27 Chewy Products For Anyone In Their DINKWAD (Dual Income, No Kids, With A Dog) Era
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Because nothing makes you happier than seeing your fur baby happy. 1. A dog DNA test kit that unlocks the secrets of your pup's ancestry and health, because we're sparing NO expense on their well-being. The test screens for over 250 breeds and 230+ genetic health risks, offering insights that can help tailor your dog's care and training. It's like 23andMe, but for your dog — because knowing their genetic makeup and health risks is just one more way to pamper them. Chewy Promising review:"We got one of these kits for both dogs. The swab is quick and easy to do, and the kit has very easy-to-follow instructions for everything from swabbing your dog's mouth to getting the kit registered, sending the sample out, and getting the results. I love how in-depth this kit is regarding the information provided on your dog. It takes a few weeks to get the data back, but they send you updates along the way!" — Madyson 2. A waterproof blanket so you and your pup can share the couch without sacrificing your comfort or upholstery. This one's got a plush fleece side for peak snuggle vibes and a waterproof flannel underside that quietly protects your furniture from drool, wet paws, or the occasional 'oops' moment. Chic enough for your living room, durable enough for your dog. A win-win all around. Chewy Promising review:"I love this blanket, and so do my dogs. Keeps hair off the couch, and when wet from the snow, it protects my couch. It's very nice-looking and warm if you use it as a blanket." — Cathy Price: $19.39+ (originally $32.95+; available in three sizes and seven colors) 3. A door panel that'll give your four-legged child the kind of independence you dreamed of in your twenties. Now, they can come and go as they please — without you having to crawl out of bed at 2 a.m. No more groggy midnight potty breaks! Plus, it seamlessly fits into your glass doors, so you get all the convenience without sacrificing your home's aesthetic. Chewy Promising review:"It didn't take the dogs long to learn how to use it! A few treats and now they are in/out, and I don't have to do a thing!" — Terry Price: $189.95+ (originally $206.99+; available in five sizes and two colors) 4. A jar of paw protectant made from natural waxes to shield your adventure buddy's paws from the harsh elements. This balm is way more likely to stay on their feet than those clunky dog booties. So go ahead — let them explore without worry. Pearl/Chewy, Chewy Promising review:"Love Musher's for our Golden Retriever's feet year-round. Keeps pads moisturized in summer, preventing snow and ice from sticking to their feet in winter. Used Musher's for years!!" — Judy 5. A bag of Pedigree dental chews that'll have your pup thinking they're just getting a treat — when really, they're secretly fighting off plaque, tartar, and that breath. It's a daily snack that keeps their chompers clean and helps them avoid a very expensive (and dramatic) trip to the doggy dentist. Promising review:"I wanted a wallet-friendly way to supplement my dog's dental health between brushes, and these are awesome!! She absolutely loves these, and I think they have a really good cleaning texture. They also come in a resealable bag which will be one of the main reasons I buy again." — jess 6. A flying squirrel dog toy because it's way more exciting for your dog to chase something that looks like an actual squirrel — minus the colors and the glowing feet. It's the next best thing to a real-life squirrel chase (sans chaos). Chewy Promising review:"My dog has a flying squirrel toy that we play fetch with, but it is on its last leg, so I bought this for her; she loves it! She is obsessed with it! She has an underbite so she has a bit of trouble picking up things that are flat but this is a bit curved on all the edges so she has no trouble picking it up!" — Madison 7. A roller dog toy that's perfect for indoor playtime. It's soft enough to throw around without worrying about breaking anything, and its bright colors make it super easy to spot when it rolls under the couch. Indoor fetch just got a whole lot safer (and more fun)! Promising review:"Very well-made. My five dogs love it. It's durable, and it can withstand tug-of-war games. Plan to purchase more really soon." — Chewy Reviewer 8. A pet travel bag made specifically for air travel, because your furry friend deserves to fly in style. With compartments for food, water, toys, and medications, this bag ensures your pet has everything they need to feel comfy on the go. Bon voyage, little buddy — luxury travel awaits! Chewy Promising review:"This bag is sweet swag for your on-the-go pooch. It has adequate food storage, is compact, and is well-made. I am purchasing more for my new puppies and their adopted families. Thanks Dog Gear!" — Chewy Customer 9. A set of can covers to keep your pet's wet food fresh — because it's not exactly cheap! These handy covers will save you from wasting food (and money) while keeping leftovers fresh for your furry friend's next meal. A total game changer! Chewy Promising review:"I use one of these for my cat food, one for dog food. Both cans are different sizes, but they fit both great (cat food is 5.5 ounces, and dog food is 13.2 ounces). No more wasted cling wrap and I love that they are top-shelf dishwasher-safe." — MB22 10. A tough dog chew toy that smells and tastes just like real wood — but without any risk to your dog's teeth. It's the perfect way to keep your pup happily chewing for hours, with none of the splinters or