Having a pet is the ultimate adventure. You get to share all sorts of memories with an animal companion who loves you unconditionally. But it’s easy to make mistakes along the way that end up costing you money you don’t actually have to spend. Luckily, Amazon has a ton of cheap, clever pet products that will save you cash in the long run — plus, they’ll make your life a lot easier.

If your dog is a tough chewer — or you have a teething puppy — you’re probably used to constantly replacing toys and leashes. But what if you replaced your pup’s stuffed animals with these stuffing-free toys that are filled with crinkle paper instead?

You can also find chew-proof leashes made out of braided steel that will stand up to dogs of all sizes.

Cat owners know the struggle of finding their furniture covered in claw scratches, but there are small fixes you can make to preserve your upholstery.

Pet ownership has its challenges, but these genius products on Amazon can help you correct your mistakes, so you can focus on what’s most important — loving your furry friend.

Cat’s don’t like the sticky texture (so they’ll stop going after the upholstery), and since it’s transparent, guests won’t even notice it’s there.
