25 Products For Anyone Whose Dog Goes With Them Basically Everywhere

25 Products For Anyone Whose Dog Goes With Them Basically Everywhere

BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-07-04 15:05

1. A reviewer-beloved ChomChom roller because your friend's black couch is now covered in white fur, even though you swore your dog "doesn't shed." This roller doesn't use disposable sticky tape but instead collects fur with a brush and stores it in a chamber while you roll. Just empty all the hair collected and use it again and again! Stash it in the back of your car or backpack, and you'll always be prepared.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

The ChomChom has over 140,000 5-star ratings on Amazon, which goes to show just how many doggy parents adore it for cleaning their couches, pillows, and rugs. BTW, there's also a mini ChomChom roller that'll come in clutch when your lapdog leaves clumps of fur on your leggings during that hours-long road trip.

Promising review: "BUY IT!!!! You won't regret it!! If you have any pets, it is a life changer, seriously! It has saved me so much time and works like a charm! What used to take me forever to vacuum hair off of patio furniture and my couches and then use sticky rollers, now takes just a few minutes! My mother-in-law is even more of a clean freak than I am and very particular about how she cleans. I bought her one as well, not knowing if she would use it or not. She called me and just raved on and on about how much she loves it!" —M.R.

Get it from Amazon for $24.99 (available in three colors). 

2. A portable dog water bottle destined to quench your dog's extreme thirst after a long outing — because we can all hear the never-ending sound of panting now. Press the button to fill the bowl with water, and when your furry friend is finished, just press it again to save any water they didn't drink. Thanks to the secure lock latch, there won't be any leakage in your bag — so it's perfect for on-the-go adventures! 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

You may have seen this popular product on TikTok (or in the hands of one of its 32,000 5-star reviewers) — but just a heads up, some reviewers mention the button broke off, so be careful throwing it around! And if your pup's a touch high maintenance, there's also an insulated stainless-steel option that'll keep their water colder for longer.

Promising review: "This has to be the best money I’ve spent on a dog product. I have three different-sized dogs, and it worked like a charm for each one of them. I can control the amount of water that flows into the cup; it’s so much neater than using a bowl in the car, and there was absolutely no leakage from the container itself at all! The only thing I would do differently is find one that holds more water! I will probably just buy another one!" —Lisa A

Get it from Amazon for $16.99 (available in four colors and three sizes).

3. A Roverlund pet carrier, a must-have when air travel is required but your furry friend is a nonnegotiable plus one. No need to stress over the confusing and inconsistent airline bag size guidelines, because this is airline-compliant for dogs up to 20 pounds. And when you finally touch down and your pup needs to stretch their legs, the shoulder strap turns into a leash — that's one less thing to remember to pack!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

This carrier also has a leak-resistant bottom, so don't worry if any accidents happen along the way! 

Roverlund is a small business focused on creating design-forward gear for pets and their people.

Promising review: "I was hesitant getting this carrier because although it was rated very well and I loved the style, it just seemed too expensive. However, I decided to go for it for my new Chihuahua puppy. It was exactly what I was looking for. It’s great for transport and will definitely fit under any airline seat. The inside has a pad that is washable. So you can take the pad out and then unzip it to wash it if needed. I really love that it has both shoulder straps and a longer strap if you want to do a crossbody." —Ken

Get it from Amazon for $174.99 (available in four colors).

4. A waterproof car seat cover to protect your backseat when your dog starts trying to dig a hole in it during that long road trip (dogs can be hard, man). It turns into a hammock by attaching the included straps to the front seats' headrests, which will also protect your pup from sliding during any harsh stops (as you fume over other people not knowing how to drive in traffic). Hold on, Sally! The cover is compatible with most car types and (best of all) easy to clean — just use a damp cloth or vacuum.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This dog seat cover is a lifesaver! It fits perfectly, protects my car from mud and scratches, and the side flaps are great for keeping the doors clean too. It stays in place thanks to the nonslip backing, and there’s no weird smell like some others. Super easy to install and clean—just wipe it down or vacuum. My dog loves it, and so do I!" —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in seven colors, a version with a hard bottom, a style with a mesh window, and two sizes). 

