Promising review: "I travel with a Yorkie, and I've bought her several car seats over the years. The first couple of versions had soft sides made of foam, and she wore those out in no time. This one is a rigid bucket-like structure, lined with soft furry fabric. She absolutely loves to sit in it, and I think she feels safe and comfortable. It's super easy to install on the lid of a console cabinet, and it holds firm, even with sudden stops. It has a little leash you can attach to their collar, but I don't, because I wouldn't want her tethered awkwardly in the event of an accident or sudden stop. The best part is that the bottom cushion is removable and washable, so I can keep it clean. That was not the case with the earlier versions I bought." —Jennifer S Blandford

Price: $16.99 (originally $33.99; on sale in two colors in the medium size)

Promising review: "We have four large cats ranging from 20 pounds to 8 pounds, and they all love this cat tree! It has plenty of space for them all to nap without touching, and large enough platforms for napping if they want to touch. Our girl cat is the queen of the group, or at least she thinks so, and she enjoys sitting or napping on the tallest shelf like the queen she is! The little white mice that hang from the platforms are a huge hit; poor things have been batted and chewed and basically gutted every day since we put them up. The different size napping platforms are a big hit, and the little privacy cubbies are perfect for hiding from attacking foes! Overall, our cats think this is the best thing they have ever played with. It was super easy to put together and has held up to all the commotion four cats can cause. They are indoor cats, and it looks good with the green desert theme we have for their indoor playground. Overall, couldn’t love it more!!!! 10 out of 10 stars." —joanna crudo

Price: $79.99+ (originally $146.99+ (this is a Prime-exclusive deal); available in four colors)

Promising review: "I have to leave a review because this gate is pretty impressive. Easy to install. Has a lock. This was the best investment I’ve made for my deck. Keeps my dog contained, on my deck, of course, under my supervision. I’ve had it a little over a year, and it’s as good as the day I got it. (Stood up to a New England winter.)" —Allison

Promising review: "This is the cutest dog toy and my dog instantly loved the crinkly stems. I felt like I was getting away with something at the price because it is such high quality. Gorgeous colors. If you have a big dog who could swallow toys, I don't recommend this, as the little rabbits are small and squeak, but they're perfect if your dog doesn't swallow things. Such a great find. Would buy this all over again." —Linda Draayers

Promising review: "This contraption was created by a WIZARD. I have a German Shepherd mix that leaves a thick layer of fur on EVERYTHING. I will do a full groom and deep de-shedding, and she will be blowing coat the next day. (GSD owners will understand lol) I came to terms with half of my bed having a peelable layer of fur on it at all times, and both of her dog beds, that I could probably have shoveled the fur off of. I tried for YEARS to find something to fix this. THIS. THING. IS. AMAZING. How did I go almost 6 years with this pup and not have this? I am SHOOK. The issue with the handle most complain about isn't that serious... You just move your hand up the handle a little bit. I almost wept with joy when this thing eradicated 95% of the fur that was upsetting me for YEARS now." —Bliss Ann

Price: $16.85 (originally $23.85; available in four colors)

This model features a little brush at the tip that flips up to help gather small pieces, an extendable crevice tool, and a hand-washable dust bowl, filter, and pre-filter. 

Promising review: "Powerful for such a small vacuum cleaner. I originally bought it, because I was looking for a small vacuum that had a narrow nose small enough to get between my bed and bedside table. This vac is perfect for the job. It's powerful enough to pick up cat hair and litter, so I can clean up after my 2 cats. The charge lasts 20 minutes. Fast charging, lightweight, and easy to use. The canister is easy to clean. My only complaint is the noise. It's loud and the noise scares my cats. But the advantages outweigh the noise factor. After all, I only use it for quick clean-ups." —Kathy

Promising review: "I waited over a month to write a review — this air purifier is amazing!! It’s one of those products that you don’t understand how much of a difference it makes until you get one. I have two cats,and my house is all carpet, so the house can smell stagnant sometimes, especially if the AC is off. One of my cats also has asthma, so I got this air purifier mostly for her, but it’s made such a HUGE difference in the way my home smells. Since having it, my house has consistently smelled fresh, clean, and odorless. Even after forgetting to clean the litter boxes, my house has not smelled like cat litter since I’ve had it. It’s very easy to set up. I bought a little plant stand to put it on so it wouldn’t be on the carpet. It’s very quiet, and the app is easy to use. It tells you the life of your filter, which is super helpful, and these filters last for a long time! You can set it up to be on a schedule, so you can set it up once and just forget about it. I recommend this air purifier to everyone. I’m NEVER worried about my house smelling anything but clean now. I would repurchase this a thousand times over." —hailee

