Gives Back
This modern perch puts window sills to shame. It’s crafted from eco-friendly materials, supports up to 50 pounds, has hidden hardware, and features a scratching pad. It comes in eight colorways to match your decor (or your cat).
$85 at Square Cat Habitat Another minimalist option, this design would look chic beside a window where light hits the wall. The white metal frame blends right in, while the felt hammock can be vacuumed or replaced when it’s seen too many hairballs.
$69 at Mau - $15
The OG indestructible dog toy. This update on the classic design is strengthened for the toughest of chewers by featuring the most durable KONG rubber.
$15 at Amazon Handcrafted, stamped, and glazed in Los Angeles, Kibble and Bone believes your pet should be dining in style. If these gorgeous bowls — which come in Classic ceramic, Poppy red, Mojito mint, and glossy Midnight black colorways — aren’t selling themselves, consider that for every bowl purchased, the brand donates dog food to LA’s Wags and Walks animal rescue.
Shop Sir Dogwood In addition to Fresh Pawz founder Christopher Cargoni’s own line of graphic gear (hoodies, harnesses, sneakers, and more), the LA-based pet streetwear designer collaborates with everyone from Odd Future and Santa Cruz Skateboards to Death Row Records and NBALAB. Fresh Pawz also partners with Petfinder to promote pet adoption.
Shop Fresh Pawz Drawing from her background as a designer for brands like Nike and Levi’s, Angela Medlin began designing toys for her Olde English Bulldogge, Wubbi, in 2017. Her hobby soon evolved into House Dogge, which earned a spot on Oprah’s “Favorite Things” list in 2020 for its sustainable, upcycled products including leather leashes, and biodegradable rope toys, and fleece hoodies (which you can customize with your dog’s name).
House Dogge supports Oregon dog rescue the NW Dog Project, and in her free time, Medlin pays it forward through her project Faas Design Collab, which “provides creative and professional development to underrepresented creatives desiring to enter the product creation industry.”
Shop House Dogge Bored with the pet ID tags on the market, LA-based Rachel Jones founded Trill Paws, a line of dog accessories that are anything but basic. A tag that reads, “Have your people call my people” and others in the shape of Drake and a bag of money are among some of the gems you’ll find on the Trill Paws site. The brand also donates 25 tags a month to rescue organizations, including the Labelle Foundation in LA and Rescue City in NYC.
Shop Trill Paws Austin-based Nana and Marcus Pfeifer started Homescape Pets after losing their first pup to cancer. “We knew we couldn’t save her life, but we could give her a better quality of life. That included less hardcore drugs and more of what nature provides,” they say. After consulting with integrative veterinarians, they developed all-natural joint supplements, CBD oil, and single-ingredient chews that are all chemical-and-toxin-free, made in the U.S., and contain only organically grown herbs. The Pfeifers also support local shelters, including Austin Pets Alive.
Shop Homescape Pets Ava’s Pet Palace was founded by 14-year-old Ava Dorsey when she was just six years old (try not to get insecure) with the aim to create a healthier world for pets. Today, Ava’s Pet Place provides pet parents with USDA-certified organic and single-ingredient treats in flavors including Cheeze Pleaze, Gone Banana, and Peanutty Paws. Dorsey features rescues and Rescuers of the Month (one of whom is Nina Love, founder of The Black Thornberry) and posts about adoptable pets on her Instagram.
Shop Ava's Pet Place Following the devastation of Hurricane Harvey and Hurricane Irma back in 2017, teen entrepreneur Sir Darius Brown was moved to do something to help the animals who had suffered in the storms. He started stitching together bow ties on his own sewing machine and donating them to local shelters so dogs could sport them in their adoption photos — which he shared on his Instagram account. Beaux & Paws was born. In 2022, Brown received a Global Child Prodigy Award and was sent a personal letter commending his efforts by former President Barack Obama.
Shop Beaux & Paws The first ever no-tear poop bag rolls, Diggs’ Klenex style rolls make it easy to clean up after your dog on walks. This way, you won’t have to worry about spilling your coffee while trying to separate the bags with one hand. The cardboard core is recyclable, which is always a win in the world of poop bags.
$11 at Diggs Cats can’t get enough of your very ’60s shrimp cocktail and fondue appetizers? Let them in on the action with Made by Nacho’s pâté recipe. Made with sustainably caught fish, hydrating bone broth, and flaxseed packed with Omega-6 vitamins, it’s a meal with a satisfying texture they’ll want to sink their teeth into.
$35 at Made by Nacho Containing the majority of your cat’s necessary water intake, Cat Person’s wet meals have 85 person more protein than the industry-standard cat food, allowing your cat to maintain a leaner weight. Formulated for cats of all ages, Cat Person’s meal plans have 16 wet and three dry foods to choose from, so even the pickiest of cats can get their pick of the crop.
