A disposable litter box might seem like a waste when there are plenty of excellent reusable ones, including self-cleaning litter boxes, low-entry litter boxes for cats with arthritis, and covered litter boxes for added security. Yet, every cat is different and certain situations call for different litter boxes. If you need a litter box for a temporary situation or if you’re looking for easy cleaning, a disposable litter box might be for you. When I was helping a friend move a

Dog muzzles often get a bad reputation. Some people assume dogs in muzzles are always aggressive while others think muzzles are inhumane. Yet, muzzles can be a great tool to protect dogs and those around them, as long as you use a properly fitted muzzle and positive association for your dog. However, a short snout dog muzzle isn’t as common as standard muzzles. My dog has a very short nose. I’ve considered getting her a muzzle to prevent her from eating gross things in the ya

I’m disappointed by how many popular nail polish brands test on animals. Whenever I’m at the store, I check to see if the nail polish is cruelty-free, and most of the time, it’s not. There are so many great nail polish brands that don’t test on animals, but they don’t appear in stores as often. So, I wanted to compile a list of the best cruelty free nail polish brands so animal lovers can quickly browse some great options. Mutts About Pets is reader-supported. When you shop t

I don't have a cat of my own, but I definitely know how hard it is to get a cat to take a pill. I used to work at an animal boarding facility, and cats would put up quite a fight when they needed medication. Most dogs can be tricked into taking their pill by hiding it in a treat, but I quickly learned that cats are experts at spitting pills back out no matter how well you hide time. If you’re dealing with a cat who hates taking pills, getting the best pill popper for cats cou

Some locations get extremely cold in the winter (unfortunately, I live in one of those places). If you’re shivering during colder months, your dog might be just as cold. Of course, some dogs are built for the cold with dense coats, but others are a lot more sensitive. I’ve found that dog pajamas are a cute way to help dogs stay warmer in the winter.

As the winter holidays approach, people often put together festive desserts for the occasion. Dogs love treats more than anyone, so they shouldn't have to miss out on that tradition.

As the weather gets colder, many people spread road salt across their sidewalks and steps to ensure nobody slips and falls. While sidewalk salt is a great way to protect humans, it’s not always safe for pets. Walking my dog in the winter is difficult because if she steps on certain salts, her paws get overly sensitive, making her not want to walk on that foot anymore. So, the perfect way to keep both people and pets safe in the winter is to use pet-safe sidewalk salt. Mutts A

There’s such a wide variety of dog walking gear out there. While attaching your dog’s leash to a harness instead of a collar can lead to less pressure around their neck, it doesn’t automatically help with proper leash training. Some dogs even pull more on a harness. So, to encourage good walking habits, you need to work on positive reinforcement training with your dog while walking. A front clip harness can help with that when used properly. Mutts About Pets is reader-support

Many dogs only want squeaky toys. These toys remind them of the sounds their prey would make in the wild, and it makes them want to pounce. As enticing as squeakers are to dogs, they don’t have the same excitement for humans. Sometimes, these toys can even become annoying if your dog squeaks a toy a hundred times in a row. That’s where the best silent squeaker dog toys come in. Mutts About Pets is reader-supported. When you shop through links on this page, we may earn an affi

Dogs and Pokemon are two of my favorite things. I have all kinds of Pokemon stuff, including clothing, stuffed animals, cards, and even a shower curtain.

Buying toys for dogs and cats is normal, but many people don’t consider toys for their smaller pets. Fish are especially overlooked when it comes to enrichment because they’re viewed as “easy pets.” Yet, even if a pet is easy to care for, they still deserve to have fun just like any other animal. If you have an aquarium, you should consider adding some betta fish toys if you haven’t already. Mutts About Pets is reader-supported. When you shop through links on this page, we ma

I absolutely love double handle dog leashes. Whether I want to keep my little dog close while sitting on a restaurant patio or control a large, chaotic dog at an adoption event, these leashes come in handy. Having an extra handle close to the end of the leash just makes things easier when walking all types of dogs. So, I decided to compile a list of some of the best double handle dog leash options so other dog parents can experience the convenience of these leashes too. It's

As cats get older, they may suffer from joint problems like arthritis. While your vet can help you find ways to manage their pain, it’s not something that can magically go away. Instead, you need to find ways to make your feline’s life easier. One option is to find the best litter box for senior cats with arthritis. A litter box might not seem like a huge issue for an arthritic cat, but many cats struggle to get into certain litter boxes when they’re in pain. So, choosing a l
