"Things I never thought I'd be particular about? Dog poop bags. But two years into dog ownership, I refuse to use anything other than Earth Rated's bestselling bags to pick up my pup's waste. I like that they're made from recycled materials so they're a bit better for the environment, but more importantly, these babies are leakproof, they roll off the spool with ease and I've never — not even once — accidentally poked a hole through one." — Jeanine Edwards, Director of Commerce Initiatives

"I have two golden retrievers, and these are their all-time favorite chew toys. I have to buy new ones for them every six months or so, and I usually end up buying multiple, otherwise they fight over them." — Camryn Rabideau, Senior Commerce Writer

"I have a mid-century modern chair in my office that was not at all cheap. Murphy's Law dictates, then, that it has become one of my cats' favorite places to sleep — and scratch. The remedy? I plunked this enormous scratching post right beside my prized chair for a little redirection. The post is tall enough that they can really stretch while they scratch, and the sturdy jute lasts quite a while before it starts looking ragged. My cats also like to sit on the small platform on top, statue-like, so they can closely supervise me while I work." — Saundra Latham, Commerce Editor

"We take our little dog everywhere. When we are making five-hour drives to the mountains or seven-hour drives to visit the in-laws, he can get pretty parched without a constant source of water. Problem is, he always steps on his bowl in the back seat, so we end up with a smelly car, and he ends up without something to drink until our next pit stop. Full disclosure: I have not yet tried this, but if the reviews are any indication, it's the problem-solver we need." — Janelle Randazza, Commerce Editor

"This handy gizmo keeps my dog entertained for over 30 minutes. It comes with a mold, so I can make his own ice pops using his favorite treats frozen in water, and he just has to lick them out. Plus, it's a sneaky opportunity to sneak in some supplements since he's not a fan of having them sprinkled on his food. I always add a drop of omega fish oil and some probiotic powder into each icy treat. It's a win-win for both of us." — Rebecca Carhart, Senior Style Writer

"I've had the Catit water fountain for about 5 years now, and while my cats love it, I hate it: It's made entirely from plastic, which means it grows mold incredibly fast. I have to take it apart once a week and scrub with Q-tips just to keep the mold from taking over. I want a stainless steel fountain. They're more expensive, but they're easier to clean and don't grow that icky mold. PetLibro is a great brand and I've had my eye on this fountain for a while. I hope it gets even cheaper this week." — Kate Ellsworth, Commerce Editor

"We live in New York City where the ground is disgusting, so I wipe my dog's paws every time he comes inside with one of these wipes. They're great for removing dirt, sand, grass and whatever else his paws touched out there. They're also great for mini 'baths' in between grooming visits." — Ellie Conley, Commerce Initiatives Writer

"If you've never given an unwilling pet medication, you've led a charmed life. I've had an epileptic cat that required twice-daily pills and a dog that requires anti-anxiety meds every time a firework goes off within 50 miles of our house. Most recently, our 12-year-old cattle dog mix, Sam, was diagnosed with a nasal tumor. That was over a year ago and he's still thriving and beating the odds. These pill pockets have made all of these scenarios a cinch. They're easy to mold around even a massive pill, come in a few flavors that most pets seem to love, and in different sizes to suit your pet's type and breed." — Kris Scott, Commerce Editor

"Though most of my home has easy-to-clean wood and tile floors, my cats seem to prefer a softer, more luxurious landing for their hairballs and regurgitated food. Sigh. So whenever I come across their handiwork on a rug, couch or (shudder) the bed, I attack it with this enzymatic spray. The scent isn't overpowering, and it does an amazing job of making stains disappear (even the ones that have gone unnoticed for an embarrassingly long time)." — Saundra Latham, Commerce Editor

"I like to support local pet stores as much as possible, but these treats are one of the few things I can't find stocked in the ones near my home. I like that they're made with natural ingredients, and my dog likes them, well, because they taste darn good. They also make giving him his daily medications a breeze. I just blob some peanut butter on one, stick the two pills on top, and he eats 'em right up." — Jeanine Edwards, Director of Commerce Initiatives

"Fluff & Tuff toys are the best soft plushies I've found for my dog! He tends to be a bit of a destroyer, but our sloth has held up for over two years now. It's got a few battle scars, like missing some toes, but it's still super fluffy and intact, thanks to the concealed seams and double-stitching. I'd love to grab some more if there's a sale, but honestly, they're worth every penny even at full price since they last so long." — Rebecca Carhart, Senior Style Writer

"This little water bottle is great for long walks, road trips, plane travel, dog park visits and more. Just fill the small reservoir with water, flip open the attached "bowl" and your dog can get a quick drink. I like that the bowl folds up, so this bottle fits easily in my handbags and totes. However, it also comes with a small fabric strap so it's easy to carry if you're traveling without a bag." — Ellie Conley, Commerce Initiatives Writer