$10 at Cat Person Quinoa isn’t just an amazing base for salads — it’s also a high-quality, easily digestible seed that packs a punch when it comes to protein. The ideal meal for the cat who needs to balance their microflora, Lucy Pet’s grain-free dry food is carefully formulated with ingredients that support a healthy immune system.
$20 at Chewy The KONG peanut butter’s squeezable tube makes it easy for pet parents to keep their dogs occupied by filling enrichment toys. The mousse-like texture makes for a delicious treat for pups (with minimal mess).
$6 at Chewy What would New York City be without its iconic skyscrapers? This felt-covered roller dog toy has hidden slots for treats and looks like a cross between One World Trade Center and the Empire State Building — icons of the NYC skyline, if ever there were any.
$33 at Bitch New York Give us your tired, your potty trained, your huddled masses yearning to chew! This canine reimagining of Lady Liberty not only looks cute, it’s also made of heavy-duty cotton canvas with double-stitched seams to stand up to even the most aggressive chewers.
$16 at Harry Barker New Yorkers have a bit of a love/hate relationship with the MTA. We love that the subway and buses exist, but we could do without the constant service delays, re-routings, and ever-rising prices. And then there’s that hideous rule that says dogs have to be in carriers to ride. Ridiculous.
Well, at least your dog can take out their frustrations on this plush, chewable MetroCard — whether home on the couch, or stuck in their carrier (however swanky) on the way to the vet. You get that MetroCard, Rufus! That’ll show ‘em.
$16 at Dog & Co. Uber and Lyft might be taking over, but they’ll never fully replace yellow cabs in New York. And who would want them to? A New York City street without yellow cabs would be like a meadow without grass.
$12 at Amazon Do you know Barbie has her very own shade of pink? You’ve probably seen it before, but now you can see it on your very own dog. Available in five sizes, XS to XL, all dogs can sport the famous hue.
$20 at Dog & Co. This ultra-luxe dog bed is perfect for Barbies who lean toward bougie. Available in two sizes, both intended for smaller pups, this bed is petite enough to be thrown in the washer for easy cleaning. Plus, in keeping with the Barbie theme, you can accessorize with matching blankets (sold separately, of course).
$105 at Dog & Co. If you’re dying to (fake) mirror the actual look of Stereotypical Barbie, this gingham bandana by the ever-so-posh Foggy Dog is the way to go! You can even get it monogrammed with your pet’s name in a very Barbie font, and The Foggy Dog offers a matching scrunchie for pet parents, too!
$26 at The Foggy Dog Everything about Maxbone’s apparel line seems to scream “Barbie” — but none more so that this faux fur bubblegum pink jumper. Made of super soft acrylic, this sweater is giving both designer and durable.
$95 at Maxbone The Foggy Dog is killing it when it comes to the Barbie vibes — especially with their collaboration with designer Olivia Herrick. Complete with collar, leash, and poop-bag holder, this floral set has everything your pup needs to feel their Barbie best.
$99 at The Foggy Dog This hot pink rainbreaker is obviously giving off major Barbie vibes, but it also has an amazing practical feature. This slicker is available in nine sizes, making it one of the most size-inclusive options of this list. It’s pretty, practical, and pink — what more could a pup want?
$60 at Dog & Co. Circling back to actual Barbie brand merch — this toy from the Canada Pooch collab will definitely be your dog’s favorite way of celebrating the movie. Out of the two toys in this line, we recommend this one for strong chewers as the added rope feature makes for a more durable toy. Remember to always supervise your pup when they’re playing with rope toys; the string is a very real choking hazard, which would ruin any Barbie’s day.
$16 at Petco Now that we are over a dozen items into this list, we feel it’s the right time to spotlight Ken with this inner-tube toy by Dog and Co. Get it? ’Cause his job is Beach?
$16 at Dog & Co. The better Canada Pooch option for softer chewers, this rollerblade toy reminds us of one of the best scenes in the movie: when Barbie and Ken don spandex to blade along Venice Beach.
$16 at Petco If Barbie’s dog had a lick-y mat, it would definitely be this floral one from Dog and Co.!
$16 at Dog & Co. Getting into actual Barbie merch, your dog can rep their love/your love for the brand with this bucket hat by Canada Pooch. Canada Pooch collaborated with the doll herself on this one, with a matching collection of a dozen plus accessories. We had to pick our favorite, so we went with this bucket hat because of its Malibu Beach vibes and the fact that it’s available in three different sizes.
$25 at Petco Kong is kind of the OG of tough-chewer accessories, and this aqua toy is no exception. Available in medium and large sizes, this floating rope toy comes in bright orange, making it easy to keep track of underwater.
