Your dog is your best friend, so it makes sense you’d want to spoil them whenever possible. Luckily, Amazon has tons of weird — and strangely genius — things that your dog is sure to enjoy. Better yet, each of them is available for $30 or less. So whether your pup enjoys a good squeaky toy, a soft blanket, or even a flashy collar, feel free to add more than a few of these things to your cart. Your dog will thank you later, trust me.
01This high-flying disc toy that’s gentle on gums & teeth
Letting your dog play with a regular frisbee can lead to them ingesting plastic. Instead, use this flying disc. It’s made from tough nylon, with soft rubber edges that are gentle on your dog’s gums and teeth. Plus, the lightweight design allows it to fly high in the air with minimal effort on your end.
02The ice bandana that helps keep your dog from overheating
Soak this bandana with water before putting it on your dog, and it can help keep them cool when temperatures rise high. A hook-and-loop clasp makes it easy to secure around their neck — and since it sits low on their neck, your dog is less likely to be able to rip it off.
03These talking buttons that let you communicate with your dog
If you’ve ever wished your dog could talk, then these buttons are worth a look. You can record simple words like “outside,” or “treat” onto them, then teach your dog to press the corresponding button whenever they want something. And if you ever get tired of the same four words, fear not — you can erase and re-record words as many times as you like.
04An AirTag holder that helps you keep track of your pet
This AirTag holder is a must-have if you’ve ever wondered where your dog wanders off to when you let them outside. It’s made from tough silicone that’s water- as well as shock-resistant, helping keep the AirTag on the inside safe from damage — and the universal fit makes it suitable for use with most dog collars.
05This calming headband with *thousands* of positive reviews
When no amount of soothing toys or treats seem to help calm your anxious dog, it may be time to try out this headband. Not only does it wrap your dog’s head in a gentle, calming hug, but it also helps protect your dog’s ears from loud noises like fireworks, thunderstorms, and everything in between. “This head wrap allowed our 15 year old beagle to relax and literally sleep during our neighbor’s fireworks shooting!” raved one reviewer.
06A squeaky toy shaped like a tumbler cup
This tumbler-shaped squeaky toy is one of those rare items that’s sure to have other dog owners asking where you bought it. A squeaker on the inside makes it fun for your dog to chew — and it also features a crinkly texture for added fun.
07The hydrating balm that helps protect from hot pavement & snow
This hydrating balm creates a breathable protective layer on your dog’s paws, helping them take on icy or broiling sidewalks more comfortably. It’s made from food-safe oils and waxes — so there’s no need to worry about your dog licking it — and you can even use it to hydrated dry paws and soothe hot spots and cuts.
08A dog-friendly seat belt made from steel rope
You always put your seat belt on when you get in the car, but what about your dog? Enter: this dog-friendly seat belt made from tough steel rope. Installation is as easy as clipping it onto your pet’s harness, then hooking it to the belt latch. And since the steep rope is coated with tough nylon, you won’t have to worry about your dog chewing on it.
09The probiotic tablets that can help support your dog’s digestive health
If your dog’s poo has been a little suspicious lately, consider giving them some of these probiotic tablets. They contain six strains of probiotics that help support a healthy digestive system — and since they come in dog-friendly flavors (bison, chicken, or pumpkin), there’s a good chance your dog will be more than happy to gobble one down.
10A plush donut bed that can help soothe anxious pets
Not only is this donut bed incredibly plush, but the raised walls also give your pet a sense of security whenever they snuggle into it, which can help soothe anxiety. It comes in a variety of sizes to suit pets both large and small. Plus, the nonslip bottom makes it easier for your pet to safely hop into and out of it.
11The doorbells that can help you potty train your dog
If you’d like to elevate (and even help train) your dog’s potty habits, these bells are a must-have. Simply hang them on your door knob, then teach your dog to nudge them whenever they need to go outside. The length is adjustable up to three levels, making them easy to use with nearly any breed — and the bells are loud enough to be heard from far away.
12A foaming paw cleanser made with hydrating aloe vera
Letting your dog in the house with dirty paws is one of the easiest ways to wind up with dirty floors. Luckily, this foaming cleanser is currently available for less than $20. Not only does it help clean dirty paws, but it also contains aloe vera and coconut oil, both of which work to help keep your dog’s paws from drying out. Plus, the bristle-tip pump makes application a total breeze.
13This licking mat that can distract from stressful situations
If your dog isn’t a fan of taking baths, consider adding some peanut butter to this licking mat, then attaching it to your shower wall. Your dog will have to work their tongue between the raised nubs in order to lick the peanut butter, helping keep them distracted from the fact that you’re giving them a bath. Plus, the suction cup on the back makes it easy to attach to any smooth surface, including glass, tile, and more.
14These calming chews that are chock-full of nourishing ingredients
Lemon balm, hemp, valerian root, and passion flower are only a few of the calming ingredients you’ll find inside of these chews. Not only can they help soothe anxiety, but they’re also made without any melatonin. The result? Your dog can stay alert and engaged rather than drowsy.
15A waterproof pet blanket that comes in 11 colors

16An iguana toy that’s designed for aggressive chewers
Got a dog that chews through all their toys? Then this iguana is worth a look.

It also has different textures and ridges designed to stimulate your pup’s chewy senses.
17The electric nail grinder that’s easy to use
You don’t have to pay to get your dog’s nails trimmed. Instead, use this electric grinder. It’s incredibly easy to use, as the LED light helps you see precisely how low you’ve ground your dog’s nail.

18A dog bowl set that helps your dog eat more slowly
Letting your dog gobble down their meals can lead to an upset stomach. The solution? This slow-feed food bowl set. Your dog will have to lick their way between the raised ridges on the inside in order to reach their kibble, forcing them to eat more slowly.
19The deodorizing wipes that help you clean your dog’s ears
Wiping out your dog’s ear can be a bit of a pain — unless you have these wipes at your disposal. Not only do they slip onto your finger so that you can give your dog’s ear a thorough swipe, but they’re also made with witch hazel, aloe vera, and tea tree oil. They’ll help dissolve waxy buildup as well as deodorize odors caused by bacteria.
20This leakproof flask with a built-in dog water bowl

All you have to do is massage it into your dog’s coat, and the hypoallergenic formula will leave their fur feeling oh-so soft and clean.

24The LED dog collar that helps keep them visible at night
Staying visible at night is always a good idea, and putting this LED collar on your dog makes it easy. It’s so bright that it can be seen from up to 1,000 feet away — and since it’s waterproof, there’s no need to worry about it short circuiting in the rain. But if that isn’t enough?

The nonslip bottom also helps keep it from sliding around your floors.
27A silicone pet brush that’s easy to clean
One of the easiest ways to help keep your pets happy — and your floors clean from hair — is to regularly groom your buddy, so why not take a look at this brush? The bristles are made from soft silicone that latches onto loose hair, pulling it off your pet before it can fall to your floors.

29A long-lasting freezable dog toy you can fill with delicious treats
Bored dogs can quickly become destructive. Luckily, this freezable dog toy is currently available for less than $10. Simply stuff it with peanut butter or another treat, then pop it into the freezer. Once frozen, your dog will have to work their tongue into the gaps in order to get the goodies, keeping their mind occupied so that they’re less likely to chew on furniture, shoes, or anything else within reach.
30A flirt pole that helps you get your dog up & moving
