BuzzFeed-Shopping·2025-06-13 05:05

1. A pint of doggy ice cream that comes in four decadent (if I do say so myself) flavors: maple bacon, peanut butter, sprinkles, and vanilla. Simply add water, freeze, and prepare to be your pup's new favorite parent. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "This puppy ice cream smells great. I bought the maple bacon flavor for my 4-month Chihuahua, and she loves it. The size of the products is good for small dogs. I give her one scoop because she is tiny. This ice cream is perfect for the hot summer days." —Neryna Cuadrado

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in four flavors). 

2. A tooth-cleaning chew toy to trick your doggo into ~brushing their teefs~ before bed thanks to a bacon scent. One play session = a decrease in plaque and tartar.

Chewy, AbbyP / Chewy

Promising review: "My dog has been chewing on the Hartz dog bones that are bacon flavored for the last five years and has perfect teeth. Stopped her from chewing on my shoes when she was younger, too. Still keeps her busy at 7 years old. :) " —Glucas1211

Get it from Chewy for $3.47+ (available in four sizes; colors vary and are chosen at random).

3. A pack of EcoKind's Himalayan yak cheese chews that not only taste delicious (and no, we're not lying, Dr. Dolittle himself confirmed) but last for quite a while, making it a tasty and mentally stimulating treat.

amazon.com

Promising reviews: "We were skeptical at first because the dogs weren't quite sure about them, but we can't let ourselves be caught without them now. Our 9-year-old male Australian Cattle Dog likes them occasionally, but our two under-a-year females love them, fight over them, and even fall asleep chewing on them!

We especially like these smaller-sized pieces because the longer ones we got before seemed to lose favor with the dogs after a while, but these they can finish and not leave for me to find in strange places." —Danny Scarbro

"I have a very easily bored, mischief-prone Australian shepherd-poodle mix, and these are a godsend. They don't stink, she loves them, they last far longer than other edible chew toys, and she remains interested in them all the way to the end. I was so happy to find these on Subscribe & Save at a good price." —Philly Transplant

Get a four-pack from Amazon for $26.95 (also available in other pack sizes). 

4. A bag of Milk-Bone Pill Pouches because let's face it: there's nothing more frustrating then seeing your pooch spit out the (very expensive) pills that their vet prescribed. This makes the whole ordeal easy-easy.

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 put two allergy pills in one and two medications in the other, easily. 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

Get them from Chewy for $4.49+ (available in four sizes and two flavors).

5. A package of freeze-dried beef liver treats over 5,000 reviewers swear their dogs are *obsessed* with and honestly I sort of can't blame them? I think I'd like these if I were a dog, too.

Natalia / Chewy, Jan / Chewy

Promising review: "At first, Willow wasn't quite sure about these freeze-dried beef liver treats. The texture gave her a moment of 'paws' (pun intended). But once she took that first crunchy bite, it was game over — she's absolutely hooked! Now, these treats are her go-to favorite. She'll sit, stay, and maybe even do a backflip if it means getting one. The 14-ounce tub is the perfect size to keep her tail wagging without running out too soon. If your pup needs a high-value treat to bring out their inner superstar, these are a must-try! Willow gives them two paws up!" —Kathy

Get them from Chewy for $4.99+ (originally $5.99+, available in six sizes).

6. A Dash dog-treat maker that functions like its waffle maker counterpart: simply plug it in, fill with batter, and et voila, the button will shine green when ready. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My dog loves the treats made in this maker, and I love the relative ease and speed. I wasn't too crazy about the included recipes, but I found quit a few good ones online. The online recipes make between 36 and 48 treats at a time — very generous — and use common household ingredients. Since I have a very fussy dog, I'm glad I found this." —Diane Mettam

Get it from Amazon for $27.95

7. A set of two lick mats you can smear with peanut butter or yogurt for a tasty puzzle that'll keep 'em occupied (and not barking) during that Zoom meeting.

iwecmomo / Chewy, Nicole / Chewy

Promising review: "We have a dog that 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

Get them from Chewy for $13.99.

