still loves to nap on these blankets. The border has worn a bit, but that's entirely due to my teething puppy loving these blankets too much. Great product (but I don't think I've gotten a bad product from this brand yet)." —Mic

Price: $18.69+ (originally $21.84+; available in four sizes and seven colors)
