39 Amazon Pet Products Our Readers Are Loving In 2025
A set of mini tear stain combs for when the fur around your dog's eyes is getting crusty and tangled and you're looking for a gentle and easy way to remove the built-up goop without having to actually... touch it yourself. A flopping fish toy that starts wiggling around when touched, which is sure to hold the attention of your cat or dog! A lovely-smelling and powerful odor-eliminating spray if you've spent forever scrubbing away at pet messes, but *still* can't seem to get rid of the odor. Simply spray this stuff for a fast and low-effort solution! And when it's done, it'll leave behind the scent of fresh-squeezed oranges instead of irritating chemicals. A reusable pet hair remover for anyone who can never seem to get all of their pet's fur off of their clothes and furniture. Just roll it over your fuzz-covered item of choice, and watch it lift the fur RIGHT OFF. Then simply dump out and reuse — no more annoying sticky papers like other lint rollers! A Honeydew soothing oatmeal shampoo that uses lavender, aloe vera, oats, and jojoba to give your dog's fur a deep clean that'll leave them smelling nice, while moisturizing their skin to avoid dryness and itchiness. A Lamb Chop plush toy your pooch will love as much as '90s kids loved the OG sock puppet version! It's super soft and fuzzy, making it a great snuggle buddy for your pup, but it also squeaks if they'd rather toss it around during playtime! And a popular squeaky Gumby chew toy if you wanna keep the '90s kids theme going (even though older folks will remember Gumby from their childhoods too)! It has a huge number of five star reviews from pet owners whose doggos love how flexible and plush this cute little toy is. A mounted catnip ball so your feline friends can enjoy their favorite snack without making a mess! You can choose between a standalone ball or a board that contains a ~flight~ of balls, including silvervine, gall fruit, catnip, and cat sugar if you wanna offer your cat some variety. An all-natural dog paw wax here to help keep your pup's cute little feet from getting dry and cracked, while protecting them from hot pavement, rough terrain, lawn fertilizer, and cold snow. It's super moisturizing and soothing, without being sticky, and will make walks, trips to the park, and other adventures with your pooch much more comfortable for them! A double-layered litter mat — the top layer has holes that allow the litter to fall through to the bottom layer, making it a breeze to dump out without a mess! It'll also help keep your cat from scattering litter all over your home. A game-changing microchip pet feeder if you've got different pets with different diets who just looooove to steal each other's food, making it difficult to control their portions and prevent overeating. This feeder reads your pet's microchip (or RFID collar tag) and will unlock only for them! A pooper scooper because it's faster and easier than bending over to grab every single one of your precious pup's poops. A Cat Dancer toy no one expects their cats to love as much as they inexplicably do. Honestly, I could spend all day LOLing at the review photos. And in case you're wondering what this thing is made of that drives cats so wild... it's literally a springy steel wire and rolled up cardboard — that's it. But thousands and thousands of reviewers LOVE it *and* it's under $5, so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. A portable and reusable gel lint roller ball with a brilliant design that makes it easy to toss in your bag or pocket when on the go. This little thing is super effective at removing hair, lint, crumbs, and dust from clothes, carpets, and furniture — which is particularly handy if you have pets. It's also a breeze to clean and reuse, so you don't have to keep spending money on wasteful lint rollers. An immunity-boosting allergy supplement for doggos that get extra itchy. Reviewers say these can help boost the immune system and relieve allergies and skin sensitivities. Some Bissell Stomp & Go Cleaning Pads — simply stomp on them to release a powerful cleaning formula capable of banishing tough, set-in stains from pet messes, as well as wine, mud, coffee, blood, and more so you can keep your carpets looking new — without a lot of elbow grease. A pack of health-monitoring pee pads that react to your dog's urine pH and turn red or blue if they have a UTI or are dehydrated, so that you can tell at a glance how your furry friend is feeling. Each pad has six layers, designed to quickly absorb liquid, while neutralizing odor and preventing leaks. A Levoit air purifier with a HEPA filter loved by reviewers dealing with allergies, asthma, or just plain ol' bad smells! It uses a three-stage filtration system to help rid the air of allergens, pet hair, dander, smoke, mold, odor, large dust particles, and 99.97% of airborne contaminants as small as 0.3 microns so you can keep breathin' easy in your space even if it's full of pets. An indestructible rubber hot dog for all the aggressive chewers out there who tear through toys faster than you can buy them. It has a mild squeak that'll entertain your dog without annoying everyone, and the food-grade, natural rubber can withstand serious chomping without damaging your doggo's teeth. A purr pillow — it emits a calming purring sound when touched that'll help ease stress and separation anxiety in cats. Your kitty will love snuggling with this soft, high-quality plush toy. Plus, it's easy to remove the purring mechanism, so you can simply machine wash the outer shell! A snout soother that'll help keep your dog's nose from getting dry, cracked, and crusty. This powerful, lick-safe balm will moisturize your pup's snoot so every boop is nice and soft no matter how hot, dry, or cold the air is. Promising review: "Well, I have