8. A treat-dispensing toy so playtime can last for hours on particularly cold days when walks need to be short and sweet. These toy balls are designed to interlock for bigger dogs, too. 

www.youtube.com

Up Dog Toys is a family-founded small business.

Promising review: "My Corgi LOVES it. He gets his breakfast in it every day. When he used to get it in the bowl, he would finish it in about 30 seconds. Now he rolls the Odin around for about 10 minutes to get his breakfast, and he really looks forward to this. When he finishes, we've made a game of finding Odin. I never know where it will have landed when the last piece of food comes out, and he has to show me. If you have a dog who loves games and could use the mental stimulation, I recommend this. We've had ours for about eight months and it is in the same condition as when new. I do pick it up after breakfast to wash it so he does not have it all the time." —Julia Shaw

Get it from Amazon for $23.99 (available in six colors).

9. An allergy supplement if spring = discomfort for your pup. These immunity-boosting soft chews are probiotics that help promote healthy skin, with probiotics to keep your dog from painfully itching and gnawing. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My dog loves these. We live in the South, so allergies are pretty serious here. When spring came around, I noticed he was constantly gnawing at his paw and not eating as much as he used to. I did some research and found this product. I was skeptical, as he’s kind of picky, but he is obsessed with them. He waits at the pantry door every morning for them. He thinks they are treats. I noticed — within hours — that he was no longer gnawing at his paw, and his appetite was also back to normal. When he finished his first tube of these, I decided to wait to order more and see if they really worked or if his allergies just wore off. A few weeks went by, and I noticed him gnawing at his paw again and not eating. I ordered them on Sunday, and he’s back on them again. He was so excited to see them again and is no longer gnawing at his paw. :)" —Alyssa

Get 90 chews from Amazon for $19.97+ (available in five styles).

10. An ice bandana to keep your pup feeling (and looking TBQH) cool during the hot, humid months of summer. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Check out the ice bandana on TikTok!

Promising review: "I own an English bulldog who overheats very easily. I bought this for a (very short) trip to the beach, and it worked fabulously. Easy to use and super cute!" —Ciara

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in four sizes).

11. A elevated outdoor bed that lingers eight inches above the ground. TL;DR; it allows air to pass through to keep your pup cool, all while the canopy roof prevents the sunshine from beating down on 'em directly. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Got this for my 24-lb dog, as he usually lies on the concrete patio when we’re all outside, with the sun blazing down on him. Got it set up and didn’t even have to coax him onto it. He loves it! He’s so comfortable and definitely cooler with that canopy over him. It’s also held up well through the heat, rain, and some surprisingly strong windstorms. Definitely recommend." —Prairie Dove

Get it from Amazon for $44.99+ (available in three sizes and two colors).

12. A wheat-free peanut butter cake mix crafted specifically for dogs (!!!) so you can shower them with love and baked goods on their special day like you would any other bestie. I simply can't imagine anything cuter.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "This was a huge hit, both of our chocolate labs LIVE for peanut butter. Instead of the yogurt icing, I melted some actual peanut butter in the microwave and used that as icing instead. Chuckie could barely wait for it to bake!" —aim1030

Get it from Amazon for $9.99.

13. An anxiety jacket that applies gentle pressure for quasi-hug, helping to keep pups calm during stressful situations: flights, car rides, thunderstorms, etcetera. Reviewers especially love this for Fourth of July (and the fireworks that come with it).

amazon.com

Promising review: "This is my first Fourth of July with my rescue dog, and I didn’t know how she was going to react to fireworks. I bought this ahead of time just in case, and I'm so glad I did. She started shaking and panting as soon as they started going off. I put this on her and she almost immediately stopped trembling, and now she is asleep! I honestly had my doubts that something so simple would work." —weez

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in seven sizes and two colors). 

14. A snuggle puppy stuffed toy for pups who suffer from separation anxiety and need a hint of extra attention. Be still my heart, but this stuffed animal is designed with a heart that beats to make them feel less alone. And I'm sorry but now I can't stop crying. 

www.amazon.com, Amazon

The heartbeat has two modes: 24-hour continuous use or 8-hour use with automatic shut-off. It comes with AAA batteries and a one-time-use heat pack.

