16 Products From Prime Day Your Pets Will Appreciate
Promising review: "I initially bought these as a fun Christmas gift for the neighborhood pups, and they were an absolute hit! The feedback I received from grateful dog owners was overwhelmingly positive — so much so that I started sending these delightful treats for doggy birthdays and other holidays. It's safe to say they've become a fan favorite among all the furry friends I know. What really sets these apart is the amazing collaboration with Dunkin'. The biscuits are beautifully crafted with sprinkles and dipped in a vanilla yogurt–flavored coating that looks and smells so good, a few friends joked about wanting to try them themselves! The dogs go wild for them — it's like watching them devour their own little piece of Dunkin' heaven. Aside from being a tasty indulgence, they also help freshen breath and reduce tartar buildup — an added bonus to an already fantastic treat." —Remnant VerifiedPrice: $3.19 (originally $4.29)

Promising review: "I have a dog that sheds immensely. During the change of season, I come home to balls of hair like tumbleweed. My car flooring was a disaster. I tried a long brush, tried the tape-type brush, too; no good. Then I got this pet hair remover. It is amazing! I can't believe how well it works and how inexpensive it is. This is a must-have! It reminds me of those little brushes in restaurant that pick up the crumbs so easily! It takes little effort. I wish I took a before and after photo, but with this new remover, there will be no chance I get another before photo." —calgary, canadaPrice: $15.99 (typically $19.99)
Or 20% off an Uproot Clean carpet rake because it attracts pet hair from your carpet like a magnet and has an adjustable handle and a built-in squeegee. This bad boy will likely reveal to you the color that your carpet should actually be.
Promising review: "I did not believe this item could do what it claimed it could do, but I ordered it anyway just to see. Oh my gosh...to my disbelief, it worked on my new rug SO WELL that I was astonished!! I had just purchased a new rug because my two dogs shed so much. Thus, the rug was fresh, with only two days of dog hair on it. I used the item, and on the first pull, I pulled up so much hair, I was stunned. It literally lifted all of the dog hair off of my rug so easily. Then I proceeded to vacuum. My rug is now the cleanest rug I have ever had because of this device! I would highly recommend it to folks who have shedding dogs and want to keep their rugs super clean! It really does WORK!" —Tiffany PapaPrice: $39.98 (typically $49.99)
20% off a Petcube cam — ever wonder how your four-legged bestie spends their time at home while you're away? Look no further. This gives you a 360-degree live camera view and two-way audio that lets you see, hear, and speak to your pet sitters and furry companions from your smartphone while you're away. The lens view can also be physically blocked with an app and pan-tilt rotation for some added privacy.
Promising review: "I must say, it's been a game changer for keeping an eye on my furry friend. Setting it up was a breeze — even for someone like me who isn't tech-savvy. The straightforward instructions and user-friendly interface made the entire process a walk in the park. What impressed me the most was the outstanding picture quality. The camera delivers crystal-clear images, allowing me to see every adorable detail of my pet's antics. Whether it's a playful romp or a nap, the camera captures it all in vibrant color and sharp resolution. Reliability is key when it comes to monitoring your pet remotely, and this camera has not disappointed. The real-time streaming provides peace of mind, especially during those long hours at work or when running errands. And it's incredibly affordable! In comparison with other options on the market, this one stands out for its budget-friendly price tag without compromising on performance." —Otto DobretsbergerPrice: $37.59 (originally $46.99)
22% off a PetSafe Stay & Play compact wireless fence with an adjustable radius to help your pet learn to stay safely within the boundaries of your property while still having free range to play and explore outdoors.
Promising review: "This collar is perfect for dogs that need some time outside, while keeping them and everyone around them safe. My dog learned her boundary quickly, and it was such a relief to us to know she wouldn't run in the road chasing a ball or another dog. There are at least four other dogs in our neighborhood that use this. The collar battery lasts a long time if you charge it when it's not in use. (I think they don't recommend more than eight hours a day.) We only put it on when she goes out, and she knows what it means. We have so much peace since using this. She actually doesn't need it anymore at all, but I can't recommend it enough. Our last dog could not hang outside because she could never be trusted. This product is perfect for stubborn dogs or excitable dogs with some impulse control. Cannot recommend enough." —MegsPrice: $249.95 (also available as a system for two pets; originally $319.95)
20% off a pack of Nutramax Cosequin joint health supplement, featuring tasty soft chews made with joint-supporting ingredients as well as omega-3 fatty acids, to support your dog's skin and coat health, and beta-glucans for immune support.
