Promising review: "This is the best paw cleaner I have ever used. Now that I’ve used it for a week, I'm in love with it!

The applicator on the nozzle works so well and is easy to clean between the pads. It smells fine. A little fruity, but not unpleasant at all. A little goes a long way, too. I’ve used a lot of cleanser products, and many are good, but this product is exceptional." —Tara Lea

Get it from Amazon for $6.24 (also available in multi-packs).

Promising review: "My dog is so active, and he needs to use that energy. This was a great purchase. Gives my large dogs a workout, and they enjoy it. It does make noise, and it's loud on my laminate floors, so they usually play with it outside." —Your Realtor Jen

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in four styles and a two-pack).

Promising review: "Size extra small for our 4-pound goldendoodle. Got these to take her jet skiing and to keep debris out of her eyes. They fit her well, can’t wait to take her out on the water to have fun while having her protected. She looks so cute in them, and didn’t seem to mind too much. After a while, she was done prancing around in her cuteness, wearing them for no other reason than trying them on and looking cute! Value for the price, comfortable fit, and going to turn heads, making people laugh!" —Allegra Koupal

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in three sizes and colors).

Promising review: "I don't ever write reviews, but this product has changed my dog’s quality of life. My 14-year-old puggle was constantly scratching, so much so that she had given herself sores. After taking Zesty Paws for one week, I began to see her scratch less. She has been taking them for a month now, and the itching has completely stopped. My pup loves the peanut butter flavor, so she easily chews them. I will be purchasing them on subscription for my next purchase. She will be taking Zesty Paws the rest of her life." —Janet Schickling

Get it from Amazon for $32.97+ for a box of 90 treats (available in five flavors and also in packs of 50 and 250).

Promising review: "Not one to leave reviews but had to come here to say if you’re looking for something cute, modern, and fun...this is it! My cats can now have a pool day with me! Within minutes, we had our first lounger, and he loved it. Then there was a fight over the chair, so we have now ordered two more for the rest of the loungers lol. Well worth the laughs and purchase! And it’s so fun and cute! Seems like good quality for its price." —pickes25

Get it on Amazon for $41.99 (available in two colors and with or without the palm tree scratching post). 

Promising review: "AC has been out in my apartment for over two weeks, and these mats have literally saved my cats! The mats are always cool to the touch, and my kitties love them." —Marla Previtte

Get it from Amazon for $12.20+ (available in nine sizes and 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

It comes with a water bottle and two bowls. 

Promising review: "I love this water bottle. I take it whenever I walk my dog, and I can drink from the main reserve and pour some for him in the detachable bottom cup. It's nice that it also comes with a cup for food. Simplifies packing for him." —Kloe

It requires two D batteries (not included). 

Promising review: "This fan is very powerful, so it made a great choice for helping keep our little dog cool during those hot and humid summer nights with no air conditioning. Of course, she also had a cool bed and blanket. I am considering purchasing another one since I have two dogs." —hottubpal

Promising review: "Easy to set up and folds flat for convenient storage. the perfect size for cooling off on hot days." —Yang

Get it from Chewy for $32.99 (originally $40.99; available in four colors).

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. Five stars!" —Sdavenport

Promising review: "Our German Shepherd LOVES the hose, this makes it 10x better. He could be at it for hours if we let him, but unfortunately, the sun does set. We look forward to it lasting for years to come." —Cassandra

BuzzFeed editor Jenae Sitzes has this cat fountain and said: "Both of my cats took to this fountain immediately — I do feel like they drink *way* more water with it around, and I love not having to stress about refilling their water bowl every single day. I did take the flower waterfall off of mine (as shown in the gif above); you may find your cat prefers that. It's super quiet with only the lightest trickling sound (which is honestly kind of relaxing), and it gets louder when the water gets low inside, signaling to you that it's time to refill. I always do a quick clean with soap and water at that point, too — it takes no more than a few minutes. Just be sure to do a deep clean of the filter every so often, too. It pops open really easily for cleaning!" 