5. Wet Ones antibacterial paw cleaner, because they always seem to be getting into something, like prancing in the singular patch of mud during a mountain getaway. Its built-in scrubber brush is so convenient for cleaning your pup's paws, along with a pump of the germ-killing (and tropical-scented, ooh la la) foam cleaner. You'll want to whip this out after taking your dog to the big city, because you don't trust what they've just walked through on that sidewalk (for good reason). 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Wet Ones also makes multi-purpose dog wipes, which are great for wiping away any mess on their paws or coats!

Promising review: "I've repurchased this like five times already and will continue to do so! It does a great job cleaning my dog's paws after our walks in the city and works really well. I go through a bottle of this every month. Works really well with the wipes as well!" —Marwa

Get it from Amazon for $6.24.

6. Or a genius portable paw scrubber if your dog tends to bring chaos (and messiness) wherever they go — sometimes leading you to question why you have to bring them with you everywhere. Simply add water, gently insert your dog's paw, and twist to scrub, letting the gentle silicone bristles do their thing. This is a great option to reach for when your pup's entire bottom leg is dirty, not just their paws.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This is the best invention for cleaning muddy paws! My dogs come in the house with muddy paws after it rains and before I know it, there’s mud all over the floors. This Mudbuster does the job. Just put their paws in it, give it a swish, and towel dry. I highly recommend!" —Bonnyjean

Get it from Amazon for $24.50 (available in eight colors and three sizes). 

7. A waterproof dog blanket for that hotel room that wasn't *explicitly* labeled as dog friendly (don't worry, we won't tell) or even a quick trip to your cousin's house because you're a considerate person who would never leave someone else's furniture coated in fur. Just let your dog lounge on this soft, reversible blankie, and no one will even know they were here, even if they shed or have an accident — you can always pop it in the washing machine afterward.

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "We have two of these. We love to use them in kennels and to throw over furniture. They are easy to wash and prevent mud/hair from getting on furniture/rugs, etc, when visiting friends and family. Our puppy loves to curl up with them at night." —BLA

"Wow! These blankets are super absorbent! Our fur baby had a brain tumor from birth and couldn't control his bladder. We purchased two ivory furry blankets to lay onto the couch and bed. He knew they were his special blankets and nestled into them daily. These blankets withheld puddles of urine, feces, and vomit. We tossed them in the washer and dryer, and they're as good as new." —Gracehopelove12 

Get it from Amazon for $19.58+ (available in eight colors and sizes S–XXL). 

8. A pack of waterproof booties here to protect your pup's perfect little toe beans — especially during the summer when the pavement is waaay too hot. They have a hook and loop attachment that makes them easy to slide on and off before any rocky hikes, plus rubber soles to prevent any slippage. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Awesome booties. These babies stay on. She runs, jumps and does everything she normally does, except she can't scratch if needed. (Just gonna have to wait, that's all.) We live in the northwest 'burbs of Chicago and walk a couple of miles a day. Our neighborhood has no sidewalks. When it sleets or snows, road salt is an issue. As most dogs do, she likes to off-road it, so it's in the snow, on the street, repeat. These keep her paws from getting packed up with snow and salt. Initially, it's kind of a hassle getting them on, but it gets easier. If you buy them, put them on your dog in the house and let them figure it out. And strap 'em down good." —earshplitten

Get it from Amazon for $28.99 (available in seven colors and eight sizes). 

9. A doggy life jacket for your fluffy friend who fully embodies the title of "water dog." If you find yourself picking vacation spots based on getting your puppy in some water, then you'll love this adorable (and perhaps *frightening*) shark fin vest. I can literally hear the Jaws music now...watch out for that swimming purple people eater!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My dog turned a lot of heads in her new shark life jacket! She got so many compliments! Seems like a good product too — fits true to size chart and easy to walk her in it like a harness. Very secure — didn’t have to worry about it coming off. She seemed relatively comfortable in it too. Highly recommend! I wish it came in more colors! —Samantha

Get it from Amazon for $15.39+ (available in sizes XS–XL and 13 colors/prints). 

