Promising review: "I'm using this puzzle with my cat, and it's great! I was initially eyeing a larger version, made by the same manufacturer, but opted for this one due to the smaller size (I live in an apartment). It's also cheaper here compared to Chewy. It's well constructed, the plastic seems easy to clean, and the puzzle itself stays still when in use due to its weight/grips on the bottom. You can hide your treats, three different ways: with the bone compartment that is removable, inside the sliders that can open, and underneath the sliders. My cat caught on fairly quickly and enjoys using it. I was concerned that this wouldn't work for her since it's intended for dogs but it works fine." —StephPrice: $9.99 A poop scoop because you want to stay as far away from icky dog messes as possible during your yard cleaning.

It has everything I need. You can create a feeding schedule, and it always works! The app also sends me push notifications for every feeding. The size is perfect too for three cats. Definitely worth every penny!" —EunicePrice: $69.99 A pack of pH-balanced grooming wipes that gently clean all the nooks and crannies, leaving your dog's skin and coat healthy and fresh. No need to wrestle your four-legged friend into the bathtub every few days — these wipes can handle the job. Promising review: "I have a 1-year-old mini poodle with lots of hair, who goes to daycare, swims, and goes on hikes. These wipes are by far the BEST! I've tried so many different wipes and none of them got the job done like these. Beyond moist, and the scent is to die for! This is a new staple in my daily household for my puppy." —Happy CustomerPrice: $4.99 for a 60-pack

32 Things To Get If You Want To Buckle Down And Get Your Life In Order
A sleek handheld steamer for turning wrinkly balls of fabric back into the pristine garments they were before you left them in the bottom of your closet. It heats up in just 20 seconds (!!!), so you can freshen up outfits right before you step out the door. And you really can't beat the price for how effective it is. A productivity cube so you can start time-blocking your day. It's a lot easier to focus on laundry or spreadsheets when you know a phone break is only 20 minutes away. And you can also use it to ensure your phone break is only 20 minutes long. ;) A weekly pill organizer designed with detachable compartments and push-through silicone lids so you can easily organize your pills at the beginning of the week without accidentally knocking the whole operation over and having to start from the beginning. A Ziploc bag organizer that pulls out so you can get a proper gander at your wonderful selection of shredded cheese. You can also install this in your freezer if you like to store your leftovers in bags. A habit tracker to encourage desired behaviors — anything from drinking more water to remembering to stretch. It breaks down into daily and weekly tasks, so you can fully appreciate your mini accomplishments. A two-section Joseph Joseph hamper so you can separate your light and dark laundry *now* instead of struggling to do it at the laundromat. The included bags make it easy to go right from hamper to machine. Plus, the lid contains smells and hides your unmentionables. A CovoBox made from reclaimed books and sustainable wood that's hollow on the inside, so you can hide your router, cable box, or other unsightly wires. Now you can look neat *and* well-read. A Howard Products Feed-N-Wax wood polish and conditioner to give your furniture an impossibly lustrous shine previously never seen in your home.

Heavy-duty cord wraps so you finally take care of the hoses and extension cords that keep tripping you on your way to the car. All you need is some wall space and a hook to make it happen. An adjustable rod that hangs onto the one in your closet so you can double your storage space in a flash. There's no mounting hardware — just unbox and hang. It's time to finally get rid of the shirt pile in your bedroom corner! A pack of Arm & Hammer dog wipes so you can keep pets fresh between baths. Use 'em for freshening up coats, muzzles, paws, and butts. The glycerin, aloe, and oat extract moisturize, and the mango scent is sure to be a hit — at least, it's way better than wet dog smell stinking up the house.

When you water your houseplants, the crystals retain the moisture and release it as the soil dries. An organizer happy to store all your increasingly complicated passwords. At least 12 characters, including a symbol, number, capital letter, ancient rune, and the fleeting details of a half-remembered dream? COME ON!

