Promising review: "The grooming gloves fit great and make bath time so much easier! My dog absolutely loves the massage-like feeling while I scrub him, and they really help get him clean. Definitely worth the money!" —Jessica Hatten

Promising review: "Purchased this for my mini dachshund puppy and she loves it. The quality is great and is holding up, though my puppy is biting and scratching. The sides of the bed are plush, and the bed itself is soft yet firm enough to be comfortable." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $36.06+ (available in nine sizes and 18 colors).

Promising review: "My mini schnauzer loves being outside, which frequently leaves him either muddy, wet, or just plain smelly. A bath is necessary to sleep in my bed that night. This shampoo smells AMAZING and leaves him feeling soft,  while also making sure his skin doesn’t dry out from the frequent baths (thank you, oatmeal)! We have used this for several years now with no problems." —Mandi D Hartzell

Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in two sizes and two scents).

Promising review: "My pup and I are loving this carrier! I bought this carrier initially because, from the visuals, it seemed that the design was very clever and the materials were durable compared to lots of overpriced competitors. And it did not disappoint! That's exactly what we got: great look, quality construction, and pockets for everything you need. My dog loves it and feels so comfortable. We may need to collect more colorways eventually!" —Tara & Sam

Get it from Cleverpup for $130+ (available in two sizes and five colors; personalization is available for $25).

Promising review: "This carrier works great for our Siberian cats. It's big enough for one to lie comfortably down or to sit up. I love the easy in, easy out aspect too. It has loops for a seat belt to lace through, making it secure in the car. This is our second one. After a trial run using one, we realized this really was the carrier for us." —Suzanne

Promising reviews: "Oh so soft and cuddly. My little dog crawled in and buried her nose in the side. Happy dog = happy mom." —Sandra G. Boyd

"My cats LOVE these beds and some of them won’t usually sleep in a pet bed. I have purchased three so far. Will be getting more lol. These are good quality and they’re warm for colder months!" —Gerald Litz

Promising review: "I don’t leave reviews very often but definitely wanted to for this pillow! Our weenies love to snuggle and cuddle and this pillow has definitely been a fan favorite for them!! Price was great and it’s so soft! The shape is perfect for our weens and they cuddle up and sleep in it for hours at a time!! You won’t regret this purchase at all!! I haven’t gotten to wash it yet but believe it will hold up very well!" —Ray & Carmen

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in four styles).

Promising review: "Makes my dogs smell amazing and the scent lasts a super long time. It’s not a scent that is cheap either. It smells like doggy perfume. Next I’m trying the shampoo. My dogs have showed no irritation after spraying them either. My Rottweiler has super sensitive skin and this has never bothered him. Our pug has a very strong dog smell, consistently this gets rid of it. Works great and would buy again." —Lexx03

Get it from Amazon for $12.94 (available in three scents).

The heartbeat has two modes: 24-hour continuous use or 8-hour use with automatic shut-off. It comes with AAA batteries and a one-time-use heat pack.

Snuggle Puppy is a small business that was created in 1997 by a breeder who wanted to help a litter of puppies transition to their new homes. It ended up being so effective that the line was eventually expanded to help other pets with stress and anxiety.

Promising review: "My puppy really loves his Snuggle Puppy. It really helped him get through his first night home. After four weeks he hasn't gotten tired of it. Treats it like a security blanket and loves to sleep next to it. I find him resting his head on it. Carries it around with him all over the house. It's well constructed and durable. Very plush with generous stuffing and nice fuzzy texture. Holds its shape. Recommended." —Go Man Van Gogh

Get it from Amazon for $39.95+ (available in 13 styles).

Get it from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in nine sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "We have tried other brands and never had any luck. Our dogs hated them, and they didn’t stay cool. They would just stay wet from the water. These ones are so easy to take on and off. Our Iggy is scared of Velcro, so these are perfect for her. And they stay chilly by the time we get back from a hike." —Brooke

Get it from Chewy for $24.99 (available in sizes XXS–XL and two colors).

Get it from Wayfair for $26.99 (originally $47.99).

Promising reviews: "This is my puppy's favorite toy of all time. She picks it up and carries it around even when there are no treats inside. It’s also pretty durable, too." —S.D.

"I love these! I've been looking for something tough enough not to get chewed through, and that has these spikes and gaps so that I can put peanut butter in it. My dogs will focus on these for SO long without destroying them, and it's simultaneously cleaning their teeth. They're also easy to run under the faucet to clean. 10/10 these are a must have when my dogs are stuck inside and feeling antsy." —m h

Promising review: "This is a fantastic lightweight travel carrier. It was very easy to assemble and folds down quickly for storage. The breathable mesh is perfect for keeping my fur baby cool and comfortable during our daily walks. The storage basket underneath is also a huge plus for holding essentials. It feels sturdy, looks great in black, and you really can't beat the price. This gets 5 stars!" —Sdavenport

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in five colors).