10. A three-wheel pet stroller that might have bystanders asking, "Is that your baby?" Why yes, it most certainly is. Now you can let your puppy snooze blissfully or give your arthritic senior dog a break from being on their feet as you enjoy your daily hot girl walk. This stroller even has two cup holders so you can stash your tumbler during a secret little wine walk, and a storage compartment in case you want to take a blanket and lounge in the park. 

www.amazon.com

It's made with waterproof and breathable fabric so you can bring your pet anywhere — the front wheels even swivel 360 degrees to help with navigating terrain!

Promising review: "Purchased this for my small pug who has trouble keeping up with my larger dog on walks. She loves cruising along! The basket on the bottom is handy for both her and my things. It has the option of zipping up the front so she is enclosed and kept safe from bugs and such, but also unfolds with an adjustable canopy. It's basically a pet bed on wheels. The zipper is definitely a little more flimsy, but we didn't have any trouble. Will stay gentle with it and hope it lasts. I was going to buy a more expensive stroller, but I'm glad I decided on this one. It's absolutely perfect for casual walks through the neighborhood or down the street. If you're planning on a rougher terrain, I wouldn't suggest this, as we had a rough time pushing it through any sandy/dirt areas. Assembly was simple; just attach the wheels and tray. Directions were clear. All in all, 5 stars! It's great for what we needed it for." —Shopperb

Get it from Amazon for $29.99+ (available in five colors).

11. A faux-fur dog bed so your buddy can have a little piece of home when traveling — the same way you always bring your pillow, even though there's never been a hotel pillow shortage. This ultra-soft donut bed helps support your fur babe's head and neck as they doze, and it's so cozy, you might even be tempted to curl up in it after an exhausting travel day...been there, absolutely done that. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My dog hates dog beds, this bed has been a game changer! She absolutely loves it. It’s small, so I can take it with us when we travel and move it easily from room to room. It helps calm her, and it’s so cozy. 100% recommend!" —Leland

Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in five colors and three styles). 

12. An adorable, bone-shaped refillable poop bag holder so you're never stuck being "that person who doesn't clean up after their dog" when you end up taking your fluffy best friend somewhere you didn't expect to (again). Attach it to your pup's collar or leash with the included carabiner, and you'll always have poop bags with you!

www.amazon.com

It comes with one roll of scented poop bags — if you want to snag more while you're at it, these lavender-scented poop bags are highly rated, easy to tear, and super durable!

Promising review: "I've probably bought 10 poop bag holders, and most of them snap off after a short amount of time due to the cheap plastic that holds them together. But these are the best quality I’ve ever found! The clip has a metal protector around it that makes it impossible to fall off your leash. Highly recommend if you are like me and you can’t stand buying another cheap plastic poop bag holder." —Nicole

Get the holder with a pack of 15 bags from Amazon for $7.99 (available in eight colors).

13. A Kurgo seatbelt tether if your pup is constantly jumping on the center console to be closer to you or sticking a little too much of their body out the window. Believe it or not, this may actually be safer than the automatic mom arm across the passenger seat! Simply clip the carabiner to your dog's harness, fasten the metal clip into the car's buckle, and you're ready to hit the road.

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this for my dog who loves to wander about the car during our drives. It securely buckled into my Jeep Wrangler seat and gave my dog the ability to safely 'roam' a decent distance in the backseat. She was able to put her nose out the side of the back (as she loves) and go from one side to the other side of the car. She was not able to climb onto me or into the front freely, which was what I needed. There was also no concern that she would be able to somehow reach over the side of the car (or god forbid try to jump off the side of the car) and hurt herself. The carabiner fastened the belt to her harness easily and securely. Would highly recommend!" —Bootsin

Get it from Amazon for $10.99 (available in three colors and four styles). 