mess. Your dog will be entertained, and you'll have peace of mind! Promising review:"Our puppy is a very aggressive chewer; he has a lot of fun playing fetch with it, and this is holding up very well to his chewing." — Margaret 11. A dual dog leash to make sure your pups don't turn your walk into a tug-of-war. This leash keeps them together, giving each dog the attention they deserve while you stay in control. Walks just got a whole lot easier — and way less chaotic! Chewy 12. A large rubber ball that combines two toys in one for double the fun. This durable, interactive ball features a squeaky interior tennis ball that tumbles around, enticing your pup to chase and play. The built-in handles make it easy for you to pick up and toss during fetch sessions, and for your dog to shake and chew. Perfect for alllllllll the high-energy doggies out there. Promising review:"My American Bully goes through a ridiculous amount of toys that have barely lasted 10 minutes. Several horse toys by trainer recommendations have not survived. This ball is the exception, and though my dog has punctured it and reduced the squeaker capabilities, it still remains intact, interesting, and play-worthy. It has been two weeks of supervised play since our purchase, and he has still not opened it up." — Angela 13. An elevated dog bed to keep your pup cool, comfortable, and OFF your designer rug. It features a sturdy, powder-coated steel frame and a breathable, fabric sleeping surface that resists sagging over time. Whether indoor lounging or outdoor sunbathing, this bed ensures your dog reigns like the king or queen they are. Promising review:"I've bought these beds for several years, and my crew loves them! I have a large size so they can double up and nap together and two smaller beds so they have their own space. The beds are great for summer as the material is breathable (like a tight mesh) and doesn't hold heat like a plush bed. In cold weather, I put a blanket on top, and it keeps them toasty warm. I especially like that the design is similar to a cot and keeps them off the ground. Easy to assemble, great concept, lasts for years, and can be used indoors and outdoors." — Cheryl 14. An interactive puzzle toy here to turn mealtime into a brain-boosting game for your pup. With over 100 treat compartments, it encourages your dog to problem-solve while slowing down their eating pace — keeping them mentally stimulated AND preventing them from gulping down their food too quickly. Promising review:"I have four young kids and lots of puppies and young dogs. We volunteer with a service dog organization, so I am constantly bringing new dogs into my house. I typically do frozen slow feeders to buy myself some extra time keeping the dog busy at meal time. This thing buys me a solid 45 minutes. The ridges are high enough to keep all of the food in, and the dog can only lick it out, but low enough, they get a tiny bit with each lick, so it keeps them going at it. I use regular kibble and just pour water on it, or my favorite is soaking kibble in water, blending it, and pouring that into the lickin layers, then freezing it. The three layers also separate for easy cleaning." — Mary 15. A giggle ball that emits a playful giggle sounds when nudged, enticing your dog to chase, pounce, and play. Designed with six clutch pockets, it's easy for dogs of all sizes to pick up and carry. Made from flexible, durable, and pet-safe phthalate-free vinyl, it's perfect for both indoor and outdoor play. Now your dog can have their fun while you sip that well-earned glass of wine!!!! Depending on your dog's size and strength of their chew, they can potentially chew through this hard plastic, so keep an eye on their playtime! Promising review:"When Wayne first heard the noise this ball made he wasn't sure about it, but it very quickly has become his favorite toy!!! If he hears it in his sleep, he immediately jumps up and is ready to play! Wayne is part pit and a super chewer, and he has destroyed every toy we have gotten for him, most within minutes. He has had his Wiggle Wag Giggle ball for six months, and he plays with it daily. He can get it in his mouth, but he can't chew on it. It shoots out across the floor, and he's off to chase it again. We love to take it to the basement, where he can just go wild and crash into everything with it or chase it at the dog park. If I could give this one 10 stars, I would!!! It was totally worth the money!!! I ordered a second one for a friend whose dog has destroyed all her toys. Hoping it will work as well for her because every dog needs at least one toy that doesn't immediately break!" — Lori 16. A package of freeze-dried beef liver treats guaranteed to have your pup sitting, staying, and rolling over without you even asking. These single-ingredient, protein-packed morsels are made from 100% pure beef liver, delivering a flavor that makes tails wag uncontrollably. 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 obsessed! 