I am a contributor and former BuzzFeed Shopping editor who loves finding new problem-solving products, zero-waste swaps, and home organization hacks.

1. A 4-in-1 airline-approved pet carrier for every type of adventure you and your furry bestie could possibly imagine, from car rides and hiking to cross-country flights. Why buy many when you could get one that does it all?

PetAmi

Promising review: "I have bought two other brands, and this is the best one so far. Roomy and comfy for my dog. Fits well for me. I travel cross-country in my trailer and can’t leave my pup inside, so this works for when I need to shop." —Orchid

Price:$39.99 (available in five colors)

2. A Litter Genie because tiny spaces are easily stunk up by your kitty's business. Much like a diaper genie (actually, exactly like that), this disposal system is tiny enough to tuck away in a closet and is as easy to use as dumping in your kitty's clumps and pulling the handle to trap the scent. 

Javier / Chewy

Promising review: "So I was using old grocery bags and scooping litter into those, then taking it outside to the garbage bin. Well, that was annoying and only sort of convenient. My Genie arrived today, and I waited to clean the boxes ’til it got here. Works great! Each box filled the top half once, and it was super easy to use and assemble! I will say the bottom half doesn't really clip into the top all that well, but it's good enough. I love it! Sooo happy I purchased this! Now I'm in love with every aspect of my litter situation. I also use Frisco Odor Defense litter, it is also wonderful!" —sherroberts

Price: $25.90 (originally $29.99)

3. A Furminator brush with a stainless-steel edge to dig through your dog's topcoat and grab loose hairs and undercoat. Plus, it's self-cleaning thanks to the handy ejector button. 

Lauren / Chewy, LucyP3820 / Chewy

Promising review: "This just arrived in the mail, and oh my goodness, we are in LOVE! My pup is a mutt, mostly German shepherd, Australian shepherd, and husky, so you can imagine the hair on this one! I started brushing and I was absolutely AMAZED at the amount that came off, and how easy it was! Seriously, so easy, and he loved it SO much. It must have felt so good! He has an undercoat, and his fur is super shiny and soft. I was worried that it might pull and tug his hair, or not get all the way to the undercoat, and I was wrong! This doesn't pull or scratch, but it gets the job done! I absolutely recommend it to anyone, even if you don't think your dog sheds! Much easier than all of the other brushes I've used as well. I was not happy about the price tag, but the very first use paid for itself!" —Lauren

Price: $31.87+ (originally $37.49+, available in three sizes and three colors)

4. An eight-panel gate and playpen with a self-closing gate that can be wall-mounted or free-standing, so it adjusts to any space. It's even made of durable steel, so even the gnarliest gnawers won't bite their way through.

Chewy, bethj / Chewy

Promising review: "I'm about to be a first-time fur dad, and this gate was a heaven-sent for my puppy-proofing extravaganza. My anxiety about creating a confined space alleviated the moment I started reading the instructions. Attention to detail is A+++. The gate itself is extremely easy to set up and customize. It's metal, so no need to worry about chewing accidents. I needed one permanent gate with a door for the kitchen area and one flexible one to block the entrance while I'm out. Not only did I reach my goal, but I also ended up with one extra panel and used that to block the electric plugs and cables behind the TV. The door itself is also designed pretty smartly. Swing direction can be customized. It stays fully open if it's been pushed back, and it closes on its own otherwise. There are two notches at the bottom of the door that are useful when you don't want to fully lock the door but still want to close it. It's a well-thought-out, beautifully constructed product. You can feel the love, and it's for sure was designed by dog lovers." —hazzybear 

Price:$79.99 (available in three colors)

5. An automatic chase ball if you simply need a moment of peace from your cat with seemingly boundless energy. This toy offers three different motion-activated modes, including "interactive," which runs for 5 minutes before entering standby, then reactivates every hour with the touch of a paw. Go all out with the LED lights, or keep it low-key. Your call! 

roland / Chewy, Gareck / Chewy

Promising review: "I LOVE this toy. My cat LOVES this toy. It keeps him distracted until it gets stuck under something, haha. I put him in the other room when I’m on work calls, and he plays. I do wish the battery lasted a little longer, but it’s amazing that it’s rechargeable. I’m buying another one so that there is always one with a battery ready for him to play with!" —roland

Price: $24.99 (available in two colors)

6. A smallstep-in harness so you can break up with complicated harnesses and get one that just makes sense. Step in, buckle up, and get those walkies underway in a lightweight mesh that's perfect for any weather. 