14. A dog purse carrier pretty much designed specifically for your small dog who's never heard the phrase, "No, you can't come." Clip the included leash to their collar, and you won't have to worry about your pup jumping out of the bag when they see a stray squirrel or unattended hamburger. You can also leave your own purse behind and slip your phone, keys, and other essentials into the five convenient pockets!

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

If you need to keep your dog completely tucked away because they might not be totally welcome somewhere, just zip up the breathable top and they'll be comfortable and out of sight.

Promising review: "I have a little 4-pound papillon dog, and I'm taking him everywhere in this bag. He feels safe inside, able to see everything, and it's quite comfortable to carry and lightweight. Also, I found the pockets are very useful; they fit my car key, wallet, and phone. Soft and easy to clean. I washed it on a delicate mode in my washing machine, and it came out great, good as new." —Valerie

Get it from Amazon for $42.99 (available in six styles, including a sling version, and five sizes). 

15. A collapsible bowl in case date night just isn't complete without your furry friend and they need a little refreshment of their own at the restaurant. When not in use, it's thin enough to store in any bag, and you can even clip it onto your leash so you never forget it on long walks when your pup loves a gulp of water every 15 feet.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I absolutely love these two-piece collapsible doggy bowls! They're super convenient and easy to carry around — especially with the attached clip that lets me hook them right onto my leash or backpack. The material feels durable and sturdy, not cheap or flimsy like others I’ve tried. They pop open easily and collapse flat for storage, which makes them perfect for walks, road trips, or park days. My dog loves having his water and snack breaks in them. Definitely a must-have for pet owners on the go!" —Karina

Get it from Amazon for $4.99+ (available in four sizes and 15 two-packs with various color combos). 

16. An interactive snuffle ball that'll keep your dog preoccupied while you head out on that scenic bike tour or fancy dinner reservation. Just place some kibble or treats into the fabric, roll them up, and watch as your pup locks in, trying to figure out how to pull the cloth out for their yummy little reward. All that sniffing stimulation may finally wear them out so you can ~sneak away~ during their nap time. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought this snuffle ball for my 14-week-old Chinese Crested puppy, and he loves it! He figured out traditional snuffle mats pretty quickly (started flipping them to release all the food), so this ball provided a more engaging challenge. It does take a little trial and error to evenly distribute the food/treats in each strip and then tuck them back in properly, but that’s just part of the learning curve. Once prepped, it keeps him entertained and focused — and best of all, it helps tire him out. If you’re living with a teething, zoomie-prone puppy (aka a 'puppy shark'), you know that a tired pup is a good pup! Highly recommend this for mental stimulation and a bit of peace and quiet." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $13.49+ (available in six colors).

17. A pack of pee pads perfect for protecting the rental's carpet when you REALLY don't want to pay the cleaning fee — these leakproof, quick-drying pads turn any liquid into gel on contact for super easy disposal. Whip these bad boys out when your little princess is taking some time adjusting to your rainy vacation spot and doesn't want to get their fur wet, or if you're not 100% positive that potty training will stick while visiting your parents to show them their new (fluffy) grandchild. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

Promising review: "We took on car trips, plane trips, and visiting houses. Toss down in a parking lot, in an airport bathroom stall, on a neighbor's porch...dog goes and you fold and toss. We use the washable pads in the garage at home. The dog has her own laundry basket for them. With all pads, it does seem like the potty gets on the dog's back feet a bit — the paper ones more than the material ones." —D. E. L.

Get a pack of 100 from Amazon for $17.79 (available in three sizes, pack options ranging from 25–150 pads, and a heavy-duty style).

18. OraVet dental hygiene treats to trick your dogs into cleaning their teeth, because you know when you arrive at your friend's house, they'll be licking everything (and everyone) in sight. These poultry-flavored treats will be gobbled up in seconds, sparing everyone from smelly, wet puppy kisses. They're also vet-recommended and can help remove plaque and tartar buildup on their ~teef~ to improve your furry friend's oral health. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

These one-a-day chews are made for small dogs weighing 10–24 pounds. They also make chews for even smaller dogs weighing 3.5–9 pounds, medium dogs weighing 25–50 pounds, and large dogs over 50 pounds.

