    36 Pet Products That Don't Cost A Lot, But Will Be Used All The Time

    Your pet would most definitely tell you how much they love these budget-friendly products...if they could actually talk.

    1. A large plush toy shaped like a duck about to become your dog's favorite thing in the world (besides you, of course). They'll fall in love with the squeaker, how huggable it is, and how it stays together even through endless hours of rough play with sharp chompers.

    2. A slow feeder dog bowl designed to prevent your dog from scarfing down their food in one minute flat and ending up with an upset tummy. This bowl will also help reduce bloating and vomiting that lots of fast-eating pups can often struggle with.

    3. A cozy window hammock that your cat will think is so luxurious, they'll feel like they're sunbathing at a 5-star hotel on the French Riviera.

    12. An elevated dog bed to keep your dog cool when relaxing outside or to provide a place for your dog to escape to when the Roomba kicks on. Many dog beds can cost a pretty penny, but this affordable option will leave your wallet and your dog happy (especially during naptime).

    13. A self-groomer cat toy that you can mount on a corner or just keep on the ground for your cat to scratch up on. It collects loose hair and has a compartment for catnip to entice your cat to use the groomer.

    16. A bird bath so your small to medium birdie can splash around all the livelong day. It can lock onto the sides of their cage but is also easily removable for cleanup days.

    17. A stain-and-odor eliminator formulated with enzymes that break down even the toughest, most set-in stains. It's especially helpful to have on hand if you're house-training a new puppy and accidents happen quite frequently.

    18. A collapsible dog bowl to take on the go so your four-legged companion always has a place to drink fresh water and eat their food. It's especially great for active pups who love going on long walks or hikes — now they can stay hydrated so they can keep going the distance!

    19. A pack of matatabi chew sticks if your cat is constantly scratching up your furniture and you're looking for an outlet for all their energy. Matatabi is a plant native to Japan and is actually an alternative to catnip, so if your cat is stubborn and shows no interest in catnip, this might finally be the way to distract them from clawing away at every surface of your house.

    21. A flying squirrel toy that your dog will love chasing as it floats through the air. It also glows in the dark and can float, so this might just become your dog's go-to toy for any sort of outing — whether it's day or night, on dry land, or out in the water.

    22. A paw cleaner for dogs who don't like to sit still long enough for you to clean their muddy paws with a towel. With this, add water, dunk their paw in, and the gentle silicone bristles remove caked-on dirt and mud in seconds. It's so easy to use, you'll wonder how you ever lived without it!

    23. A durable chew toy Fido will love chomping away on. Little do they know that the ridges and nubs on the toy remove plaque and tartar and keep their teeth healthy!

    24. A pet-grooming brush that helps prevent shedding by gently removing dead hair and leaving behind a healthy, shiny coat.

    26. A set of elevated cat bowls that'll seriously impress you with how sleek and modern they look, especially for the reasonable price tag.
