You might think a litter tray that rakes itself means you never have to scoop litter again, but the SmartScoop only removes the clumps fifteen minutes later. It can’t do anything with urine, so you still have to empty and wash the tray. Of course, that is better than having to scoop it, so the product is popular.

This book looks at products like these. It tells you what each product does and what it doesn’t do.

The largest portion of the book looks at products for dogs. There are posts on different types of leads, different styles of harnesses, and collars with embedded lights. There are also posts on dog kennels, and stairs to help small dogs and old dogs jump on and off furniture.

There are products in this book to help owners of cats and other small animals as well.

A climbing tower gives an indoor cat a place to explore, and a top-of-the-wardrobe perch. There are also posts on different styles of cat carriers and cages.

There are posts in the book on different types of harnesses and leashes for rabbits as well as an obstacle course for hamsters. There is even a hamster racing set.

Generally, the best source of information in this sub is about food. Is more expensive dog or cat food better? What food should I be giving my bird? What snacks are good for my dog? What is good for my cat to eat besides dry food? What treats are okay to give my dog? There are posts about these things and more.

People also come here to ask for help with what to buy their pets for the holidays, especially about the holidays.
