Getting your cat or dog a toy they absolutely love, a treat they keep coming back for, or gear that makes life with pets furry or finned easier is one of the best feelings. Case in point: There is no greater joy than watching my parents’ dog carry her stuffed llama toy from room to room.
PetSmart carries thousands of great products for every kind of pet, as well as all the brands you know and love. Here are a few of their products that shoppers rave about the most.
1. A classic Kong for your favorite pup
With any dog, Kong is king.
Kongs are well-known among dog owners for their durability, their unique shape, and their simplicity: Fill the rubbery cone with peanut butter or soft food and freeze it (or not) to present to your pup as an extra-enticing chew toy.
Reviewers love how long it keeps aggressive chewers occupied and less likely to turn their toothy attention to less durable objects (such as furniture). Many recommended the purchase for its longevity alone. Kongs come in different sizes and puppy and extra-tough variants to suit any dog.

2. A treat for fresher breath and cleaner teeth
The uber-popular dog treat has the added bonus of helping care for your pup's choppers.
If you have a dog that’s anything like my parents’, their breath is a problem. Luckily, there are Greenies. These waxy treats are intended to “clean [teeth] down to the gumline to fight plaque and tartar and freshen breath.”
Many reviewers say that Greenies are their pets’ favorite treat—the oral care capability is just a happy bonus. Greenies offers sizes ranging from Teenie to Large to benefit your Chihuahua and Great Pyrenees alike. The brand also makes a version for cats.

3. An aquarium staple
This fish tank gravel? It rocks.
There's something eternally whimsical about multi-colored aquarium rocks. Top Fin makes all sorts of fishy items, and the brand's aquarium gravel claims to be formulated to assist in both mechanical and biological filtration.
Reviewers note they're a good value for the price as the colors stays bright through long-term use—they come in many colors and combos, including all-white, all-blue and "Mardi Gras," a festive multicolor mix.

4. A squeezable treat that will get your cat’s attention
These are a real crowd pleaser (just not the human crowd).
Wrangling a cat into a carrier or to trim their nails can seem like an impossible task. That's where these irresistible treats come in. My roommate's cat is so enamored with these chicken-flavored squeezable tubes that he comes running at the sound of the crinkling package.
Reviewers say they've used this treat to help their cats take medicine, to make vet visits a bit more bearable, and to promote healthier appetites in cats that had been losing weight.

6. A humane harness for your eager walker

If you have a pup that's a little too rambunctious on walks, having a dog harness you trust to keep them secure and attached to your leash is essential.

7. Pellet litter to switch up your routine
Do your cat and yourself a favor by upgrading their commode.
Finding the right cat litter situation is just as important for you as it is for your cat. If yours isn’t working out, The Breeze System might be the upgrade you need. The box itself is double-layered, so urine flows down onto an absorbent, odor-controlling pad below, and solid waste sits up top among the litter so it's easier to scoop away. The litter pellets are larger in size than many, so cats are less likely to track them all over the house.
Reviewers rave about the Breeze system for its superior odor-controlling capabilities and because it reduces the task of sweeping up sandy cat litter.

Formulated to kill fleas and ticks as well as eliminate eggs and larvae, Frontline Plus only has to be applied once a month, and each pack comes with three doses.

Versatility is the name of the game with this multi-panel dog gate.

This multi-panel option has hinges that allow you to adjust its shape and how it fits, especially in odd-sized openings—say, between rooms in an open floor plan. In addition, one panel functions as a door, so you can pass through instead of having to step over it.
Reviewers rave about how well this easy-to-use door fit at "intersections" in their home.
