Pet Owners With Little Dogs Swear By These 27 ProductsPuzzles they can reach and stuffies they can cuddle with.

1.

A legs-out dog carrier because your tiny fur baby can only walk so far during your Saturday morning constitutional before they refuse to take another step. This will free your hands from carrying your tired pup so that you can grip your water tumbler, phone, keys, and wallet.

amazon.com

Promising review: “Well, she is obsessed. I have a 10-year-old, 10-pound Yorkie. She is super in love. Literally bought it to see if we could get her used to being in a carrier on a motorcycle, but I think we might have created a monster. Now her highness demands to be put in the harness and carried around.” —Lauren Nute

Get it from Amazon for $21.59+ (available in three sizes and five colors). 

2. Or a three-wheel pet stroller if you’re planning on taking your small pup on your long Hot Girl Walk throughout the city.

Promising review: “This is the perfect stroller for my 7-pound dog! The three wheels can turn 360 degrees, she is safe all zipped up inside, but can still see everything while breathing fresh air through the netting at the top and bottom of the front area. It was super easy to put together, and it folds down again for easy storage. There’s a roomy area for your purse underneath, as well as two cupholders at the handle and a roomy area in between for treats, potty bags, and keys. It’s such a great price, too! And did I mention that it’s pink?” —tracey

Get it from Amazon for $26.99+ (available in six colors).

3. A pack of recordable answer buzzers, because sometimes it’s hard to differentiate between an “I’m hungry” bark and an “I need to go outside, NOW!” bark. This will give you and your pup a chance at a language you can both understand.

See it in action on TikTok!

Promising review: “We’re using these to give my dog a voice. I’ve recorded ‘potty outside,’ ‘water please,’ and ‘treat’ into these buttons and put them around the house for her to use. Now, when she needs to use the restroom, she says ‘potty outside.’ When she comes back in, she goes straight to ‘treat’ and asks for her reward. When her bowl is empty, she lets me know by pushing ‘water, please.’ She is a 9-pound Chihuahua with arthritis in her front paw and has no problems pushing the buttons down to make them speak. Great purchase. I want to buy more and add more phrases. (Phrases like ‘play,’ ‘car ride,’ ‘bedtime,’ and ‘cuddles!’) I am 100% happy!” —Tye Rannosaurus

4.

An alligator-shaped toothbrush chew toy if your puppy would rather play all day instead of sitting still for a tooth-cleaning session.

amazon.com

Promising review: “Our 6-pound doxie absolutely loves this toy, and it’s almost indestructible. In two days, he’s managed to remove a nostril and some teeth, but that’s after hours of constant chewing. We love it!!” —John

Get it from Amazon for $9.99+ (available in two colors and three pack variations).

5.

A hedgehog hide-and-seek plush toy, just in case your pup is one to rip apart pillows, sweaters, and shoes to see what’s inside. Simply stuff this toy with the plush (and squeaky!) hedgehogs and watch them have at this game for hours.

Chewy

Promising review: “Our 12-pound shih-poo loves everything about this toy. He brings the hedgehogs to me to throw, and he loves playing with their home.” —Loreen

Get it from Chewy for $10.97 (originally $15.99).

6.

A taco-shaped plush chew toy that is great for both playtime and your mature pup’s teeth. This toy contains a squeaker inside for an extra fun touch during a pre-dinner chew.

amazon.com, amazon.com

Promising review: “Our dog knows what to do when we say, ‘It’s taco time!’ This toy is awesome — easily his favorite. He’s had it for just over a year and has not shredded it. (He’s a 16-pound bichon Malti-poo mix.) It outlasted other plush toys, and he took them in the yard, too. We launder his plush toys with his blankets.” —Brendan

Get it from Amazon for $8.99.

7. A pet sofa bed so cute that you might wonder if it comes in human sizes (or you just might try to snuggle up with your pet in this one).

Funny Fuzzy

Promising review: “I love this dog bed, and so do the dogs. I have two Westies, and they take turns sleeping in it. It’s great that the cover unzips so you can wash/dry it in your machines!” —Deborah

Get it from Funny Fuzzy for $47.01+ (available in three sizes and five colors/patterns).