Promising review: "So, this is Daisy's fave new toy/treat. It is so hard and durable, but still not rough and tough enough that it will hurt her gums and teeth. But it is solid. I add a few pieces of her dried sweet potato treat, and then drizzle whole 365 sugarless peanut butter on top, and then pour my water. Freeze it all up, and in a couple of hours, she has a treat that keeps her engaged and working at it for at least 15–20 minutes. We love this, and more importantly, my 12-year-old golden girl loves it too! Thanks, Chewy!" —Dana

Get it from Chewy for $6.49+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "Absolutely love this paw balm! It goes on smoothly, absorbs quickly, and doesn’t leave a greasy mess. Within a few days, my dog’s paws were noticeably softer and healthier. I really appreciate that it’s made with natural, lick-safe ingredients, so I don’t have to worry about it afterward. It’s perfect for daily use and keeps paws protected and moisturized. Definitely a product I’ll keep buying!" —Kimberly

Promising review: "My dog LOVES this toy. Whenever she makes it squeak, the tail moves, and it fills all of her sensory needs lol. I have a German Shepherd and this has been perfect for her, even with her constantly biting the toy to make it squeak, the seams are still intact, unlike most toys." —nancy

Promising review: "Nice bathrobe for my pup and she loves it! Great to put this bathrobe on my pup after bathing she stops shaking when she has it on. Better than a towel because it stays on until I get ready to dry her. Robe thickness is similar to a towel and it dries quickly. It’s also super cute." —GEgal

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–L and five designs).

Promising review: "I was looking for a couple of pillows for my dog. He’s small, and one fits perfectly in his crate; the other in his bed. The cover seems to be a kind of microfiber material and the filling is very fluffy. I’ve seen him use them a couple of times, so I’m giving them a two thumbs (or paws) up." —Caroline

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in two sizes and 15 colors).

Promising review: "My small dog loves this. This is the way she eats her food. She prefers to solve the puzzles rather than eat out of a bowl." —Peggy

Promising review: "I bought this for my daughter's dog and her dog loves it. My daughter liked it, too, because it kept her puppy busy for several minutes while the pup was buy licking all of the grooves in the designs on the licking mat. She spread a small amount of peanut butter in and on top of the grooves and her pup enjoyed the licking, taking a while to get every lick of peanut butter that she could. It's easy to clean, has suction cups on it to keep it in place, and is a great item to keep your dog busy. It's a good product." —Verified PurchaserAmazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I have two strong chewers, and so far these have held up. My German Shepherd and my Doodle really love these bunnies. They are so very cute! The ears make the crackling sound and there is a small squeaker in the body. The bunnies are well made and soft, making them perfect for snuggle time. We will keep an eye on things, of course, but as I said, so far these bunnies have hung in there. As a plus, there is no unpleasant odor. I definitely recommend these dog toys." —Swtbea

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in sizes S–L and a variety of styles, including chicken, duck, and bunny).

Promising review: "My dogs absolutely love these. I’ve bought some other chews from Amazon and these are the best. The dogs absolutely will eat these up. They don’t last long, but it is a good distraction. The size is a good size. I have three dogs and my little dog gets one and then my biggest doggo gets two just cause he is so big. They seem to love the taste and can digest them so easily I haven’t had to worry about choking. My dogs absolutely would prefer these to other chews." —Madison Don

Get it from Amazon for $4.82 (for seven rings; available in other flavors and quantities).

Promising review: "My dog is just under 4 pounds. I thought this would be a fun/cute idea for us to stay cozy with the colder months ahead. He loves to sleep curled up in a blanket nest or just under the blankets. He also likes to lay in my lap when at my desk, but he'll usually slide off if I'm not sitting a certain way or keep an arm around him. This now gives me cozy spot to curl up without sliding out of my lap. He really seems to enjoy it! It's also soft and comfy for me too." —Kathleen Burgmann

Promising review: "My puppy loves this toy. There is some give to it, which probably feels similar to biting my hand, her favorite thing to do. It's very cute when she carries it around because it covers her eyes. She hasn't destroyed it yet, and that is another plus." —K8

Promising review: "I have a picky pup, and these always excite him when I sprinkle them! He eats up his food so well once I top it. You get a lot for the price! I love that they are tiny sprinkles so I can easily top his food. He loves the taste!!" —Jade Ruiz

Promising review: "My pup doesn’t play with toys, and I wanted something to keep her occupied; something she’d have fun with. She’s food-driven, so kibble is perfect for her. She enjoys the challenge and it gets a meal in, plus it’s adorable! The snuffle mat looks great and has kept up after a week straight so far. It’s sturdy and closes very tightly." —Jenny
