Top Favorite Things for Dogs and Cats

Topping the list for dogs and cats is the FURminator®, a tool that removes loose hair and reduces dander and shedding by 90 percent, making it perfect for pet parents who suffer from allergies or those just looking for a cleaner house.

More Dog Favorite Things

• Today's Most Fashionable Collars and Leads -- Show off your dog's personality with fashionable and functional collars and leads.

• Greenies® Pill Pockets® -- Help the medicine go down easier with these low calorie beef and chicken flavored treats.

• Orthopedic Beds -- From heated to memory foam, the simple to the luxurious, pet beds give dogs a place of their own to sleep and feel better.

More Cat Favorite Things

• Automatic Self-Cleaning Litter Boxes -- Disposes of waste and odor mere minutes after the cat departs the litter box. They keep the area clean, and make life a little easier on pet parents.

• The Drinkwell® Pet Fountain -- Provides pets with fresher, better tasting water. Pets enjoy drinking water that is flowing, so this encourages them to drink more frequently.

• Personalized tags -- Pet parents recognize the importance of keeping track of their cats while outfitting them with a style that suits their personality.

Favorite Things for Pets with Fins

• Aquarium cleaning systems top the list of Favorite Things in the specialty category. These products dramatically reduce the time pet parents spend on aquarium maintenance.