Snuggle Puppy is a small business that was created in 1997 by a breeder who wanted to help a litter of puppies transition to their new homes. It ended up being so effective that the line was eventually expanded to help other pets with stress and anxiety.

Promising review: "This product is genius! Ten stars! Well-made, with clear directions for use. I have an elderly pug who has become increasingly needy. I can't sit with her all day. I tried snuggling her next to articles of my clothing or a shoe. She still cried and whined. So I searched online for some sort of calming dog product. After watching the video, I ordered Snuggle Puppy, and it arrived the same day. I had it out of the wrapper and next to my pug in five minutes. She rubbed her head on it so I knew she liked it. I turned on the beating heart, and no more crying and whining. I should have purchased this a long time ago." —Clarabella

Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in seven colors).

15. A large duck chew toy that reviewers (myself included) rave about for its durability. This lil' guy is truly the gift that keeps on giving because you won't have to replace it after a mere few days — my Frenchie has been chewing on the same one for ~five months now and it's still going strong.*

amazon.com, AnaMaria Glavan/BuzzFeed

Promising review: "My English Mastiff (and the biggest baby ever) loves his ducky. He has ripped up other toys, but not his beloved duck. He has had it for a few months now and brings it everywhere around the house with him, even sleeps snuggled up with it. I don't know why dogs seem to love this toy so much, but I would highly recommend purchasing." —Kristen

Get one from Amazon for $7.90.

16. A pet sofa so cozy that they may even refrain from taking up all the space in your bed at night. And in addition to a more restful night's sleep? This'll look quite chic in your apartment. 

Funny Fuzzy

Promising review: "My pet loves this bed. It's easy to clean and very soft. I've spent a fortune on other beds and he never went near them. This one has a great price and he is in it all the time." —S.B.

Get it from Funny Fuzzy for $58.76+ (originally $113+; available in three sizes and four colors and patterns).

17. A hide-and-seek plushie that encourages curious doggos to dig around. And the design? Let's just say it makes playtime even ~sweeter~.

Target

Promising review: "My dog loves the little bees. However, I don’t think she’s quite clever enough to get them out of the burrow. My kitten is the one who retrieves the bees, and the dog gets excited to steal them from her! Overall, I love this for both of my fur babies." —scarevans

Get it from Target for $11.69.

18. A grooming rake designed for breeds with thick, coarse far. And while this is a practical find for you (and your home), doggos also seem to find it soothing!

amazon.com

Promising review: "FANTASTIC. My dog LOVES this grooming too. He sits there and just chills. The other tools that I used were definitely not his thing. If I could give this item a 10, I would." —Coach Roy

Get it from Amazon for $14.95+ (available in two colors).

19. A cave bed if your pooch is anything like mine and demands to be covered on a whim but can't quite burrow under a blanket. This is the no-frills solution they've been waiting for you to buy.

amazon.com

Promising review: "We bought this bed about a month ago for our boxer mix. She gets very chilly in the winters, even in the south. From day one she has loved this bed. She dive rolls into it. The added bonus is that she now prefers to sleep in what we call her 'taco' and doesn’t jump in our bed at all anymore. So all of us are sleeping better." —ShellyATL

Get it from Amazon for $39.59+ (available in two sizes). 

20. A hair-removing glove that is the best kind of grooming tactic. Why? All you'll have to do is give your doggo some pets and they'll be snoring before you know it.

AnaMaria Glavan / BuzzFeed

Promising review: "My dog has long fur (double coat) and she tolerates it when I use the slicker brush, but she actually relaxed and settled in when I brushed her with this. The only drawback, which wasn't enough to take off a whole star, is that the velcro has sharp corners and pokes my wrist a little when I move around. That won't stop me from using it, though, because my dog gives it two enthusiastic paws up." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $7.99.

21. Waterproof booties to protect their toe beans from rain, sleet, snow, debris, and hot pavement. And now that summer's coming up, it's great for something my dog personally refuses to do: hike.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: "I bought these for my staffy. We live in New England, and in the winter, the trail behind our home gets very wet and then freezes over, which cuts up her feet on our walks several times a day. Her paws get so raw that she will limp around the house and leave trails of blood. We tried wrapping her paws in vet wrap, different barrier ointments, etc, but it was never enough or she would lick/chew it off.