Promising review: "I was skeptical about these because I've been giving my dog vitamins/supplements for a while now and I never really noticed a difference, but I kept giving them to him just because. I took my dog to see the ocean a few weeks ago, and I started him on this product a few weeks before that because he has bad joint pain/arthritis, and I wanted him to be able to have fun and keep up with activities, as he is nearing 10 years old. I was kind of shocked at the difference I saw in him! He was jumping into the car easily, running around on the beach, swimming, and his coat even got really shiny. He has wiry terrier hair, so the shiny coat was so unexpected. I've continued this product, and he continues to improve. I'm thrilled about it! Highly recommend." —CooperPrice: $34.38 (originally $42.99)
28% off a high-sided large cat litter box designed with an open style and lowered front that makes it easy for cats to enter and exit and helps keep your floors squeaky clean.
Promising review: "This litter box is amazing! Before we had a smaller litter box, every time my cat would go to do her business, she would scratch litter out onto the floor. This is really nice because it has the extended height to keep litter in the box. Functions very well! It's very sturdy; some other litter boxes we've used cracked after some time. The only con I have is that the scooper that comes with it doesn't scoop everything like other scoopers I've bought. But overall a great product and definitely worth the purchase!" —Amber c.Price: $12.11 (originally $16.79)
20% off a 20-pound bag of the Honest Kitchen whole food clusters — human-grade dry dog food made with cage-free chicken, muscle meat, liver, wholesome oats, and live probiotics to help your pup gets a yummy, nutritious meal. According to many reviewers, your dog will be licking the bottom of their bowl!
Promising review: "For the first time, I finally found the food that all of my seven dogs love. There were always one or two who didn't like a certain food. I tried so many, and they either had allergic reactions, stinky poops, etc. But this food is perfect. My dogs basically inhale it. Their stool is good, and no more itching or scratching. I also noticed no more ear infections. Good value for the price. They love the turkey and the beef. This is the food I will stick with." —Y.C.Price: $75.99 (available in three flavors; originally $94.99)
50% off a Basepaws DNA test kit (available for both cats and dogs) you'll appreciate because it contains genetic tests that screen for potential genetic health risks while also giving you an insightful look into your pet's unique ancestry and traits.
Promising reviews: "I recently tried this testing kit for my mixed-breed puppy, and it exceeded my expectations. The process was simple and straightforward. The instructions were clear, making it easy to collect a sample from my pup without any hassle. The most rewarding part was receiving the detailed health and breed report. Not only did it give me valuable insights into potential health issues to watch for, but it also helped me identify my dog's breed mix — I was surprised and delighted to learn he's a Chiweenie! This newfound knowledge has given me a better understanding of his behaviors and how to cater to his specific needs. Overall, the Basepaws kit has been a fantastic tool for learning more about my furry friend's background and health. If you're curious about your dog's ancestry and well-being, I highly recommend it!" —Tirzah Monee"As a first-time (and obsessed) cat mom, I was so excited to purchase a Basepaws cat DNA kit for Helix. I wanted to know what I was in for with my little guy health-wise, since I've always had dogs. I was pleasantly surprised to receive an easy-to-use kit and get thorough (and I mean thorough) DNA analysis. I also loved seeing how he was made up of various breeds, but the health aspect was out of this world. I appreciated seeing his oral health piece and will start seeing how I can do better for him and his oral health. I loved this kit so much, I purchased it for our other cats who are a brother-sister pair. I can't wait to send it off to see and compare their DNA with Helix's. If you're on the fence about it, just do it. You'll be pleasantly surprised, and your cat may or may not thank you long term." —Megan NicolePrice: $74.99 (originally $149)
23% off a shampoo for dogs, cats, and horses, made with an antimicrobial, antifungal, and antibiotic formula and infused with moisturizing lavender and lemongrass oils. Your pet will be ready for their photo op in no time.
