It can be hard to buy for your furry friends (or really, for yourself in many cases) when it comes to pet essentials. Whether you're looking for something to add to your pet care routine, or know someone who is obsessed with their dog, the market is saturated with things you probably don't need, and duplicates of the things you do. We've pulled together some of the best products on the market to simplify your shopping.
Wild One
For the fashionable pet owner (which could be you), Wild Ones has crafted a sleek and modern line of petcare essentials. All of the items included in the "Walk Kit" can be bought individually, but for your convenience, a leash, collar and poop bag holder can be bought together. And bonus: they match! Browse the neutral color options, including the ultra-trendy blush pink, or something classic like black or tan, to find the style that fits your pooch best.
Furbo Dog Camera
Ever wonder what your dog is doing while you're away? The Furbo Dog Camera gives you inside access to their daily activities even while you're away. With audio and video, you'll never need to wonder what your best pal is up to again. Think they deserve a treat? Just swipe your finger on your smartphone and Furbo will throw them a snack.
Ruffwear Dirtbag Seat Cover
If you and your pet love the outdoors, chances are you've had your share of muddy car seats and floors. Even a simple drive to the vet can bring dander and hair into otherwise spotless vehicles. The Ruffwear Dirtbag Seat Cover eliminates the messy cleanup by containing even the dirtiest dogs. Ruffwear creates a variety of other products for explorers and their best sidekicks, so check out their safety options and adventure tools, too.
Embark Dog DNA Test
Ever wonder exactly where your dog came from? For mutt owners, it may be a question without an answer. Does your dog's bark really come from a hound line? Or are those spots from Dalmatian DNA? Get the answers you've always wanted with a dog DNA kit. You'll also be offered ways to find your dog's relatives, and know your money is well spent: Embark is working to end preventable diseases in dogs, and your purchase will help.
Friendship Collar
If your dog is your best friend, show it! Just like classic friendship bracelets, you can match your pup with a pattern, color or style of your choosing through Friendship Collar. Wear a copy of their fashionable collar everywhere you go to keep them a little closer when you're gone.
Enviable Dog Houses
If you're looking to splurge on a fancy home for your pet, look no further than Designer Dog Houses. These trendy dog houses don't come cheap, but they do come unique and eco-friendly! The wooden homes are crafted with as much care as your own abode, and will quickly provide a place of safety and comfort for your furry friend.
Selfie Ball
Want to capture the perfect pet photo? It can be impossible to get your pup to sit still for a photo, and past that, to get them looking anywhere near the camera. Simply attach the Pooch Selfie Selfie Ball to your camera to draw your pet's attention and snap the perfect selfie.
