I spend more on gifts for my dogs than I do for my (human) loved ones.

Promising review: "Our kitten really loves this. I wasn’t sure if he’d take to it, but he loves the little ball that dangles from the top. Now he has been climbing up and draping himself over the top of it. It was easy to assemble and seems to be of good quality. It also looks really cute in our home versus a typical scratching post." —Casey Roberts

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

Promising review: "My puppy is absolutely obsessed with these! The balls are easily two of his favorite toys; he’s constantly bringing them to us to play. They have the perfect bounce, which keeps him entertained for hours. Even during the toughest part of his teething phase, they’ve held up incredibly well. I also really appreciate that they aren’t too loud but are still super durable and well-made. I highly recommend these for anyone looking for a fun, sturdy toy!" —Linda Lee

Get a two-pack from Amazon for $9.94 (also available in larger quantities and other styles).

Promising review: "Purchased this for my mini dachshund puppy and she loves it. The quality is great and is holding up, though my puppy is biting and scratching. The sides of the bed are plush, and the bed itself is soft yet firm enough to be comfortable." —Amazon Customer

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in eight sizes and 18 colors).

It can also help calm your pup during fireworks, separation, travel, vet visits, grooming, and more.

Promising review: "This is a game changer for our anxious dog. He loves having this on and so far hasn’t tried to take it off." —Megan Anwar

Get it from Amazon for $39.99+ (available in sizes XXS–XXL).

Promising review: "I have a Catahoula/ridgeback, and she is a big power chewer. She played with this for hours, and it still looks brand new. The squirrels were not ripped up, nor was there a cubby. I was very surprised because she tears everything up. It's hard to find toys that will last more than 5 minutes. Thank you, Outward Hound, I'll definitely be looking into more of your products." —Crymson66

Get it from Amazon for $11.87+ (available in four sizes).

Promising review: "My orange kitty loves to find treats! I have to encourage a bit, but I bet after another month she'll have it mastered!" —S D

Promising review: "This bone will last your dog forever! Mine has had his for 6 months and works on it for 20 minutes or so a day, and has barely made any progress. It keeps him coming back, so it must have a good flavor. Bone is not very smelly, which I love as a good chewing alternative to bully sticks, which I can't stand. These are excellent value, as mine has kept my chewy dog busy for so long and is much cheaper than a $5 bone he would eat in 10 minutes. Enjoy a picture of my baby taking a snooze after a good chew session!" —N. Rizzo

Get it from Amazon for $9.14+ (available in two sizes, another shape, and in a set).

Get it from Smalls for $52 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "Fantastic! My older 4-year-old cat chews on plastic all the time, and it drives me nuts; I also have two young kittens. All three of the cats went wild for these toys and have been playing and having a blast. Hoping it stops the plastic chewing habit, but even if it doesn’t, this is an awesome toy. Small, no noise, maximum fun." —Kauffmanet

My Boston Terrier, Ethel, got a similar bone (same brand, different dino) when she was just a puppy, and she's now 11 years old. She still carries it around, sleeps with it, and chews it. She loves it so much that I even bought it in other colors, too.

Promising reviews: "We have FIVE of these because the dogs love them so much and cannot destroy them." —Aubrey M. Garcia

"This high-quality toy has been thoroughly enjoyed by my dogs. Its appropriate size and durability ensure its safety, even for my largest chewers. The toy’s design facilitates easy chewing, making it an excellent value for money. Notably, it surpasses the quality of other brands in my experience. Furthermore, the toy contributes to maintaining clean teeth, resulting in improved breath. I have been using this brand for over 25 years and have never had any issues. I appreciate that the product is odorless." —Mtmtgf

Promising review: "Oh my fun! My pup loves her yellow ball. It keeps her busy, and she has so much fun. It is safe for her to chase around, and a good size for a small dog. It stays charged for just the right amount of time to give your pup a workout." —Victoria F Berman

Get it from Amazon for $15.91 (available in two colors).

Promising review: "This has been one of the best toys I've ever bought for my young beagle. Keeps him busy in the evening before bedtime, and it doesn't overstimulate him while he works on it. I do not have to worry about him choking on this like with bully sticks.

I bought another one for my senior dog; she was jealous that he had something so interesting. 😁 She enjoys hers also. I looked up all the things you can use in it. So many." —Lolee Gon

Get it from Amazon for $19.85+ (available in three sizes and colors).

Promising review: "My puppy loves this! Great interactive way to feed her. She has a lot of energy, and this is a way to tire her out and keep her busy." —Christine

Get it from Amazon for $11.98+ (available in four colors and two other styles).

Promising review: "My pup and I are loving this carrier! I bought this carrier initially because, from the visuals, it seemed that the design was very clever and the materials were durable compared to lots of overpriced competitors. And it did not disappoint! That's exactly what we got: great look, quality construction, and pockets for everything you need. My dog loves it and feels so comfortable in it. We may need to collect more colorways eventually!" —Tara & Sam

Get it from Cleverpup for $120+ (available in two sizes and four colors; personalization is available for an additional fee!).

