Soggy Doggy Door Mat
$39-$89; soggydoggydoormat.com
Usher in the holidays with a gift that boasts both style and purpose. The Soggy Doggy Door Mat, perfect for both two- and four-legged guests, claims to absorb five times more liquid than a traditional cotton doormat, and it lives up to the hype. We love the cozy feel, and the quick-dry fabric and appropriate bone detail make this mat both fun and functional. Available in several color combinations and two sizes—a large for the average load and an extra-large for those with bigger pets (or a bigger mess).

Neater Feeder for Cats
$28, neaterfeeder.com
Tired of tidying up only to return to a messy floor minutes later? With Neater Feeder’s jolt- and spill-proof technology, you can check one chore off your holiday to-do list once and for all. The elevated design, non-skid padding and comfortable access are ideal for a feline’s digestion and joints. The bowl’s barriers trap stray bits of food before they reach the floor. Excess water drains into a hidden tray in the dish’s base for quick and easy clean up. The Neater Feeder comes in a variety of colors and sizes.
Thundershirt
$39.95, thundershirt.com
Who needs a weather radio when you have a dog that starts shaking, panting and pacing at the first sign of a storm? Give your pet the gift of calm with the Thundershirt. Just as a newborn baby is soothed by swaddling, the Thundershirt works by applying gentle, constant, comforting pressure to your pup’s torso. We tested the shirt on a dog with severe storm anxiety and found it definitely took the edge off, relaxing him enough that he could lay down and even doze off a bit. (It’s safe to wear the shirt all night.) The shirt comes in 7 sizes, and you can upgrade from standard grey to three other colors for just $5. Personalize the shirt for an additional $10. Thundershirts are also available for high-stress cats, too!
Kittypod
$96, kittypod.com
Keep the claw marks at bay with this eye-catching accessory. The Kitty Pod combines structure and function to help you avoid furniture damage and keep your cat groomed and glowing. A cat condo doubles as a scratching post, giving kitties the option to snooze or sharpen their claws (and not on your couch!). Easy to maintain, the pod can be cleaned with a dry brush or vacuum—ideal for any modern pet owner. All Kittypod furniture is made from recycled corrugated cardboard. Available in five sleek styles.