never before been so shocked at the effectiveness of a product. Our 5-year-old Frenchie, Carol, had a nose that was so crusty it was sprouting these long strands of more crust. There was literally crust on crust on crust. The nose had strings of crust. This nose was so crusty and repulsive it was almost beautiful. Her nose might have resembled the rarest, most exotic geode to be mined from the rarest mine in Guatemala. A friend recommended Snout Soother for Carol's repulsive nose. I was worried she would just lick it all off and it wouldn't work. We never imagined she could have a regular, soft, moist nose again. Honestly this product is some black magic stuff! Unbelievable results in three to five days. No one paid me to write this." —BrittanyPrice: $6.49 A hair-removing glove, 1) you'll love because it easily picks up a whole bunch of hair that otherwise would've been dispersed all around your home, and 2) your pet will love once they realize that every time you put it on, it means a luxurious petting session is about to begin. A Wet Ones dog paw scrubber to make cleaning your pet's cute lil' feet a lot more effective *and* a lot less of a hassle. It dispenses an antibacterial foam that makes it easy for the attached scrubber to remove debris before it ends up tracked all over your house. All you've gotta do is squeeze out the foam, gently massage your pet's feet with the scrubber, and you're done! No rinsing necessary! A pet urine stain–removing spray perfect for pet owners who are desperate to remove spots and smells, both old and new. Simply spray and let the enzymes gobble up all the gross stuff you don't feel like spending forever scrubbing away at. Then just blot and let air dry, and you can cross it off your to-do list! A handy device that keeps track of whether or not the dog has been fed, in case the days are starting to blur together and you can barely even remember if you fed yourself today. The *Pet Deluxe* version of Bissel's ever-popular Little Green upholstery cleaner — it'll make disastrous-seeming pet stains and odors look (and smell) like they never happened, thanks to its powerful spray and suction capabilities. Promising review: "I don't think there is anything I DON'T like about this carpet cleaner. It's small and easy to move around, the cord is plenty long, the reservoirs are quick to empty and fill, and it made my 4-year-old furniture look brand new —despite our 10-year-old who is convinced that's where he's supposed to eat. Also, I had to replace a 10' entry runner that matches my living room rug and was worried you'd see the difference. After cleaning the one in the living room, you truly can not tell! I highly worth the money!" —LJayPrice: $100 A bag of Dr. Elsey's unscented cat litter, because it actually neutralizes odors instead of covering them up with an annoying scent. Plus, it uses a hypoallergenic hard clumping clay that's way less dusty, easier to scoop, and less likely to end up strewn around your space! A pack of Arm & Hammer multipurpose wipes for when you don't have time to give your dog a full-on bath, but they could definitely use a quick refresh. These delightfully mango-scented wipes are gentle, yet powerful, and can be used on your pup's fur, paws, snout, and bottom when they're getting a little stinky! A ridiculously adorable stuffed duck — meet your precious pup's new emotional support animal that they'll absolutely adore cuddling and playing with. If your sweet pooch gets a little anxious when you're gone, this cute lil' ducky will be there to comfort them! Promising review: "Our dog gets separation anxiety (she came from a shelter so it's not too surprising). She has been known to be destructive when we leave her in the house for a while. We started using this duck as a comfort toy that she only gets when we aren't home. It's a special treat and it lets her know we are leaving but coming back. We have seen significantly less destructive behavior while using this toy so we are thrilled." —Kindle CustomerPrice: $5.39 A nail grinder that offers comfortable, pain-free nail trimming for those poor pups who get easily spooked. This has two speeds and super low noise and vibration to help minimize your dog's stress while sanding down their sharp claws quickly and easily. Or a pair of professional nail clippers for when you need extreme precision to trim the nails of your smaller pets. The ergonomic design makes them easy to use, and the sharp and sturdy blades will cut through even the toughest claws quickly, so you can play with your furry friends without ending up covered in scratches or destroying your furniture. A pair of play-'n'-squeak mice here to entice your cat with a realistic mouse sound and irresistible catnip scent, allowing them to act on their hunter instincts and get some extra mental and physical stimulation in a way that *doesn't* involve attacking your shoes, furniture, and toes! A beginner-level treat-dispensing ball that'll entertain your dog while rewarding them with treats or kibble, giving them the exercise and engagement they crave, while also helping slow down fast eaters. And a tooth-cleaning ball, because while your dog enjoys the mental and physical stimulation of playing with this bouncy puzzle ball, they'll also get a sneaky, hassle-free teeth cleaning. Add some kibble or treats into the ball if you really wanna entice your food-loving pup. Promising review: "This is probably the best dog toy I've bought for the money. The balls are sturdy and bouncy and even hold up to aggressive chewers. Also, the side slits are perfect for inserting small treats and it keeps the dogs entertained trying to pick them out. It's a play toy and treat toy in one and you cannot beat the price. I would definitely recommend this." —BethPrice: $8.29 A tube of poultry-flavored Petrodex dog toothpaste your