Only time will tell. A sturdy car organizer that'll make you feel a little better about all the random junk rolling around your car. Once everything is neatly organized, it will feel like it belongs there. Noooo, that's not a bottle of laundry detergent I forgot to bring inside — it's there for emergencies on road trips. 🙂↕️ A cutie pie planner to help you be a busy bee, or more likely a take-it-slow sloth. There's room for appointments, errands, and people to in due time. A Nooni tinted appleberry lip oil if you normally forgo lip care because you're sick of ones that leave your pout feeling sticky, dry, or messy. The apple seed and raspberry extract-infused oil offers long-lasting hydration and a touch of color without you having to stress about it transferring or smudging. A set of extra mini drawers that clip onto your shelves so you can easily grab what you need instead of having to remove half the contents of your fridge just to get to the mayo.

Plus, with a newly organized drawer, you don't have to worry about ladles or tongs jamming things up. A massive collection of white crew socks because Zoomers have decreed ankle socks passé. These simple Hanes socks are thick, comfortable, cheap — and most importantly, uniform, so folding laundry will be sooo much faster. A magnetic whiteboard where you can designate a household chore schedule because doing dishes is a drag, but arguing with your roommate about them is even worse. A four-sided cleaning brush to breathe new life into your salt-stained boots. It'll remove the scuff marks and stains that have marred your suede shoes for an instantly more polished look.

You can tell Fido to stay off the couch all you want, but dogs don't speak Human! Instead, use this reusable roller to reclaim your seating. A set of Command spray bottle hangers to stick to the inside of a cabinet door for easy storage, so you can grab the multi-cleaner *the second* you hear food hit the floor.

36 Things That Just Want To Make Life Easier For Pet Owners
A catnip wall mount with four different-flavored balls so your kitty can perform a taste test and decide their favorite. It's basically a bourbon flight for cats — that's so cool! They'll be too preoccupied sampling the goods to scream at you for treats for at least a solid 15 minutes (a century in hungry cat time). A nail grinder that's a little easier and gentler than the traditional clipper. Gone are the days of having to use both hands to clip and praying you don't cut too short. Instead: a relaxing spa day. A pack of Arm & Hammer shampoo wipes for quick and easy cleanups. Use 'em for freshening up coats, muzzles, paws, and butts. The glycerin, aloe, and oat extract moisturize, and the mango scent is sure to be a hit — at least, it's way better than wet dog smell. A mini cat tag in case your lil' Houdini slips out the door again. In a world with so many stray cats, this can help them stand out as a pet in need of assistance. CoveLeather is a small business that sells pet supplies. Promising review: "It's so tiny and cute; I love that it doesn't take up so much space on my kitty's collar so she doesn't feel overburdened by tags." —OranGet it from CoveLeather on Etsy for $8+ (available in three styles and two colors). A pack of paw protection cream with vitamin E to keep paw pads nice and soft. Most dogs hate shoes, so this helps keep their tootsies safer from the elements (salt and ice in the winter and hot sidewalks in the summer). Promising review: "My dog has extremely dry and cracked paws, so rough she gets stuck to the carpet. I've tried just about everything, all failed for various reasons. This product works. I was only able to do one paw the first time, she fought me like a demon. Next time she let me do all four with little fuss, she likes the result. I followed everyone's lead and put it on right before walks. I've noticed that she wants to run and jump more, and genuinely is happy with her feet. One downside is because it softens the pads you have to be careful where they step; she picked up a thorny branch where before the treatment it wouldn't penetrate. Fair trade in my opinion; now we can play and snuggle without her scratching me up. Bottom line: love it, the dog loves it, good value little goes a long ways. —PeggyGet it from Amazon for $15.99. A Chom Chom pet hair remover if you'd prefer your furniture to be fur-free but don't have the patience to vacuum for a century. It has a clingy roller (no wasteful adhesive strips) that grabs hair and deposits it into a built-in compartment. You can tell Fido to stay off the couch all you want, but dogs don't speak Human! Instead, use this reusable roller to reclaim your seating. Or a Fur-Zoff pet hair remover that'll pull all the fur off your belongings. It turns out that white fur coat you own is actually a black denim jacket??? The stone is made from recycled materials and has a lifetime warranty. Promising review: "Holy cow, this is magic. I have a 230-pound Mastiff. I have purchased any and everything claiming to get dog hair off car carpet. I have used at least three different vacuums and attachments. Lately, I have been using a microfiber towel because it had some grip. Then, this piece of magic arrived. It gets every single hair, no matter how embedded. There were hairs I had a hard time removing with my fingers. The Fur-Zoff pulled them right out. This has cut my hair removal time in half! Thank you for this savior of a tool." —David it from Amazon for $13.99. An LED collar to keep your dog safe on night walks and to give yourself a free light show.