Catherine / Chewy, DawnC / Chewy

I've used this harness with my Chi-mix dog for the last nearly four years, and honestly, it looks the same as the day I got it. Sturdy and effective! No complaints. 

Promising review: "First off, anything I've ever bought from Chewy has always been beautifully put together for my dogs. The Voyager Step-in Harness, I bought for my puppy, Pita...He's already close to outgrowing it, and I'll end up right back at Chewy for the next growth phase. I leave it on him from the moment I first walk in the morning ’til the last walk I take with my dogs at night; it stays on him all day with no irritation, then it's off ’til the next morning. Easy to put on, strong Velcro and buckle, it's breathable, and easy to put on him...I purchased the blue one for him, and I just bought the red one and a leash for my friends who just got a new puppy! They love it also. All of my supplies for my older dog, Clancy, and the puppy come from Chewy, from food to toys to pee pads. Love you, this company, and product!" —Bear

Price: $14.99 (available in seven sizes and 20 colors)

7. A stainless-steel automatic water dispenser for cats or dogs that's shockingly quiet with a spacious water tank. Lots of pets (especially cats) prefer a moving water source, so this might also encourage them to please hydrate for once. 

Amy / Chewy

Promising review: "Perfect for daily water for two small dogs, and was super easy to clean and fill!" —Anissa 

Price: $29.99 (originally $35.99) 

8. An indoor/outdoorDoggie Lawn if you spend long hours out of the house fretting if Fido will have an accident or soak through their disposable pee pads. With this customizable subscription service, your dog will always have access to an indoor potty option that, because it's real grass, neutralizes odors better than any pad or fake lawn ever could.

Benny / Chewy

I've never ordered my DoggieLawn from Chewy (and the packaging does look different), but I've had great success with it as an apartment-dwelling pet parent working in the office many days a week. Learn more in my full indoor grass potty lawn review. 

Promising review: "Living in a four-floor walk-up with an elderly dog who needs to potty often is quite difficult for everyone. We bought two grass pads and placed them on our small terrace. Now she can potty on clean fresh grass without the hassle of the stairs and crowded sidewalks." —Crystal

Price: $38.95+ (available in two sizes)

9. A dual-sided pet hair carpet rake for when the vacuum isn't enough (and it almost never is). Get ready for a whole new level of danderless clean, and probably the most satisfying chore on your list. 

MeMelissa / Chewy

Promising review: "I was blown away by this. I didn’t have much hope for it, but wow!!! It picks up so much with very little effort. It’s crazy how much a vacuum can miss. I sent a video of me using it to a couple of friends, and they bought it after seeing it! Would most definitely recommend, especially if you have carpet anywhere in your home!"  —Megan

Price: $25.16

10. And a mini hair remover because their omnipresent fur is in every fiber of clothing, furniture, and pillows, too. Reviewers say it's better than lint rollers and endlessly reusable! 

Chewy

Promising review: "How quickly and efficiently it worked. I have three dogs and a calico cat who are all shedding their winter coats. I have covers on all the furniture, but everything in my den had a coat of white hair. My long-time housekeeper had used one at another customer's house, who also had lots of pets. She said they were much better than the tape rollers, and she was so right!" —Byron

Price: $15.99

11. A litter-trapping mat to prevent your perfect baby angel from tracking litter absolutely everywhere. The dual-layered design traps litter, with openings on either end to easily dispose of it later. 

Chewy

Promising review: "Is it perfect? No. Is it by far the best litter mat I've ever used? Yes. After 11 years with my cat, I've given up on the cute little mats that are aesthetically pleasing. This is simple and FUNCTIONAL, and it keeps most of the litter off our floors despite my cat's best efforts. Added bonus — it's super easy to clean. 10/10." —coco

Price: $16.99

12. A lavender-scented de-skunking shampoo that's one of those things you'll feel like a genius for stocking up on before disaster strikes. The sooner you act, the better this gentle formula works to neutralize tough skunk odors fast.