8.

A dog sling carrier for those long-haul trips that will surely tire out your dog. This sling is made of breathable mesh, meaning that your dog will never overheat while you are on your adventure together.

amazon.com

Promising review: “I ordered a size small for my 3-pound Yorkie. It fits perfectly with extra room. I love the adjustable strap and iPhone holder. She seems comfortable in it. Would recommend it for your furry baby.” –Tor Tor

Get it from Amazon for $17.99+ (available in sizes S–L and in 13 colors).

9.

A plush cactus toy that is perfect for your dog to destroy. It contains another toy stuffed inside of it, meaning that once your dog (which you know they will) tears through the first layer of plush, they will have another squeaky toy to play with. It’s also extremely soft, so you might just find this toy in your toddler’s collection, too!

Amazon

Promising review: “My little dog Rooney (9-pound Maltese mix) is a fuzzy menace. He destroys toys in minutes, leaving a huge mess and a waste of money. He loves to shred his toys and some of our belongings. I got the small shredable cactus toy for him, and he proceeded to rip it open. Once he found a second layer of toy and no stuffing, his bloodlust was quenched…temporarily. Will definitely be buying more.” —Lauren

Get it from Amazon for $13.99 (available in two styles).

10.

A set of pet steps so that you’ll never have to escape your snug blanket cocoon to let your dog onto the bed. This is great for easy snuggle access, whether it’s on the bed or on the couch.

amazon.com

Promising review: “They seem pretty sturdy for a small dog. My dog is 9 pounds. To make him more comfortable, I placed the stairs next to the nightstand. I also have a rug underneath, which makes the stairs a little wobbly, but when I place them on a flat surface, they are fine. I also like how they have a handle at the back — really easy to move around. Overall, I’m really happy with these stairs. 
As you can see from the photos, Loki is really happy with them.” —Tanya Uhri

Get it from Amazon for $31.99+ (available in eight sizes).

11. A puzzle feeder that your pup will probably nudge whenever they’re feeling a bit peckish. Reviewers note that this is pretty sturdy, meaning your dog can likely bite, scratch, and drag this around without you worrying about it falling apart. 

Promising review: “My 3-pound Yorkie can’t get enough of this! I just use her kibble, and she goes to town. When she is done, she will check the puzzle again to make sure she didn’t leave any!!!! This is the best!!” —Nancy

Get it from Amazon for $8.99+ (available in two difficulties).

12.

A Nylabone teething pacifier because a teething puppy will chew on practically anything to soothe their growing pains. Consider this for the little pupper who won’t stop gnawing at pretty much everything around the house.

Lola/ Chewy

Promising review: “I bought this for my girlfriend’s small (8-pound) 1-year-old puppy who has ruined several of her shoes and destroyed other chew toys in a matter of minutes, leaving them in pieces, some of which she swallowed. The toy was a big hit the second it was given to the pup, and she has been chewing on it often for five days and has yet to do much damage. It is much sturdier than many of the other chew toys I have seen, and she seems to like carrying it around. It also gets used for ‘tug-of-war’ with the other small dog at times. I will be buying more of these!” —Danidance

Get it from Chewy for $8.99.

13.

An orthopedic pet bed that’ll support your dog’s lazy bones as they snooze away dreaming of biscuits and Frisbees.

amazon.com

Promising review: “My little guy is truly a pampered pup now that he has this bed. We love it as it gives him a space to lounge around close to us without having to go into his crate. Nowadays, when I notice he’s been oddly quiet for a while, I find him snuggled on this bed, content as can be. My dog is a chewer and digs, and digs, and digs his beds until he settles down. Most beds I’ve bought, I’ll see damage almost immediately from his biting/digging. However this bed shows no damage from this. Albeit he is 5 pounds, I often think he’s on a mission to destroy. The quality of this bed is superior to others I have bought. This looks and feels like it will last a very long time and even blends in nicely with our apartment furniture. Actually, it looks like a mini version of our gray couch (for humans). Easy assembly. Little pup is happy, so we are happy.” –Eddy the Pup

Get it from Amazon for $69.95+ (available in four sizes and in three colors).

