Not your average cat food review—this one’s for the picky eaters who suddenly clean their bowls like it’s a five-star meal. 🐾 Tested on real fluffballs, approved by every “too cool to eat” kitty out there, and the verdict?

Because let’s be real, when your cat’s thriving, you’re thriving too.

We adopted our dog Gracie from the shelter, but you would have thought she came straight from the spa, the way she loves to be spoiled. Her pedigree was listed as “hound mix” but we like to call her a beagador to make her feel bougie. Our little pocket beagle Blue was rescued from a puppy mill where she was used as a breeder. She's just beginning to learn what it means to live in the lap of luxury. (Note: this list contains cashback/affiliate links.)

Small pets have been a staple in my life: guinea pigs, fish (yes, those count, too), cockatiels, budgies, and dogs. Granted, my menagerie has not been as varied as that of some other animal lovers, but if it crawls, swims, or flies (that even includes small lizards, spiders, snakes, and scorpions – which I've all handled), I'll develop an affinity for it. Having small pets taught me about LOADS about responsibility. In many ways, it's like taking care of kids who never grow up … but that said, it's been more rewarding, not to mention personally fulfilling! 😉Pets need that intangible known as TLC, but my recs cover the tangibles that you need or should also consider when buying a pet. Note #1: pets (of any size or lifespan) should DEFINITELY not be an impulse purchase, during the holiday season or otherwise -- some pets, like turtles and parrots/macaws can outlive their first and second owners!Note #2: vitamins are no substitute for medical attention when your pet requires the latter (urgently!) Note #3: this list covers my recommendations for most animals that are small and furry (excepting dogs and cats; they have their own lists here https://benable.com/whsimdesigns/fascinating-ancient-and-designer-dog-breeds and here, respectively https://benable.com/whsimdesigns/of-cars-and-cats).

For beginners or those looking for ideas. I wanted to list fish that are for beginners and those who keep smaller tanks. You should not get any fish unless you do A LOT of research!! You need to know how to take care of water in order to take care of fish. You need to know how to do efficient water changes and know how to monitor water levels. Before you get fish you should also know about cycling the tank. Most fish love it to be heavily planted whether that be fake or real and many, many hiding places. A heater, thermometer, filter, and bubbler are mandatory for any set up. Always have a backup plan for aggressive instances. You should also research every species. Always double-check that your chosen fish have compatible temperaments and water parameter requirements.

I never realized that taking care of a dog may require a little extra work, meaning they could have skin allergies or even food allergies. In addition, their skin is important because it can affect your allergies or even trigger flares if someone has eczema for example. As I made a journey around our daughter's eczema and how important food and skin products were, it started me on the path to the dogs as well. Hope this information helps anyone!

I grew up with food allergies/intolerances, anxiety, and super sensitive skin, but still wanted to enjoy special treats, adventures, and beauty products. And then, of course, I ended up with pups who have allergies and sensitivies too. Lol. One pup has environmental allergies that affect his ears and skin, and the other has a food allergy to chicken, separation anxiety, and is very sound sensitive. These are our favorite products that are good to our bodies and skin; soothe us and help us cope; and/or are special treats that we can handle and enjoy.
