Promising review: “Why didn’t I get one of these sooner? This is a great leash. I have two dogs that like to dash around sniffing every tree we pass on our walks. They can feel free to explore until we pass another dog walker (mine don't understand social distancing). I simply reel them in and keep them on a short leash until distractions are gone. The leash unrolls and reels in flawlessly — never tangles, even if it's twisted. I have a medium and a large leash and it's easy to control one in each hand. I like them so much I bought one for my daughter, and she loves it, too.” —Doctor Z

Get it from Amazon for $13.80+ (available in four sizes and nine colors).

Promising review: “Having two dogs means I fly through poop bags, and after trying several brands, Greener Walker is easily in my top two. Other bags I've used would tear easily, leading to messy situations. Not once has that happened with Greener Walker. These bags are super sturdy, and the cost is totally reasonable. They've made the daily poop-duty hassle-free and budget-friendly — a win-win! Highly recommend for fellow dog parents.” —Tara

Get them from Amazon for $16.99 (available in three colors).

Promising review: “Best $10 ever spent! This thing is a lifesaver. I have two huge shepherd/retriever mix puppies who love to get into the mud and dig every time it rains. I used to just use the microfiber towel on their paws but it wasn't effectively cleaning their paws well enough. Now I use the Mud Buster and then dry their paws with the microfiber towels afterward, and their paws come out super clean no matter how muddy they were. No more tracking mud all over the house. Happy dog mom!” —Mel

Get it from Walmart for $9.97.

Promising review: “Three dogs clean in under an hour! I have three dogs. Their favorite hobby is getting DIRTY... like SUPER dirty! I must spend half my life either rinsing off their feet or giving them baths. As I only have a regular old bathtub, I would have to spend much more time filling water pitchers to wet and rinse them with. It was so hard to get them wet to the skin!!! THIS is a GAME CHANGER!” —Mamma Mak

Get it from Amazon for $40.99.

Promising review: “Highly recommend! These have become part of our go-to restock toiletries. We have two mini schnauzers and are using these after going outside/at dog parks, and they clean their paws up so well. We also give a good wipe-down in between bath times (which we typically only try to do about twice a month), and it leaves them smelling great and clean! We keep these in our cars and by our front door! I also bought them for my brother's German shepherd, and on the first use, OMG, his coat was so shiny and smelled so good — it helped to get rid of more of his shedding fur, too, after brushing him for about a half hour-hour.” —Anastasia

Get them from Amazon for $9.98+ (available in five sizes, four formulas, and unscented and scented styles).

Promising review: “So simple, but actually works! I had my doubts, but with two 50-pound dogs who sneak on the couch at night, we needed a solution to the dog hair. I thought it was going to be yet another comb or roller that only worked marginally, but the ChomChom actually works! I love there are no sheets to replace. There is nothing to replace. You just empty the hair and lint when you're done, and you're ready for the next time. I'm very impressed.” —Holli Standridge

Get it from Amazon for $23.99+ (available in three colors).

Promising review: “Would buy this again! I bought this to keep and use on the one level in our house that has tile and hardwood floors. I keep my bigger vacuum upstairs for carpet floors. This vacuum is AMAZING!!!!! Our dogs also live on the first floor, and we have a German shepherd mix — so much hair everywhere!!! This vacuum got it all. Disposal of the vacuum is easy. Great long cord, too.” —CN

Get it from Target for $199.99.

Promising review: “I’m absolutely blown away by this product. I’ve had it sitting in the box for a few weeks and finally got the energy to test it on my couch. I have three dogs and a toddler, so things can get messy around here. There has been a stain and the edge of this couch for over a year that I could not get out with other cleaners and this worked like magic. I will definitely add that it takes some elbow grease to get deep stains out, but I would 100% recommend!” —Desiree L

Get it from Amazon for $123.59+ (available in three models).

Promising review: “Keeping 6–7 dogs out of an open floor plan kitchen is like trying to keep frogs in a small basket! Impossible! Ordered large and half sizes to accommodate two main openings, and let me tell you: It keeps all dogs out — with some training needed for my one smartie who learned to push it open.” —IrishGal

Get it from Amazon for $69.99+ (available with three, four, or six panels and in two colors).

Promising review: “The dogs love them! The blankets are perfect. The dogs are happy with their new, fresh-smelling, soft, and comfy blankets. I plan to buy some more so both dogs have two, one for bed and one to carry around the house.” —Charley

Get a three-pack from Amazon for $14.27+ (available in three sizes and four color combinations).

