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

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

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: "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

The heartbeat has two modes: 24-hour continuous use or eight-hour use with automatic shutoff. 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 American bully pup Grizzly will be 2 years old in November of this year and has been using a Snuggle Puppy ever since we’ve had him! It keeps him calm even without the heart beat or heat pad because he sucks on the legs. We’ve gotten many Snuggle Puppies for him throughout his life due to some of them getting super slobbery, dirty, or torn but they are very durable even when washed! It’s really a lifesaver for a sensitive dog like Grizzly and is a huge emotional support for him to keep him happily cuddled and entertained!!! 🥰 Highly recommend!!!" —Lalaababyy

Promising review: "We foster kittens and their moms. It did its job. This has worked on two of our three families of kittens. The kittens could focus on this and play. Even the moms liked it initially." —Spud's Place

Promising review: "Works excellent at keeping the tank odor down." —Chuckie1334

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

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

Promising reviews: "Love this so far. We have seven dogs total: three large, three medium, and one small. When the weather doesn't permit, they have accidents. We have towels to lay down for these accidents. I used the product, and it worked very well. The towels came out clean and smelling good." —sktc

"EXCELLENT product. After one use of cleaning all of my dog's laundry (towels, bedding, mats and toys) I was sold. Laundry came out so clean, odor/stain free, fresh and fluffy. A must-buy and a keeper!" —Andie

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

Promising review: "This product is amazing. Normally my dogs will destroy most of the new toys they get. (Super power chewers) We have had this for a few weeks, and they have not even made it past the first layer. Super durable, and the dogs love it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!" —Amanda J. Hamilton

"My doggo loves her Consuela-cicle. This keeps her entertained for a good amount of time and took a while to get opened compared to other BARK products. Really impressed." —Bryce

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: "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

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 reviews: "It's a unique toy. Bounces, makes sounds, and skitters around. My Aussie puppy loves it, and the sound is not annoying." —Jill

"Our border collie is high energy, and these toys can keep him entertained for a long time! He is a serious chewer, so the toy doesn't ever look like it did coming out of the box, but it does take him a while to totally destroy it. He'll first remove the tag, the tail, the unicorn horn, etc,, until it is simply a jumping plastic ball in a fabric cover. He then focuses on chasing it around and destroying the cover. Once the cover goes, he chases that plastic ball all over the house! At this stage, we have to keep an eye on him to make sure he doesn't unscrew it — but if he does, we simply screw it back together and playtime resumes — until it is so chewed up that the threads won't go back together. Then it's time to bring out a new toy! He loves them — and that distraction keeps us sane!" —Dee Heinrich

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 reviews: "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

"My cat rubs her chin on everything she can find. Walls and door frames, our cell phones and laptops, cabinet and fridge doors, boxes, you name it. She also loves chin scratches, but hates to be brushed. So I got her this. It’s basically made of the teeth of a plastic comb, but sticks onto the corner of a wall/door frame. She is NUTS about it!! I swear, throughout the course of a day she spends an hour at least rubbing on this thing. The added areas to stash catnip in it are great! It’s hilarious to watch her smell the catnip, look for it, and keep rubbing her chin hoping it’ll fall out!!! 😂 I’ll probably order her a few more (to place all over the house, why not). And I just recommended these to our friend who has a similarly inclined cat: he’s had the same results. His cat rubs on this toy All. The. Time. Highly recommend!" —ErinAlegra

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

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

Promising reviews: "Well these are freaking AMAZING! No odor, machine washable, well made! We are using them for our Baby BunBun Cookie. 🐇 I wash them every two weeks. Not because they smell, but just because they need to be right?? You wouldn't know because they still look perfect!" —Heather Welch

"Great size, great price! Super absorbing, odor-free. Highly recommend! A+ seller." —Momof3

Promising review: "So I have a fat little doggie who leaks. It makes the entire house stink, not to mention my other two dogs have to roll around in it. Bought these diapers and life was instantly better. No more pee-soaked blankets or odor." —Jen Blue

Get it from Amazon for $18.99+ (available in sizes S–XL and 10 color packs).

