Promising reviews: "Dog approved. My two chewers love these! Honestly, I love them more because I feel good about giving them a healthy treat that also keeps them busy for a bit." —Merry

"The Bully Sticks are great entertainment for our dogs. Especially our pup! She is in the teething stage and wants to chew on EVERYTHING! So, we decided to try these dog chews to see if they would help satisfy her chewing needs. She absolutely LOVES them! Just one stick will last her for DAYS and keep her busy for a hours (not all at once of course). Our bigger dog, however, can get through one in like 15 minutes, if that. We got this bag of chews just to try them out, but are definitely going to get another one asap!" —monique Jauregui

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in three stick sizes and many pack sizes).

Each cleaner comes with a trial size of Bissell's Spot & Stain Formula, which is also available on Amazon for $12.99! 

Promising review: "Y’all, this has been in my cart for forever. I just wasn’t sure I could justify buying it. Finally pulled the trigger and now I wish I did sooner! It’s cute, it’s light and small, and it WORKS. Great for all the basics: spots on carpets, sofa spills on the couch, etc but my biggest win is my car!! My car is 7-years-old with light seat colors and frequent barn trips so the seats look gross. Detailing costs (over $400) is just not in the budget. I decided to use this cleaner on the seats this morning. I’m beyond pleased!" —Amanda Nolan

Get it from Amazon for $79.99+ (available in four styles).

Promising review: "My kittens love this! They pick it up and carry it around the house! It is super quiet when they they are playing so no super loud noisy bells but they keep them entertained for hours! Love the color too as it is very vibrant! It is very easy for the kittens to use the toy for chewing and it helps them not chew on things they shouldn't be!" —Kayla s.

Promising review: "Got this for my kitty cat. She figured it out pretty quickly, but it keeps her entertained for a good 15–20 minutes. Haven't noticed her chewing on it at all. Perfect size for my kitty, but she's also smaller than average. Would not recommend for a larger pet. Worth every penny. Going to get her more little puzzles soon!" —A Hein

Promising reviews: "I love this candle! I'm on my second one of the Bamboo Watermint scent (which is lovely, btw) and plan to try a new scent with my next purchase. I have two puppies who currently spend most of their time in my living room and it can get a little smelly in there even with regular cleaning. I came across these candles while looking for a way to freshen up the space and couldn't be happier. They are long lasting and I'm excited about the added bonus of a reusable glass container. Thank you One Fur All!" —Jenny

"I love these candles. They are long-burning, the fragrances are great, and I feel better knowing they're safe for my pets. I decided to try the bamboo mint, and I have to admit it is not one of my favorites. My absolute favorite scent is the mango peach." —Bunny Mama

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in 12 scents; check out all the scents here)

You can use them for cats, dogs, guinea pigs, hamsters, bunnies, etc. And they're also great for whelping boxes.

Promising review: "This item was the perfect choice for my bunnies’ pen. The design is gorgeous. I wanted something light and easy to maneuver under their heavier acrylic pen, and this one fits the bill perfectly. Washed and dried, and kept its shape. Its leak-proof and waterproof design helps with pet mess and water bowl spillage, ensuring a nice dry space for bunny flops. Two in a pack allows me to switch out when washing, so my buns are always protected. I cannot say enough about this brand and the value overall will have me coming back as needed when I expand their pen." —Sam Cam

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in various prints and sizes).

Promising review: "This is such a funny toy. It keeps my puppy entertained. It makes the funniest noises; I laugh every time I hear my dog playing with it. At first, my pup was kind of scared of it, but now he's super curious and loves to push it around with his nose to hear the sound. It's hilarious!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "I bought this broom based on the tons of great reviews and I am not disappointed. I love this broom! It is lightweight but sturdy. I have used it on tile floors and carpet and it does a great job of getting the pet hair, lint, and dirt. I like this so much better than our traditional push broom. It is very easy to clean after use just using my hand, unlike our old broom. It also has a telescoping handle so that you can adjust it to whatever height you need. There is also a squeegee for doing the house windows and the car windows. I highly recommend it." —Joyce V

Get it from Amazon for $15.99+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "He loves this, he will roll it around for ages, nose to the floor right behind it waiting for the treats to drop out." —Lorraine B

Promising reviews: "My bunny never plays with toys, but I put his snacks in here and he uses it religiously. He got the hang of it pretty much immediately and loves this toy now. He is very food fueled so this is great for getting some enrichment and exercise going." —Rose W

Get a 2-pack from Amazon for $9.99 (available in two color sets and other pack sizes).

Promising review: "I give these to my Frenchie once a day and have not had an allergy issues with him. He likes them and eats it like a treat. Soft and easy for him to chew. Keeps his skin from being itchy and his coat shiny! I keep these on order!!!" —Brandon

Get it from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in 50-, 90-, and 250-counts and six flavors).

