Best dog bed
“With over 4,000 extremely positive reviews, this is one of the most popular pet beds on the site. It’s good for dogs and cats, it’s made from super cozy faux fur, and – “pet owners will love this – it’s machine washable! comes in five different sizes to accommodate most pets and is really affordable, starting at $30,” Bergamotto explained.
Best Pet Carrier
“The Sherpa Pet Carrier might just be the Internet’s favorite pet carrier! The number of pet parents who love this airline-approved carrier is amazing. It comes in two sizes and works for travel by plane, car or just to the vet. “It has to lock the zippers, which if you have a naughty dog or cat is a game changer so they stay secure during transport,” continued Bergamotto.
“Many reviewers also noted that while most pets don’t really like being in their carrier, they would find theirs in this one at home because it’s so comfortable! It features a removable and washable faux lambskin liner and is comfortable but not claustrophobic for pets. Plus, if you live in a small space, the foldable design gets high marks.
Best cat scratching post
“This hybrid infinite lounger/scratcher comes highly recommended by many cat lovers – right here at “GMA” – and is made with recycled corrugated cardboard and non-toxic glue. It includes organic catnip to sprinkle on the lounger and is reversible for twice the scratching fun,” explained Bergamotto.
Best cat backpack
“According to owners of larger cats, it can be difficult to find a nice cat backpack that is both comfortable and cute to carry your cat around in. So the much-loved Fat Cat Backpack has you — or, well, your cat – – covered! Designed for cats up to 25 pounds, it’s also an airline-approved backpack,” Bergamotto added.
Best nail clippers
“The number one bestseller in nail care on Amazon, this little tool will allow you to safely and confidently trim nails at home, saving you a lot of money at the groomer in the long run term ! Among the more than 66,000 positive reviews, users with arthritis raved about the comfort and ease of use, and parents with nervous pets found these products almost foolproof, thanks to the added safety protection and the hidden nail file.
Best Paw Cleaner
“The love for these paw cleaners runs deep! Nearly 100,000 positive reviews for these little potties with soft, thick bristles don’t lie – they’re a game changer. Just insert the dirty paw, twist the washer , dab the paw dry and that’s it,” Bergamotto said.