Chewy

Promising review: "My stinky dogs decided to chase a skunk in the yard in the middle of the night, in a rainstorm. The smell of a soaking wet skunk dog was so putrid that I literally vomited! So comes Nature’s Miracle to the rescue. Really took the last of the skunk smell off their faces, so I can finally kiss their little noses again. I recommend!" —Carlene 

Price: $11.77 (originally $13.99)

13. A supremely cute hide-and-seek raccoon toy for a playbox addition you'll love looking at, and they'll love playing with. Three squaky plush raccoons that all fit in the included trash can create loads of playtime options, whether they want to fetch, find, or destroy! 

Diana / Chewy, Michy / Chewy

Promising review: "I have been searching for toys by 40-pound Mini Bernadoodle would not destroy in five minutes. She’s had this for THREE WEEKS and it’s still holding up." —Kelly 

Price: $14.99

14. A naturalpaw balm made from a moisturizing blend of 100% pure natural waxes, this nontoxic formula protects paw pads from adverse conditions, whether it's ice, sand, or snow. 

Sharon / Chewy, Lizzy / Chewy

Promising review: "We live in a condominium complex that hires snow plowers to do our parking lots and sidewalks. Unfortunately, they salted everything heavily once the initial plowing was finished. Every dog we've had in the 28 years we've lived here starts out their walks so frisky and happy, and five minutes into it, they're lifting paws and stopping due to the salt, which super-cools the ice, and consequently their poor little paws. One of my friends found this product and used it every winter with her dog, and always said how effective it was. So I thought I would buy a tin and try it. Yup! It's like magic! I work a small amount on each pad and in between her toes, and we're good to go! It's a reasonably priced product, and I highly recommend trying it!" —Mary

Price: $12.99+(originally $16.99+, available in three sizes)

15. A ceramic reptile heat emitter so your lizard can get all the heat it needs to stay regulated, without the searing bright light element that's doing its best to keep you up at night. 

Chewy, CevicheBellysMommy / Chewy

Promising review: "This has changed everything for my bearded dragon. He's a much happier, healthier lizard. The climate is so important for these little guys, and my other bulbs just weren't doing the job. But this does. Very pleased." —PeytonGannon

Price: $14.12+ (available in three sizes)

16. A dental water additive, because your dog won't let you get within a foot of their mouth with a toothbrush in hand. Add this to their water for sneaky oral-hygiene benefits, reduced plaque buildup, and a swoon-inducing smile.

Ellen / Chewy, Chewy

Promising review: "Great dental report from vet for my 9-year-old dog. Her teeth look very clean. During her last checkup, they discussed dental cleaning due to her plaque and tartar. This made a huge difference." —Pilar

Price: $10.99+(available in three sizes)

17. An easy-to-install window hammock for a tool-free way (just use the included suction cups on a window) to gift your very own Princess Donut with the perfect perch from which to scout her neighborhood enemies. 

Chewy

Promising reviews: "Kitty approved. OMG! I was really skeptical about a perch that only sticks to the window, but I didn’t want to drill anything into the window frame or the walls. For $20, I figured we’d try it out. Well, they are so great we have four!! They love these; they hold him very well (he’s about 14 pounds and long). Dude chills in the windows all day watching the birds, rabbits, and squirrels. I did follow the directions to a T! Haven’t had any issues at all." —Donna

Price: $27.67 (originally $44.99)

18. A reusable ChomChom lint roller if relentless shedding is taking over your home and you're tired of spending money on disposable lint rollers. This uses bristles, not sticky tape, to catch lint so you can clean and reuse it over and over and over again.

Chewy

Promising review: "This is THE best tool to remove pet hair from my couch upholstery, bed quilt, carpeted stairs, etc. It does everything my vacuum can't and does it effectively and efficiently. I'm getting a second one to keep upstairs, for fear I'll wear just the one out. Excellent purchase! Love it!!" —Inga

Price: $24.99 (originally $31.95; available in black and white). 

19. A package of presoaked tear stain wipes, since something must be done about all these eye goopies!!! Especially vital for dogs with white or lighter coats, this 90-pack helps remove build-up without irritation. 

Angel / Chewy

Promising review: "I'm very impressed with these pads. A dog who was staying with me for a few weeks arrived with very matted, crusty eyes. I ordered and received the eye pads, used them 2x daily, and they cleared up! She loved it!" —Angel

Price: $10.49 (originally $12.99)

20. An Arm & Hammer litter deodorizer to fight the stank with just a little shimmy shake across your litter box. It's moisture activated, refreshing each time your cat pays the potty a visit. 