Promising review: "This is a MUST for my dog. I have a pink, sensitive-skin pit mix that struggles with seasonal allergies and hot spot rashes. When his skin is itchy, super irritated, and going through a breakout, we use this once a week and then once a month for maintenance when his allergies are under control. This was recommended to us by his vet. A little goes a long way and calms his skin, makes his coat shiny, and is easy to use! Would highly recommend if your fur baby struggles with seasonal allergies too!" —Danielle GibsonPrice: $32.79 (originally $42.36)
35% off a Pet Honesty Restore + Soothe shampoo, a sudsy formula made with MicroSilver BG, an ingredient meant to provide rapid relief from itching, irritations, and hot spots while also targeting odor-causing bacteria to keep your dog or cat smelling fresh. It's also enriched with moisturizing aloe and lavender.
Promising review: "This is a great product that does its job well and lasts for hours. I have an old girl with allergies who struggles with dry skin. She has a tendency to chew herself bald in a couple of spots. I use the soap from this line about once a month, and I spray her spots twice a day when they're bothering her. This stuff stops the chewing in its tracks. It didn't take long for her to see me pick up the bottle and act as if she was about to get a treat. She loves this stuff; it seems to provide her with instant relief that lasts for hours. It smells nice too — I like lavender." —Dave MPrice: $14.29 (regularly $21.99)
21% off a pack of Uproot Clean pet ear cleaner finger wipes, an easy way to make clearing debris, wax, and dirt from your furry pal's ears a stress-free experience for both of you! Simply slip one of these soothing, shea butter–infused wipes onto your finger, gently massage the inside of their ears, and go back to playtime without the itchy interruptions.
Promising review: "We have a golden retriever and live in South Florida, so the pup is very prone to ear infections. Also, he does NOT like to be manhandled. But after the first use of these wipes (which is super simple), he now comes to me and then looks pointedly at the container of wipes, so he REALLY likes them. Within days of starting to use these, we noticed that the redness and odor were gone, and he quit scratching his ears. Plan to always have these available." —WookieemomPrice: $15.79 (regularly $19.99)
25% off a 240-pack of gentle plant-based dog bathing wipes, which are great for freshening up their skin and coat between baths (especially for pups with sensitive skin)! Plus, the bag is made of 100% bamboo and is totally compostable.
Promising review: "We just got our dog wipes, and they smell fantastic!! I have babies at home, and when our dog gets dirty in the backyard, it is so easy to wipe her down before the kiddos get to her first. The shipping was quick, and the products are of top-notch quality. I like the sleek, modern look of the products!! It's hard to find legit organic, clean, and safe products out there for animals, especially dog lovers. I am so happy a friend recommended that we check out this line." —Joanna PowerPrice: $29.99 (originally $39.99)
20% off a dog dental powder made with a tri-biotics formula, an anti-inflammatory enzyme blend, vitamin C, and zinc to support healthy gums and prevent plaque formation. It's also got pomegranate and green tea to help reduce bacterial growth.
Promising review: "I tried this dog breath powder for my dog, and the results exceeded my expectations! After just a few days, I noticed that my pet's breath became noticeably fresher. The powder is easy to add to food, and my dog didn't even notice any changes, which is super convenient for us. Besides the fresh breath, I also feel confident that it helps with dental and gum health. I especially love that it's a natural product. I'm very happy with this purchase and would recommend it to all dog owners who want to maintain their pet's oral hygiene without extra hassle!" —OLEH POLTIEVPrice: $26.39 (regularly $32.99)
16% off a variety pack of Sheba Perfect Portions wet cat food — these easy-to-serve twin packs of wet cat food ensure two gourmet servings without messy leftovers at every meal! Formulated without grains, corn, soy, artificial flavors, or preservatives, these packs are made to satisfy even the pickiest of felines.