Remember to consult your vet before trying new review: "Absolutely the best product. It saved my itchy goldendoodle! We tried changing food, medicated shampoo, fish oil, everything you can imagine... nothing worked long-term. He was itching his face so badly he would make himself bleed. Had sores and scabs all over his face and neck. I bought these because they had good reviews and I was desperate. It changed his life! He no longer scratches AT ALL! His coat looks great and all of his sores are healed. He's the happiest he's been which makes me a very happy momma. He is also very picky and never eats treats... he eats these every time so that's an added bonus!" —Darcie NationGet them from Amazon for $24.97+ (available in three sizes and four flavors).

A plush, hollow log filled with three squeaker chipmunks that your pet can pull out and chomp away at. Seems like a great stress reliever! Grab extra squeaky toys review: "Charlie (the beagle) has been playing with his squirrel log non-stop since it arrived. We are pretty pleased, considering he usually destroys a new toy within 5-10 minutes. The only down side is that the little critters inside the log aren't very sturdy; he destroyed one in about 60 seconds when I looked away. I tried hiding other toys in the log, but he really prefers the included critters, to the point where he will dig around the old toys to get to one of the squirrels! He has chewed a small hole in the log as well, but as long as I keep putting the squirrels back in the log, they seem to keep his attention. We are already waiting for our first critter refill to arrive!" —AliGet it from Amazon for $22.10 (also available in a chicken bucket style). A bearded dragon harness with wings so your lizard can pretend to be a fire-breathing dragon. The nylon leash comes with a swivel link and buckle so your lil' beast can explore comfortably. Promising review: "It took some finesse to get it on him at first since he kept pulling his legs out but once I got it on, it worked like a charm.