Promising review: "I LOVE this pet backpack!! I have a maltipoo (my lovely little fur baby), and she likes to come with me everywhere. Now I can take her hiking on trails with me. 😊 The backpack is so roomy but not bulky, a win! There are two small zipped side pockets, perfect for two water bottles. There is a harness buckle to keep your little one from falling out. I walked with the flap open so she could stand, sit, and be nosey. She was perfectly safe the entire 3-mile hike." —The busiest woman you know

Get it from Amazon for $24.99+ (available in seven colors).

Promising review: "Absolutely love this fleece. Buying another in blue. I live in Boston with a cold-sensitive pit bull, and this makes the perfect base layer! He’s been much more willing to go outside since I started putting this on him. Also easy for him to go potty in it. Would recommend sizing up for bully breeds, though, as it is a bit snug on the chest. He is a 60-pound pit with a 29-inch chest and 21-inch long torso wearing a size 20 if that helps!" —Gabrielle C.

Note: Sizing for this sweater is a little different! To get the right size, choose the size that's equal to the length, in inches, of your pup's back from the shoulder blades to the base of their tail.

Get it from Wagwear for $75 (available in sizes 8–24 and six colors).

Promising review: "Easy to put on. Fits well. Looks awesome and keeps my boy snug, dry, and warm." —Delores Y.

Note: sizing is based on back length and chest girth. Size up if you want to layer other jackets or sweaters under the snowsuit.

Get it from Canada Pooch for $67 (available in sizes 8–32 and three colors).

Promising review: "My parrot loves the vibrant colors! She's encouraged to chew and keeps her beak naturally trimmed." —Fran

Promising review: "Great quality. Keeps our pup warm, easy to toss on, and more convenient than a separate puffer and harness. The quality vs. other cheaper brands is apparent, and our dog is much more comfortable wearing this than two separate pieces that would make the coat tighter or clunkier. Everyone asks who makes his coat, and I happily share it. Pricey but completely happy with this." —American 1.

Get it from Canada Pooch for $75 (available in sizes 8–28 and three colors).

Promising review: "My bearded dragon enjoys her sleep at night SO much more now because of this heat emitter. I am so happy I got it for her. As soon as I switch her bulb out for this, she closes her eyes and knows it's bedtime lol! I did not bother to buy a second dome; I just switched back and forth between her light and this heat emitter every night and morning. I use a towel to unscrew it (proceed with caution because they are 100 degrees Fahrenheit!) It's awesome that she can still get her heat and be able to sleep at night peacefully." —Taylor LG

Promising review: "My cats love this fountain. Not only does it keep the water circulating and clean, but it's also a fun way for our cats to drink. Very quiet and a mild light coming off it. A great cat fountain all around." —Steve b.

Get it from Amazon for $19.99+ (available in three sizes).

One of my dogs likes long walks, ripping apart her stuffed toys to reveal the squeaker inside, and getting fluff in every room of the house. If your pup is anything like mine, these toys are sure to give them the chewing satisfaction they crave without creating a lot of clean-up for us dog parents.

Promising review: "I have a very picky, small senior dog, and when it comes to toys, she acts like she’s a ruler of the solar system, and finding ones that she likes and will play with can be a bit of a challenge...and she LOVES these. The quality is great for small dogs, soft to the touch, and durable for long-lasting use. My sweet, picky senior has fun with these and will play for hours." —lala

Get it from Amazon for $11.99+ (available in five styles).

Promising review: "I bought this for my cat to have a place to sit in her favorite window for bird watching. It has much more room than I anticipated, and the fluffy pillow-like cushion is very soft. Super easy assembly, my cat loves it." —Michele

Promising review: "The clothing I bought for my dog Tank fits perfectly. He's a Weimaraner and weighs 100 pounds. He is wearing  size 4XL. He wears it all day and night. He loves it. I am totally satisfied with the product and the quality. Best dog clothes I've ever purchased." —Tammi M.

Get it from Spark Paws for $33+ (originally $41; available in sizes S–4XL and nine colors).

Promising review: "I am amazed by the value and quality of this kennel. It is very sturdy. It was so easy to open and build. Simply unfold it and stand it up, and a few clicks of hinges and done. That's simple. It’s a nice, large size. The tray slides out for easy cleaning. It’s very comfy for my pug puppy. And easy to carry from room to room. Very portable. I will definitely recommend and buy another myself." —Gary Wainstein

Get it from Amazon for $25.99+ (available in six sizes, with one or two doors, and four colors). 

 Promising review: "Great raincoat for my large dogs. Good quality and perfect fit. Measure all three locations to order the best fit. Back length, chest, and neck. Super duper cute! Paired with a fleece sweater, and it will be wind, rain, and cold resistant!" —Deborah Tracy

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes S–XXL and five colors). 

Promising review: "The Pet Neat hair grooming brush works great to deshed my German Shepard Mix dog. He kept shedding everywhere around the house, and the situation was getting a little hairy. The grooming brush was easy to use and gentle. The handle is sturdy to hold, and the construction is well-made. My dog likes it when I brush his coat with the brush because he gets a mini doggie massage in the process. I was so surprised by how much hair it picked up! It's like you can stuff a decorative pillow with all of his shedded fur! I highly recommend this brush not only for its high-quality construction but also for its very reasonable price. Happy grooming!" —Oanh Woelfel
