It’s National Pet Day! In honor of the occasion, there’s no better way to celebrate the unconditional love we have for our pets than to spoil them a little (more). Here at AT, we’re constantly gushing about the animals that make every day special, so it was a breeze to find plenty of recommendations for items that really help our pets shine. Below, check out our picks for the best products to buy for your canine companions on National Pet Day — including treat tossers, grooming tools, and everything in between — according to the AT editors whose dogs have tried out many of them firsthandpaw. (Sorry cat lovers, this one’s for the pups.)

The In-Between Bath Bundle
$40$35

Does your dog get a little funky between baths? Rowan's In-Between Bath Bundle is the solution you need. The two-piece set includes aloe-infused dry shampoo and a coat refresh conditioner that you simply spray on and brush through to have your dog's coat (and scent) freshened up in no time.

Deep Cleanse Shampoo Dispensing Brush
$14

Bathing and brushing go hand in hand with this shampoo-dispensing brush from Maxbone. The silicone brush has a vessel to hold shampoo that slowly empties as you wash your pup, massaging the soap into their fur for a deep clean that leaves them looking great.

Sweet Potato Jerky
$18

"My puppy is food obsessed," comments writer Stella. "She will finish her dinner in 35 seconds or less — I've timed her. These single-ingredient Sweet Potato Jerky treats not only take her a long time to chew through, but they also don't trigger any of her allergies. I love that they are organic, minimally processed, and sustainably grown."

$18 at Petaluma
Furbo 360° View Treat-Tossing Dog Camera
$210$145

This innovative pet camera has an incredible feature: It throws dog treats! The Furbo Dog Camera has an HD camera with 4X zoom and night vision that really lets you see just exactly what your pet is getting up to when you’re not there. The gadget can hold up to 100 pieces of your dog’s favorite treats, and you can toss them to your pet via the Furbo app.

Bone Broth Bundle for Dogs
$21

The editors at The Kitchn named this Bone Broth Bundle as one of the choice options for picky-eating dogs. Featuring slow-cooked ingredients like turkey, grass-fed beef, carrots, and pumpkin, the broth can be used to rehydrate freeze-dried foods or as a yummy kibble topper.

$21 at Open Farm Pet
The Game
$55

Fable's The Game is designed to replicate the experience of hunting prey, making it the ultimate kibble-dispensing toy. With a bowling-pin-like bob, the egg-shaped toy wobbles as it's prodded and rolled by your furry friend, which releases bits of kibble or treats. With multiple complexity settings, The Game is endlessly versatile and will keep any doggo occupied. Bonus: It's 20 percent off for National Pet Day!

$55 at Fable Pets
Zee.Bowl
$33

"Whether I am taking it on the go with me or using it to feed my pup dinner at home, the ZeeBowl's adjustable base and removable (and dishwasher- and microwave-safe) feed bowl make this pet essential more versatile than any other I've owned," says writer Stella. "Plus, it's just so much prettier than metal alternatives."

$33 at ZeeDog
Casper Dog Bed, Medium
$169$152

The Casper Dog Bed made our Best List as the Human Bed Replacement for good reason! Senior editor Danielle swears by this bed for her 40-pound pit bull, Jet, saying that it allows him to really “stretch out lengthwise on his side or belly without falling off the bed.”