Promising review: “Perfect for multi-dog households! I have four doggos — ages 12, 11, 3, and 3. They love drinking water, and I keep several ‘water stations’ around the house so they always have access. I bought one of these for the finished basement and one for the kitchen. They are easy to set up, easy to clean, and easy to refill. I take each fountain completely apart once a week, clean it, and replace the filter. Then every morning I refill the water tanks. I also got a couple of ‘smart outlets’ and have them programmed to shut the fountains off at bedtime and turn them back on when we wake up to protect the motors in them. Best purchase ever, and I never have to worry about my girls being thirsty!” —PuppyGoddess

Get it from Chewy for $31.95+ (originally $41.99+; available in three capacities).

Promising review: “It’s easy to put together. Literally, all you have to do is pop the wheels and lid into place. If you don’t want the wheels, then just the lid. This container keeps my six dogs from eating the whole bag in a day! And it keeps them out of the cat food. We have three: one for our dogs, one for cats, and one for our chickens and ducks. With the wheels, it’s easy to move around. Edit: now we have four. Love them. I recommend. And if you have smart animals or nosy toddlers, there’s a place to put a lock.” —Drake

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

Promising review: “I BOUGHT FOUR!! I have two medium dogs and two large dogs, and they all love this elevated food/water bowl. It has a groove/cut in the front so the dogs don’t have to lean over into the bowl. The four different positions allow you to use it in all stages of life for a large dog, and you can also keep it at the lowest level for smaller dogs. It’s lightweight and the bowls are big/deep so hold a good size of food/water for your dogs.” —Ja'Parrish O'Neal

Get it from Amazon for $12.99+ (available in three sizes and three colors).

A deceptively simple tool, this little magnetic plaque has two toggle switches for each day of the week — one for the morning and one for the evening. Once you’ve done the morning and/or evening feedings, just flip the switch, and you’ll always know whether or not your pets have had their num-nums.

Promising review: “No more Hobbit dogs! I am so sad at how long it took me to buy something like this. We have two very lovable, VERY food-motivated, very food-LOVING dogs. There are four of us in our family, and it's generally accepted that the first person downstairs in the morning feeds the pups. Well, that's fine, except it wasn't uncomfortable for the dogs to get both breakfast AND second breakfast and occasionally dinner AND supper because one of us would feed them and then leave the common areas. Our precious pups are liars, they will convince you no one has fed them in weeks. There was even one day when the dogs got breakfast, second breakfast, AND elevensies, which they thought was pretty fantastic, but this mom did not. Haha!! No more. This magnet is amazing for communication and easy to read. If I could give it 20 stars for saving money, I would!” —AR

Get it from Amazon for $7.95.

Promising review: “Takes the edge off! All three of my pups get these on days that I work. We're on our third container and I definitely can tell a difference. My two shepherd pups still have a ton of energy but are far less destructive when they have these. The little Chihuahua mix is a lot more tolerant of the pups and of people who come by when she has them. All of them love the taste, too! All dogs are different, so maybe they won't work for everyone, but they definitely work for my goofy pups!” —Gini.H

Get them from Amazon for $21.97+ (available in two sizes, two flavors, and in regular or mini styles).

Promising review: “These are wonderful! We have two large dogs, both 3 years old. We started them on Greenies as puppies to form a bedtime ritual. When they saw the Greenies, they knew it was bedtime and they headed straight into their crates as puppies. When they were around a year old, they were responsible enough to have the run of the house while we were sleeping, and the Greenies continued to be the nighttime ritual. Now they are 3-years-old and just finished their vet checkups. The vet was amazed by both dog's teeth. He asked if we were brushing their teeth or having them cleaned. They have the most beautiful teeth.” —Betty

Promising review: “Extra large and awesome! I absolutely love the pads. I've used a million different sizes and brands, and these are so perfect for my needs. I foster dogs for a rescue organization, so may have untrained dogs in the home. Plus, there are times when I need to go out for a period of time and won't leave any dogs outside. They'll bark and bother the neighbors, plus we have coyotes and occasionally larger predators, which make it unsafe. That's where these come in. I place two or three in common areas so the dogs have somewhere to go when we're out for any reason. They are very sturdy and extremely absorbent, so I never worry about them not keeping the floors dry unless one of the dogs misses the pad. They seem thicker and more substantial than other pads I've used, so they don't move around either. I actually think that they're significantly superior to any other pad I've bought.” —SoCal Shopper

Get them from Amazon for $5.81+ (available in packs of 25 to 150 and in three sizes).

All you have to do to use them is lay them on top of a stain, stomp on them, and then let them sit for around half an hour. When you pull the pad back up, voila! The stain will come with it.

Promising review: “Revolutionary housebreaking tool! I have four cats and three dogs. For years, I have sworn by Nature's Miracle, and it's still my go-to for larger stains. However, a quick interrupted piddle here or there? A bit of hairball or a little vomit? No problem — stomp down one of these pads and forget about it. Pick it up later when your two 14-week-old puppies have finally decided to sleep. Your carpet will literally be cleaner under the pad than next to it. Repeat accidents in the same place haven't been a problem, and even cat pee doesn't stand a chance. It took me three weeks to go through my first pack — again, with two young puppies, another dog, and four cats — and I am definitely getting another.” —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of 20 from Amazon for $27.48.

