- Two water flow styles: flower waterfall or gentle fountain mode
- BPA-free materials with blue LED light for nighttime visibility
This smart water fountain keeps pets hydrated with fresh, flowing water that mimics natural streams.

The fountain comes with two replacement filters and runs super quiet thanks to its smart pump design. Setup is a breeze – just plug it in and fill it up. While it works great for both cats and small to medium dogs, the real win is how it keeps the water fresh and clean without constant refills.

LED Light-Up Dog Leash
What we liked:

Want your nighttime dog walks to look like a mini rave party? This LED leash turns your evening strolls into a safe light show. The bright strip runs through the entire 4-foot length, making sure both you and your pup stay visible to cars, cyclists, and other pedestrians, even in the darkest conditions.
The leash comes with a simple USB charging port (no more hunting for weird batteries!) and works great in any weather. You can pick from colors like red, blue, green, or pink to match your dog’s personality or your own style. Plus, the sturdy nylon material holds up well for those times when your furry friend decides to chase after a squirrel.
No-Spill Dog Water Bowl with Floating Disc
What we liked:
- Floating disc design prevents splashing and mess
- Large 70oz capacity perfect for medium to big dogs
- Non-slip base keeps the bowl steady during excited drinking sessions
That messy drinking habit your dog has? This bowl fixes it with a smart floating disc that only lets your pup’s tongue touch the water. No more mini swimming pools on your floor or watching your furry friend practice their underwater bubble-blowing skills (yeah, they do that).
The bowl comes with a replaceable filter and works great for car rides too. While some users mention it’s bigger than expected (you could probably fit a small dog in there), the large surface area actually helps catch those inevitable drips. Pro tip: pop it on a boot tray or silicone mat for extra protection against your four-legged water enthusiast.
Bluetooth Speaker with Pre-loaded Dog Music
What we liked:
- Plays calming music for dogs with a single button press

Dogs get anxious when left alone at home, and this little speaker knows how to fix that. The pre-loaded tunes are specifically made to keep your furry friend calm and relaxed while you’re away doing your thing.
This compact speaker comes with built-in repeat mode so your pup gets non-stop music therapy. No need to fiddle with playlists or worry about running out of songs. Just press play and let your dog chill to their own private soundtrack. The best part? You can place it anywhere in the house since it’s portable and doesn’t need constant charging.

Your furry friend can be quite the escape artist sometimes. This GPS tracker keeps tabs on your dog’s whereabouts 24/7 through LTE networks, so you’ll always know if they decide to go on a solo adventure. The device is lightweight, attaches easily to any collar, and has a battery that lasts several days.
The tracker does more than just location monitoring – it’s like a Fitbit for Fido. You can check how much exercise your dog gets and make sure they stay healthy. The app is super simple to use, and the device is tough enough to handle your pup’s roughhousing, swimming, and muddy adventures. Plus, the monthly subscription cost is pretty reasonable for the peace of mind it brings.

Living in a high-rise or dealing with late-night potty breaks? This indoor pet bathroom is a game-changing solution for urban pet parents. The sleek black design makes it look more like a modern home accessory than your typical pet potty, so you won’t have to hide it when guests come over.
Think of it as your pet’s personal restroom that fits right into your home aesthetic. The contained design keeps everything neat and sanitary, making it super practical for work-from-home situations or those rainy days when neither you nor your furry friend wants to venture outside. Plus, it works great for both cats and dogs, so it’s a win-win for multi-pet households.

What we liked:
- Spins all the way around to track your dog’s zoomies

Your dog probably thinks you’re gone forever when you leave the house. The Furbo 360 fixes that by letting you check in on them anytime through your phone. This smart camera follows your pup as they move around, shoots out treats when they’re being good, and even sends alerts if they start barking their head off.
The best part? It’s not just another boring security camera. The sleek bamboo-topped design looks pretty sweet on any shelf, and the two-way audio means you can tell your dog to stop eating your shoes from miles away. Plus, with the color night vision, you can finally catch them secretly plotting world domination at 3 AM.
Water Bottle with Built-in Dog Bowl
What we liked:
- Double-wall insulated bottle keeps water cold for hours
- Bowl detaches from base for quick refills
- Holds 33 oz of water, enough for you and your pup
Taking your dog on adventures just got way easier with this 2-in-1 water bottle. The stainless steel construction keeps your water chilly while the detachable bowl at the bottom makes sure your four-legged friend stays hydrated too. No more awkward juggling of separate bottles and bowls when you’re out and about.
The bottle scores a solid 4.7 out of 5 stars from over 4,000 pet parents who love its practical design. With its 33-ounce capacity, you’ll have plenty of water for both human and canine thirst-quenching during those long walks or hiking trips. The bowl part pops off easily when you need it, and cleaning is a breeze – just toss both pieces in the dishwasher.
Long-Range Ball Thrower
What we liked:
- Throws tennis balls super far without tiring your arm
- Picks up slobbery balls without getting your hands dirty
- Works with both regular tennis balls and special 2.5-inch balls
That blue plastic stick might look simple, but it’s a game-changer for playing fetch. The 26-inch launcher helps you throw balls way farther than your arm could ever manage, and your dog will go nuts chasing them down. Plus, the built-in ball holder means no more picking up gross, wet tennis balls.
The launcher comes with its own special ball, but it also fits standard tennis balls. Some users mention the newer models can be a bit sticky when releasing balls, but a quick spray of food-grade oil fixes that. There’s even a glow-in-the-dark ball option for evening play sessions – just charge it up with your phone flashlight and you’re good to go. While the handle could be comfier, it’s still a solid choice for anyone whose pup never gets tired of fetch.
Tennis Ball Phone Mount for Dog Photos
What we liked:
- Gets your dog’s attention with a tennis ball for perfect selfies
- Works with any smartphone size and case
- Ball is removable for actual fetch play
Taking photos of your dog can be tricky – they never look at the camera when you want them to. This clever phone mount has a tennis ball attachment right above your phone, so your pup will stare straight at the lens while you snap away. The paparazzi has nothing on you now.
The mount clips onto phones up to 3.5 inches wide and holds steady even with excited tail-waggers. While some users say their dogs lose interest in the ball after a while, most agree it’s way better than waving treats around. Plus, you can detach the ball for an impromptu game of fetch when the photoshoot is done. Just don’t expect your dog to give it back easily.
Interactive Self-Moving Dog Bone
What we liked:
- USB rechargeable battery that runs for hours
- Smart motion sensors prevent it from getting stuck
- Made from tough PC material that dogs can’t destroy
This electronic bone toy moves by itself across the floor, making dogs chase it around like crazy. The yellow color catches their attention while the erratic movement patterns keep them guessing where it’ll go next. No more watching your pup lie around looking bored while you’re busy with work.
The bone is perfect for medium and large dogs who need extra mental stimulation. Just charge it up via USB, put it on the floor, and watch your dog go nuts trying to catch it. The automatic shut-off kicks in when it hits obstacles, so it won’t get trapped under furniture or keep running into walls.
