I have one of these in my living room and it has been my savior when it comes to accidents that the fur babies make. Being able to simply throw it in the washing machine makes life so much easier and makes messes much less stressful!

This is still very much on my wish list but I have a ton of friends who are pet owners and swear by these things! You can set it up to clean up at night so it doesn't bother you during the day and and wake up to a nice clean and fur free house!

Because I don't have a Roomba yet, I use these heavy duty Swiffer Sweepers to get rid of the constant fur on my floors. I use them just about every day.

We're big fans of top loading litter boxes (one of our cats pees kind of weird) before we got one we were constantly having to deal with pee in places it wasn't supposed to be even though our cats were going inside their litter box. This litter box w...

Our dogs don't have a ton of toys because we don't always trust the dog toy business, but we do love this rope. It's big enough for them to play tug with and we like to use it before doing some training to wear them out. I for sure do not recommend l...

When I tell you this litter has saved our cats lives a couple of times I'm not exaggerating. Your cat is much more likely to pretend they're fine when they're not than any of your other babies. And having this has given us the heads up we needed to g...

If you read my super long description for the surgery shirt then you already know I suggest pairing this with that. This cone worked great for our 5 year old rescue Rottie when she got spayed. She liked it much better than the plastic cone and our o...

As a dog owner and a pet sitter I have tried a LOT of poop bags. These are hands down the best in the biz. They're easy to open no matter what the weather, they're soft and don't slip out of your hands when it's cold or wet. Plus they're compostable!...