Chewy, Carmela / Chewy

Promising review: "People frequently comment on how they can’t smell my cat’s litter box despite being in my room and open air. I’m telling you, it’s all because of this. Used as directed, your stinky litter days will be gone." —Lauren

Price: $4.59 (originally $5.99; also available in a two-pack)

21. Ametal litter scoop, because plastic is not always fantastic, especially if you use corn or clay-based litters that are too heavy for wimpy plastic scoops. 

Sierra / Chewy

Promising review: "I’ve tried many litter boxes and scoopers of all sizes, but this one is by far my favorite. I won’t use anything else! (Definitely getting another for backup!) The scoop is much larger than others I’ve used, and the litter falls through easily with a quick shake, making cleanup super fast. Since switching to this scooper, along with the right litter boxes and carpets, cleaning up after my cats has become effortless. I used to dread it, but now it’s a breeze!" —Jamie

Price: $3.95+ (originally $14.99; available in two colors)

22. A bag of Milk-Bone Pill Pouches is like the secret key to unlocking stress-free medication administration for your dog. 

Chewy, Nikki0 / Chewy

Promising review: "My pittie takes four pills a day. He hated the Greenies Pill Pockets, and I've tried sooo many other ways until I gave up and bought a mini fridge to keep lunch meats for his twice-daily meds. Then I saw these and figured, why not try? OH MY GOSH! He absolutely LOVE, LOVE, LOVES these treats. So much so that he can watch me put his meds inside them before he eats them; I have both chicken and bacon flavors. I am so grateful for this fast, easy, and large treat that I can easily put two allergy pills in one and two medications in the other. The treats are very pliable to squeeze around the pills so if I toss it in the air and he misses (rare) I do not worry about the medications getting out. I buy both flavors each month, giving me 50 treats. So at the end of the month, when I am Houdini and making everything fit, it has yet to be a problem because again, they're big enough. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!" —Nikki0

Price: $6.49 (available in two flavors)

23. A 3-in1 pet bath attachment for when your eyes nearly pop out of your head from the groomer's bill. This do-it-all set has a 10-foot coil hose and works on a sink, bath, or outdoor hose, making it easy to do bathtime at home.

Chewy

Promising review: "I live in an apartment complex, and I don't have a detachable shower head. My husky and my shepherd definitely needed one, so I can bathe them at home. This thing is amazing; it just pops on, and no tools are required. It is the best thing I have bought hands down. My dogs love it too." —Kaiza

Price: $29.99 ($39.99)

24. An enzymatic spray that breaks down stubborn, bio-based odors caused by any and all bodily fluids. Of course, it's safe for use around pets and even discourages pets from revisiting the scene of the crime and re-soiling. 

Chewy

Promising review: "I can’t say enough good things about this product. It just makes training a puppy so much less stressful, and keeps your house from smelling like you’re raising a puppy!" —Debora

Price: $13.57+ (originally $15.99+; available in two sizes)

25. Some wet food can covers if you're basically pouring money down the drain, letting half-eaten cans of food go to waste. In this economy?!

Michelle / Chewy

Promising review: "I usually use 2.8- to 3-ounce cans for my kitty food. I was nervous that it wouldn’t fit my 2.8-ounce cans since it’s a peculiar size, but to my surprise, it did! Very happy with this versatile purchase." —Michelle

Price: $2.99 for a two-pack

26. A set of two lick mats to make affordable, DIY treats at home that keep even the most high-energy dog entertained for a good long while. Hot tip: try freezing it, and pop them in the dishwasher when you're done. 

iwecmomo / Chewy, Nicole / Chewy

Promising review: "We have a dog who gets stressed with fireworks, so every holiday that involves fireworks, we fill this up, freeze it, and she's happy. Be careful leaving them alone with it because my other dog tore it up once the treat was gone." —Aly

Price: $14.99

27. A set of potty training bells because it's a simple training tool that makes everyone involved look and feel like a genius. You for training them, and your dog for straight-up telling you what they need! 

MariaH / Chewy

Promising review: "Got these for our puppy last year. Our older dog would paw the door to tell us he wanted to go out, and this helped the puppy learn the same trick. When my boyfriend got a new dog this year, I bought these for his house, and my dog taught the puppy the trick when I brought her over for play dates." —Jillian

Price: $8.99+(originally $24.99; available in eight colors)