Promising review: "So I decided to buy this for my stray cat that I take care of. She's a bit older and has seemed to lose interest in her dry food that she's been eating, so she hasn't been eating much. However, she LOVES this food! It comes in individual, easy containers that split the food portions for you. She loves this cat food and starts licking up the extra gravy right away. It seems like it's very easy for her to digest, and she usually eats the whole serving right away. The texture is great — wet food, extra gravy, and soft, medium-sized pieces make it easy for her to eat. The value from this great deal is that it won't break the bank, but it will get me through about a month of food for her. Oh, and there are two different flavors, so it's not the same flavor over and over again, which is nice. VERY happy with this purchase and will be getting it again!" —BeccaPrice: $29.24 (regularly $34.97)
14% off a FURminator cat de-shedding tool with a curved edge that conforms to the shape of your long-haired cat to easily remove loose hair and undercoat without damaging their top coat or skin.
Promising review: "This brush/tool is life-changing! Seriously! I used to have cat hair on my furniture and carpets. Everywhere! I constantly had to use the vacuum to clean it up. Since I purchased this, there are no longer clumps of cat hair on the carpet. I don't have cat hair along the top of my couch. My cat isn't having matting problems. I love this! It was recommended to me by another pet lover, too. ♥️ " —Kathy SPrice: $28.52 (originally $32.99)

I added Bulletproof coffee to the morning routine and loved it
I'm a coffee drinker. Period. It doesn't matter if it's in the waiting area at Jiffy Lube, in the parking lot at Dunkin', or at a vibey Indie mom-and-pop café that harvests their Arabica. If there's hot bean water, I'm having a cup (or three). Obviously, I'd rather my coffee not taste like it's been sitting in a pot for the better part of the day—slightly burnt and watered down. In a perfect world, or in a world with perfect coffee, it should jolt you from grogginess and at the same time, be bursting with flavor. I want my coffee strong and hot (I swear we're still talking about coffee). A dash of milk, too, please. Oh, and I also want my daily morning bev to be undeniably good for me. You can't always have everything when it comes to your morning drink. It's just coffee, after all. It's not a winning lottery ticket or a miracle drug, you know? Bulletproof coffee is seriously upping the bean water game and making me rethink so many hundreds (thousands!?) of subpar slurps. Bulletproof's founder, Dave Asprey, wanted to create a cup of coffee that offers more than a quick jolt of energy. After learning about the benefits of combining caffeine and fat while drinking butter tea in Tibet, he created a brand that would do just that. Bulletproof Coffee, which contains coffee, MCT oil, and grass-fed ghee (clarified butter), was born. Now, arguments have been made over the years (arguments I'll gladly cling to) that coffee, when consumed in moderation, is actually fairly healthy. It may be especially good for heart health. However, Bulletproof coffee attempts to take the 'coffee is healthy' argument to a whole new level. In addition to the Bulletproof butter recipe, the individual flavors have a variety of different ingredients that may offer mind and body benefits, like MCT oil, which is supposed to support focus and mental clarity, and feeling full for longer. Some Bulletproof Coffee flavors have additions like prebiotics, which research has shown can support gut health, along with slippery elm bark, B vitamins, and lion's mane, which has been shown to help with mood. In June the company launched a rebrand, where it introduced two different packaging options—one for its Enhanced line and one for its Artisan line. The Enhanced line is about energy, focus, and gut health and comes in white packaging. The Artisan line features coffee that's focused on taste and clean ingredients, and comes in black packaging. 'This rebrand is about more than just a new look, it's a reflection of where we're headed,' said Andy van Ark, CCO of Bulletproof in a statement. 