Pets want clean water, too. Slip this little water enhancer in their bowl for fresher, purified sips. GoPure’s porous ceramic absorbs impurities and releases trace minerals to balance the pH levels. And it uses an all-natural, fine-grain rock (Diatomite) to filter out lead, arsenic, chlorine, and other contaminants from getting into their system. The special suction-cup cage secures the pod to their bowl for safer drinking.

This proper tick removal tool takes care of pesky critters the right way. It’s stainless steel and is dual-ended with sharp, thin-tipped tweezers to grab small ticks and a slotted scoop for larger or engorged ones. Designed by a tick expert to comply with the Center for Disease Control and Prevention’s guidelines.

This collapsible cat carrier makes kitty travel as minimalist—and as functional—as can be. The sturdy, lightweight design is easy to tote and clean and it folds down quickly for compact storage. Large ventilation windows maximize airflow and visibility, so any cat up to 17 pounds can travel comfortably.

Your cat food bowl could be to blame for a fussy feline. When cats repeatedly bump their super sensitive whiskers—like against sides of their bowls—they experience whisker fatigue, which is painful and stressful. This sleek bowl was designed to help prevent overstimulated whiskers. Its shallow curve piles food up in the center, so there’s no bumping around. And bump-free whiskers make for a happier cat.

What bad smell? This odorless litter box kit can reduce unwanted kitty odors by up to 86 percent. Its unique three-tier design allows for better air circulation that can dry litter faster, which tamps down on odor-causing bacteria growth. Liquid filters through the mesh tier and is absorbed by a dry pad on the bottom, which means this box needs to be emptied less frequently than traditional ones.
