You're gonna love these fabulous finds! Some might've been gifted, but all were hand-picked by our editors. So, join me in shouting it out: "This is my home, too!"
1. Fur-friendly Foot Cleaner
direnub AmazonThis cute contraption lets your fur-baby shake off mud in no time. Fill it with water, pop their paws in, and watch the dirt float away, leaving tracks nowhere to be found.
Promising review: "My four dogs in NYC make this purchase a must. I used to spend 15 minutes cleaning their paws with a spray bottle and towel. Now it takes just five. The dirt goes in the cup, and the dogs seem to love it. It's a thumbs-up! - Sandra"
Get it on Amazon for just $14.02 (available in various sizes, hues, and with or without a lid).
2. Robo-Vac Savior
direnub Amazon, AmazonThis robo-vac is a blessing for busy pet parents. It vacuums pet hair, dust, and crumbs with a simple press of a button. It even navigates hard-to-reach areas like under the couch, eliminating any lingering evidence that a pet even exists!
Promising review: "I love this vacuum! We have a small house with mainly tile floors and low-pile carpets/rugs, and three indoor/outdoor cats. I hate vacuuming, and the cats hated me vacuuming. The Eufy has solved both our issues. I hit the button in the morning/evening, and the little guy trundles around, bouncing off corners and chair legs. By the time it's done, the floor is debris-free. It's far better at picking up hay bits, sand, and cat fur than I expected. The only (slight) flaw is that longer strands of hair and other strings/threads it pulls from throw rugs tend to wind themselves up around the brush. That said, it's super easy to remove and clean the brush once a week or so. The dust bin gets emptied every other use and hasn't been completely full yet. - SunnySD"
Grab it on Amazon for $199.99 (available in black and white).
3. Undercover Litter Box
direnub Amazon, AmazonThis sleek cat litter box disguises itself as an ottoman or bench, no one will ever suspect it's your kitty's secret hideaway!
Promising review: "I have two cats, and I was stressed about visitors smelling the litter box. I needed a cover, but nothing fit. I decided to purchase this, and I'm obsessed! It has amazing quality and hides the litter box perfectly! Highly recommend! - Madison Gatliff"
Get it on Amazon for $53.99 (reveal the enchantment with three sizes, multiple color options, and both with and without a litter box).
4. Chameleon Dog Crate
direnub Amazon, AmazonThis camouflage crate blends seamlessly with your furniture, making any furry friend feel at home without an eyesore. Style it up with a lamp or knickknacks, and it'll imitate an end table.
Promising review: "Crate looks like furniture. It's very simple to assemble. So far, it has remained chew-free despite having a miniature Australian Shepherd puppy staying in as needed. Blends in with furniture pretty well. This eliminates having the stereotypical crate sitting in a corner. - Daniel Smith"
Pick it up on Amazon for $65.87 (offered in five finishes and four sizes).
5. Hypoallergenic Air Purifier
direnub Amazon, AmazonCatch pet dander, odor, dust, smoke, and pollen in the air, all while maintaining a quiet ambiance, so you'll barely notice it! Trust me, once you see how dirty the filter gets, you'll wonder how you managed without it!
Promising review: "Knocks out litter box odor like a champ! Let me begin by saying that I did not believe in air purifiers until I tried this product. After adding another Maine Coon cat to my condo, something had to be done to combat the litter box smell that was overtaking my upstairs hallway. I purchased the two-pack and have no regrets. You will notice immediate results in your home's air quality. One unit is enough to handle an open hallway with two litter boxes! I use the other in my living room to control the pet dander that sometimes floats in the air. Bottom line: Buy this product for crisp-clean air you'll notice immediately. - Robert Robinson"
Get it on Amazon for $89.99 (available in black or white).
6. Magnetic Hair Remover
direnub Amazon, AmazonThis roller boasts a reusable brush that grabs hair, leaving you to kiss goodbye to sticky lint rollers forever! Remove hair from couches, beds, or any pet-infected areas with this roller, and it'll make your home look and feel pet-free.
Promising review: "Where has this been all my cat-loving life? Sticky rollers work fine for clothes, but this is the only product that has ever COMPLETELY removed all the cat hair from my bed. I have a long-haired 20-pound tabby and if you run your hands up his back a few times and fling the hair everywhere, it looks like it's snowing - he never stops shedding no matter what I do. After using the ChomChom, I can put on a black dress and roll around on my bed and not get a single hair on me. It's absolutely amazing. Everyone is getting one for Christmas, even if they don't have a pet. I don't care, it's THAT good. - Stephanie"
Get it on Amazon for just $29.99.
7. Handheld Vacuum Hero
direnub Amazon, AmazonThis lightweight, compact tool is perfect for quick cleanups. It also includes a hard nozzle for dry messes or vehicle cleanup.
Promising review: "I've seriously bought every kind of vacuum out there, including the Roomba, which is about as intelligent as a Q-tip. But I have four cats and a golden retriever, so I was getting desperate! I believe the saying is... a picture is worth a thousand words. Check mine out! Of note-the 'before' picture was taken of my dog's bed AFTER it went through the washer and dryer. Look at all of that left-behind hair! And the 'after' picture was taken after only THREE MINUTES spent vacuuming her bed. - Luka Chan"
Pick it up on Amazon for just $24.99.
8. Odor-Killer Spray Savior
Rocco & Roxie AmazonThis enzyme-based spray takes care of those unmentionable accidents, zapping away the smells on the spot. Your carpets will smell and look as if you don't even own a pet!
Promising review: "I have six elderly cats, and a few of them oftentimes leave smelly pee puddles to register their disdain at whatever cats get 'peed off' about. It's not a litter box problem and, although I've caught one or two of them doing it, I can't blame them all. This product works great on fresh messes as well as dried ones. After blotting up fresh pee pods, I saturate the area with Rocco & Rossi's odor remover and let dry. For dried stinky stuff, I just saturate the area and let it dry. It has a pleasant odor and completely eliminates the ammonia odor. Believe me, I've tried all kinds of products, and this one works the best. I buy gallons now just to have on hand. It's better than smelling that awful pee! - mona mia"