Promising reviews: "We tried soooo many other brands and were not finding anything that did the job. These were recommended by our vet, and our dog looks forward to this treat every day! Definitely makes a huge difference in keeping her teeth clean and breath fresh. Highly recommend." —Erica

"My dog loves these treats and it helps her breath a lot. She used to have what I call 'Dracula breath,' but it's way better now. (In the novel Dracula, he is described as having the breath of rotting meat.)" —Stephen

Get a pack of 30 chews from Amazon for $35.19 (also available in a pack of 14).

19. Some allergy relief chews in case your pup's seasonal allergies hit extra hard on vacation, leaving them with itchy ears, paws, or skin. Quit saying "Bless you" to your dog! These are packed with ingredients that can help support their immune system and gut health, and they come in tasty flavors like peanut butter and smoked cheese so they won't spit it out (like every other pill you try to give them). Depending on your dog's size, give them a couple of these "treats" daily!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I just received this product two days ago and I am so impressed! My 2-year-old dog was licking his paws to where they were bright red, and only two days later, they are barely light pink! In only two days! We have tried other brands that did not work at all, including expensive prescription meds. I rarely go on about a product, but this one is one that I will always use, as it works incredibly! Paco is so much more active and happy, as he is not struggling anymore!" —Amy, Ia.

Get a pack of 90 from Amazon for $32.97 (available in four flavors; also available in packs of 50 and 250). 

20. A 360-degree rotating electric car fan that'll keep your dog cool when you have to quickly pop into a store and leave them in the vehicle for a bit. We know you probably cracked the window, but this will really ensure they stay comfortable! It's also great if your pup loves to stick their head out the window or easily overheats — now they'll have their own private air-blowing experience for the entire road trip.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "We take a lot of trips to the desert with our three pups, and when we first get in the car to come home, we have three very hot pups. Today we installed this fan (we got the one that plugs into the cigarette lighter), and wow, it is just perfect. The pups absolutely love the air blowing directly on them from the fan in addition to the air conditioner vent. One of the pups has car sickness every time we go somewhere and drools excessively, but today, with the fan blowing on her, she was just fine. All three dogs slept for the 1.5-hour drive and were quite comfortable. I like how easy the fan was to connect to the headrest, how adjustable the fans are, good air movement, and very quiet (especially compared to the air conditioning vents). I felt the cost was reasonable and would purchase again." —Linda P

Get it from Amazon for $29.99 (available powered by USB or cigarette lighter).

21. A reflective coyote deterrent dog vest that can protect your dog when traveling to more secluded areas and comes with the added feature of making them look like a total badass. It's lightweight, comfortable, and made with super tough fabric that can withstand sharp teeth, offering peace of mind while you're on that rugged hike together (we get it, you travel AND work out). Be gone, Wile E. Coyote!

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bad to the bone! My tiny dog looks so tough and spikey! The spike vest is great. It seems durable and definitely would help fend off a coyote until I was able to intervene. Definitely helped me feel more confident hiking with my little guy." —Dog Eat Dog

Get it from Amazon for $109.95+ (available in seven colors and sizes XXS–L). 

22. An ice bandana designed to resist heat and actively cool down your pup when you want to drag your lil' couch potato to the beach or on a slightly longer walk than usual. Just dip the bandana in water, wring out the excess, and let it chill in the freezer for 10 minutes. After that, it'll be ready to keep your fur ball cool, even if you decide to take the whole fam to a desert destination in July.

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "I just moved to Florida with my American Bully, and she had a tough time playing or walking for very long due to the heat. I purchased this and she LOVES IT. She actually wears it all the time now since we keep the air conditioning at a higher temp than before we moved. She can play longer, walk longer, and is more comfortable at home. I didn’t know if it would have an effect at all but am pleasantly surprised. Definitely recommend for anyone with a short-haired dog living in the heat; not sure it would do anything for a long-haired dog." —Isaiah

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in sizes S–XL). 

