The 8 Best Pet Products on Amazon This October

Most online shoppers have at least visited Amazon. The online retail giant’s delivery vans are easy to spot as they cruise around town, dropping off the latest purchases. However, their endless selection is enough to make even the most avid online shopper’s head spin. Even so, we’re here to help. We took the time to dig into their impressive selection of pet supplies.

Best Deals on Pet Costumes

Since Halloween is just around the corner, we wanted to include our favorite costume deals. So, here are three that stand out as perfect reflections of something.

California Costumes Pet Spider Dog Costume

• Made from 100% polyester.
• Features four scary yellow eyes and orange leg fur.

Suitable for medium-sized dogs and smaller, California Costumes’ Pet Spider Dog Costume is adorably creepy. Like many Halloween costumes, it’s not designed to be worn year after year and probably won’t hold up. However, at 39% off, if you’re only planning on using it this year, it’s a good deal on a fun costume.

• Transform your sophisticated cat into a sophisticated vampire cat.

Allow your cat to express their dark side with this three-piece costume. But, of course, it may just bring out your furry sidekick’s inner lunatic. Regardless, you can save an extra 20% off the already reasonable price by checking off the coupon box on the product page.

2 Sets Halloween Bearded Dragon Costume with Leash

Xuniea 2 Sets Halloween Thanksgiving Bearded Dragon Lizard Leash Harness Hat Set

• Dress your bearded dragon up for Halloween this October.
• Made from artificial leather and nylon.

Check Amazon

Bearded dragons are sweet and friendly lizards, in general. They’re so much fun that many people put them in little hats and other outfits. We found just the thing for your beardie for Halloween.

Your little beardie can hang out with you in style this Halloween. The Xuniea 2-Sets Halloween Bearded Dragon Harness Hat Set comes with two outfits. There are two harnesses with batwings attached; one has an orange leash, and the other is black. It also includes two hats and a bow tie.

This costume isn’t currently discounted, but it’s only $11.99 and has free prime shipping.

Best for Dogs: Chuckit Fumble Fetch Toy in Max Glow

Best for Dogs

ChuckIt! Max Glow Fumble Fetch Dog Football

• Great for dogs who love to play fetch.
• Strong durability ensures it can hold up to most chewers.
• Unique bite-sized sections facilitate gripping while dogs hold the toy.

Check Amazon

Our pick for October’s best dog product is the Chuckit Fumble Fetch Toy in max glow. While it isn’t all that important to the dogs, the color is essential to the price. The toy’s max glow (green and white) version will save you $5.95 over the standard orange and blue.

This thing has held up to chewing and crazed fetch sessions for nearly a year. Of course, we can’t guarantee it’ll hold up to all dogs, but we’re happy with it.

Dog toys from Chuckit are known for their durability and fun factor. Their toys are made with quality materials, which you can see. 

The Fumble Fetch Toy is football-shaped, so when it hits the ground, it bounces in unpredictable directions. It’s bound to be a hit for ball-obsessed dogs, and it floats. Adding to the fun, you can use this even in the dark because it glows.

Unlike other balls that dogs have to somehow shove into their mouths to carry, the Fumble Fetch Toy has “bite zones” molded right into the foam before it’s covered in tough, puncture-resistant polyester fabric.

Best for Cats: 7 Ruby Road Cat Hammock Wall Mounted Cat Shelf with Two Steps

Best Eco-Friendly Option

7 Ruby Road Cat Hammock Wall Mounted Cat Shelf

• Sturdy wall perch supports up to two cats.
• Includes steps covered in jute, to help cats reach hammock.
• Hammock section is padded for extra comfort.

Check Amazon

We’ve heard it said that there are two types of cats: tree cats and ground cats. The tree cats can’t wait to get up off the ground, and the ground cats can’t be bothered to climb.

This month’s best deal for cats is the 7 Ruby Road Cat Hammock Wall Mounted Cat Shelf with Two Steps, and it’s just for the tree cats out there. The hammock is double-stitched and reinforced for stability and can support up to two cats, although they don’t list a weight limit. The jute rope that wraps the two steps gives cats an excellent grip as they make their way to and from the hammock.

You can save $20 off the regular price for a limited time. In addition, if you take advantage of free Prime shipping, your tree cat can be lounging in their new bed while they look down upon the world as early as 24 hours.

Best for Birds: Bird Toys for Parakeets, 5-Piece

Best for Birds

Bird Toys for Parakeets, 5pcs

• Includes five toys for birds to enjoy.
• All toys made of natural wood and non-toxic ABS materials.
• Brightly colored to attract birds' attention.

Check Amazon

For all the fun, unique toys available for dogs and cats, sometimes it’s tough to find something great for pet birds. This month, it’s Amazon to the rescue!

We found a five-piece set of enrichment toys for small parrots that comes with a skateboard, basketball hoop with three plastic balls, ring stacker, wooden block puzzle, and three wicker balls. So, your bird can have fun with a variety of toys that engage their mind and enrich their life.

The Bird Toys for Parakeets is our pick for the best bird deal this month. It’s on sale for 30% off the regular price, plus a coupon for an additional 5% off.

Best for Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Animals: Water Lettuce — Floating Live Pond Plant

Best for Aquatic and Semi-Aquatic Animals

Water Lettuce - Floating Live Pond Plant

• Edible water lettuce for aquatic pets.
• Helps clear water naturally.
• About 3 to 5 inches in diameter.
• Grown free of pesticides.

Check Amazon

Keeping an aquarium clean and in balance isn’t an easy task. Sure, things like vacuuming and swapping out the water help, but there are low-maintenance options that also help the water stay clean.

Turtles tend to be particularly adept at destroying anything we put into their tank. So, it’s not easy to find an item they either can’t destroy or can safely eat. For example, we’ve added plastic plants, but these water-loving wrecking machines plow right through and destroy most of them.

Our pick for this month’s best aquatic deal is water lettuce from the Aquarium Plants Discount Store on Amazon. Water lettuce is edible and grows fast enough to replace itself when your baby turtles nibble on it.

Plants can be expensive, and aquatic plants are even more so. However, all the plants in the vendor’s store are 3% off their already reasonable prices. We recommend purchasing several of these for your aquarium. If you aren’t dealing with turtles, even some more delicate plants would be a beautiful addition to any aquarium.

Best for Small Animals: Rabbit Foraging Mat, Interactive Feed Game

Best for Small Animals

Rabbit Foraging Mat, Interactive Feed Game for Boredom, Small Pet Puzzle Toy

• An interactive feed game.
• Stress and anxiety relief for small animals.
• Can be folded into a slow-food bowl for fast eaters.
• Easy to clean.

Check Amazon

Rabbits follow their noses to their food. They spend most of the day foraging for tasty grasses and plants in the wild. Even as pets, their noses lead them to food.

Food puzzles and interactive games help keep them thinking, even as they eat. For example, the Rabbit Foraging Mat Interactive Feed Game is a durable mat that encourages natural foraging behavior. It’s made of polar fleece strips sewn to a nonslip base. It’s easy to load with treats and dry food for your rabbit (or hamster or guinea pig) to snuffle through the fleece strips for food.

The Rabbit Foraging Mat Interactive Feed game is our pick for the best small animal deal. This fabulous toy is available for 55% off the regular price, and Prime One-Day shipping is an available option.
