1. Fancy Beds

What pampered pooch wouldn’t like a beautiful and comfortable bed to nestle into? My dogs are incredibly spoiled and there are no less than five beds in my house for two dogs! I have a variety for them to choose from. It seems that they use one bed alone to stash their bones only! Check out these cute and stylish dog beds to be your pet’s throne!

The Fhasso pet bed is a sleek and stylish option for a small dog or cat! Besides fitting into your decor, I love that it is eco-friendly as well! My cats love round beds like this as it provides a bit of a sanctuary for them.

And check out this pet bed! Your dog or cat will be feeling super spoiled lounging on this one! And a cute addition to any room in your home.

2. Teepee

How much fun are these? They provide a safe and comfortable place to rest or play! Your pet will love having their own private hiding space! The one below is handmade, the cushion is washable and hypo allergenic. Minicamp also recognizes that the structure needs to be sturdy and has created a teepee that should stand the test of time.

3. Custom Collars

With a gorgeous custom collar your pet knows they are the star of the party! It is also a great way to keep them safe if they manage an escape and are found by someone. Your information is on the collar and they can get your pet back to you! Mine are masters of escape…they will not hesitate to run if the gate is open. I have learned to lock it now! And the gate on the front porch was simply a test for them to figure out…

A word of caution if you are getting fancy collars for your cat though. I ordered some for my three since they have been known to go out and wander. Getting the breakaway collars for them gave me some peace of mind since they couldn’t get hung up on a fence or in a tree. However…Whiskers lost his in a matter of days, and the other two made it a few weeks with them.

Check out these options for a soft, fancy collar for your dog! They are made out of velvet and are loaded with bling and enough room for your pet’s name and phone number! And they come in hot pink for the divas out there, as well as black and blue.

4. Apple AirTag

As I mentioned above, my dogs are experts at figuring out how to get out of the house and the yard! The other day Benson managed to pull the retractable gate on the front porch open…As soon as I heard the noise I went running for the front door! I tend to leave the front door open with the gate closed so the pups can wander in and out and watch the world go by.

As soon as I got to the front I spotted him on the neighbour’s lawn! But Benson has learned that if he comes he will get corralled back into the house. And not without a lot of fuss and wrestling! Turning around and running back into the house with ninja speed I grabbed a block of cheese…Hoping this was a tempting enough treat I went back out to look for him…

And guess what…he was GONE! Somehow my 120+lbs dog disappeared! Walking up and down the row of houses and between them, there was no sight of him…This was the first time he simply vanished like that, usually he will run back and forth in front of the houses and I can spot him! Starting to feel sick to my stomach, finally he was spotted a few houses down! Using the cheese was enough to get him by my side and we got back home without much more fuss.

I’m now looking into buying an Apple AirTag to keep better tabs on my dogs! This way I will be able to tell EXACTLY where they are the next time they manage to escape! It will also give me more peace of mind knowing I can find them quickly. You can get holders for them that attach to your dog’s collar!

5. Furbo

As much as we would like to be, we can’t be with our pets all the time. Particularly with everyone returning to the office. If you want to keep tabs on your dog during the day or when you are out, you may want to consider a Furbo! Be warned though, they can be very addictive to watch!

By being able to watch your dog during the day or when you are out, you can see if your dog is exhibiting signs of separation anxiety. You can read more on dealing with separation anxiety here. It will also alert you if your dog starts barking so you can see what is going on!

With a Furbo you can also speak to your pet and dole out treats! It won’t take long before your dog is running for it as soon as they hear it!

6. Luxury Pet Carriers

A luxury pet carrier not only lets your dog or cat travel in style, but it also lets the world know how much you cherish your pet! My dogs are far too big to use a carrier with, but these are great for smaller dogs and cats! I love this one for the sling over the shoulder option, and it is also airline approved! It is also collapsible for easy storage! I have one that is very similar and it has lasted for years.

7. Matching Clothing

I wish there was an option big enough for my dogs!! Check out these adorable matching outfits for you and your dog! This one would actually be perfect for Grace and Benson because they can be a handful to walk sometimes! If you want to see some of the drama check out our Instagram page…Matching bandanas are also super cute!

8. Pet Massager

Has your dog had a stressful day sleeping and playing? All kidding aside, a pet massager can be a great option to relieve stress and help with deep tissue pain. This can be particularly useful if your dog is getting on in age and suffers from joint and muscle pain .

9. Catio

Cats love to explore the great outdoors as much as dogs do! There are safety reasons why you might not want to let your cat roam free though. You can read more on the dangers of letting your cat outside unsupervised on American Humane’s webpage here.

A catio is a great option to consider to give your cat some outdoor enrichment time! Check out some of the options!!

10. Wall Mounted Cat Shelves

It’s no secret, cats love to climb! I have seen wall mounted shelves gain in popularity, and you can even see them in some shelters! It is a great way to give your cat a place to play and lounge! I have a tall cat tree, and my cats frequently sleep and play on it…but only on the very TOP! If I had the wall space for it, I would definitely have some wall mounted options for them!

These are just a few ideas to spoil your pet! Drop us a comment below to let us know how you spoil your fur baby!!
