Calming Donut Bed
COURTESY OF LESURE
"My cat has a bed for every room in the house (yes, she is spoiled), but this is by far her favorite. The donut shape is super sturdy, so she can curl up in the middle or lounge on the sides and it keeps its shape. I love that I can easily unzip the cover and take it off for a quick wash so it stays clean and fluffy. Plus, the patterns are insanely cute."

Dog Bag Dispenser
COURTESY OF AMAZON
"I've gone through a lot of chintzy dog bag holders that break after just a few months of use. This one features a durable rubber strap that's easy to attach to the leash. Plus, it's so simple to load and rip off the bags; no more fumbling around to tear off a bag in the cold while your fingers freeze!"

PrettyLitter
COURTESY OF PRETTYLITTER
"Let's be real, cleaning out the litter box will never be a glamorous task—but this product makes it so much easier. The crystals trap the odor better than any other litter I've tried, and they change color to signify if your cat has a potential health issue. While it's on the pricier side, it's been a total gamechanger."

Felt Cat Cave
COURTESY OF CHEWY
"As tempting as it might be to leave a few cardboard shipping boxes on the floor for my cats to hide in (IYKYK)—I don't love the "I missed recycling day" look. But I think my boys like their cat caves even more than cardboard boxes if that's possible. Handcrafted by artisans in Nepal, the felted wool looks great and makes for a cozy cocoon perfect for hiding and napping all year round."

Shark Vertex Vacuum
COURTESY OF AMAZON
"We have a long-haired cat who sheds a lot, and this vacuum picks up even the finest cat hairs on the first pass. We’ve tried a few different vacuums and this is by far the most effective one we’ve used. It has settings for all different flooring types and is super easy to clean and empty."

FURminator Undercoat Deshedding Tool
COURTESY OF AMAZON
"I am the proud owner of a long-haired dog, but one thing I'm not proud of are the clumps of dog hair scattered across my floors. The FURminator brush not only takes care of my dog's thick undercoat without affecting his topcoat, but it releases the hair with a push of a button for easy cleanup."

Corn on the Cob Treat Dispenser
COURTESY OF CHEWY
"I don't know what it is about this Kong-type treat dispenser, but my Great Pyrenees is completely in love with it. I stuff it full of training treats and she will work on getting them out throughout the week. It's also dishwasher safe, so it's easy to clean in between uses."

EZ Mount Window Scratcher Kitty Sill
COURTESY OF CHEWY
"This is the best purchase I have ever made for my cats. It provides a space for the cats to watch the birds, sun bathe and get out their need to scratch. It is also incredibly sturdy and can handle cats playing on it. My cats love this so much you can even see them sitting in it on Google Maps."
— Ashe Purscell, Executive Assistant
Chom Chom
COURTESY OF AMAZON
"This is my all time favorite pet product that I recommend to just about everyone. It does a fantastic job at removing pet hair, and for a deeper clean than a standard lint roller, even pulls up the hard-to-grab scragglers that live inside my soft surfaces. I use it all over my house: cat tower and dog bed, more obiviosuly, but also on upholstery, bedding, and even clothes. It's easy to use and can be reused over and over with no waste (other than the hair it's picking up, of course)."
