Promising review: "This is THE answer for dogs who slip on hardwood floors. I wish I'd found these sooner. Could've saved my dogs from a bunch of falls and my new floors from many scratches. At first we tried several types of dog footwear. If anyone decides to go that route instead, don't bother with expensive dog socks. These nail caps stay glued on for a month they say. We've had them on for three weeks so far, and they are holding up just fine." —edit6

Promising review: "The scent throw on this candle is pure and clean. I am not a fan of thick floral scents, and wanted something clean smelling and this is just what I was hoping for. I have not kept the candle burning for a long period of time. I find that after about 90 minutes I'm very pleased with the fragrance in the room and that is sufficient. If you have been looking for a candle to cover up a pet smell, you don't have to look any further. This is the candle to buy. I can't think of anything I don't love about this candle or this company." —Theresa

Promising review: "The material really is waterproof and thick so a larger dog who has nails won't pierce a hole in it. It even has little pipes to wedge between the backrest so it doesn't slide around. They are covered completely with nylon. It even has Velcro on the ends to kind of fold the cover so any liquid will stay in the cover. And stretchy straps that go under the seat alone with straps that go around the headrest." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "OK, all joking aside, this product is awesome! I have purchased three of the cheaper screens and my dog destroys them! Granted he is an 86 lbs. pitbull that charges through the screen at full speed. I bought this because of the lifetime warrantee. This screen is very well-made, the seams are heavy, and the magnets are built into the entire seam! The screen comes together every time, (well except for when the dog goes through so fast that the magnet sticks to the screen door)! I would recommend this over any of the cheaper screens. The quality is worth the extra price." —Mike A

Promising review: "This dog bed is one of the best investments I have ever made! I can't tell you how many dog beds I have wasted my money on and my dogs don't even use them. Both of my dogs are OBSESSED with it! It is really easy to clean and lasts for a long time." —Eleisha

Get it from Amazon for $25 (available in six styles and sizes small to jumbo).

Promising review: "Love this rug! I have a concrete covered porch, and our dogs would always make it muddy and dirty. I always had a hell of a time trying to keep it clean. But with this rug, it gave our porch style. It looks very inviting, and you can't see any dirty paw tracks!" —Jennifer Davis

Promising review: "We go through a lot of these with longhaired white cats in the house. This brand works very well, is sticky, and tears off where it's supposed to." —Great Cook

Promising review: "This blanket has already paid for itself. I have a senior dog and foster dogs also, and I had to finally just throw out my old couch and get a new one because it kept getting peed on and I couldn't get the smell out. I bought this to protect my awesome new couch from accidents. So far we have had just a handful of accidents on the couch and this blanket works so well. For the most part liquid will bead up and not even soak into the top layer of fabric, so I can just spot clean. I have only washed it once and found that it's best to rearrange the blanket in the machine after the first cycle and do a second spin to get the excess water out. I did not find that it took forever to dry — one cycle on my crappy dryer worked well enough." —MERoesler

Promising review: "I will be buying these again. I've tried a number of puppy pads because I have a small toy dog and am pleased to report that these do a good job of absorbing urine and are affordably priced. They are not the thickest pad I have bought, but they do not leak. More important than thickness to me is how the pad curbs the flow of urine. Some like the Allmax are thicker pads but the urine spreads out too much and it will reach the dog's paws before she is done. The Amazon pads inhibit the spreading better, which for me is a big plus." —Buffy

Promising review: "I am pretty amazed by this product. My goldendoodle puppy is rambunctious and loves to play. This causes barking and puppy biting to get attention. This product is fantastic. When almost nothing else works, this will at the very least help, and at the most, solve your problem entirely! My dog does not seem afraid of the can at all — it's more like he associates the hiss noise and air blast as a signal to stop doing something. I used it with barking first and would emit a hiss of air right when he would do the action. Soon, he only had to see the can as a warning. I'm now using it with his play biting. It's recommended that you tackle one behavior at a time. I am pretty impressed that this works as well as it does." —Amazon Customer

Promising review: "All three fur-babies and I are loving every brush session. I purchased this for my Golden Retriever Mix, Leo, when he sees his Furminator he runs! Now I pull out the Pet Glove and he runs to me. He enjoys that every brushing comes with a massage. He is currently shaved but the Pet Glove still gives me piles of hair. This pet glove is also working wonders on my red heeler, kali, and doxie mix. My heeler is in a constant state of blow out, I never knew how much hair could be pulled out of her undercoat and she also loves it. My doxie has short hair but doesn't lose much, so he just loves getting a mini massage. I easily can just pull the hair off the glove and throw it away." —Jennifer

Promising review: "This thing just plain works. We got a mature golden retriever last year and were told he didn't shed. Then in the spring he started shedding badly. I found this product on a whim one day and knew it had to be better than my shoe! I ordered it and it was tough at first. The bristles pulled the hair up but then caught the tufts and spread them around. The backside is more like a squeegee and helps pull the hair up in long rolls and keeps the hair in one big pile." —Nick V.
