Being a pet owner is hard work. You are caring for another life and one that can’t speak for itself at that.

Here are 14 pet products that can help make your life a little easier.

  • 1) Automatic Feeders

    Let’s start with the basics. An automatic feeder can be great for a number of reasons. First, it allows you to set up specific portions for your pet. Any vet will tell you the best way to keep your pet healthy is to have their food portion based on their weight and the recommendation on your pet food package. Second, the feeder allows you to be out of the house and still make sure your pet is being fed. This is great for cats more so than dogs because dogs need to be let out of the house to use the bathroom. But if you’re pup is able to handle being home alone for a few hours while you go out for dinner or whatever occasion, this can be a big help in making sure they get their food at night.

  • 2) Automatic Water Fountain

    I bought one of these for my cat a few Prime Days ago and let me just say I love it and so does she. My cat used to love drinking from my bathroom sink. Something about the running water made her happy. So, when I heard from folks that buying a water fountain for her was the best option, I was a little skeptical. But what I found is it’s incredibly convenient. This holds 2.5 liters of water which honestly lasts quite a while for her. It takes the daily maintenance of adding water to her bowl out of the equation and it’s very easy to clean.

    I have a dog and an outdoor and truthfully neither can keep their name tags for longer than a few weeks. This is why the moment I saw this I knew I needed to add it to my list.

    Okay, I know for most people it’s easy to clean the brushes after using them, but I like the fact that all I have to do is press the button on the brush a few times and the hair is at the end of the bristles ready for me to pull it off. To me, that’s a timesaver.