'We've evolved alongside our consumers, and today's Bulletproof is focused on energizing and empowering consumers to own their day.' In the spirit of owning my day, I tried three different Bulletproof coffees: the Original, the High Achiever from the Enhanced line, and the Mentalist from the Artisan line. First up, was the Original, and it was love at first sip. The flavor is smooth, yet bold and robust. I knew I could spend every morning with this same brew and never get bored. It also seemed to provide steady energy, meaning I felt focused for longer than usual. Next, I sampled the High Achiever, which is especially formulated to help with both energy and focus. I wasn't expecting to notice a huge difference from the Original flavor. But wildly, I felt super focused through my entire work day, and beyond. While I'm usually a three-mugs-a-morning kinda gal, I found myself zipping through work, organizing my office, and only requiring one cup to do it. I mean, I still had two, but I didn't need two. Notably, I didn't hit an afternoon slog, which is pretty common for me after my morning caffeine wears off. Instead, I felt energized all day, which my dog especially appreciated because it meant she got an extra long walk. Last, but definitely not least, came the Mentalist. Like the others, I'd gladly drink this one every day, but in terms of flavor, it was the winner. It has the exact flavor I'm always looking for in a cup of coffee, with hints of cherry, almond, and caramel, and while, no, I didn't pick those all up myself, (I read them on the package), they came together perfectly. Like the original, I felt focused for longer than usual, too. A 12-ounce package of ground coffee runs about $16.99, a bit higher than budget brands, although subscribe and save options on the site can shave off a few dollars. Still, I do think it helped my focus and energy—especially the High Achiever—pretty undeniably. If you're looking for a cup of coffee that tastes really great and has even better body and brain-boosting benefits, I'd recommend not sleeping on Bulletproof. After just one cup, you'll be so full of energy, sleep will be the last thing on your brain anyway.

A Looming Dairy Drought Will Stunt the World's Growth
It's every baby's first food, and we can't get enough of it. The world produces close to a billion metric tons of milk each year — more than all the wheat or rice we grow. That lead is set to widen over the coming decade, with dairy consumption expected to grow faster than any other agricultural commodity. On a rapidly warming planet, this poses a host of problems. Consider demand. There's more than half a billion people under the age of four in developing countries, and about a third of them suffer from stunting — short stature that's associated with health, educational and economic problems in later life. Most could benefit from the policy first proposed by Scottish nutritionist John Boyd Orr in the 1920s: provision of dairy products to give them a more nutritionally rich diet.

Milk Might Actually Be More Hydrating Than Water—Here's What the Science Says
Key Points Hydration depends on more than just water—some nutrient-rich drinks, like milk, can also help. Milk offers water, electrolytes, and carbs that support fluid balance and post-workout recovery. While milk can hydrate, water should still be your main beverage for daily hydration you've ever felt extra-thirsty, even after chugging a tall glass of water, you're probably aware that water isn't the only hydrating beverage. Next time water just doesn't cut it, and you're feeling parched—like after a sweaty workout—try reaching for a cup of milk. Yes, we're talking real dairy milk. Why Milk Can Help with Hydration Dairy milk has the perfect hydrating trifecta of electrolytes, water and carbohydrates. This thirst-quenching combination makes milk a beverage that can help with hydration. And some bodies of research back this up. A study published in the American Journal of Clinical Nutrition tested 13 different beverages and found that whole milk, skim milk and orange juice provided better hydration than water. Similarly, a 2020 study in Nutrients found that a milk-based hydration drink helped the body stay hydrated longer than water or a sports drink by reducing urine loss and increasing fluid retention. It also led to a smaller spike in blood sugar, making it a more stable energy source compared to traditional sports drinks. However, these studies have some limitations, such as small sample sizes and limited diversity, so further research is needed to confirm these findings. It Has Electrolytes Electrolytes are minerals, including sodium, potassium, calcium and magnesium. They help maintain our body's overall balance, from regulating chemical reactions and helping our muscles contract to maintaining blood pressure and the right balance of fluid, says Katie Brown, Ed.D., RDN, executive vice president of the National Dairy Council. Regardless of its fat content, milk has you covered for all of these electrolytes. According to the USDA, one 8-ounce serving (1 cup) of reduced-fat (2%) milk contains: Calories: 122 Total Carbohydrates: 12 g Dietary Fiber: 0 g Total Sugar: 12 g Added Sugar: 0 g Protein: 8 g Total Fat: 5 g Saturated Fat: 3 g Cholesterol: 20 mg Sodium: 96 mg (4% Daily