Every pet parent has the same three problems: fur on everything, a pet with too much energy, and the chores nobody enjoys. The best gifts for dog and cat owners tackle one of those. These seven picks are practical, giftable, and ship free in the US with 30-day easy returns.

2. Magic Pet Hair Remover Glove
Wipe it over bedding, furniture or clothes to gather fur fast — a quick-grab tool that pairs well with the roller above.
3. Interactive Automatic Cat Toy
A motion teaser that keeps indoor cats busy and burns off that 3 a.m. energy. Great for cat owners who work long days.

4. Honeycomb Cat Litter Trapping Mat
A dual-layer mat that catches litter before it gets tracked through the house. Unglamorous, but every cat owner will appreciate it. (More tips in our guide to stopping cat litter tracking.)
5. Slow Feeder Dog Bowl
A maze bowl that slows down dogs who inhale their food. Under $25, which makes it a great add-on gift.
6. Quiet Electric Pet Nail Grinder
A rechargeable, low-noise grinder that makes at-home nail trims less stressful for dogs and cats than clippers.
7. Portable Pet Water Bottle
A leak-proof travel bottle with a built-in bowl for walks, hikes and road trips — ideal for the dog who goes everywhere.