Promising review: "This elevated dog bed is lightweight and easy to assemble. The breathable mesh really helps keep my dog cool, especially in warmer weather. It feels sturdy and holds weight well, and the removable cover makes cleaning convenient. My dog took a little time to get used to it, but now prefers it over regular beds. Overall, a good purchase for comfort and airflow." —Eric Chen

Price: $47.11+ (originally $59.99+ (this is a Prime-exclusive deal); available in five colors and sizes)

Promising review: "This is so cute and the cats love it! It fits perfectly on top of my dryer, where the kits like to lay. Two can easily snuggle together on it. Very soft. Used a crib sheet to cover the outer fleece, in an attempt to keep it nicer and cleaner longer. Easy to change out the crib sheet as needed. Also put inner stuffing in garbage bags before stuffing into fleece cover, hoping this will keep the stuffing cleaner longer. The bed itself is lightweight. During cold winter nights, the kitty babies will DEF be warm!" —Danielle

Price: $41.58+ (originally $55.99; available in three sizes and nine colors) — and see all the Bedsure deals here

Promising review: "This is a fantastic machine!! It was so easy to clean. Unbelievably easy. Everything comes apart. Everything. I was able to get the dirty water tank clean, the rollers, the front suction thingy. My old machine was trash, I couldn't clean anything without using skewer sticks and forget trying to clean the rollers! I am so glad I read all the reviews and asked Alexa for comparisons. Also, I was able to do one room with one tank of water! Usually, I had to refill like four times. The machine is definitely smaller than the one I had before (not same brand). I was skeptical of the water tank, but it held more than I thought!" —Stephanie Quezada

Promising review: "These puppy pads are basically FEMA for my floors. Six layers of 'NOT TODAY, SATAN.' 😂 My dog can unleash absolute chaos, and somehow my floor survives untouched. Big, absorbent, leak-proof, and apparently engineered by people who have personally witnessed the horrors of puppyhood." —Tiffany R. Roberts

Promising review: "When my 23-year-old cat became incontinent, I came here searching for disposable puppy pads to put over the part of the couch where she loves to lie beside me. But these reusable ones appeared in my search, and they turned out to be a MUCH better solution! Not only do they save me tons of money in the long run (especially since I expect Lily to live at least two more years), but I also don't have to feel guilty for dumping heaps of plastic into the landfills. And they really look nice! Lily seems to find them comfortable, too, and snoozes on them quite happily. I've bought two sets in different patterns so that I can put three into the washing machine at the same time, so as not to set it off-balance during the spin cycle. They wash up very nicely without damage, and I dry them by hanging them over the porch railing." —Kim Beall

Price: $12.99 for a pack of two (originally $16.99; available in 10 sizes and five colors)

Promising review: "My cats loooove these! I have put them in front of places they like to scratch/destroy, like a specific spot on my couch. I need to get more because there are a few places they claw at that I wish they wouldn’t. You can’t have enough scratching posts, especially for bored indoor cats." —kate

Price: $22.77 (originally $31.19; available in two sizes)

My cats ADORE this toy and beg me to pull it out so they can play with it almost every morning. They love batting at the butterfly — its erratic movements drive them wild — but they also love laying on their side to catch the feather that zooms left, right, and all around. And sometimes when they're tired of playing, they literally just lay on it (as shown above)...they love it so much. Side note: I influenced my brother's partner to buy this toy for her cat, and even his senior pug ended up liking it. 😂

The fact that most of the feather toy is hidden underneath the patterned cover (so they can't see what's controlling it) is a genius design, and I'll also mention that my cats haven't been able to destroy this toy yet either — though the brand does sell replacement parts thankfully. The battery lasts a long time, and it charges conveniently via USB-C, which I appreciate!

It's the perfect size for small dogs and cats.

Promising review: "Perfect size for our MalShi! This is a fairly small bed, so it probably wouldn't work well for even medium-sized dogs, but for our little dog, it's perfect. She loves to jump in and curl up, it snuggles around her nicely. I've not tried to wash it yet, but it'll need washing soon! She also loves to drag it around and flip it over—so there's the added bonus of being a big 'toy' —highly recommend!" —LSC613

Promising review: "Very sturdy and my cats love it for naps and people/bird watching. Being able to fold it up at night makes it easy to shut blinds and curtains! Both my cats weigh 10 pounds each and it hasn’t budged once." —Brooke

Promising review: "So far so good. We water our labs outdoors because that's where they like to be. These bowls are sturdy and haven't turned green from the sun bearing down on them all day. They're great so far." —Hope Walker

Price: $13.49 for two (originally $23.99)

Promising review: "My cat loves this bed!! Even when I'm not at my desk, I find her sitting in it. The best part is that when I AM working, all I have to do is sit back a bit and she scoots right by me and goes straight to HER bed!! She gets to be near me all day for easy hugs, and I can focus on work without her dancing across my keyboard all day. Perfect." —Jillbo