Value) Calcium: 309 mg (24% DV) Potassium: 390 mg (8% DV) Magnesium: 29 mg (12% DV) Phosphorus: 252 mg (20% DV) "While electrolytes don't hydrate you per se, they help regulate your fluid balance and how well you hold on to or lose fluids," says Matt Pikosky, Ph.D., RD, vice president of nutrition marketing and affairs at the National Dairy Council. "Without the proper balance of sodium, potassium and other electrolytes in your body, you can't retain the water you're drinking as effectively because sodium promotes fluid retention, which supports hydration and rehydration," he says. It's 90% Water Dairy milk, like many other foods, such as fruits and veggies, is naturally high in water content, which can help contribute to your hydration needs. "Milk naturally contains about 90% water, which can help hydrate us in a similar way that water hydrates," Pikosky says. Like all beverages, milk is primarily made of water, which is absorbed in your intestines and promotes hydration, says Melanie Betz, M.S., RD, CSR, FAND, founder and CEO of The Kidney Dietitian in Chicago. But what makes milk a good option for hydration is the naturally present electrolytes. "Electrolytes help regulate fluid balance, making it a double dose of hydration," Pikosky says. It Contains Natural Sugar Sugar is a type of carbohydrate, and dairy milk contains a natural sugar called lactose. "Any type of carbohydrate (like lactose) can help hydration because the process of absorbing carbohydrates in your intestines requires electrolytes," Betz says. "The presence of carbohydrates helps with fluid absorption from the small intestine into the bloodstream," says Pikosky. So carbs help those electrolytes get absorbed into your body, where they can help fluid go where it should. What's more, "The carbs in milk also help to slow the digestion process, which can lead to a slower release and absorption of the water naturally present in dairy milk," Brown says. And that all translates to better hydration levels. Are Plant-Based Milks as Hydrating as Dairy Milk? OK, so is stocking your fridge with oat or almond milk doing your body any favors? It's hard to say, for two reasons. First, there isn't much research on the role of plant-based milks role in supporting hydration; second, there are so many different types of vegan dairy milks available on the market, with widely varying nutritional profiles, that it's difficult to generalize. Still, the majority of plant-based milk alternatives don't offer the same nutritional profile as dairy milk, says Pikosky. What's unique about dairy milk is that it contains a natural balance of water, electrolytes and macronutrients (carbs, protein and fat). And "plant-based milks generally have less potassium and sugar than cow's milk—so, they may technically be less hydrating," Betz says. If you're avoiding dairy or looking for a vegan alternative, the plant-based option that would come closest to dairy milk, as pointed out by the Dietary Guidelines for Americans, would be fortified soy beverages, Pikosky says. If you're shopping for a nondairy alternative, always check the Nutrition Facts label for those electrolytes to get a better clue into your plant-based milk's hydration benefits. Should You Drink Milk Instead of Water? It's clear that milk can help hydrate you, but that shouldn't give you the green light to give up on plain water. "Milk is a very healthy addition to a well-balanced diet. But, from a hydration standpoint, it shouldn't be your only beverage," Betz says. The Institute of Medicine suggests that young men (ages 19 to 30) drink around 3.7 liters (125 ounces) and women 2.7 liters (91 ounces) daily. Betz points out that if all of this fluid was 2% milk, this would add 1,342 to 1,952 calories per day—which could be someone's entire day's worth of calories. But there are certain scenarios where milk can help hydrate you better than water—like after a seriously sweaty and intensive workout. "As a dietitian with a background in exercise physiology, I do recommend people refuel, rehydrate and rebuild after moderate to intense exercise with milk or chocolate milk," Pikosky says. That makes milk a solid sports drink alternative that's more natural, budget-friendly and tastes great, too. Our Expert Take Some studies show that dairy milk may be as hydrating as water—and that's because milk contains a nice natural balance of electrolytes, water and carbs. However, "It is important to remember that for most people, water really is the best option for hydration," Betz says. When you're thirsty, always reach for water first. But if you're feeling extra parched, especially after a sweat-inducing workout, that's a good time to reach for a glass of milk. Read the original article on EATINGWELL