Promising review: "Sonthis 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: "My mini Goldendoodle is ~25 pounds but has a long and lean body. I wasn't sure what size to get her, as she was in the weight range for a small, but her length was more medium. I ordered both, and the medium was perfect. Still fit snugly around her body, but went all the way down her back. We took her swimming in the bay, and it kept her afloat great! The handles on the top were really nice for pulling her back into the boat." —HenleysMom

Get it from Chewy for $19.99+ (originally $27.49+; available in sizes XS–XL and two colors).

Promising review: "I bought this for my yellow lab, and she absolutely loves it! So easy to set up! All you have to do is lay it out and attach the hose. You can control how high the water squirts with your hose's water pressure. When done, just turn off your hose, and the water just drains right out. Great quality. Well worth the money." —Layla

Get it from Amazon for $49.95 (available in nine sizes/styles and two colors).

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

Can hold up to two kids or one dog and one kiddo. 

Promising reviews: "Super cute and perfect for my older dog who can’t walk. Easy for him to get in and out of, and the push or pull option is great." —Little O's Bows

Promising review: "LOVE this brush/tool, it removes more hair than you can imagine! Had no idea there was so much loose hair on the smooth-coated dogs just waiting to be EASILY brushed away! Loved this so much that I also purchased the FURminator for Long Coats. You might want to use this outside or have your vacuum on standby! —Sandra

Get it from Chewy for $31.87+ (originally $37.49+; available in sizes S–L and three colors). 

Promising review: "I have a lab who LOVES to be out on the water. When we go out on the lake, you can't ever get her back in the boat. That being said, we have gone through SO many dog toys over the years. She loves all of them, but they just don't hold up well. We have tried all kinds of frisbees and balls, and she destroys them all. Not this thing! It looks like the foam would come apart easily, given how it feels, but it does not! Our lab can lie on the boat, sink its teeth into this thing like it is a bone, and it still looks brand new! I am 100% impressed, and I will never buy anything else!" —Schmitty549

Get it from Amazon for $9.14+ (available in two sizes).

Promising review: "I have a VERY anxious mastiff mix rescue pup. We don’t know much about his background, but he was definitely abused and suffers from bad anxiety and separation anxiety. We’ve tried EVERYTHING to help with his separation anxiety when we have to go to work; thundershirts, music, toys, etc. After talking to his vet and dog trainers, we figured we’d try a crate cover to try and help keep him gone when we’re not at home. Before, he would chew and dig his crate, resulting in the bottom pan getting shredded and the door being severely bent. As soon as I put the crate cover on, it was an instant change. He was a bit hesitant at first because it’s new, but he LOVES it. He’s so much calmer and more relaxed. The cover makes it darker and more enclosed, like a den, so he feels a lot safer.

"The cover itself is great quality! It’s easy, super easy to install, and fits great, so my pup can’t get to the corners and chew them. The material is waterproof (and drool-proof), so it’s easy to just wipe down when needed. Definitely recommend this cover! Especially if you have an anxious pup!" —Emily

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in eight sizes and 10 colors).

That is one of the best toys for kittens, especially for pet parents who are concerned about choking hazards.

Promising review: "My cats aren't kittens, but they enjoy this very much. I hear the ball going round and round. They like the scratch circle in the middle. And my big boy just loves to lie on it. Good product for the price. Hope I can get refills in the future." —Christina

Promising review: "I LOVE this pet backpack!! I have a maltipoo (my lovely little fur baby), and she likes to go with me everywhere. Now I can take her hiking on trails with me! 😊 The backpack is so roomy but not bulky, a win! There are two small zipped side pockets, perfect for two water bottles. There is a harness buckle, so your little one doesn’t fall out. I walked with the flap open so she could stand, sit, and be nosey. She was perfectly safe the entire 3-mile hike." —The busiest woman you know