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 17. An elevated dog feeder outfitted with three different heights that'll grow with your pup and keep mealtime messes OFF your beautifully preserved hardwood floors. Its sleek design complements your modern aesthetic, and the removable stainless steel bowls are dishwasher-safe for easy cleanup. Promising review:"My dog loves this. She is getting a little bit older and has the beginnings of hip dysplasia, so elevating her bowls certainly makes eating and drinking water easier for her." — Beverly Price: $17.23 (originally $30.95) 18. Or, a fun slow feeder you can use to turn dinner into a puzzle — because scarfing kibble in 30 seconds flat is so pre-DINKWAD. This swirly, maze-like design encourages your dog to eat at a healthier pace, helping reduce bloating and indigestion while doubling as a little mental enrichment moment. It's dishwasher-safe, comes in a bunch of cute colors, and honestly? It just looks WAY cooler than a basic bowl. Promising review:"My dachshund is a total scrounge. Typically, she inhales her dinners and does a few 'coughs/sneezes/chokes' immediately after she finishes eating. I was told to buy her a raised food dish and water bowl so I did that, but the coughing thing continued! I decided to try this specific, purple, slow feeder for her about two weeks ago. SHE WAS LIVID. The slow feeder forces her to eat slower and it's like a dog food puzzle, she has to think while she eats, lol not just mindlessly demolishing her dinner. This was an awesome purchase!! She isn't hacking up a lung after she eats anymore! I bought the blue, swirly version of this feeder for my puppy as well. Now she is a FAST eater — I'm surrounded, lol." — Michelle 19. A calming fuzzy donut bed so soft and cozy, they'll be sinking into blissful comfort day after day, night after night. It features soft, shaggy faux fur designed to remind your pet of their mother's coat, providing a soothing and secure environment. Its round shape and plush walls offer head and neck support, making it perfect for dogs who love to curl up. Plus, it's machine washable and dryer safe!! Promising review:"We purchased this bed after seeing the one our daughter bought for her fur baby. We are so glad we did! This is the perfect bed for our mini-Aussie, who struggles with a little anxiety at times. This bed is so soft that it seems to cuddle him when he's in it. While he does have other beds to use, this is his preferred choice, especially during thunderstorms. I was a little concerned with the light color, but I've found it is really easy to disassemble and wash. Just make sure that you don't use fabric softener; it doesn't need it, and it can alter the wonderful fabric." — Karen 20. A refillable dog treat dispenser toy made from non-toxic, BPA- and phthalate-free natural rubber, ensuring a safe chewing experience. Its innovative design features slots on the top to prevent drool from pooling and a weighted base to minimize tipping, making treat time less messy. You can fill it with pre-made Pupsicle Pops, providing up to 40 minutes of entertainment (which is great for your hassle-free lifestyle). Promising review:"Our Lab mix has always suffered from anxiety, fear, aggression with strangers, and breaks in routine. We ordered this product after seeing several ads on our social media. He LOVES it, and so do we! Super easy to clean and refill, long-lasting, and the treat refills don't smell bad like other dog treats! Our sweet boy recently began to lose mobility in his rear end and gets super upset when he is unable to get around independently; this gives him the comfort he needs to just relax and lie down while enjoying a treat!" — Elizabeth 21. A sliding sushi-themed puzzle for the dog who envies their DINKWAD parents weekly sushi order! This adorable contraption is here to turn snack time into a brain-teasing game, encouraging your dog to use their nose and paws to uncover tasty rewards hidden beneath the sushi. Chewy Promising review:"My dog really likes this game. She figured it out pretty quickly, pushing the sushi out of the way with her nose, but loves finding the small training treats I put in each spot. It's now our daily play time event. Easy to clean as well." — Teresa 22. A practically indestructible Kong chew toy great for stuffing with your dog's favorite treats, providing mental stimulation and helping to alleviate boredom. Its unpredictable bounce adds an extra element of fun during playtime. Chewy Promising review:"I have three dogs, two Australian Shepherds and one smaller terrier. Every night they look forward to their Kong. They get stuffed with chicken, quinoa, green beans, and banana. Then I freeze them. I usually make enough for a week, that's 21 Kongs if I'm lucky I can figure out how to make it stretch for 10 days. They know when it's time for their appetizer and they get to their places and wait expectantly. When they're done, they go in the dishwasher to await their next filling. These are a great item and they keep my dogs happy." — Lorie 23. A level-two difficulty Hide N Slide puzzle featuring sliding compartments and hidden treat cavities, helping curb unwanted behaviors like excessive chewing or barking and of course, good ole canine boredom. Chewy Promising review:"Love this! You put either kibble or bits of treats in the holes and slide over the cover. It gives my dog a challenge to find and eat the treat, and it takes her a bit of time to get all the holes emptied, yet it is very doable for them to figure it out. They move the slider cover with their nose, and I like the stimulation it gives them." — Nora 24. A Nylabone variety pack you can use to guide your new fur baby through the teething trenches without sacrificing your favorite shoes. This trio includes a soft, textured chew for soothing those sore gums, a durable chew to instill positive chewing habits as they grow, and a tasty, edible chew treat for a well-deserved reward. Each piece is designed to cater to different stages of your puppy's development, making the teething phase a bit more bearable for both of you. Chewy Promising review:"These were good price for the quality and quantity. My puppy absolutely loves to chew on them. It has helped with her teething, as well as something