- ⭐ My favourite: the Veken pet water fountain
- 💛 Almost everything here is budget-friendly
Every month I go through Amazon Canada’s pet best sellers and pull out 10 that are actually worth buying for your dog or cat. I check each product, its rating, and its number of reviews — and I skip past the endless food and treats to focus on the things that make daily life with a pet easier.
This month is a practical mix: a couple of true dog essentials, some cat must-haves, and a handful of things that work for both. Let’s get into it.
🆕 New this month
This is the first pet roundup on FindsByValerie, so there’s nothing to compare it to yet. Starting next month, you’ll find what came in, what dropped out, and what stuck around right here.
This month’s 10 best sellers
1. Chuckit! Ultra Ball Dog Toy (2-Pack)
⭐ 4.7 · 156,124 ratings
The fetch ball that outlasts every other toy in the bin. High-bounce, ultra-durable rubber that floats and rinses clean, and it fits the Chuckit launcher for throws that actually tire a dog out. Over 150,000 dogs approve.
✅ Worth it if: your dog lives for fetch.
🚫 Skip if: your dog ignores balls.
2. rabbitgoo No-Pull Dog Harness
⭐ 4.5 · 185,588 ratings
With 185,000 ratings, this is the harness people keep recommending. The front clip discourages pulling, the padding keeps it comfortable, and the adjustable straps mean a secure fit on almost any dog.
✅ Worth it if: your dog pulls on the leash.
🚫 Skip if: your dog already walks perfectly on a collar.
3. Earth Rated Dog Poop Bags (Lavender)
⭐ 4.8 · 217,984 ratings
The highest-rated pick on this list, from a Canadian company. Thick, leak-proof, lavender-scented bags that don’t tear at the worst moment. It’s a boring necessity done really, really well.
✅ Worth it if: you have a dog (you need these).
🚫 Skip if: you don’t own a dog.
4. 5-in-1 Cardboard Cat Scratcher
⭐ 4.8 · 1,056 ratings
A reversible cardboard scratcher that gives cats somewhere to dig their claws that isn’t your couch. The 5-in-1 shape doubles as a lounger, and cats genuinely love it. Cheap insurance for your furniture.
✅ Worth it if: your cat scratches the furniture.
🚫 Skip if: your cat only uses a scratching post.
5. LED Interactive Cat Toys
⭐ 4.5 · 1,904 ratings
Light-up rolling balls that switch on with a touch and get even lazy indoor cats chasing. The kind of independent-play toy that keeps a cat busy while you’re out, no laser pointer required.
✅ Worth it if: your indoor cat needs more play.
🚫 Skip if: your cat ignores toys entirely.
6. Arm & Hammer Slide Clumping Cat Litter
⭐ 4.5 · 6,357 ratings
The litter with the non-stick coating that actually slides out cleanly — no scraping the bottom of the box. Strong odour control from a brand that basically invented the category.
✅ Worth it if: you want an easier, less-messy litter change.
🚫 Skip if: you already love your current litter.
7. Veken Stainless Steel Pet Water Fountain
⭐ 4.5 · 1,904 ratings
My favourite of the month. Running water encourages cats and dogs to drink far more than they would from a bowl, and the stainless-steel design stays cleaner and looks better on the floor. An award-winner for a reason.
✅ Worth it if: your pet doesn’t drink enough water.
🚫 Skip if: your pet happily empties a normal bowl.
8. MateeyLife Lick Mat (2-Pack)
⭐ 4.4 · 9,200 ratings
Spread some wet food or peanut butter, and the textured mat turns a two-second snack into ten calm minutes. Great for slowing fast eaters, distracting during baths, or easing anxiety. Works for cats and dogs.
✅ Worth it if: you want to slow a fast eater or calm an anxious pet.
🚫 Skip if: your pet eats at a normal pace already.
9. Maxpower Planet Pet Grooming & Deshedding Brush
⭐ 4.6 · 56,900 ratings
Nearly 57,000 ratings for a brush that pulls out an almost alarming amount of loose fur — less on your couch, less in the air. The retractable bristles make cleanup a one-click job. Works on cats and dogs.
✅ Worth it if: your pet sheds and you’re tired of the fur.
🚫 Skip if: you have a hairless or non-shedding breed.
10. Candure Dog & Cat Nail Clippers
⭐ 4.5 · 49,741 ratings
Sharp, sturdy clippers with a safety guard and a built-in file so you can trim nails at home instead of paying for it. The kind of small tool that pays for itself after one use.
✅ Worth it if: you want to trim your pet’s nails at home.
🚫 Skip if: you’d rather leave nails to the groomer.

What’s trending for pets right now
Two themes stand out. First, enrichment is having a moment — lick mats, interactive toys and fountains that keep pets busy, hydrated and a little calmer. Owners are thinking about how their pets feel, not just what they eat.
Second, at-home grooming keeps climbing. Deshedding brushes and nail clippers with tens of thousands of reviews show people are handling more between vet and groomer visits — saving money and stress for everyone.
⭐ My favourite
If I had to keep just one, it’s the Veken pet water fountain. So many cats (and plenty of dogs) just don’t drink enough from a bowl — and running water changes that overnight. Better hydration means better health, and it’s one of the easiest upgrades you can make.
The stainless-steel design stays cleaner than plastic, looks tidy on the floor, and it’s quiet enough to forget it’s running. A small change with a real payoff for your pet.