14.

A reversible dog coat so that your lil’ dog remains warm and cozy, even during brisk winter walks through the park. Dogs are like people in that the more mature they become, the colder they become, too. Here’s to keeping our pups warm 24/7!

amazon.com

Promising reviews: “My Maltese, Toby loves it. He is 18 months, still a puppy. I’ve tried other clothing for him, but not until this jacket did he start wearing other clothing. He is a larger Maltese at 10 pounds, so I got a medium. His back is about 12 inches long and it covers his entire back. When it is really cold, I put a sweater underneath, then his collar. The jacket fits great, however it also fits great when he just has the collar and jacket on. So easy to put on and it is reversible for when it rains. He even plays and sleeps with it on in the house. Everything is attached with heavy-duty Velcro, one on each side and one at the neck. The zipper on top for the collar loops in order to attach the leash, which makes it perfect.” –gidget

Get it from Amazon for $14.99+ (available in sizes XS–4XL and in 11 colors).

15.

A dog hair trimmer because your gracious sidekick can use some help in shedding their fur. This will help you, too, as your home becomes (somewhat) dander free.

amazon.com

Promising review: “I have a 12-pound Shih-poo and this works beautifully on his fur, plus is adjustable in every way it needs to be. He’s very skittish about the noise from corded clippers and this one is as quiet as a powerful one can be and still get the job done. As the listing says, it charges quickly and holds the charge for plenty of time to do a complete clip job. The guides snap on/off easily, plus the comb and scissors are a good bonus. This one is a winner!” –MJW

Get it from Amazon for $34.99+ (available in four colors).

16. A puzzle toy that gives your fur baby the chance to play with their food. This puzzle is pretty low to the ground, meaning most small dogs should have a blast spinning it around for their kibble.

Promising review: “I have recently rescued an 8-year-old 8-pound Maltese.
She had no interest in playing with toys of any variety. I have now purchased three Trixie items for her — this requires more thought and more physical effort than the others (which I rotate with Mad Scientist). She is so treat-oriented that she will play often.” —Claudia

Get it from Amazon for $9.45.

17.

A pack of Greenies treats because the dental health of our furry companions is just as important as our dental health. As dogs age, dental health is of the utmost importance to maintain heart health.

amazon.com

Promising review: “My 2-pound tiny teacup Yorkie loves these. She gets one every morning!” —Tamara

Get it from Amazon for $32.98.

18. A snuggle puppy stuffed toy that your doggo will likely use as a body pillow (well, that’s when they’re not snuggling you, of course).

Promising review: “I think this is the best thing I have bought in many years. We got a 2.5-pound shih tzu. It’s tough on puppies having to be separated from their mom and siblings. Our puppy sleeps either on top of this product or right by its side. She loves it, and I can’t imagine her not having it.” —Kindle Customer

Get it from Amazon for $39.95 (available in five colors).

19.

A Rocco & Roxie stain and odor eliminator because accidents happen (especially with age)! This spray contains enzymes that eat away at any odor you might be tackling with your small pet.

amazon.com

Promising review: “This is simply the best product I have ever used to get dog urine out of my carpets. I’ve had dogs all my life, several of which were rescues who had issues with house training. My current little Shih-tzu is 7 pounds of dog, but can produce a whopper of a stain. She’d had several accidents in the same spot of carpet in our upstairs hallway. I’d used our steam cleaner to no avail several times. I bought a gallon of this stuff, followed the directions, and basically poured the whole thing in that corner. Voilá — no more stain. No more odor. At all. I was stunned. Get this product if you have pets. It’s almost like magic.” –Amy

Get it from Amazon for $19.31.

20.

A set of four tennis balls so that your doggo’s favorite fetching toy can go with the rest of your pastel interior design choices.

Wild One

Promising reviews: “Love that these come in small now for my Chihuahua! He’s soooo adorable with them and loves them.” —Evelyn M.