to play with." — Monique Price: $19.97 (originally $25.99; includes six pieces) 25. A PetSafe automatic feeder for the dog who treats every mealtime like it's the season finale of Top Chef. With this, they'll be dining on a tight schedule — even when you're working late or sneaking off for a weekend getaway. Chewy Promising review:"Loving the freedom and reliability so far with this product. The feeder is broad therefore it won't tip over and the dog can't pry it to advance the feeder. So far very happy with this product." — K9Gracie Price: $54.99+ (originally $64.99+; available in three sizes) 26. And, a gravity water dispenser for the pup who believes hydration is a full-time job. This self-replenishing water station ensures your dog's bowl is always brimming, so they can sip to their heart's content while you tackle your busy schedule. Chewy Promising review:"With three cats and a dog, having several water bowls and checking to make sure they're full was not working for me. This is a nice, wide bowl that is easy to fill. Everyone loves it and uses it. Sometimes they line up, like they're waiting for their turn at the watering hole, lol. No issues with slime or spillage." — Theresa Price: $24.99 27. A Petcube 360 Wi-Fi camera because you can't resist checking in on your furry friend during Zoom meetings. With two-way audio and night vision, you can see, hear, and chat with your pup 24/7. Who needs work-life boundaries anyway?? Woof. Chewy Promising review:"I have enjoyed this camera so far — I use it to check in on my pup throughout the day. I don't have the subscription for it, because I mostly check in hourly on my pup. I will say that I'm not too big on the sounds part of the camera, like me listening in or when I'm talking through the phone as it sounds like when a microphone on stage goes out of tune. I just use it for surveillance so I give it four stars." — Chewy Customer Price: $37.59 (originally $52.99) Reviews have been edited for length and/or clarity.

Listen Up, Pet Owners — These 27 Helpful Chewy Products Are Just For You
We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. Life with your pet companion is about to get a whole lot easier. 1. A refillable dog treat dispenser toy you can fill with homemade snacks or premade Pupsicle Pops because this will keep your doggo occupied while you sit through your Zoom meetings. Chewy Promising review:"Our Lab mix has always suffered from anxiety, fear, aggression with strangers, and breaks in routine. We ordered this product after seeing several ads on our social media. He LOVES it, and so do we! Super easy to clean and refill, long-lasting, and the treat refills don't smell bad like other dog treats! Our sweet boy recently began to lose mobility in his rear end and gets super upset when he is unable to get around independently; this gives him the comfort he needs to just relax and lie down while enjoying a treat!" — Elizabeth 2. A chic cactus scratching post so pretty it looks like a piece of decor rather than a way for your kitty to get their energy out. Chewy Promising review: "I'm happy I got this scratching post. I needed a scratching post that my big orange cat wouldn't pull over when he used it. Not only is the tall cactus a good size for him, but the base is wide (and heavy) enough that it stays standing when he uses it. Putting the pieces together was easy. It only took a few minutes. As a bonus, while most scratching posts are ugly, this one is not. I wish more cat furniture was this cute and not embarrassing to have out on display in my house." — jenmb 3. A jar of Zesty Paws Aller-Immune Bites for dogs which are packed with wild-caught Alaskan salmon and probiotics to keep your pup's immune in tip-top shape in between vet visits. Chewy Promising review:"My dog Charlie scratches and chews all over himself almost constantly. Since putting him on this chew daily, his symptoms have greatly reduced. He has only been using the product for a week, and every day shows improvement. I'm hoping in a few days, he'll be symptom-free. Furthermore, he thinks he's getting a daily treat and is so excited when I offer him his daily dose. I highly recommend Aller-Immune Bites!" – Charlie 4. An engaging jumbler ball if your dog has seemingly endless energy (but you don't). This will surely tire him out and give you a second to just ~chill out.~ Chewy Promising review:"Toy is an entertaining, nice squeaker. Our German shepherd plays with this for hours. The toy is challenging to pick up and carry. All of which helps our high energy German shepherd burn off energy." — Tracy 5. An orthopedic cat and dog bed with a removable, machine-washable cover and a wraparound bolster your furry friends will absolutely love snuggling up in. Promising review:"I bought the XL bed for my 55-pound husky mix. My dog prefers the bolster-style bed for prime cuddling sessions. The quality is top-notch. The center is extremely soft, and the structure of the bed is rigid enough to support my pup all day without feeling like plastic. Overall, this bed exceeded all my needs. He now has a bed in every room, and this one is by far his favorite." — DoYouHaveChangeForADollar 6. A sliding sushi-themed puzzle for the dog who is super restless and gets bored easily. This will keep them occupied long enough for you to maybe even get some work done of your own! Chewy Promising review:"Our dog quickly figured out how to get treats out of this puzzle toy, but it is so handy because he loves it, and it calms him and occupies him whenever we leave. Love this!" — Linmarpie 7. A cat harness with extra-strong Velcro made from a comfortable