Toys that purr, sprays that detangle, diffusers that break the tension, and more.

Promising review: "My cat was anxious and irritable, but within two days of plugging this in, she became affectionate, stayed close to me instead of hiding under the sofa, and even stopped hissing at the dog. It was a dramatic difference. I ended up buying a second one for another part of the house." —Jody

Promising review: "Have had this for years for my two indoor cats. I vacuum, among other things, my bedsheets before washing to cut down on hairballs. I bought one for my son who has two dogs, and he loves it. Dual filters are washable, making it environmentally friendly. Have not had to replace the inner filter yet; I just keep washing it with mild detergent. Very durable." —Janice

Promising review: "This grooming kit is an amazing way to groom my husky—definitely the best money I've spent. My dog is very nervous and difficult to work with; she has never allowed me to brush her, let alone touch her paws. Several groomers have even refused to work with her. I’ve paid hundreds of dollars for each grooming session, and being on a fixed income, it became really expensive. I was so happy to see my dog actually allowing me to groom her using this machine. I had even started thinking about giving her up. I was desperate for a solution, and this grooming kit did the job." —Patricia

Promising review: "Excellent smell, safe and natural. This works to neutralize the odors my two labradors tend to accumulate in between their baths." —Amy

Promising review: "My pup absolutely loves this blanket! I got it to throw on my bed when he has wet paws, and it works like a charm. He snuggles up in it, it keeps my bed dry and clean, and it always washes out perfectly and gets squeaky clean. Plus, it’s adorable!! It gets five stars from me!!! :)" —Alyssa

Price: $18.23+ (originally $32.71+; available in four sizes and seven colors)

Promising review: "My dogs never turn down a Pill Pocket. It’s nice to know I won’t have to wrassle their pills into them — they love the taste and texture of these and gobble them no questions asked." —Samantha

Price: $8.79+ (originally $11.99+; available in four pack sizes and four flavors)

Promising review: “My dog is deeply attached and has separation anxiety. She used to try to run out the door with us, and we’d hear her whimpering and barking when we came home. We tried calming treats, pheromones, toys, and containment — nothing worked. Then we started training her with the Kong. She only gets it when we’re leaving, and she has to sit on a special rug to receive it, while we tell her to stay and be a good girl. We fill it with her favorite treats and a Kong Jerky to seal it in. Sometimes she’s still working on it when we return three or four hours later. Now, she’s much calmer instead of panicked — and our neighbors say the barking has stopped.” —Kristen

Price: $7.96+ (originally $8.99+; available in six sizes)

Promising review: "I have bought two other brands, and this is best one so far. Roomy and comfy for my dog. Fits well for me. I travel cross-country in my trailer and can’t leave my pup inside, so this works for when I need to shop." —Orchid

Price: $39.99 (available in five colors)

Promising review: "I wish I had bought this a long time ago! It makes it so much easier to throw farther (and saves my throwing shoulder)! I bought additional balls so I can rapid-fire — totally wears out my German Shorthaired Pointer!" —NotoriouslyK

Promising review: "The cats use this all the time. They use it because it's solid, unlike a lot of other pet stairs. I like it because it is light and easy to move around." —ann

"Took a minute for my dog to get used to it. Now, he uses them like a champ. Took five minutes to snap together. My dog weighs eighty pounds, and these are very solid." —Anthony

Price: $78.99 (available in four colors)

Promising review:  "I didn’t want to go the allergy shot route, so I reached out to a Black Mouth Cur Facebook group, and this product was recommended. After a couple of weeks, I noticed a significant difference: the rash started to clear up, the scratching lessened, and the smell was gone. The shedding also stopped. After six weeks, the rash is completely gone and he rarely scratches. I also switched him to an all-salmon diet — food and treats." —Virginia

Price: $32.99+ (also available in a 270-count jar and two flavors)

Promising review: "This container has been great! Rolls easily, seals tightly, holds a LOT of dog food, and the measuring scoop makes it a lot easier to feed accurately." —Lynne

Price: $19.98+ (available in three sizes and two colors)

Promising review: "These are excellent for paws that seem to have dirt ingrained in them when you use a regular wipe! I’m amazed at how quickly I saw my dog’s skin again after using this! Seriously a game changer!" —Jada

Promising review: "This mat is absolutely wonderful. It traps all the litter. No more sweeping the floor several times a day." —Connie

Promising review: "These are the only poop bags I buy. I’ve tried others, but the quality just isn’t there. I’m dog-sitting for a friend soon, and I know she doesn’t use Earth Rated bags... so yes, I’ll be bringing my own. I’m not a huge fan of the scented ones (lavender’s just not my jam), but if you’re into that, they might work for you. Otherwise, the classic unscented version is perfect." —Amanda

