This is an airline approved carrier but the reason I like it is that it can open up on the side and have enough room for a litterbox and even some food I. The other side. Great for long car rides.

I have a large cat that does not like enclosed boxes. He would always overshoot the open box. This is a large box with an open to cover that extends the walls and solved that problem for me. I also use these stainless steel pans in the bottom of the ...

Cats are notorious for getting urinary tract infections. Much of this is due to people supplying water in improper ways. Finding out if your cat is having some health issues and needs that trip to the vet is pretty litter. It will change colors to in...

If you have an indoor cat that gets the zoomies it might like this cat wheel! I have a few cats that like it (a couple want nothing to do with it but it has free returns if your cat doesn't use it). It isn't very loud, the carpeting in the wheen is e...

These shelving units are great for garages and storage units but what a lot of people don't know is that they are great for pets! If you have a lot of reptiles and or spiders like I do these are great to put along a wall and fill with enclosures.

This two story ferret nation cage is perfect for up to 4 or 5 ferrets, more than that I would recommend the 3rd story add on that is also in my ferret list. Ferrets will ussually sleep and cuddle in one big adorably pile anyway so if you have multipl...

Ferrets love squeezing into tight spaces, running through tubes and being generally crazy. We routed one of the around and down a cat tree and they would line up taking turns running down it like a slide.

Mobility for senior dogs is rea;;y important, it is sad to see a dog not get to enjoy things they used to and if something as simple as a set of stairs can help I am going to get it. I have sold a ton of these as an Amazon affiliate and gotten no ret...

Chinchillas

Cute furry little balls of energy when they get on their wheels. Need to be kept in cooler temps as they can overheat easily and must have stuff to chew to keep their teeth from overgrowing!

Chinchillas NEED wheels to run in. One big enough for them and one made out of material they cannot chew. These are great, and quiet!

What a cool idea for owners of tortoises, bearded dragons or a host of other greens eating little critters. Set up a little mobile garden to grow them some fresh treats. I know a couple of little guys that want me to plant some dandelions in there AS...