cotton if your kitty is an explorer and wants to go out with you and see the whole wide world! LauraJo / Chewy Promising review:"My 20-week-old kitten and I love this harness. It is very well made, attractive, easy to put on, and very secure. He would wear it all day if I let him!" — Lynda 8. A nonskid slow-feeder bowl because your puppy may be known to scarf down the food a little too fast and accidentally make themselves sick. Promising review:"Our Zoey was a fast eater. By fast, I mean her food was gone in less than a minute. As she aged, we noticed her vomiting and belching more, in part because she was eating so fast. Once we purchased this bowl, it forced her to slow down. It was perfect for our needs. She is enjoying her food, has stopped belching after eating, and we have not had any vomiting issues." — Robyn 9. A package of Greenies Pill Pocket treats so giving your dog their meds doesn't have to be a traumatic experience for either of you. I give these to my Chiweenie, and she loves them! A lot of reviewers compliment these pill pockets for picky dogs and cats that haven't responded as well to other brands. Promising review:"Two of my dogs require medication on a daily basis. There is no way I can manually try to force these meds. I tried another reputable brand of pill pockets, and they worked for a couple of days until my dogs realized that there were pills in them, so I decided to try Greenies Pill Pockets. First of all, the consistency of the pocket was easy to form over the pill. Then came the test of flavor. My dogs love breakfast and dinnertime now that they get the Greenie treat. They don't even blink. I love these!" — Cisco 10. An immune-boosting tincture reviewers swear by for boosting their dogs', cats', and birds' immune systems to keep them nice 'n' healthy. Promising review:"I do medications at our local shelter, and a few years ago, our vet recommended DMG for our elderly cats as an immune-booster, so I was familiar with it. My almost 18-year-old Persian had developed many growths on her back over the past several years that were non-cancerous but were weeping a sebaceous fluid. I started using DMG at my vet's recommendation, and after two surgeries to remove most of the growths, I can say that none have come back, and the few small ones she does have have not increased in size! I give her 0.5 mL once a day in the morning with a small amount of wet food. I would highly recommend DMG if you want to boost your pet's immune system." — Anne 11. A hip health and joint-function supplement fortified with glucosamine, chondroitin, and MSM if your doggy has arthritis and needs a little pain relief. Chewy Promising review:"My almost 6-year-old longhaired dachshund has had mild arthritis since she was a baby. I noticed she was having difficulty ambulating. She could no longer go upstairs with me, nor could she step up/off small curbs while walking. I knew this product worked in humans and thought I would try it with my pup. Wow! In one week, she's climbing stairs, jumping on/off curbs, and able to walk further. I give her two soft chews, and they work beautifully. Very affordable at Chewy. I will continue to keep my baby on this product." — Minnie 12. A styptic powder for dogs, cats, and birds that'll help your buddy stop bleeding from minor cuts and scrapes. It's great for superficial scrapes and cuts, and this product has no alcohol, so it won't cause unnecessary stinging. Promising review:"This is a must-have in our pet first-aid kit. We keep this on hand for nail trims as well as if one of our pets gets a cut. It aids in stopping the bleeding, and I highly recommend having it on hand at all times. We have rabbits, chickens, dogs, and cats — it's safe for all of them." — Diona 13. A practically indestructible Kong chew toy you can fill with your dog's favorite treat so they can get all their energy out and enjoy a lil' snack at the same time. Promising review:"Being on the market like forever just might be the proof dog owners need to actually buy this toy. It comes in all dog sizes and has a lot of potential. For my rescue dog, it doesn't need to be stuffed with treats or peanut butter (too fattening). She loves it for the erratic bouncing action. A regular ball bores the heck out of her. Plus, she's exercising more muscle groups, trying to grab a hold of it. And the Kong is about as indestructible as they come. Buy it once and wait 'til the end of days before it wears out." — Stephen 14. A level-two difficulty Hide N Slide puzzle perfect for the pup who has little to no experience with puzzles. This is a great way to introduce your dog to the world of puzzling! Chewy Promising review:"Love this! You put either kibble or bits of treats in the holes and slide over the cover. It gives my dog a challenge to find and eat the treat, and it takes her a bit of time to get all the holes emptied, yet it is very doable for them to figure it out. They move the slider cover with their nose, and I like the stimulation it gives them." — Nora 15. A spot flea treatment for cats so your outdoor kitty can stay protected from fleas and ticks when they're out and about exploring. Promising review:"Fleas became a big problem this spring for the indoor-outdoor cat that adopted me. Unable to get him to a vet, I had to rely on over-the-counter Rx. Chewy helped me out when the first product was a bust. With Advantage, the cat stopped scratching almost immediately, and my sanity returned. It's been three weeks now, and I still see no fleas." – FurMom14 16. An artfully designed elevated cat bed so your cat's furniture doesn't clash with the very well-curated