I never thought she would tolerate boots, but we were desperate enough to try. She ended up doing great with them and was so excited to play outside with our Shepherd mix! She does periodically stop and try to bite at the boots but is easily redirected. The boots are easy to put on her and stay on really well, though she is a very submissive dog so it might be more difficult with other dogs." —Anonymous

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

22. A snuffle toy made with a hidden squeaker and blissfuly waterproof fabric, ideal for drool-y dogs that expect you to throw their toy over and over again...even when it's covered in slobber.

Target

Promising review: "It’s adorable, durable…and so, so cute! My dog has been loving it since it arrived a week ago. It’s still here, too, so that's a plus!!! I’d re-order this toy gladly. Puppy approved!!" —Lastminmom 

Get it from Target for $14.99

23. A plush couch liner equipped with a leakproof, nonslip heating pad to keep 'em warm when the landlord refuses to raise the heat to a reasonable temperature. 

www.amazon.com

Promising reviews: "I use lots of blankets for my dog. This is so cute and fits perfectly on the sofa. It is silky warm and snuggly. I like the raised back like a dog bed pillow. It looks great and she is comfortable." —jt

"He has his little heating pad under his cover, and he LOVES it. We find him sleeping on his back, like he’s worked a 16-hour day. The cover is the perfect size for the couch space and looks excellent too." —NSP

Get it from Amazon for $19.90+ (available in six sizes and five colors). 

24. A portable paw cleaner to avoid dragging the remnants of icky winter weather into your clean home. Just add a little water, put each paw inside to be scrubbed by the silicone bristles, and that's it. Clean paws within seconds and helps your pooch avoid bath time. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "This product is great. My puppy is a digger, and we have red clay-type dirt. It gets her paws clean fast and easily. So much better than having to get a bath every time she digs." —Mandi Bultman

Get it from Amazon for $16.99+ (available in three sizes, eight colors, and with or without a lid).

25. An activity mat designed with puzzles that require solving in order for your pooch to get their treat, helping them to remain boredom-free *and* hone their foraging skills. 

www.amazon.com

Promising review: "My little dog loves this dog puzzle! He has very high energy and even with two 30-minute walks every day he can play for hours. We got several different types of dog puzzles and this one is definitely one of the favorites. I hide several small treats in the mat to engage him for 10+ minutes. Out of all the puzzle this was the easiest for him to pick up on but has yet to get bored of it. He knows when I bring it out it means treats!" —Jessica

Get it from Amazon for $14.99.

26. A dog ball launcher to play fetch without the burden of having to run after every single tennis ball you throw into the ether. 

www.amazon.com, www.amazon.com

Promising review: "Bought this for our 4-year-old baby. She loves to chase balls and can do it for hours (so it seems). To save our arm and shoulder sockets, we took a chance on this, and L-O-V-E it. She has learned the sound of the machine gearing up for the throw and literally prances in place waiting for the ball to eject. We bought extra balls because sometimes she doesn't bring them back so we wanted to have a stockpile. EXCELLENT value for the price!" —Faith I

Get it from Amazon for $129.99.

27. A magic link leash that can be worn as belt, a crossbody, or around your wrist, which is great because a: it means they won't be able to run off and b: will prevent you from pulling their collar. 

Amazon

BuzzFeed Shopping Editor Bek O'Connell said: "This leash is such a lifesaver. My dog is very anxious and has a tendency to bolt. I'm talking 0–100, dead sprint. I was so scared that he would catch me off guard and the leash would fly out of my hands. Being able to loop this over my head (I wear it cross-body) has given me total peace of mind. Best of all, I can have both hands free while navigating various walking obstacles. The ease of being able to dig around in your bag while keeping your dog attached to your hip is truly priceless. Bonus: It comes in colors your dog can actually see."

Get it from Amazon for $49.99+ (available in three sizes and four colors).