“These are so pretty, easy to clean, and most importantly — pup is obsessed. She has chewed through one of them so far, but it’s taken over a month. I think the quality is great, and I have peace of mind knowing there aren’t any harsh chemicals that could hurt her. About to buy two more packs!” —Lindsay W.

Get it from Wild Ones for $10 (available in two sizes and three colors).

21. A bag of rawhide kabobs that are small yet sturdy enough for your pup to chew on for a while. These rawhide sticks have soft treats wrapped around them, meaning your dog will enjoy the instant gratification of a light bite while they chew through the rest of their snack.

Promising reviews: “Our 7.5-pound dog loves this product! I have found the ones I’ve ordered on Amazon have much more meat product on them than the ones I bought numerous times at our local super center.” —Jp

Get a 1.5-pound bag from Amazon for $17.98 (available in three other sizes and various multi-packs).

22. An interactive treat puzzle because your dog may be tiny, but it sometimes seems like they can eat triple their body weight in kibble. This will help them slow down during mealtime while helping their digestive health over time.

Promising review: “My dog has a bad habit of absolutely inhaling his food, so I wanted to get him something more intricate than a regular puzzle bowl. I thought that this might be too big or too complicated for my little 7-pound Morkie, but it’s actually perfect!” —Amanda

Get it from Amazon for $8.38 (available in several styles/colors).

23.

A no-tug harness that’ll make morning strolls pain-free. Harnesses are always the answer when looking for a pair to your leash because collars are a bit rough around dogs’ necks (especially when it comes to our tiny community).

amazon.com

Promising review: “My Havanese mix is about 16 pounds and fits a small harness perfectly. It’s super padded and adjustable around the neck and behind their legs. Generous cutouts around the legs prevent rubbing or restricting movement. It’s a little crooked in one of my pictures, but it fits snugly and even when adjusted correctly. Great harness!” –J

Get it from Amazon for $18.95+ (available in sizes S-XL and in 15 colors).

24. An adjustable dog bowl if you anticipate that your teensy tiny pup will grow in the next few months. This dog bowl has adjustable legs that can elevate to three different heights, meaning you won’t have to buy new bowls each time your pup has a growth spurt.
Promising review: “I love how these are designed. I have one dog with a long neck, and he drank more water from these bowls because they are the right height (medium). The bowls are perfect for water for my 18-pound dogs as they hold enough for the whole day.” —WingSpread

Get it from Amazon for $14.36.

25.

A Lamb Chop squeaky toy to keep your dog busy for hours on end. If you are (or were) a Lamb Chop fan, you’ll have a double-whammy toy and nostalgic decor piece.

amazon.com

Promising review: “I have a 10-pound shih tzu, and she is in love with this — she carries it around everywhere and loves attacking its squeaky feet. 😊” —LockedforEditing

Get it from Amazon for $6.99+ (available in nine designs).

26. An activity mat that’s perfect for dogs who want to feel like they’re foraging out in the woods — but live in the middle of a city. You can place treats around the folds and cups in this mat and see them have a blast “hunting” for their snacks.Promising review: “I got the medium size because my dog is only 10 pounds, and I’m so glad I did. The medium is plenty large enough for my little guy. I put his breakfast in it every morning before I leave the house, and it has significantly reduced his separation anxiety since he is expending energy so early. It is also so great on rainy and super blizzard days when we can’t go for walks. It gives him something to occupy himself with and triggers his natural instincts, especially since he’s a terrier and loves to hunt. I am so grateful I found this mat and would definitely recommend it.” —D

Get it from Amazon for $20.99+ (available in three sizes).

27. A mummy dog toy because your doggo deserves a toy that they can both bite at and cuddle with whenever they see fit.

Promising review: “Got this for my 5-month-old puppy (15 pounds) on a whim because I dug the idea. I decided to introduce this toy with me sitting with him the whole time and we had a great time for about 45 minutes straight. This clever puppy actually fully unzipped the opening on his own. That was fun….and literally, one by one, he methodically pulled each organ out. We had a great time with it. When we were done, I put the guts back in (hope to train him to do it…ha) and put it away for another play session for now.” —On Stranger Tides

Get it from Amazon for $23.95.
