We all love our furry friends and only want what’s best for them – so it makes sense we want to give them as much attention as we can!
We show our love in many ways, like stocking up on some pet-friendly accessories, giving them lots of cuddles, and making sure they’re happy and healthy.
But what accessories should you include? Here are some ideas for stylish and functional pet-friendly accessories that you (and your furry friend) will love.

Stylish and Sustainable Pet Bowls
Just because they are an essential item doesn’t mean they have to look the part.
Pet bowls come in a range of materials and opting for sustainable—such as stainless steel or premium-grade silicone—not only are great for your pup or cat, but great for the planet too.
Stainless steel bowls are popular due to their sturdiness, longevity, and their ability to be cleaned easily, making mealtimes a breeze.
Silicone bowls, on the other hand, are durable, easy to clean and come in various colours and designs.
Plus, they’re a convenient option for those times you and the pet are out of the house, such as on walks or when travelling.
They also come in a range of great designs, so your pet’s bowls needn’t stand out. Instead they can fit seamlessly with your décor.
Pawsome Playtime Accessories
Every fur baby needs and deserves to play, so it’s always a good idea to have a supply of playtime accessories on hand.
A good range of toys is always a smart idea to keep them entertained while you’re at home and when you’re away!
Chew toys allow for your pooch to chew to their heart’s content without worry.
These come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials, and can also include features that help them maintain good dental health.
Ball toys can be thrown, chewed on, or even float.
They can also provide hours of fun, come in a variety of designs, and are budget-friendly when the time comes to replace them.
Interactive toys are designed to entertain and challenge both cats and dogs.
These toys allow you both to shake up the playtime routine when you’re together and keep your fur baby engaged when you’re out.
Some great interactive toy options include treat release toys, automatic ball launchers, and sensory balls.
Stylish Pet Collars and Leashes
Pet collars and leashes are crucial to ensure you have what you need to take them on walkies or a car trip.
Not only that, but collars with your details help make sure they are more easily found should they become an escape artist.
There are many different types of pet collars from buckle to harness, and even smart ones with high-tech features.
- Buckle collars are the most popular type, as they are available in different types of materials and come with settings that can accommodate most dogs.
- Harnesses go around your pet’s torso and allow pulls for behavioral control that won’t put pressure on their necks. They are also ideal if your dog has a back or neck condition.
- Smart collars look just like regular collars, but have the added features of GPS tracking, health monitoring, and even behavioral control settings. Smart collars are safe for your furry friend and are ideal if they tend to run off or have health issues you need to monitor.
You’ll also want to make sure kitty has the right collar too! For cats, breakaway collars are excellent as they provide a flexible and safe escape should their antics get them tangled up.
Comfy and Chic Pet Beds
Everybody needs a bed to sleep in at night, even your fur baby, so having a comfy and stylish bed for them is essential.
There are a wide variety of nice and comfortable pet beds out there from bolster, to elevated, and even self-warming beds:
- Bolster beds are ideal if your pet is on the smaller side and likes to sleep in a curled position. They are designed with a cushion base and raised sides, which will make them feel like they’re sleeping inside a fluffy embrace.
- Elevated beds are ideal for pets of all shapes and sizes and come with the additional benefits of air circulation, flea resistance, and being easy to clean.
- Self-warming beds work by using your pet’s own body heat, usually with a reflective insert inside the bed. Self-warming beds are ideal if your cat or dog is a senior, has little to no hair, and/or experiences joint pain.
Smart Cameras to keep an Eye on your Pets
A more high-tech pet accessory to have in your home is smart cameras to keep an eye on those more mischievous pets.
Smart cameras can provide many benefits for you and Fido.
Whether you want to check up on them or talk to them while you’re gone, in turn they feel reassured by hearing your voice.
These can also be used to assist with training, enable play time, and even dispense treats when you’re away.
These smart cameras come in sleek designs that blend in with your home décor and look like other home-based devices.
With the right accessories, you can easily provide your furry friend with the love, safety, and healthy life they deserve.
Not only that, but you can also make your home a pet-friendly, chic haven that you will both love for years to come.