Promising review: “OMG, FINALLY! I rescue dogs and currently have five. I also am meticulous about my house. These two things have trouble coexisting. Until! I ordered this stuff. I had used that other Nature's Miracle stuff that smells like a peppery diaper and it worked okay, but not great. I ordered this, and in three days, MY DOGS STOPPED PEEING INSIDE. My husband is sick of me talking about it, so I came here to write a review. I don't love the smell on this, either, but it's so much better than the other stuff, and also, NO PEE! BUY IT!!!!!” —Liz Fenton

Get it from Amazon for $19.31+ (available in two sizes and two scents).

Promising review: “Great product! Dog-approved. I can’t tell you how many of these we have bought. We have two dogs, so we go through quite a bit of toys, but this has been one of our faves. We take our dogs to the park often, and they love playing catch. What’s also nice is that they can’t chew through the ball, so it definitely lasts a while!” —Anonymous

Get it from Amazon for $9.89+ (available in four styles).

Promising review: “All four (yes, four) of my dogs love these. My two little dogs get their entire breakfast in one, and my bigger dogs get a portion of their breakfast in their Kongs. My dogs are crate-trained, so I like having something for them to work on while we're away at work. It stimulates them and makes them work, which makes your dog happy. Don't hesitate for a second to get one of these. I use Natural Balance dog food rolls (great for training — dogs love it) to stuff the Kongs with, or sometimes, I will fill them with their dry food and a couple of treats, seal it off with peanut butter, and freeze overnight. There are also recipes on the Kong website, I believe.” —S. Hodgson

Get it from Amazon for $7.99+ (available in six sizes).

Promising review: “Lasts a long time and good play for me and my rescues! My two 50- and 60-pound rescues love to play tug of war and keep away with these rope toys. They also play tug of war with each other. A great way for them to exercise and release pent-up energy. The diameter is a good one, as they get a good grip as they play. I have had these for almost a year, and they are a bit faded and slightly ragged; however, expect a long time before replacement is needed. Recommended.” —Albert

Get it from Amazon for $12.24.

Promising review: “A perfect combing tool that my dogs love! I have two small, long-haired dogs that need regular combing or brushing: An 18-month-old sable Yorkie and a 15-year-old Malti-poo. It is a perfect way to keep up with a lot of the shedding. The bristle ends aren't too sharp, which I have found with some other products I've purchased over the years. Nice handle and size for ease of use. Seems to be very durable. Plus, my dogs love it when they see me take out this brush! Leaves their hair shiny and mat-free!” —Sharon

Get it from Amazon for $9.98 (available in six colors).

Promising reviews: “Does the job! These are quality lint rollers. We have two shedding dogs and use them daily. Prior to these, we had a different brand that would unroll as you were using it and stick to itself. I’m happy to say these do not do that!” —Amazon Customer

Get a pack of three rollers from Amazon for $12.99.

Promising review: “My SUV stays cleaner now! I purchased this seat cover for my 2019 4Runner several months ago, and it's worked perfectly so far. I take two dogs to a hiking area/dog park every morning, where they run through the shrubs, dirt, and stream. They jump back in the car, dirty and happy. I use a damp cloth to wipe down the cover and it's perfectly clean again. It has held up great, with two large dogs abusing it on a daily basis. AND... my vehicle stays clean. All the dirt is confined inside this nice, four-walled design. The sides along the doors have zippers allowing you the option of having those sides up or down. Those same sides also have a strap that you can attach to the overhead handles for added strength. I've been very happy with this purchase, and it was at a reasonable price, too!” —SoCalGal

Get it from Amazon for $29.69+ (available in two sizes and seven colors).

Promising review: “Husky (and husky puppy) approved! I was initially skeptical about getting a camera with a subscription since I’ve tried to stay away from them in the past. I had a regular home camera, but after a while, I figured it wasn’t the best solution for two huskies. My dogs love to bark and howl, and since I recently introduced a new puppy, I’m always worried about what she’s doing when I’m alone (and how my other dog is taking it). This camera is 11/10 a lifesaver. The barking alerts initially caught my eye, but the ability to differentiate between a regular bark, a continuous one, or even howling is SOOO helpful when your dogs are vocal.” —S

Get it from Amazon for $30+ (available in four models and with or without subscription-based features).

Promising review: “My house smells lovely! I have three adorable dachshunds. I don’t notice the dog odors until I have been outside and come back in, and I realize I need to freshen the air in my house. This concerns me whenever I have visitors that my house would be smelling doggy. I googled candles for dog odors, and I’ve found one right here on Etsy. I am going to order some more of these candles from this company!” —Jane Thomas
