Pet lovers nationwide know no bounds in demonstrating their love for our furry friends of the canine and kitten variety. So if you’re kicking yourself that you missed marking National Pet Day on April 11 (seriously, pop it in the calendar for next year), panic not. We're here to present 20 fantastic options for treating them any day you like...
PAKEWAY Champagne Gold Astronaut Travel Pet Carrier
Why is it that most pet carriers look like an ugly reject box abandoned by a warehouse? Not so with this space age beauty from PAKEWAY. Forget a trip to the vet. Pack your furbaby into one of these and it will look like they’re taking off on a trip to the moon and back.
Have you ever bought someone you love a Christmas or birthday gift that’s kind all about you really? Of course not, neither have we. But all we’re saying is that you don’t have to look like a dag while carrying snacks and poopbags while walking pup, thanks to these snazzy pouches.
Frank Green Squeaky Toy 2 Pack
Marvellous mutts sure do love to munch on anything that squeaks melodiously to their ears. But do their toys always have to resemble a mauled teddy bear with mange? The answer is no! You can opt for this sleek duo that look more like wifi speakers than a bunny squealer.
You know when you strut out of a salon feeling like a whole new you after having your do rinsed? We all love that soapy scalp massage goodness that feels like bath time for your brain, so why not treat your furbabies to a bliss-out too? This gentle shampoo is pet pampering perfection.
Madden Sweet Lollipop Sisal Vertical Cat Scratching Post Cat Scratcher
Cats are elegantly beautiful, discerning creatures. Which is why it makes zero sense that their scratching posts – a must-have to save the furniture – are almost always astoundingly ugly. Not so with this luscious lollypop lookalike from Madden. We’re madly in love with it.
Irregular Cloud Ceramic Pet Bowl
Sometimes imperfection is pitch perfect. We adore Kintsugi, the Japanese tradition of mending broken pottery with molten gold, or hand-crafted pieces that leave the tradesperson’s bumps and waves in place. That’s why we’re all for these gloriously clumpy cloud pet bowls.
Harlow Harry Bellevue 162 Pet Parfum
We love our canine critter so much, but even the most devoted follower of very good pets will admit that sometimes they whiff a bit. Well, the good folks at Harlow Harry have a sweet-scented solution. One spritz of this pet-friendly perfume will chase the stank away.
Adairs Ziggy Cream Boucle Pet Bed
Sometimes it feels like a trek, dragging yourself to bed at the end of a busy day. Not so for our pampered pooches and kitties, who we over-accommodate with a bed in every room. But you simply must add this too-cute cloud of squishy love to the collection.
ZODIAC Fruity Tofu Cat Litter – Watermelon
Much like our pups’ coats can sometimes pong, we all know exactly when our cuddly cats have relieved themselves. Fear not, kitten-lovers, you can mask that pongy potty stench with this sweet as, watermelon-scented biodegradable litter that takes the edge off.
PETCUBE Bites 2 Lite Smart HD Camera With Treat

We all love to indulge in gourmet treats from time to time, so why should our sweet lil puppers miss out on a fancy feast? Combining Alaskan salmon with all-natural superfoods including seaweed, this tasty meal topping will add a raw food protein boost to dinnertime.
Pawpawup Cat Litter Scoop and Dustpan Combo
Scroll through our Instagram feeds and you’d think living with a cute cat is all fluffy fun. Of course it is, but we also know there’s a lot of mucky work that goes into looking after them too. Which is why we dig this matching litter scoop and dustpan, making tidy-up easy and cute! RRP $18
Country Road Recycled Alpine Reversible Puffer
With winter on the way (unless you’re one of our lucky Queensland customers) doggies of all shapes and sizes might shiver a bit on their morning walk. So why not help them rug up with Country Road’s adorable puffer vests in reversible colours?
Adairs Fetch Maisy Forest Corduroy Fold-Out Pet Bed
Remember when you first brought your bundle of joy home and you were all like “Not on the bed or sofa’. Remember how fast that rule went out the window? Well this gorgeous corduroy fold-out bed keeps them and your car seats super-nice while looking swish too. Win-win.
Pet Sealed Food Storage Container Bin
Our pets like their food to be presented on a platter as fresh as we would plate up our own family meals. Which is why it’s worth investing in a proper airtight container for their fave nosh. This pop-open moisture-proof container will look seriously spiffy in your laundry or pantry.
Estilo Living Luxe Felt Cat Cave
We know that cats value their private time, and that they loved to feel all snuggled up when they take themselves to bed. But if you want to keep the serene vibe of your dream home intact, we recommend investing in these neutral tone sculptural Merino wool felt retreats.
Love indulging in lotions and potions to smooth your cares away with a gentle massage of your palms and soles? Then you might want to share the love with your pampered pets. This luscious nose and paw balm blends beeswax with shea butter, manuka honey and coconut oil.
Pettecc iFetch Too Automatic Ball Launcher
We love to play fetch with our pups, but sometimes enough is enough. Never for them, though, only for our tired old arms. Which is why we dig the idea of Pettecc’s iFetch. You or your pup can pop a ball into the funnel and it will fire at will until even delirious doggy is done.
Ollie & James Collar Walk Set – Blush
Dedicated followers of fashion may sometimes blush at the less than glamorous options available in doggy leashes and collars. Thankfully Ollie & James have you and your pawsome pet’s back, presenting this runway-ready Italian leather set in vegetable-tanned rose pink.
What’s more soothing than watching your pet drift off into la la land? Bonus points if they emit tiny snores! Anything that’s likely to encourage such cuteness is a winner in our book, so why not indulge in this super-cute bone-shaped boucle pillow, whether they’re a pooch or not?
