I am a vet student with 2 pets and lots of animal experience, these are my favorite must have pet items for new owners!

A lot of us who own cats were raised in households with them, but the way our parents and guardians took care of their cats may not have been the best way. This list will give you a good idea of the essentials your cat needs to stay happy, healthy, and living it's best life!

I have always been an animal lover and my boyfriend and I actually have a dream of opening up an animal sanctuary as part of our retreat center some day. I've been exploring dog training, holistic healthcare, and cooking for my pets as well as loving and caring for strays for many years now and I thought it might be cool to gather a bunch of my favorite resources and tools in one place for other pet-people to enjoy.

I feel like I cracked the code on everything i need for my golden retriever, doc! Here are my top recommendations for your best friend.

We all want our fur babies to have the best because we feel that they are an extension of our family. Some of these items have made Marley's life happy and my life easier.

I'm a dachshund lover and I know there are others as Doxie-obsessed as I am. I currently have two, Lily is a chocolate mini who is 12, and Luke is a black & cream long-haired mini who is 5! I've had 5 dachshunds in my life (and have the ankle tattoo to prove it)!! This list contains affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you purchase through them, at no extra cost to you.

These are the supplements that have made a real difference in my pets’ health—from skin and coat support to digestion and joint care. With sensitive systems in mind, I’ve stuck with gentle, vet-trusted options that actually help them feel their best without any added stress.

As a pet parent of a small dog, if I am going on vacation, I want to find places that are pet-friendly and accessible!

Frenchies are weird. Be prepared. Items for the dog and the people who get to live with them.

For those of us who have pets that we may consider to be like our own kids, you understand the feeling of wanting the best for them, wanting to make them happy, and yes, wanting to spoil them, too (although we may not want to admit it to others). Having pets is one of the many joys in life, at least for me, and they fill my life with both joy and hardships, though the hardships are specifically from my pitbull mix because he's a handful and acts like a toddler sometimes. Regardless of their attitudes, personalities, or the way they body slam us sometimes (mostly from dogs), we obviously still love them and want the best for them!That's why I have curated a list of true pet recommendations that have either come in handy for me personally or have satisfied my pets in terms of treats, food, toys, and more! While I'm no expert, I am and have been a pet parent for a while now, so I hope this list can help some of you, even if it just gives ideas for the next treat or toy purchase, whether just-because or for a birthday celebration!
