It’s no secret that dog owners love their pups unconditionally. But sometimes our furry friends, no matter how adorable they are, are simply a huge pain in the butt.

Whether your pup rips up all your shoes due to boredom, can’t stop barking because of thunderstorm anxiety (which all of the cuddles in the world can’t soothe sometimes), or leaves you special surprises on the carpet because potty training can be hard, they really know how to frustrate us from time to time. Even the most well-behaved dog will have a little problem every now and then. It’s pet parent life.

Luckily, I have tons of ways to help remedy these problems, all thanks to Amazon. From toys to grooming tools to cleaning products after accidents, the ever-popular e-tailer has all of the supplies that any dog owner needs, whether you have a new puppy or an old buddy, a small breed or a large one, just one pup or a few around the house.

I rounded up 30 of the items that any owner of an anxious, shedding, rambunctious, bored, or messy pup needs, all at low prices that will make adding these to your dog’s life (and yours) a no-brainer. Check them out here:

If your pup can’t seem to relieve stress symptoms on its own, don’t fret. These calming chewy supplements aim to reduce anxiety and tension symptoms in your pet with six key ingredients like chamomile and melatonin. Despite their ability to keep your buddy calm during fireworks, trips to the vet, storms, and other stressful situations, they taste like a treat, so your dog won’t know the difference.

If you suspect that your puppy has left you an unpleasant-smelling surprise but you can’t quite detect where it’s coming from, try this UV flashlight to find dry dog urine. This blacklight flashlight makes urine stains that may have dried up glow in the dark, making it easy for you to clean and remove odors from your floors.

Make brushing fun again with these grooming gloves that let you pet and de-shed your furry friend all at once. Just put these on, pet your dog like normal, and watch as the rubber bristles brush and de-mat your dog’s coat in no time, leaving it super shiny and soft. These gloves also work great for massaging shampoo into their coat during bath time.

I haven’t come across a dog that doesn’t love a good chew toy, so why not order your pup a whole set of them? Switching out your dog’s toys every now and then keeps them engaged, and this 10-pack of toys can play fetch or tug-of-war with, and are even great for teething pups who need something to chew on so they don’t get into your slippers.

Ensure that your doggy bags won’t leak or break with it’s time to curb your dog on your daily walk with these heavy-duty bags. These poop bags come in an adorable bone-shaped carrying case that clips right onto the leash. These bags are thicker than other bags on the market, so once you wrap up your pup’s poops, there’s not a chance of them coming out or seeping through.

Love walking your dog but can’t handle their constant pulling with a weak leash? This heavy-duty rope leash is made from tough nylon rope that can help you get a better grip on your fur baby and protect your hands thanks to the padded handle. The 5-foot long rope is even reflective so you can feel more comfortable walking your dog at night, which is why this leash has a remarkable 4.8-star rating on Amazon.

If it makes you nervous to see your furry friend to sit in the backseat of your vehicle without anything to keep them secure, consider adding this dog seat belt to your car. This harness both attaches to your dog’s collar and buckles into a nearby seatbelt in your car, keeping them safe and stable without constraining them.

No matter how much we love our pets, we don’t always love the smells they leave around our homes. This spray cleaner helps get rid of those unpleasant odors around the house and instead leaves behind a fresh citrus scent. It can even remove urine stains and eliminate bacteria. It works on pretty much any surface, too, from carpet, to tile, to tricky upholstery.

These ear drops are a must have for pups in desperate need of an ear clean. Made from non-toxic, naturally-derived ingredients and easy to use, this cleanser will help get rid of the gunky stuff and irritation that’s making your dog’s ears itch and ooze with a few drops and a little massage.

Keep your fur baby occupied with this lick mat. Just smear some wet food or peanut butter onto the mat, and let them lick it and remain distracted for a little while you do what you need to do, whether that’s giving them a bath, clipping their nails, or getting some work done for yourself. This mat’s texture helps soothe dogs (and cats) and can help encourage slower eating.

Think a coat can’t do anything to calm your dog down during stressful situations like thunderstorms and firework shows? Think again — this calming coat from the American Kennel Club (a.k.a. the organization that runs the famous dog show) applies gentle pressure, like a hug, onto your pup’s torso that provides a calming effect that will help them de-stress.

Use this grooming brush daily and you’ll be sure to see less dog hair and fur all over your clothes, carpets, and furniture.

My own dog has this bed, and let me tell ya, it’s so cozy, it’ll be hard for your pup to leave it after a long nap. This round dog bed is super plush and soft, and even has a raised outer rim to provide better neck and head support and that allows your dog to embrace its natural urge to burrow. It comes in three sizes and four colors, so it can work for the size of your doggo and the decor of your home.

This comb is unique in that it has two rows of teeth that allow for super efficient at-home grooming. Both you and your doggo will love how quickly and gently this comb can get through their coat, and the smooth, stainless steel rounded pin ends ensure the comb won’t irritate or harm your pet’s sensitive skin.

When needed, you can clean this with a vacuum, hose, or wet towel.