Make sure you clean the window and suction cups before installing. To get them to use the perch, place their bed or favorite treats on it to lure them up. Read BuzzFeed's write-up on this cat review: "Great product for the price! Easy to install, holds my 5-pound kitten just fine! We installed it on the large window next to our glass French doors. We placed a small rug on it and she immediately took to it. She loves lounging on it, napping, and staring out at the distant cars or falling rain." —AnacletaGet it from Amazon for $19.97. A Thundershirt to provide your nervous pup a little calming pressure when loud noises are upsetting them. Consider it the comforting equivalent to a weighted blanket or nice, big hug. Promising review: "I rarely write reviews, but felt compelled to do so after seeing how effective this shirt has been on our dog. We have a 30-pound rescue who's about 6 years old. She's the sweetest girl, and very 'dog-like' with my husband and I. However, whenever there's company (regardless of how many times she's met them before), she freezes up, gets tense, and hides out in a comfortable area. Long story short, we thought we'd give the Thundershirt a try. I really didn't have any expectations considering her level of anxiety. We brought her to my aunt's house for Christmas where there were 17 people (many of which were kids under 9). She was a new dog. She was walking up to people, letting them pet her, and tail up the entire time. Everyone was commenting on how social she was, and how tolerant she was of the five kids who were completely smothering her with love! I will be using this for all future social gatherings. I don't want my dog feeling anxiety, and this shirt clearly brought her significant comfort." —laurenmickelsenGet it from Amazon for $44.95+ (available in XXS–2XL and three colors). An electric pet shaver that'll make trimming so easy, you'll feel like a professional dog groomer. Reviewers say it's quiet, so it won't spook them. Promising review: "These grooming clippers are amazing! I have a small yorkie who use to be a pound puppy and was always scared when she got groomed because of the sound. But after purchasing these clippers my dog is extremely calm. They are indeed quiet, not extremely loud like most pet clippers. Makes giving her a haircut very easy. Beautiful set and comes with everything included. When I ordered it, it was really fast delivery and I am extremely happy with this order. If ever we need this product in the future I would buy it again." —MinimalArtGet it from Amazon for $25.48+ (available in four colors). A wall-mounted play place with bridges and a ladder for your little explorer. It's modular, so you can tailor the design to your cat's liking. Sadly, you're not invited on this adventure. Promising review: "I was pleasantly surprised when I saw how well built this was! I initially had to use treats to get my cats to go up in it, now it's my oldest feline's favorite perch! He's 14 pounds and it holds him well! The brackets are spaced just right to fit into studs. It took two of us due to its size, but it only took us about five minutes total to install! My feline babies and I are very happy with this purchase!" —Kristi it from Amazon for $219 (available in three colors). A pack of plastic balls to make all your nostalgic ball pit dreams come true. This pack comes with enough for a small pet to have fun could also buy humans could an idea... A cleansing wrinkle cream that'll wipe away your squishy-faced dog's tear stains with ease. Pug, French bulldog, and English bulldog owners use it to clean up grime, block moisture, and reduce irritation. Promising review: "AMAZING!!! My baby has wrinkles on top of wrinkles. This product has saved him! He was rubbing his face so hard on things to scratch in between his wrinkles that his whole face would break out and get irritated and his tail pocket gets so yeasty, red, and irritated. I put this product in every little crevice he has. It is soooo amazing!! We don't ever travel without it! I will forever buy this product. Lifesaver!" —Heather ErinGet it from Amazon for $19.99.

In fact, if you are looking to laugh, please head straight to the review images of this little gizmo — pages and pages of kitty cats losing their marbles. It is goodness and absurdity and light. Promising review: "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 go crazy. He plays with this until he's panting like a dog and I have never seen him jump so high. I'm certain this toy will help him lose his belly. He loves it! I highly recommend it!" —KwooGet it from Amazon for $3.99. A wall suction that you can fill with peanut butter so your dog will have something to distract themselves with from the unimaginable horror of bath time. Freeze before use so it takes Fido longer to lick up all the peanut-y goodness. Promising review: "Tried this with our lab puppy when I needed to sweep and vacuum the floors. This kept her busy for a while so I could clean in peace! I filled it with peanut butter and placed it on the refrigerator door. She loves it! Also used this when we had company to keep her busy so she wouldn't be such a pest." —Amazon CustomerGet it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in two sizes and styles). A betta fish leaf hammock if you're worried your pet is stressed out; this will let your fishy (or froggy) friend can kick back and relax.

