The Best Black Friday Pet Deals, According to Our Editors

Looking to upgrade Fido’s sleeping situation? The editors at the Country Living Pet Lab named PetFusion’s orthopedic bed the best overall dog bed. “This bed earned our top spot because it hit all of our criteria while also being one of the cheapest beds we tested,” wrote our editors. “It has both a removable comfort cover and waterproof cover, is comfortable yet supportive, and is fairly durable, especially considering the option to buy an additional comfort cover separately. After a full year of use, the bed is still in great condition, even after more than a few cleans.”

Editor Hannah Jones has a dog who is obsessed with this toy, and she’s just one of many, many fans of the floatable, fetch-friendly ball that we named one of the best indestructible dog toys. “With daily (very aggressive) use, the Jolly Ball doesn’t look the prettiest (as it’s an outside-only toy), but it stands up well against my dog’s chewing, pawing, and thrashing—not an easy feat,” says Jones.

Who knew dogs just want a ball tied to a tree? Jolly Pets did! They made the ultimate toy that won’t tire you out, but will give your dog a great workout. “Our dog is an intense fetch fanatic and has incredible jaw strength, and this toy has held up to her daily playing for months,” editor Hannah Jones wrote, of the Tree Tugger. “The bouncy bungie cord is made of a ballistic nylon that can take even the strongest dogs yanking on it. Trust us, you should be more worried about your tree limb than this cord.”

Our testers raved about this puzzle feeder, which will make your dog go nuts — in the best way. It’s especially good for dogs who wolf down their meal and could use a little extra time to digest.

Armakat’s 68-inch cat tree earned the title of best overall cat tree from yours truly thanks to its many perches and quality fabric. “This tower is sturdy and not altogether unattractive,” I wrote in our review. “Of all the cat towers I tested, this one had the best quality of fabric; soft and carpet-like, it’s not easy for kitty’s claws to tear apart.”

Six months in, my cat continues to love this tree and it’s showed few signs of wear and tear.

It’s hard to beat the modern design of this handwoven cat tree from PetPals. This twine-wrapped wonder is just as impressive in person as it is online. “I find her on it all the time,” our testing editor said of her cat. “She has a favorite bed, and I think she’s using this cat tree more than the bed now.”

Tens of thousands of cat owners swear by this colorful toy, which won the title of best tower toy for cats in our Pet Lab.