Price: $31.99 (originally $39.99; available in scented and unscented)

Promising review: "We have an embarrassing number of these springs because our cat loves them. He loses them — all the time — but he loves them! So, I order more so I don’t have to crawl around and get them from under the furniture. Does he have fancier toys? Yes. Does he give a hoot about those?! Nope. Get some for your cat — they’ll thank you!" —quix

Price: $3.99+ (available in three pack sizes)

Promising reviews: "All four of our dogs love eating cat poop. We moved our litter box to the bathroom and installed the Door Buddy. When our cat Goobs goes into the bathroom and leaves the ultimate dog treat (poop), they peek their heads in and look so sad that they have absolutely no access. 10/10 would recommend. Planning on getting one for the bedroom so when we’re out of the house so Goobs can have a sanctuary." —Melissa

"We needed something that would allow our cats to go down to the cellar but keep our toddler grandson out. This is what our daughter uses, and she recommended it because it requires to drilling or nailing and is adjustable." —Beth

Price: $16.94 (originally $19.99; available in two colors)

Promising review: "I already knew my cat was going to like this, but she loves it! She’s even crawled into the openings and slept inside. It’s an amazing toy for engaging her hunter/predator instincts — hiding toys inside and adding movement or sound makes it super stimulating. She loves curling up in a loaf to nap on it, scratching it, and making biscuits. I couldn’t recommend it more strongly for cat owners!" —Carly

Promising review: "Other pet parents are always asking what this is and where they can get one. It does the job well, and if you don't want to hold it, it balances even in grass pretty well. It's a lot easier to deal with than collapsible bowls and holds a good amount of water for longer walks." —Keira

Promising review: "My dog Winnie is 10 years old and was really struggling with his weight. We had tried other options and he was extremely picky. When we found Maev we noticed how different the food looks and how you can tell all of the ingredients that are included. I love that you can also pick a formula for your dog's needs. Winnie's weight has totally transformed and he has so much more energy!" —Naomi

Price: $49.99+ (available in four bag sizes, two flavors, and four formats)

Promising review: "We recently had two orphaned kittens, and they loved this! Really helped them settle in at night and made for a good nighttime routine of food, play, and then snuggle time with the purring 'mom.'" —Lisa

Promising review: "I couldn't believe how easy this made it to comb out my dog's matted fur and make his coat look really good! I'm impressed with this product and highly recommend it!" —Vicki

Promising review: "This is THE best tool to remove pet hair from my couch upholstery, bed quilt, carpeted stairs, etc. It does everything my vacuum can't and does it effectively and efficiently. I'm getting a second one to keep upstairs, for fear I'll wear just the one out. Excellent purchase! Love it!!" —Inga

Price: $24.99 (originally $31.95; available in two colors)

Promising review: "I LOVE these wipes. They do a great job of cleaning up between baths, removing that oily feel from my pets fur without irritating their skin at all. They're also great for paws and the occasional rear-end cleanup. They are so helpful to have handy, especially when you have several pets." —Nick

Price: $13.99+ (available in three pack sizes)

Promising review: "The Shele Quilted Water Resistant Hammock Car Seat Cover is a game-changer for pet owners! It's incredibly easy to install, fits perfectly, and offers top-notch protection for your car seats. The quilted fabric is both durable and comfortable for pets, while the water-resistant material keeps your seats safe from dirt, mud, and spills. Plus, it helps keep your pet secure and prevents them from sliding around. Overall, it’s a must-have for anyone who wants to protect their car while keeping their furry friend comfy and safe!" —Catherine

Price: $32.99+ (available in two colors)

Promising review: "This product absolutely lives up to the hype and is well worth the investment. My mother-in-law initially purchased one for her cats and spoke very highly of it, which prompted me to explore similar options for our dogs. 

After thorough research and comparison, I chose the OneIsAll PW07 Stainless Steel Dog Water Fountain 2.6 gallon, and it has truly been a game-changer. The size is perfect for our three small dogs, and I’ve noticeably seen an increase in their water intake since introducing it. 

We have always provided filtered water, but the built-in multi-stage filtration system offers an added level of reassurance that they are consistently drinking clean, safe water. Overall, this has been an excellent purchase, and I would highly recommend it to any pet owner looking to improve their dog’s hydration and overall well-being." —Leyna

Promising review: “Rosie Lou and Carl love their new raincoats! They are yellow labs who weigh around 90 pounds, and the XXL fits perfectly. I did not know if they would be annoyed with me for putting raincoats on them, but it turns out that they love them! They can play, go to the bathroom, basically do all the normal outside things without getting wet and having to get dried off.” —RosieLou