Lay a pad on an unwanted blemish, stomp, toss the pad, and admire your pee-free carpet. It also works for non-pet stains like ink, soda, coffee, and review: "Our poor older pup started having some incontinence issues and had several accidents in the house. I was really frustrated until I found these. They work amazingly well. They're small, so if the area was larger I had to use two or three, but they pulled up stains and saved the house from being smelly. I even used one on an older stain (that I'm pretty sure wasn't pet related) and it came up after leaving it on for about 24 hours. I make sure to keep a supply of these in the house at all times now." —MCGet a pack of 20 from Amazon for $24.99. A handy device that keeps track of whether or not the dog has been fed. Those hungry puppy dog eyes aren't fooling anyone now, Fido! Promising review: "Awesome product! There are four of us that were working together to feed the dogs. It simplified everything because I no longer have to text to see if anyone had fed them every morning. Now I just to see if it's green and if not, I feed them and indicate it. We all love it so much!" —Toni DeeganGet it from Amazon for $9.94 (also available in four other styles). A pet brush with thin, long teeth capable of getting to the undercoat. A good brushing means a silkier coat — and best of all, less shedding. Promising review: "Wowwww!! I thought we were getting a lot of fur off our mini Maine coon mix with our regular cat brush, but I had no idea how much we were missing until I bought this comb! Bella is visibly sleeker and happier after two good de-shedding combing sessions. The best part is that she LOVED it, which says a lot, because she typically will only allow a few swipes of the brush at a time. But with this comb, she even let me get her BELLY fur!!! For a cat who rarely likes being touched for more than 10 seconds, that is incredible! 5 out of 5 stars, telling everyone I know about this comb!!" —RebeccaGet it from Amazon for $14.97. An antibacterial pet toothpaste that freshens breath and removes plaque. I know, I know — brushing your cat or dog's teeth is a drag, but can you imagine not brushing your teeth for a week, let alone for your whole life? Fido is counting on you to keep their chompers shiny. A de-shedding shampoo from the fur-eliminating expert, Furminator. This Omega-3 and fatty acid-enriched formula reduces excess shedding, moisturizes, and promotes a healthy coat. It also has something called "Odorcapture 360 technology" (lol) that reviewers say helps eliminate wet dog stank. A moving bird toy complete with a catnip pouch to preoccupy your feline friend with their own version of Flappy Bird so they're not interrupting you.

A mini comb that'll detangle and gently remove any eye boogers getting in the way of your pet's gorgeous peepers. The comb does the hard work so you don't have to touch any gross goo with your bare hands. Promising review: "My cockapoo had tear staining as a pup but as an adult he just gets that goop in the corner of his inner eyes. Sometimes I don't catch the goop fast enough and it hardens in his muzzle. Even when I do, the goop is slimy and difficult to remove even with dog wipes. This tool is a miracle! Small, light weight and a good value for the price. Just one comb through and I got the sticky wet goop. A few more comb throughs and I found eye gunk that was buried in his muzzle. Most importantly, this comb removed the debris without causing any discomfort to my pooch. In fact, he seemed to enjoy it! Just look at the pictures." —JoannaGet it from Amazon for $2.55. A canine version of the TikTok-famous Kanoodle Puzzle so your pup can get some brain-stimulating fun, too. Unlike the human version, the goal is to get all the pieces *off* the board so they can reap their reward. A snout soother to help moisturize your dog's crusty nose. You hate chapped lips, so your dog definitely hates having a chapped nose. Promising review: "Well, I have never before been so shocked at the effectiveness of a product. Our 5-year-old Frenchie, Carol, had a nose that was so crusty it was sprouting these long strands of more crust. There was literally crust on crust on crust. The nose had strings of crust. This nose was so crusty and repulsive it was almost beautiful. Her nose might have resembled the rarest, most exotic geode to be mined from the rarest mine in Guatemala. A friend recommended Snout Soother for Carol's repulsive nose. I was worried she would just lick it all off and it wouldn't work. We never imagined she could have a regular, soft, moist nose again. Honestly this product is some black magic stuff! Unbelievable results in three to five days. No one paid me to write this." —BrittanyGet it from Amazon for $6.49. A convenient waterless pet shampoo so you can freshen up your pup in between actual baths. Nobody enjoys the bathing process, so you might as well push it back as far as possible. Just spray it on, towel it off, and enjoy your dog's new silky, lavender-scented coat. Or a Mighty Mutt hypoallergenic waterless shampoo that foams up, making it super easy to lather into dry fur. You can score a deeper clean and fresh scent without even taking out the hose. A swivel pooper scooper and rake set to make it easier on your back when cleaning up your yard.