Promising review: "I was amazed at how much my dog loves this. I spread a little dog toothpaste on it after brushing his teeth and gave it to him as a reward. He can’t wait to get the reward, so he comes running and jumps up into my lap every night when it’s time to brush teeth, then spends about an hour chewing and playing with it while I relax and enjoy a Netflix TV episode." —Annie1RN

Get it from Amazon for $12.59+ (available in four sizes and two styles).

*And* it comes with five lil' fruity cushions. Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Paws. 

Promising reviews: "I was afraid this purchase was going to be more for me than for my cats, but I couldn't help how cute it is and decided to try it out anyway. The cats love it! They love to play with the fruit (especially the kiwi and orange) and even with the bed itself! Would totally purchase this again!" —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "My cat loves this, she sleeps in it all the time and loves having the window open to relax and watch the outside world. Easy to put together, soft, comfy, yet sturdy enough to hold both our cats, no problem! Will be buying at least one more again." —Simplysan

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in two sizes and four colors).

Promising review: "Got this for my 2-year-old Bernedoodle for Christmas (yes, I buy my dogs Christmas presents 😂). Anyway, my dog is very particular about his toys, and he LOVES this thing. Hasn’t put it down since I gave it to him. It flips and flops every time he touches it. He prances around the house with it flopping in his mouth all day long, he’s very proud of his catch." —Melissa Odsather

Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in two different fish).

Promising review: "I frequently buy this woven grass mat for my indoor rabbit, and she absolutely loves it! She enjoys tearing it apart and throwing it around, it keeps her busy and away from things she shouldn’t chew. It doesn’t last forever (because she likes destroying it!), but that’s part of the fun. Definitely a great enrichment item for any rabbit or small pet." —Adrienne 

Get a 3-pack from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two sizes and multipacks). 

Promising reviews: "WOW!!!! I was skeptical when I ordered this, too good to be true, right? But it works, and it works really well! I removed a bunch of undercoat from my dog!! Great price! Easy to use and didn’t hurt my dog at all. Can’t say enough good about this brush!!! Buy it!!" —Kimberly Lagasse 

"This is the best tool I have ever bought for my pets! I have had many cats and a couple of dogs over the past 60 years. I’ve never even been close to getting the loose hair out like this does. I was in absolute amazement at the amount of hair that came off my long-haired Siamese cat. She loved it, too! I can already tell there will be less hairballs thrown up! Yay!" —Amazon Customer

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

Promising review: "This glove is amazing! We have two Golden Retrievers and hair is EVERYWHERE. I use this on the couch, chairs, bed, clothing, you name it! So easy for kids to use as well and so satisfying to see all the collected hair." —Koryn Franson

Get it from Amazon for $15.29+ (available in two colors and a 2-pack).

Promising review: "I have a 4-month-old terrier mix that is obsessed with tug of war. This is set up on our tree, and she loves it! Makes us laugh every time she plays." —Jennifer

"Great product, had to show her how to use it at first. It's like the equivalent of buying your child an iPad. Keeps her entertained for hours!!" —Abigail

Get it from Amazon for $15.33+ (available in two colors).

Promising review: "I bought a white fluffy cat. I didn't choose her she chose me. She is my baby, HOWEVER, I will never buy another white cat again because it is AWFUL. I would literally roller brush the clothes in my dirty laundry basket, wash them, then roller brush them AGAIN. Laundry literally would take six hours, UNTIL I bought this. This is the best purchase I've ever made. Saves me time, money, and frustration. It's absolute magic. I don't know how it works, but I am extremely grateful for this product. It gets all of the hair so easily and FAST. Maybe I'll consider getting another white cat." —Macy Alan

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in three colors and a mini travel version).

Promising reviews: "My cats absolutely LOVE this toy! I really like that it adheres to wherever you want to put it, PLUS it is a no-mess catnip/treat option for your furry babies! I bought two and WILL be getting more soon, I love them that much! HIGHLY recommend this product and this seller!!!!! Seller is also really sweet and is quick to respond to emails, should you have any questions! You don't find customer service like this anymore, THE BEST!!!" —Pumphrey 

"I cannot express how delighted I am with the Catnip Toys Balls – my cats are truly captivated! The moment these toys are up, it's as if my home transforms into a catnip paradise. My furry companions spend hours engaged in licking, batting, and playful antics with these irresistible toys. What's truly impressive is their secure attachment to the window, allowing my cats to unleash their playful frenzy without the worry of toys falling down. Plus, they look absolutely adorable, resembling little turtles. The genius simplicity of these toys never ceases to amaze me; they effortlessly keep my cats entertained and busy. The infusion of catnip scent is like a magic spell, driving them wild and ensuring they keep coming back for more. If you're looking to provide endless amusement and enrichment for your cats, these window toys are an absolute must. Your feline friends will shower you with love for introducing them to such a delightful source of joy!" —Bergen County Housewife

