As much as I love spending time with my own cats, I’m honestly running out of ways to keep them entertained and prevent them from knocking down an item or two in my home, out of sheer boredom. If you’re pretty much in the same precarious situation as me and are always looking for new ways to keep your pet entertained, productive, and happy, then this collection of pet products promises to come to your rescue! From a modular pet-friendly sofa to a doggy igloo – these product designs will take good care of your pet, and keep them active and content. You can take a little breather, while they wrestle around with these newfound fun products! These are the pet products you need in your home.
1. The Quarter Sofa
Called the Quarter Sofa, this pet-friendly and modular sofa is built using a mixture of wood and fabric. The sofa features multiple modules in the shape of circles and squares, that can be easily assembled and disassembled, and moved around to create different configurations that work exceptionally for your cat, home, and you.
Why is it noteworthy?
The unique configurations that you can make using the modules serve as a playground for cats! They can move and jump around them, even allowing them to play together, if you have multiple cats. Cats are curious creatures that love new adventures and mysteries, and I do believe the Quarter sofa could be a great one for them.
What we like
- The different modules can be rearranged to accommodate different numbers of people
- You can use the hollow spaces to store and display items such as magazines, books, and other tidbits
What we dislike
- It’s a concept
- If your cat poops or pees in the hollow spaces, they could be difficult to clean
2. Doggy Igloo
This doggy igloo is an ingenious design created to be a specially designed resting space for doggos, where they are provided with a cool environment, regardless of their breed or natural habitat.
Why is it noteworthy?
With an igloo, all pets can enjoy the benefits of a cool space freely and comfortably helping them stay happier and healthier anywhere. Igloo features a streamlined passage and an inner dome structure that ensures optimal functionality and safety while allowing your dog to move in and out of the cool environment effortlessly.

What we dislike
- Space-consuming and bulky design
5. The 6-alloy Chair
Conceptualized by SUNRIU Design, the 6-alloy chair doesn’t look like any of the regular or traditional chairs you see on the market, or anywhere around you. It looks as if a stool and a chair had a love child – resulting in the intriguing-looking 6-alloy chair.
Why is it noteworthy?
Built using aluminum and Piñatex (leather created from pineapple leaf), the 6-alloy chair features an aluminum body, that comprises of three tubes. The three tubes are subtly interlocked together, with two pieces of leather forming the seating section, and a nifty storage section beneath it (or a cute spot for your pet to nap in).
What we like
- Eco-friendly design
- Easy to clean and maintain
What we dislike

- Doesn’t look too comfy to sit on for longer durations
6. Tile Sticker for Cats
The Tile Sticker for Cats pet tracker helps you stay informed of your cat’s whereabouts at all times. The super functional gadget ensures that the tracker is always close to your cat’s neck, preventing any kind of dangling.
Why is it noteworthy?
The tracker’s location tracking always keeps you informed of your cat’s whereabouts, even if she’s feeling shy or naughty. It features a lightweight, 10-gram design that is super comfy for your kitty to wear. It also has a Bluetooth range of up to 250 feet.
What we like
- Features a water-resistant design
- Compatible with Alexa, Siri, and Google voice assistants, so you can always track your cat hands-free
What we dislike
- We’re not sure how comfortable your cat would feel wearing it, or how long he/she would be able to wear it for
7. Swelltone
Meal time can often be stressful for pets, who end up spilling food out of their bowl, which their humans later need to clean up. To eliminate this stress, this good-looking food bowl is meant to be functional and useful, providing a pleasant experience for everyone at home.
Why is it noteworthy?
It makes “ease of eating” the focus of its design, and it does so in a simple yet effective way. The stainless steel bowl that holds the food can tilt up to an angle of 20 degrees, which makes it easy for pets to slurp every last bit without spilling their food.
What we like
- We don’t need to clean up after our pets after meal time, owing to the bowl titling at 20 degrees
- Posh + sleek aesthetics
What we dislike
- The product might be difficult to integrate into the lives of pets who are used to a certain mealtime routine, and particular products
8. The PawMate Beacon
This conceptual pet tracker ensures that your pets are always safe and secure, especially if you’re away during the day or for longer periods of time.
Why is it noteworthy?
It looks pretty much like a regular dog or cat collar but is able to do more than just be an identification for your fur baby. It’s more like an activity tracker but instead of telling you how many steps you’ve taken, it gives you insight into your pet’s activity. It is partnered with the PawMate Beacon which you place in certain areas to help in the activity tracking.
What we like
- There’s an accompanying app that lets you enter your pet details and gives you stats and insights as well as real-time data
What we dislike
- Without real-world testing, it’s difficult to verify how well and how much distance the tracker covers
9. The Bowowhaus
Designed by Conran and Partners, the Bowowhaus is a mobile hut doghouse meant to help dogs live a nomadic lifestyle. It features pencil-thin slabs of light wood and dark gray-hued panels and shades, providing doggos with a cushy and comfy traveler ambiance.
Why is it noteworthy?
A flight of stairs welcomes the dogs into the hut, while a space for food containers and bowls is propped up behind the house, to ensure that no food and water is spilled within the little home. It features a triangular shape, which provides a generous amount of space, for dogs of all sizes and shapes to enter and lounge about in the hut comfortably.
What we like
- The roof of the dog house has been topped with solar panels, and the wheels are battery-operated, allowing the home to be easily transported and moved from one place to another
What we dislike
- We’re not sure whether dogs would actually feel comfortable and safe traveling in the mobile doghouse

Walk your doggo in style with the MUi Magnetic Leash! The stylish leash has been designed for medium and large dogs, and it features a patented MUi connection system that makes the latching process effortless and smooth.