decor you have in your home. Chewy Promising review: "All three of our cats love this bed. We have more than enough cat furniture, but I purchased this because I thought the materials would be kinder to the longhairs' fur. Carpeted cat beds tend to mat their fur. This bed does not, as the materials are soft and smooth. This little bed is well made and sturdy, and the cushion is machine washable in cold water and air dry. I would purchase this again, as it is a quality product." – FoldMom 17. A parrot chew toy that's made of wooden blocks and cotton rope featuring different shapes and colors. This thing is just as vivid and unique as your bird! Chewy Promising review:"Couldn't wait to sink my beak into this colorful toy. I wish my mother would have ordered me two of them. I'm an African grey parrot and love to chew and destroy things." — Jackson 18. A Sherpa pet carrier bag with mesh panels and a spring wire frame that's approved by most airlines so your companion can travel in comfort. I have one of these for my dog, and she loves cuddling in it even when we're not traveling! It also works great for transporting other small pets, like hedgehogs, chinchillas, and bearded dragons! Promising review:"Such an improvement over the large plastic carriers I used to use. Both my cats love these bags and will hang out in them and nap in them if I leave them out after a trip. I think they're just the right size for them to feel cozy and safe. The two entry points are really handy, too. I love that they fold flat for storage, too, since my apartment is pretty small. Would highly recommend!" — Kate 19. A Fluker's ceramic heat bulb for reptiles that reviewers say does an amazing job of keeping their scaled friends nice 'n' warm. Since it doesn't emit light, it's ideal to use as a nighttime heat source, especially during the colder months. Promising review:"This item 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 20. A flavored tooth-cleaning chew toy if your dog has stinky breath and you want to trick them into taking care of their own teeth so you don't have to brush them yourself. 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 21. An automatic multi-pet feeder for the felines in your life who never seem to stop meowing for food. This will ensure that your cats do not overeat — or under-eat. Plus, you can schedule exactly when it releases food, so your cats won't get annoyed at a late mealtime. Promising review:"I originally bought a single bowl version of this and was very happy with it. The only problem was that the more dominant cats would eat all of the food every time, and the others would get little, if any. I bought this two-bowl feeder to keep downstairs and moved the other one upstairs. I timed the meals to drop at the same time so everyone gets fed. This has been a lifesaver for feeding our cats because three of them simply cannot free feed responsibly. Everyone is now back to a healthy weight and I also don't have to worry when I go on overnight trips. The battery backup works great!" — Meghan 22. A set of carpeted pet stairs because some of the shorter doggies may have trouble getting up and down off of the couch or bed. Chewy Promising review:"I bought this step for one of our cats who can no longer jump up on the bed due to age, and it works like a charm. He took to it right away and is one happy kitty! These steps are well constructed and sturdy." — Shaunda Price: $54.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors) 23. A pair of cat nail covers if you love your kitty more than anything in the whole world, but you also love your furniture and don't want them to absolutely destroy it with their scratches. Fay09 / Chewy, Clark / Chewy This set includes 20 nail covers and glue. Promising reviews:"I finally decided to try these caps, and they are the best ever! I put them on myself and have only replaced one in two and a half weeks. Plus, the rainbow nails are styling!" — pearlsmommy Price: $11.99+ (available in five sizes, 15 colors, and packs of 20 or 40) 24. A silicone food bowl mat for the furry friend who makes a huge mess any time they eat, and you want to make cleanup a little easier. Yahaira81 / Chewy Promising review:"Both of my cats like to pick up their wet food nuggets and drop them several inches away from the bowl before picking them back up and eating them. I tried wider bowls to relieve whisker tension, but they still dragged the moist morsels away like it was freshly snagged prey. This mat is large enough that they can't drag it too far away and get my floors messy. Perfect solution. I don't put it in the dishwasher, but clean up is still super easy with a soapy paper towel, then quick rinse." — Dani Price: $13.99+ (available in two sizes and two colors) 25. A container of calming chicken-flavored hemp treats that are perfect for the doggy who gets panicked when traveling or during thunderstorms. Loki / Chewy Promising review:"My Great Dane calms down and remains calm to the point of falling asleep. One piece does the trick with her, but two really knock her out. She is just over 100 pounds. You get a lot of treats in one container, so don't balk at the price. Yes, sometimes thunder or the garbage truck makes her bark or wake, but she rarely even gets off the couch if she has had one or two of these. Worth every penny in my book." — MJBoyer8118 Price: $4.99+ (available in three sizes and two flavors) 26. A waterproof car seat cover if you love taking your pet hiking or to the beach, but your furry bestie ends up bringing back tons of mud and sand. Chewy The heavy-duty polyester cover is machine washable. Promising