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

"My vet recommended this toy to get my two cats more active and to help them play together. I was doubtful at first since it doesn’t have all the fancy components most cat toys today advertise, but it has been amazing!!! Usually it is the most simple toys that entertain cats and kittens. This toy has been the best so far and has helped my cats be more active!" —Kyla

Promising reviews: "We've had this product for quite a few months now. I wanted to wait to do a review. My dog LOVES this toy. The dog has to lift the red lids to get to the top compartments and remove the white bones, then slide the top compartments to get to the second level of compartments. It didn't take long to learn what he needed to do, but he still loves getting the toy with treats inside. He rips the red lids off the top compartments instead of just lifting them up. They are very durable and don't show any damage from him doing that. We are all very happy with this product. Highly recommend." —sweetvettegal

"Excellent product; my puppy has a lot of energy, and this toy has become his favorite for keeping himself entertained." —Maykeling Salazar

Promising review: "I really had a hard time believing for the price and design, this was gonna help me with my pet hair problem. I was desperate for anything as I was choking on dog hair after waking up every morning. I tried it on my couch, which I spend hours vacuuming, thinking it was going to be a let-down. I open the chamber and sweet peas and rice...the amount of hair it pulled out of my couch was astounding. I spent the next two hours using it on my couch and my room rug (which is also vacuumed twice a week), holy crap, buckets, it’s the most amazing thing of all time! The amount of dog hair I pulled actually helped with the smell, I kid you not. I get my workout for arm day all done after about an hour, and my furniture feels so much better! I would love a carpet version, so I’m not on my hands and knees with the hand version, but until that day comes, I’m still using it lol. It’s durable, no mess, no stupid fly sticky tape garbage that picks up nothing. Easy to clean and store. Love this product!" —Amanda Watkins

See it in action on TikTok, where the reviewer uses it to clean dog fur off their car's upholstery.  

Promising review: "This little triangle tool is powerful! It pulls embedded hair out of car carpets and upholstery that vacuums can’t touch. The grip feels comfortable, and it’s easy to maneuver into corners and seams. Perfect for anyone who drives with their dog — highly recommended." —Lito

Get it from Amazon for $13.45+ (available in nine colors).

Promising review: "I ordered this two-pack for my dog for Christmas, and I didn’t hold out much hope that they would last. I have been nicely surprised. My 65+ pound pittie-boxer has always destroyed every soft toy I’ve ever bought for him, but nearly six months later, they are still intact, and he plays very roughly with them, loving to use them for tug-of-war. The squeaker has also lasted, and he really enjoys playing with them. I did have to repair a small hole he managed to make in one, but it was a quick fix and has held up well. He does sneak them outside once in a while, but I just throw them in the washer and dryer (low heat), and they come out like new. It’s great to have two, so one can be washed while he plays with the other." —Money

"Very cute, entertaining toy for my grandpups! They prefer animals and squeaky toys with bright colors. This one checked the boxes. Bonus – it matches their new beds. So far it's very durable and entertaining. I recommend!" —Donna

Get it from Amazon for $10.78 (you get a randomly selected color pack of 10).

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: "I have been saying 'I should go on Amazon and give this toy a 5-star review' since I purchased it in 2016, just over four years ago. Well, today’s the day. Purchased when she was only a 4-month-old pup, this is one of Lucy’s favorite all-time toys. She loves playing with it when we are busy, when she just wants a snack, or when she just wants to make some good, loud, rattly noises. Kibble is all she needs in there to keep her happy. She learned quickly to use her head and feet to push it around, though as an impatient pup, she tried chewing it open at the top to no avail; henceforth, all the toothmarks. This toy is VERY durable; I expect we will never have to buy a new one. The added texture from her chewing helps to collect all the long hair off the carpet, too — mine and my daughter's — BONUS! At first, she would roll it over the vent and then stand there and do her cute little puppy bark at her lost treats, but soon she learned to gently pick it up and carry it away from the vent to avoid such disappointments. She will also carry it to us to fill it when it’s empty. And of course, we do because that face! Oh my goodness, she’s so cute." —Ludwig

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 twice 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: "This stuff actually works. Just a sprinkle after sifting eliminates the urine smell, especially since our natural litter doesn't clump as well, and some small bits break off and get left behind in the box. There is a little chlorine smell initially, but it subsides pretty quickly." —spycee

Promising review: "These Johnny Cat Little Box liners are super convenient! They fit perfectly in my cat’s litter box and make cleaning so much easier. The material is sturdy and doesn’t tear easily, which is great for daily use. They help keep the litter box cleaner and reduce odor, and my cat didn’t seem bothered by them at all. Overall, a simple, helpful product that saves time and makes litter box maintenance a lot less messy — definitely recommend!" —mo

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

"They clean our pets' fur, ears and paws very well leaving them fresh and odor-free! I leave a pack in the car for easy clean ups on road trips too! Both of our dogs love the attention of getting clean and we love the convenience of having clean fur babies!! We will continue to use this handy product!" —Renee Beckman
