Best National Pet Day deals
Inaba Churu Cat Treats
These are our favorite lickable cat treats — they’re great for picky eaters, and have a high moisture content that makes them hydrating for your pet. Once you cut the tube open, you can squeeze out the puree and hold it while your cat licks. These treats are free from grains, preservatives and artificial colors, according to the brand.
Chuckit Ultra Ball
This Chuckit ball won an NBC Select Pet Award because it has a textured surface that’s great for rougher play with your dog. Our NBC Select editors love that it comes in multiple sizes, so you can use it for both small and large breeds). It also has dips on the sides that make it easier to hold and throw.
Blue Buffalo Blue Bits Dog Treats
These meat-flavored treats are made for both puppies and adult dogs. They have omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids to help with skin and coat health, and they don’t have soy, wheat or artificial flavors or preservatives, according to the brand.
Adams Plus Flea & Tick Shampoo
This is our pick for the best shampoo to get rid of fleas because it has aloe vera, lanolin, coconut extract and oatmeal that makes it safe for your pet’s sensitive pet. It helps kill adult fleas, eggs, larvae, ticks and lice, according to the brand. However, be sure to keep the shampoo out of our pet’s eyes to avoid irritation.
Kong ZoomGroom Dog Brush
This is one of our favorite multipurpose dog brushes. It has rubber bristles, so you can use it during bath time or on a dry coat, according to the brand. It works especially well for short-haired breeds that are prone to shedding.
Feliway Classic Cat Calming Pheromone Diffuser
NBC Select reporter Zoe Malin bought this diffuser when she got her first kitten and she’s been using it ever since. It’s designed to calm your cat by mimicking feline pheromones, according to the brand. Malin says diffusing the pheromone in her apartment made her kitten less anxious, especially when Malin was away from home.
Smartbones Smartsticks Beef Chew Dog Treats
These stick dog treats are a favorite of NBC Select updates editor Mili Godio, who feeds them to her 7-year-old havanese and bichon frise mix, Bella. “I feed these treats to her every morning, and it makes my day to see how happy she gets,” says Godio. These treats are beef-flavored and rawhide-free, plus they have a hard texture that’s great for keeping your dog’s teeth and gums healthy. They’re made with real beef, along with vitamins and minerals that help with easing their digestion, according to the brand.
Burt’s Bees for Dogs Natural Oatmeal Shampoo
If your dog is struggling with a dry coat, this dog shampoo may be the answer — it uses colloidal oatmeal to help relieve dry, itchy skin, according to the brand. It has a gentle formula and subtle scent that makes it great for sensitive skin, and it doesn’t have parabens, sulfates or phthalates that might irritate your pet’s skin, according to the brand.
Andiker Cat Spiral Springs
Cats love to chase springs, and these spirals are colorful enough to keep them interested for long periods of time, according to the feline trainers we spoke to for our story about the best cat toys. They’re affordable, easy to clean and low-maintenance — all you have to do is brush or nudge the toy and it starts moving.