pooch will actually like the flavor of — which is good news, because it'll also help prevent plaque buildup and keep their breath from smelling like food that's been rotting since the beginning of time. Promising review: "This toothpaste actually works! Our dog hates getting his teeth brushed, but he can actually somewhat stand it when I brush his teeth with this toothpaste. It's clear that he enjoys the taste of it because he always wants to lick the toothbrush. I started using this toothpaste for our dogs every day, twice per day, for about one week and then used a dental scraper tool, and nearly all the plaque from their teeth came off. I did NOT have to scrape very hard at all, and was very careful so I didn't harm their gums." —AprilPrice: $9.99 A custom illustration of your pet, because your furry friends deserve to be celebrated like the works of art they truly are! All you have to do is upload a photo and select your preferences for things like fonts, background colors, and frames, and then the Haus and Hues team will transform it into a stunning portrait! Promising reviews: "This is going to be my favorite Christmas gift to give out this year! The picture quality is absolutely amazing. The coloring, the sharpness, the background, the foreground… I seriously can't come up with enough compliments for this. They knocked it out of the park!" —Deb Keller"I ordered a picture with my friends 2 dogs as a gift and I'm OBSESSED with how it came out! It is so cute and I love the ability to select the different color backgrounds, frame, and font. The customer service was OUTSTANDING! I had some requests to remove collars and they were so responsive and accomodating. I just ordered another for a friend and will end up ordering for myself!!" —Jenna $14.99+ (available in framed or unframed versions) A Fur-Zoff pet hair remover that'll easily pull so much fur off your carpets, comforters, couches, and clothing, you'll wonder how this much hair even came from your pet. Promising review: "This worked wayyyyyyy better than I expected lol. I have a couch that is basically burlap, and my huskie's hair is embedded in the couch on the side she sleeps on. This little stone not only removed the hair, but it removed the balled up fabric too. It's great. I will warn you though, it's a little abrasive so I would not recommend for delicate fabrics." —Mama TPrice: $12.99 And a FURemover squeegee broom reviewers say attracts hair like a magnet. All that fur and fuzz hiding deep in your carpet is no match for this thing, and while pet hair is the focus, it'll do an impressive job cleaning up water, dirt, and dust, too. And finally, a pack of matatabi chew sticks — they're an all natural alternative to catnip for anyone who has spent way too much money on catnip toys that do little to impress your feline friend. Cats seem to really love this stuff, and it can also help maintain clean teeth! Meowy Janes is a small business based in New Egypt, New Jersey that specializes in catnip and catnip alternatives. Matatabi is a plant is native to the mountains Japan and China, and is more popular than catnip in East Asia!Promising review: "My three cuties love these! They chew on them, toss them around like toys, and I've even found them sleep with these by their sides. So I guess that means they're mommy-approved too!" —MelPrice: $10.99

In my Princesss Cruise era
Article content Reviews and recommendations are unbiased and products are independently selected. Postmedia may earn an affiliate commission from purchases made through links on this page. Article content I didn't want to do much more than lounge in a deck chair when I planned my cruise on Discovery Princess. Yes there were excursions I had to do – ride a trolly in San Francisco, visit the San Diego Zoo, and see the La Bufadora in Ensenada, Mexico, a blowhole that shoots water metres into the air several times a minute – but those outings were planned by or for my daughter. I just wanted to get away from the office, eat good food and relax. Article content Article content Article content Discovery Princess proved to be worthy of the stewardship. Full disclosure: I sailed on the Sun Princess in 2023 and knew Princess Cruises was synonymous for — luxury, indulgence, pampering, and entertainment that didn't require I get out of a cushioned seat. Yes I was going to pack on a few pounds and be catered to while sailing along the California coast down to Mexico, at times just watching the horizon dip. Article content The Lotus Spa is located on deck 5, just past customer service. I was welcomed by the sound of babbling water, offered a cucumber-infused water and given a tour by a friendly hostess. Article content Article content There are treatment rooms for: massages, facials, pedicures, manicures, wraps, exfoliating scrubs and more treatments than I needed. I was more enticed by the large hydrotherapy pool at the heart of the spa. This is The Enclave – which anyone can use even if you don't get a spa treatment. A pass is required to use The Enclave or you can get a package that allows you access every day of your cruise. Article content Article content I booked a deep-tissue massage for the next day. My massage involved a lot of kneading, and just the right amount of pressure to leave me feeling like Gumby. From the massage table I drifted to The Enclave's three steam rooms one after another. The Hammam for a steam bath, the Laconium for its dry heat and finally the Roman-inspired Caladium. By the time I dipped into the hydrotherapy pool I was stress-free and swooning. From there I gathered myself long enough to take the short steps to a heated stone lounger. Article content I vacillated in the space between basking and dozing content to soak in the heat. It was only FOMO that got me off the lounger to check on happens elsewhere onboard.
