1. No-mess food trays

Neater Feeder Deluxe

Neater Feeder Deluxe

Does your dog make a mess when they eat? Turn to this Neater Pet bowl. The large size holds seven cups of water and nine cups of dry food. Choose a feeder that matches the décor of your home — midnight black, aquamarine, bronze, cappuccino, cranberry, dark blue or gunmetal grey. This set is spill-proof, kick-proof and elevated for an improved feeding position.

Promising review: "Great quality. Sturdy design. .... Unit doesn't scoot around due to the rubber inserts on the bottoms of the legs. No spills or splatters on floors or walls. Neat grate in front of bowls to allow for messes to be channeled below bowls to a catch tray underneath. Great for our large collie. I would recommend this product to anyone."

2. Now Fluffy will take her meds

GREENIES PILL POCKETS

GREENIES PILL POCKETS

Part of loving our pets is ensuring their health. These Greenies Pill Pockets taste like chicken, which disguises the flavor of your dog's medication. Try these pill pockets when Fluffy or Fido refuse to eat their medication. This bag holds 60 pill packet treats and they're easy to use. Just insert the pill, pinch the treat closed then feed it to your dog.

Promising review: "Most of our daycare dogs like the flavor ... I love how moldable they are and you can usually fit two pills in one. ... We had found with the picky dogs to feed one without a pill and then straight after one with a pill as they tend to associate these treats with pills in them!"

3. Always clean up after your dog

Amazon Basics Scented Bags with Dispenser

Amazon Basics Scented Bags with Dispenser

When you take your dog for walks in public, it is the law to pick up after them. This is to keep illness from spreading from one animal to another. It's also to keep our streets, parks and beaches cleaner. With help from these Amazon Basics bags and dispensers, never forget your waste bags again. Clip the dispenser to your dog's harness or leash and always have access.

Promising review: "We got the mango scent. I would highly recommend. The biggest difference from other brands is the quality of the tearable seams. Easy-tear!!! Great product. Would buy again."

Case-Mate - Dog TAG - Collar Holder for AirTag

Does your dog often get away from you? Do you struggle to keep an eye on your pet when they're running around with other dogs at the dog park? Always know where your pet is with this Case-Mate dog tag collar holder. It is meant to be used with an Apple AirTag and contains a durable outer shell for a secure hold.

Promising review: "This is very durable and keeps the AirTag safe and secure. It really assists in keeping tabs on our fast and slightly crazy dog. It did a great job when we went hiking this weekend and she went swimming in the river with her three brothers. They swam in the river for quite a while and everything was fine. Nice product."

5. For the light chewers

Nerf Dog Rubber Ball Dog Toy with Squeaker

Nerf Dog Rubber Ball Dog Toy with Squeaker

Use this fun Nerf squeaky ball when you want to play with your dog. It is available in red or green, is shaped for easy handling and is tough enough for your dog to enjoy without immediately chewing through it. It has a four-inch diameter, which makes it ideal for medium or large breed dogs, and it was tested to ensure it is safe for Fido.

Promising review: "I finally found a ball my German Shepard/boxer hasn’t destroyed yet. She loves it and won’t put it down at all unless to eat. This product is just soft enough to not hurt her mouth when catching yet sturdy enough she hasn’t chewed it in pieces. Definitely worth the purchase."

6. It looks just like Abby!

LotFancy 27'' Dog Stuffed Animals

LotFancy 27'' Dog Stuffed Animals

I love Abby, so getting a plush mini version of her breed felt like an obvious choice. This 27-inch stuffed retriever pup is also available as a Bernese mountain dog or a brown and white doll that looks like it might be a terrier mix of some kind. These are great for kids and pets alike, with soft fur. It's also easy to clean.

Promising review: "I bought this for our Golden Retriever because she likes soft, big toys. She instantly knew it was her new toy and she’s played with it constantly. It is very soft, well made and does not seem to shed. ... This is so soft a baby would love it, too."