review:"This puts my mind at ease. I know my puppy gets excited and may tinkle a little, but these covers keep my seats clean and protected! Easy to put on, take off, and wash. Did I mention it looks great in my car?" — Blue Price: $47.99+ (available in two sizes) 27. And finally, a Zesty Paws Itch-Soother dog shampoo that's packed with aloe vera, oatmeal, and vitamin E to help your pooch with dry, flaky skin. Chewy Promising review:"We used to use a popular name brand for our dog's shampoo. She never had any skin issues until last winter, when she got super flaky. We switched her to this shampoo and started giving her skin vitamins. This shampoo really helps moisturize her skin without leaving a weird odor, and a little goes a long way during bath time. It was definitely a great purchase!" — mm13 Price: $15.47 (also available in a two-pack) The reviews for this post have been edited for length and clarity.

We hope you love our recommendations! Some may have been sent as samples, but all were independently selected by our editors. Just FYI, BuzzFeed and its publishing partners may collect a share of sales and/or other compensation from the links on this page. These will tire your pup out, so maaayybeee you'll have time to get some of your own stuff done. 1. A knot tug that comes in an extra-large and colossal size if your doggy loves a game of tug-of-war and they've destroyed pretty much all of their other toys. Chewy Promising review:"I got this rope for my pug puppy, who loves to tear everything up since he's teething, and what a win! This is now his favorite toy. Thick, great quality, and bigger than expected." — Pugcellentmommy 2. A volcano and dinosaur hide-and-seek toy your pup will have so much fun taking apart. Plus, it's also a squeaky toy, so they will have the added bonus of auditory stimulation. Chewy, Linda / Chewy Promising review:"My dog loves these toys, and he was thrilled. He just kept pulling out dinosaur after dinosaur! Six of them, and all of them decently sized. This really is a great value, and the toys are very well made and adorable." — Taylor Price: $14.99 3. A baseball stadium hide-and-seek toy so your doggy can practice their detective skills. Hide the balls around the yard and watch your furry bestie track them down and bring them back. Chewy Promising review:"My dogs have enjoyed all of their Frisco toys, and this one has been especially fun. Love that the baseballs can be hidden for hide and seek but also roll for a good game of fetch. Seeing him leap and twist in the air to catch the baseball with his mouth has been so much fun! Once they chew it to pieces, I will definitely rebuy it if it's still available." — Chewy Reviewer 4. A refillable dog treat dispenser toy you can fill with homemade snacks or premade Pupsicle Pops because this will keep your doggo occupied while you sit through your Zoom meetings. Chewy Promising review:"Our Lab mix has always suffered from anxiety, fear, aggression with strangers, and breaks in routine. We ordered this product after seeing several ads on our social media. He LOVES it, and so do we! Super easy to clean and refill, long-lasting, and the treat refills don't smell bad like other dog treats! Our sweet boy recently began to lose mobility in his rear end and gets super upset when he is unable to get around independently; this gives him the comfort he needs to just relax and lie down while enjoying a treat!" — Elizabeth 5. An engaging jumbler ball if your dog has seemingly endless energy (but you don't). This will surely tire him out and give you a second to just ~chill out.~ Chewy Promising review:"Toy is entertaining, nice squeaker. Our German shepherd plays with this for hours. The toy is challenging to pick up and carry. All of which helps our high energy German shepherd burn off energy." — Tracy 6. A sliding sushi-themed puzzle for the dog who is super restless and gets bored easily. This will keep them occupied long enough for you to maybe even get some work done of your own! Chewy 7. A practically indestructible Kong chew toy you can fill with your dog's favorite treat so they can get all their energy out and enjoy a lil' snack at the same time. Chewy Promising review:"Being on the market like forever just might be the proof dog owners need to actually buy this toy. It comes in all dog sizes and has a lot of potential. For my rescue dog, it doesn't need to be stuffed with treats or peanut butter (too fattening). She loves it for the erratic bouncing action. A regular ball bores the heck out of her. Plus, she's exercising more muscle groups, trying to grab a hold of it. And the Kong is about as indestructible as they come. Buy it once and wait 'til the end of days before it wears out." — Stephen 8. A plush picnic basket with four stuffed toys, squeakers, and crinkles — how can your dog NOT love playing with this?! Chewy Promising review:"An immediate hit with my pup right out of the box, who's all about crinkly squeaky toys. Plus, the basket is durable enough to play tug with and will be a good place to stash some treats for her to sniff out. Incredibly noisy, but she's delighted, and this will easily keep her entertained while I'm at work." — Quinn 9. A rubber football treat dispenser that's bouncy, durable, and is sure to get you a touchdown for being the best dog parent in the whole world. Chewy Promising review: "We've had this toy for a couple of months now with no damage, which is a win in my book! It's very easy to push treats of many different sizes into it but fairly difficult for the dogs to get out, which is always the goal here. Definitely recommend." – Blix 