Best Pet Supplies Under $25

Pet supplies add up fast — we've all been there, walking out of the pet store wondering how you just spent $80 on a dog. But some of the best pet products out there cost less than $25, and they're the ones your pets will actually use instead of ignoring in favor of a cardboard box. The KONG Classic is basically indestructible and keeps dogs busy for hours when you stuff it with peanut butter. It's been the go-to dog toy for decades because it just works. For cats, the Catit Food Tree is brilliant — it makes them work for their food, which is way healthier than scarfing it down in 30 seconds. Speaking of eating too fast, the Outward Hound Slo Bowl does the same thing for dogs and costs about $11. And don't sleep on the boring essentials. Earth Rated poop bags are something every dog owner needs, and a 270-count box for $10 means you won't run out for months. The Temptations cat treat tub is the size of a small drum and will make your cat your best friend. These aren't glamorous purchases, but your pets don't care about glamour.

Frequently Asked Questions

What's the best toy for a dog that destroys everything?

The KONG Classic, no contest. It's made of natural rubber that holds up to aggressive chewers. Fill it with peanut butter, freeze it, and it'll keep even the most determined destroyer occupied. We've seen KONGs last years with heavy chewers. Just make sure to get the right size for your dog.

Are slow feeder bowls actually good for dogs?

Vets recommend them, especially for dogs that inhale their food. Eating too fast can cause bloating, vomiting, and in large breeds it increases the risk of gastric torsion (which is serious). The Outward Hound Fun Feeder slows them down significantly. It's one of those products that's genuinely good for your pet's health.

What do cats actually like playing with?

Honestly? Every cat is different and half of them prefer the packaging over the toy. But puzzle feeders like the Catit Food Tree have a high success rate because they tap into the hunting instinct. Crinkle balls and feather wands are also reliable favorites. Don't spend a fortune — try a few cheap options and see what yours goes crazy for.

How often should I replace dog toys?

Inspect them regularly and toss anything with small pieces coming off — swallowed bits can cause intestinal blockages. Rubber toys like KONGs last basically forever unless they're cracked. Plush toys might need replacing every few weeks if your dog is a ripper. Rotate toys to keep things interesting.