Promising review: "I love this litter box for far more than the purpose I bought it for. It has an elegant design and looks so much nicer in my house than a normal ugly litter box. The box is deep enough and the cover is high enough that urine cannot possibly leak out. The cover to this litter box works so much better at getting the litter off my cat's paws than a rug or mat, and my floors are so much cleaner because of that. - Richard"

Promising review: "OK, so it might be a bit much to say that I'm 'obsessed' with dog wipes, right? Wrong, they are just that good. I've tried so many dog wipes but none compare to these. The wipes are extra damp (and stay that way even after opening) which means one wipe goes a long way. They also smell great, have a thick feel, and are hypoallergenic. I have a dog who has sensitive skin and we use these wipes after walks to get rid of allergies. Game changer. Try them out. You won't be disappointed! - I Only Shop Online"

Promising review: "I bought this broom based on the tons of great reviews and I am not disappointed. I love this broom! It is lightweight but sturdy. I have used it on tile floors and carpet and it does a great job of getting the pet hair, lint, and dirt. I like this so much better than our traditional push broom. It is very easy to clean after use just using my hand, unlike our old broom. It also has a telescoping handle so that you can adjust it to whatever height you need. There is also a squeegee for doing the house windows and the car windows. I highly recommend it. - Joyce V"

Promising review: "Absolutely perfect for Nugget, my 9 month old pug, it seems like he loves the feel of the brush since he happily sits for brushes. I can get about a baseball size collection of hair off of him and honestly still can keep going. It leaves his fur nice and soft and the brush is super easy to keep clean. I highly recommend! - Tiffany Sparto"

My dog likes the drag it into the living room and dump the whole thing out. She likes that she can easily move it around. I like that I can have it be in an easily accessible place that doesn't distract from the rest of the room. I would purchase again. - Eileen Daniels"

Promising reviews: "I should have had this years ago. It is a flashlight, so it does not clean. I did not even know that the male dog had done a sprinkle in the living room. This flashlight lit it right up! You will be able to see the pet stains immediately. Absolute must have! My daughter got one after I told her about it. Same thing! - Boomer
"OMG, this is disgusting!!! I hope this isn't all just cat pee that shows up cause there is a lot! I bought this because I thought my cat was peeing in one room and couldn't find the exact spot so I bought this. Found the spot and more.* - Momof3boys"

"So I have one of those cats who chews on electrical cords. I can't begin to tell you how many cords she has chewed through - alarm clocks, lamps, and all of the charging cords for our phones. I was pretty sure I'd find her fried one day. I was hoping for ANY kind of help to get her to stop chewing, and then I came across these sleeves. They're easy to install and can usually wrap around more than one cord at a time, which is helpful for the TV equipment (cable box and DVD player). Just open the sleeve and slide the cords inside. So far, my cat hasn't chewed any cords since I encased everything in these sleeves! Be sure to have scissors available for install, since you can cut these to any length you want. I've purchased this same item twice, to outfit all of the exposed cords I could find!* - impossible girl"

Promising review: "The item came QUICK and was AMAZING. Definitely exceeded my expectations. I LOVED the scent; everything about it was just perfect. I needed a candle to get rid of a pet smell in my home, and when I tell you, within ONE HOUR the smell was almost completely unrecognizable. I could not smell any dog back there!!! The dog smell was VERY bad and strong in my house, so I KNOW this candle is strong with taking out a bad smell in the house. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I really love it, and I'm about to buy five more candles and will continue to do so!!! Only thing I wish they had was a bigger candle 'cause their candles are quite small. ... But I love them, and they do the job!!" - Elicia

Charmin Target, AmazonBid farewell to pesky litter box odors with this compact, discreet bin. Lift the lid, and all those unpleasant smells transport far away.
Promising review: "Best advice I got when I brought my cat home was to get one of these. I bought this the day before bringing my kitten home as it was recommended to me by a friend. I didn't think I would use it but got it anyway. ... That was back in March; it's now October. I use this thing every day! It hides the smell and makes cleaning the litter box a breeze. I really don't mind it at all. I don't smell cats in my house; it holds a lot of used litter. I only have one cat, and I change the bag once a month maybe. I hate the smell of cat litter, which is why I didn't get a cat for a long time, but this thing makes me think to myself, I could have done this years ago! If you are thinking about getting it, get it. You'll be so glad that ya did. It's super easy to use, too. - Theresa"
