Dog messes, fixed

Best for: Old or repeat pee spots

Heads up: Takes longer than chemical cleaners

Best for: A smell that outlasted an enzyme soak

Heads up: Has a plant-based fragrance.

Best for: Furniture and car seats

Heads up: Small head: perfect for seams and car seats, slow for a whole couch.

Best for: Dog blankets and hairy laundry

Heads up: Shake the blanket out first. The discs catch a lot of what's left.

Best for: Couches and car interiors

Heads up: Short battery: charge it after each couch session.

Best for: Carpet in heavy-shedding homes

Heads up: Heavier than a stick vac. Worth it when dander, not just fur, is the problem.

Best for: Mud packed between the toes

Heads up: Pick the size by paw width.

Best for: Quick paw cleaning

Heads up: Light dirt only: spray on, wipe off. Caked mud needs a paw washer cup.

Best for: Daily walks

Heads up: Thinner than premium bags

Best for: Daily walks

Heads up: Adds a little bulk at the handle. Fair trade for never patting empty pockets.

Best for: Large rooms and open spaces

Heads up: No app, no smarts: set it once and let it run. Sleep mode keeps the bedroom quiet.

Best for: Tech-savvy pet owners

Heads up: Set up the Wi-Fi once, then run it from the couch on your phone.

Best for: A plant-based chew on VOHC's list

Heads up: Picky chewer? Try a few before you stock up

Best for: Dogs who let you brush, or lick it off a finger

Heads up: Contains peppermint oil.

Best for: Minor dry or irritated spots

Heads up: Made for minor dry spots. Hot spots, rashes or wounds? See the vet first.

Best for: Sensitive skin maintenance

Heads up: Cherry blossom scent. Nose-sensitive dog? Skip this one.

Best for: 120 chews per container

Heads up: Fewer strains than PetLab Co. Probiotics for Dogs, which has 8. This one is the daily-maintenance chew, 120 to the container.

Best for: Senior dogs, with your vet's OK

Heads up: Capsules need opening. Do it over the bowl so nothing lands on the floor.