10. A pet toy duo that includes a Goofy tug toy and a Pluto squeaky bottle toy, if you're a Disney adult and you want your puppy to join in on the magic. Tap to play GIF 11. And a Toy Story aliens rope toy so your dog can feel like "The Claw" from the movie. And look how freaking CUTE these little guys are! Chewy, Laura / Chewy 12. A hide-and-seek hedgehog puzzle with three squeaky plushies your pup will have so much fun digging in to get the little furry pals to come out of their den. Promising review: "This has become the new favorite for my 3-year-old Chihuahua. This is our first experience with a puzzle so I was not sure what to expect. Not only did he immediately figure out how to pull the animals out of the den and love it, but he also loved to play with the soft, squeaky animals separately. The price and quality are great. Just one recommendation: order extra hedgehogs if you have a killer like mine." — Finn 13. A large and tough treat-dispensing chew ball if you may spoil your pup a little too much by giving them treats constantly. With this, they'll have to actually work to get to the treats! (Also, I just have to say there is no such thing as spoiling your dog too much). LoveLabradors / Chewy Promising review:"We use this every day (sometimes two times a day) to feed our 10-month-old puppy his breakfast. It takes him about 30 minutes to eat 1 cup of kibble from it as we did not trim anything in the holes to make it easier. He loves his 'breakfast ball' and it works great as a slow feeder/mental stimulation/keeps him occupied while we get ready. Such a great toy!!!" — Gus 14. A scientist-themed strategy game if you feel like your doggy is secretly an evil genius, and they could use a little extra stimulation so they can work through all their evil plans. Chewy Promising review:"I have dogs who are not interested in toys, and they need something to stimulate their little brains! I bought this thinking it would be a good game for them. I just got it so they are still figuring it out (which is good, not too easy). I like that it came with suggestions on how to encourage your dog to learn it, and there are different lids, so once he figures out how to turn the cylinder over, that is not the end of the learning options. It didn't cost a lot, and I think they will benefit from using it (plus it is fun to watch them try to figure it out)." — Heather 15. A Wobble Wag Giggle ball made of durable pet-safe vinyl that makes super weird noises that, yes, can be extremely annoying, but your pup will loooove it. This is great to leave for your dog when you're out for the day so they don't get bored (and you don't have to be annoyed by the noises). Chewy Promising review:"My husky loves this toy. It's become his favorite. He sometimes gets frustrated when the kids aren't around, so he takes out his emotions on it, or when he's happy to see someone, he'll bring the toy. I play fight with him, and he loves it. He has stopped digging the yard also since this will keep him entertained. He is unable to break the toy, but he can grab it. I'd say it's for big dogs." — Chewy reviewer 16. A level-two difficulty Hide N Slide puzzle perfect for the pup who has little to no experience with puzzles. This is a great way to introduce your dog to the world of puzzling! Chewy Promising review:"Love this! You put either kibble or bits of treats in the holes and slide over the cover. It gives my dog a challenge to find and eat the treat, and it takes her a bit of time to get all the holes emptied, yet it is very doable for them to figure it out. They move the slider cover with their nose, and I like the stimulation it gives them." — Nora 17. A roller dog toy perfect for some indoor activity. It's soft, so you can play fetch with your dog inside without worrying about accidentally breaking anything. Chewy, Katie / Chewy 18. A set of plush toys featuring all your favorite fast food staples because even though your dog really shouldn't eat fast food, they can still play with it, right? Chewy Promising review:"Perfect Christmas gift for my 8-year-old boxer/pit mix (his FAVORITE food is a burger). He took each toy carefully out of the box, and carried them around, and hid them in his bed. Very good quality and soft for his mouth. I was so happy to find these for him!!" — CatLady 19. A West Paw chew toy made of a special nontoxic Zogoflex material — that is BPA-, phthalate-, and latex-free — your dog will love chewing on, and that won't damage their teeth like some plastic chew toys might. Shegro / Chewy, Catt / Chewy Promising review:"I have five dogs. One is a pit mix who destroys all chew toys in the house and has broken teeth on toys that were too hard (more money spent at the vet). My others don't get their chewing needs met because other toys are either destroyed so quickly or removed to protect my busy pit, but THESE toys last months. They are not so hard to hurt my strong chewer's teeth, and all my dogs love them! My pups stay occupied for hours on end with these. I ordered five large and my home became the happiest home on the planet. Definitely worth the money. Also, both Chewy and West Paw have such EXCELLENT customer service that you can't go wrong. Thank you, Chewy!" — Sharls 20. A flavored tooth-cleaning chew toy if your dog has stinky breath and you want to trick them into taking care of their own teeth so you don't have to brush them yourself. 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 21. A puppy tire that'll get your furry pal tired as they attempt to get the treats out of the built-in treat dispenser — or from the long walks you're taking them on! Chewy
