My pup Ziggy helps me write and edit most of my columns, and he recently pointed out that it was way past time to do a review of dog products. While I’m happy to oblige, when he and I started researching today’s roundup, we noticed a trend — Amazon keeps selling out of these reviewer-favorite dog products. So here’s a word of advice from Ziggy and me to you: If you like one of these products, go ahead and buy it now while it’s still on the shelves.

There are so many amazing things on this list in categories that run the gamut from feeding to grooming to toys to treating and everything in between. One of my favorites, though, is this paw cleaner that is absolutely ingenious. Completely portable, you just add a little water to the container, put one of your pup’s paws inside, then twist to rinse and remove dirt. It’s so simple and makes it really easy to keep those muddy footprints out of everything from your car to your front hall.

Another favorite is this doorbell that’s designed so that your pupper can ring it when he needs to go outside. It’s battery-powered and installs in seconds without wiring of any kind, and has a receiver that plugs into any standard electrical outlet. The bell also comes with training instructions, so you and your furry friend can come to a more civilized arrangement when nature calls.

I wish I could highlight more of the fantastic doggie items on this list, but I’m off to place my own order for Ziggy.