23. A cult-fave ThunderShirt that will always calm my *extremely* anxious dog down when we're traveling to an unfamiliar place. This anxiety relief vest wraps around your dog's torso and neck to apply gentle, comforting pressure — just like you're always hugging them! You can even throw it on when you have to leave them behind to keep them super calm.

www.amazon.com

The brand also sells a pheromone calming spray to help curb anxiety while traveling — just spray into your car, in their kennel, or directly onto their ThunderShirt's designated patch (*don't* spray it directly on your dog). The spray mimics natural pheromones released by nursing moms to help your pup stay calmer.

Promising review: "My German Shepherd HATES thunderstorms. He would keep us up all night barking his head off whenever a storm came through until we got him a Thundershirt. I'm almost pissed off that this works so well because it was expensive for a piece of fabric and Velcro, but it was worth every penny. Our dog doesn't even get annoyed putting this on anymore because he's instantly soothed by it. While we still get the occasional bark whenever a big thunder comes through, this has substantially decreased the barking. We use it during firework holidays with similar success." —Holly

Get it from Amazon for $33+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL). 

24. Some K-9 sunscreen, because yup, your dog needs protection from painful burns on their noses and ears on that beach vacay just like you do. This sunscreen is easy to spray onto your dog and nontoxic in case they accidentally get a lick. It offers SPF 30+ and holds strong against sweat — so you can let them run around in the sand and chase waves to their heart's content while you crack open a new beach read.

www.amazon.com, Amazon

It's great to use on all pups, but especially on dogs with white or thin coats and light-pigmented noses and eyelids. You can read more about why dogs need sunscreen at the American Kennel Club.

Epi-Pet is a small business focusing on veterinarian-developed pet products. Their dog sunscreen is the only one on the market that's FDA-approved, meaning its SPF 30+ rating has been tested and verified. You can find more deets on that here

Promising review: "Got this for my husky; he has a pink nose and some of his skin is exposed on the top area. Before using this, his skin would get sunburned! I bought this and had my vet review it. She said it looks safe, so I used it on my dog's nose each time we go out hiking during the day, and it prevents his nose from getting sun damage. His nose doesn't even turn a different shade after using this. The con, though: It smells like vanilla. Why does that matter for a dog? Anyway, I spritz it on my hand, then rub it on the nose and it works well." —Andi

Get it from Amazon for $17.95 (also available in packs).

25. And finally, a Furbo dog camera for when your sweet little angel ball of perfection has to be left behind (because you can't keep putting off that dentist appointment forever). This 360-degree rotating camera has two-way audio in case you need to let your dog know how much you're missing them, and it even has a treat-tossing feature to reward them for being so good while you're away! You know, maybe it's really you with separation anxiety. 

www.amazon.com

Note: This particular Furbo model doesn't require you to purchase a subscription; for that reason, it has a higher price upfront than the other model. With this option, you still get a 360-degree view of your pet, two-way audio, and the ability to throw treats — but alerts will be limited to only when your dog is barking.

The cheaper Furbo model requires you to opt in to a three-month minimum Furbo Nanny subscription, which starts at $5.38 a month. The subscription unlocks additional features, including real-time alerts for any dog activity (like continuous barking, howling, or crying), human activity, smoke alarms, glass breaking, and much more. You can pick whichever option is best for your family!

Promising review: "I recently purchased Furbo to replace my other pet cameras, and I'm so glad that I did. The quality is amazing. It gives me ease of mind knowing that I can check in on my dog anytime. The motion detection is awesome! I get alerts when my dog is lying on the couch, getting active, barking, and it even has person detection. Oh, and it even has a treat dispenser! The functionality is just what I was looking for. Just plug it in and follow the setup instructions, which takes no time. I love the zoom feature because sometimes my dog chews on things I can't make out." –Maria Martinez

Get it from Amazon for $169.
