Best Pet Accessories

A pet can be a great addition to any family; their company, affection, and loyalty are irreplaceable. Anyone looking for a new member of the family should consider all options before bringing home an animal.

Once an individual has decided on what type of pet to get, it's time to think about what accessories will make ownership easier. The following list will feature some of the best pet accessories for dogs, cats, and small pets.

Among the most important aspects of owning a pet is making sure they have water available at all times. The Petsafe Drinkwell Ceramic Pagoda Fountain helps provide not only an excellent home for a pet's water supply but also encourages them to drink more. The fountain has a dual-action water flow to mimic the way that flowing water encourages pets to drink more and filters out any litter or other contaminants.

With an average 4.5 star rating on Amazon, it's clear that this pet accessory is popular among even the pickiest owners. One commenter wrote "My cats love drinking from running water and this gives them that, along with a constant source of fresh, filtered water. I have one particular cat who nurses from the spigot when she thinks I'm not looking."

One of the most popular accessories for pets is a pet door. This provides a way for a pet to go in and out of their house at will instead of requiring a human to open and close the door for them. It's also a good system because it keeps other animals out while allowing the pet free reign in and out of their house.

The majority of these dog doors feature four-way locking systems that can be operated with paws, nose, or even a remote control depending on what is most convenient for a pet owner. However, the best part is that they typically come with a built-in pet door where a cat can easily enter and exit.

For those who want to spoil their pets every day, there are a variety of excellent products available on the market. One of the most popular is The Pioneer Pet SmartCat Peek & Play Cat Activity Center.

This toy features a high perch that can be used to encourage climbing and scratching. Inside the center is a round, plush bed with built-in crinkle paper for added noise. Once inside, cats can play with the included dangling feather toy or even work on sharpening their claws on the post. The Pioneer Pet SmartCat Peek & Play Cat Activity Center has a 4.5-star rating on Amazon.com

For those looking for a lower-cost option, the Petlinks Busy Buddy Bristle Bone is an excellent choice as well due to its adjustable difficulty level and multiple textures for cats to enjoy.

It's made from soft but durable nylon so even cats with sensitive mouths can enjoy it without worrying about their teeth. The bristles on one side provide added stimulation while the other has a wave texture to entice scratching and claw sharpening.

Most pets need some sort of entertainment to stay occupied throughout the day, especially if they are by themselves for extended periods. There are a variety of toys available that provide visual, sound, and scent stimulation.

The first is the TRIXIE Flip Board Game for Cats. This product has a customizable difficulty level; cats will need to flip up flaps with their paws to reveal items underneath.

It comes with three game boards that can be changed out easily so owners can adjust the level. The board comes with a bell and mice-shaped toys, but owners can put any other items in for their pets to work on retrieving. It has an average rating of 4.5 stars on Amazon.com.

Another popular pet accessory is the PetSafe Ssscat Cat Spray Control System. This product does not require any human intervention and keeps a house free from any cats that may be sprayed by another. It can be programmed to spray after 1, 2, or 3 uses so owners have total control over how much their pets are punished for spraying inside the house.

An added benefit is that it can also be used to keep other household animals away from areas where they may leave a mess.

Many pet owners want to make sure their pets are safe while they're home alone, and a great way to do this is by using a breakaway collar. This safety feature prevents a pet from choking themselves if the collar gets caught on something.

The PetPeek Safety Collar is one of the most popular breakaway collars currently available on Amazon.com, with an average rating of 4.5 stars out of over 400 reviews. It features a large ring so it can be easily clipped onto a leash for walks and is made of easy-to-clean nylon.

As you can see, there are a variety of pet accessories available on the market that do everything from entertaining to protecting your pets while you're out of the house. The price varies depending on what item is chosen but all can help keep a home safe and comfortable for a pet no matter where its owners are.