Promising review: "An ingenious device to make your cat happy. My cat loves, loves, loves to have her head, face, and neck brushed. I do it regularly, but I liked the idea of her being able to get a scratch whenever she wanted. I put this up on the wooden side of her bed, where she likes to rub her head anyway. (I used little nails to avoid marring the painted surface.) She quickly began using it. I was a little worried that she might do it obsessively and rub all her hair off, but so far, she just gives herself a few scratches. I highly recommend this if your cat likes to rub their head on things." —Lynx

Promising review: "I opened the bed, put the cover on it and set it aside to let it fully expand. Once I pulled it out, my dogs love it! It's soft and feels pretty comfortable to the touch. The color is rich, its thick and holds its shape. Quality and value in this dog bed, not to mention a favorite in the house!" —Dianna

get it from Amazon for $35.98+ (available in nine sizes and 17 styles)

Promising reviews: "We have a high-energy, 50-pound Kelpie-Collie who is ball-bonkers and were looking for something new for her to race after. As a puppy, she had a tug-rope that she loved to chase, and the Jolly Ball fit the bill for a replacement. She is absolutely NUTS about this toy and immediately picked up how to play with it. So far, the Jolly Ball has held up to fetch, tug-of-war, and rigorous head-tossing without issue. The rope is woven cotton, and the ball is a thin but durable-seeming rubber. Overall, very satisfied!" —AJ

"Hank loves this ball! It combines his two favorite toys in one (balls and ropes). We love playing tug of war with it as well as kicking it around. The ball is definitely durable; he is an 80-pound AmStaff mix with a very strong jaw yet has not been able to destroy it. There are teeth marks but that is only because of the type of material it is, which is exactly as designed. It is worth every penny as it keeps him entertained and can actually withstand his rowdy play style. I would recommend this to anyone with a large breed dog who is rough on their toys and enjoys interactive play." —Stephanie

Get it from Amazon for $10.49+ (available in three sizes and five colors).

Promising review: "A great reward for your cats. I have been treating my cat to these since he was a kitten. When he got outside, I managed to get him in the house simply by 'crinkling' the treat’s packaging at the door, and he came ZOOMing in! I appreciate the amount of packets in this box as well. Your cat will SO love them!" —JJB

Get a 40-pack from Amazon for $25.58+ (available in other flavors and packs).

Promising review: "This is a great product. The cats can't bite at the treat tube (or my fingers by accident), and it is easy to clean up. Depending on your treat tube, it may not slide in perfectly... You may have to fold the side a little. Once you do that, it works exactly as it should. I also find my cats are more receptive to taking the treat from this than either the tube or on a dish (I have at least one very picky kitty!)" —Rachael

Promising review: "OMG this is disgusting!!! I hope this isn't all just cat pee that shows up cause there is a lot! I bought this because I thought my cat was peeing in one room and couldn't find the exact spot so I bought this. Found the spot and more. Would recommend." —Momof3boys

Promising reviews: "I have a whole room filled with cat toys that my cat is not interested in. It's funny how the least expensive cat toy I have makes him the happiest. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —Kwoo

Promising reviews: "This foam is a game changer! My Labs tolerated the wipes on their feet, but this foam and applicator make cleaning faster and easier. The applicator is soft, doesn’t get caught on paw pads or fur, and leaves the pads clean and soft. Have a paper towel handy, as so much dirt is removed with just one pump. Amazing product!" —Ron R.

"I wanted something that would clean my baby’s paws after our walks because I didn’t want germs or dirt coming into the house. It smells great, it works well, and I can see that the rubber part doesn’t bother my doggy! It’s super easy to use and I use to keep her paws clean and my house clean! 10/10 especially for the price point!" —Thia

Promising review: "Our cats absolutely LOVE THIS TOY! They played with it as soon as we opened it! Keeps them busy for quite awhile!! I strongly recommend getting it for indoor play! You can’t beat the price either and the quality is really good!" —Gary

Promising review: "Most effective odor controller ever. I have three cats, which means four large, open-face litterboxes in a two-bedroom apartment... Get comments all the time from friends and family, amazed that our place doesn't smell. I scoop 2x a day and refresh litter often, full changes monthly, but this just stretches litter even further. You can't even tell when my girl with IBS goes now, and she used to clear a room. Been using this for years now and will never go back to baking soda, crystals, or sprays. Also doesn't bother my asthma girly, smells like bubblegum to me, but not overpowering." —EC

Get it from Amazon for $11.97 (also available in a 2-pack).

Promising review: "I can't live without it now. My cats are a big pain in my butt when it comes to pushing litter out of the litterbox. Sometimes they even just play with it (which I don't understand), and this product saves me so much time and energy on cleaning up their mess!" —Naomi
