Oh, how we love our pets. From cats and dogs to rabbits and reptiles, we spoil them as much as we can. And because they can’t do it themselves, we shop for them, too.

Feline fun

Keep your cat amused for hours with a classic hide-and-seek toy, featuring electronic mouse sounds. The OurPets Catty Whack Electronic Motion Cat Toy has a feather that moves in and out of the mouse holes, as Kitty pounces and purrs. $30.

Not here, Rover

Ever notice that your dog or cat always heads straight for the places you don’t want him/her to go? Until your pet learns to read “Keep Off” signs, here’s a solution. The PetSafe ScatMat Electronic Training Mat emits a safe but annoying three-second burst of static pulse when Rover or Kitty go into forbidden area. No yelling  involved. $40.

Well-groomed

Your pet deserves to look snappy, but groomer costs can add up. Do it yourself with an all-in-one tool, the Wahl Lithium Ion Pro Series Pet Clipper Kit. You’ll get an assortment of blades, combs, scissors and more, all in a convenient carrying case. $60.

Hydrated & Happy

Pets need water for health and hydration. Make sure there’s always fresh water for your fur baby with the Pioneer Pet Stainless Steel Drinking Fountain Raindrop Design. An included charcoal filter rids tap water of impurities. It’s easy to clean too —unplug it and put it right in the dishwasher. $36.

MORE THAN A DOOR

Nifty idea, the pet door —but let’s face it, you don’t want just any creature coming through it. That’s not a worry with the SureFlap Microchip Pet Door. A collar microchip ensures that only your pet gets in, and there’s a timer so Rover only goes out when you want him to. $200.
