POPSUGAR pet parenting newsletter

Hello, Popsugar here, with a reminder to treat yourself and your fur babies well. Today, we're continuing a three-part newsletter series focused on pet parenting. This newsletter was written and curated by Popsugar editor-in-chief and dog mom Kelsey Castañon. Presented by I'm a Pet Parent, and These Products Make My Life So Much Easier In any other scenario of my life, I'm not what you would call "woo woo," and yet because I would do (pardon the theatrics) absolutely anything for my dog, Ziggy, recently I somehow found myself sitting next to her during a Sweet Energy reiki session while a lovely woman named Melanie performed acupressure, myofascial release, and energy work. I'm also not much of a shopper, and yet here I am, recommending a handful of products I've loved out of the approximately five gazillion I've bought her over the years. Turns out, being a pet parent means constantly searching for items or experiences that will make your fur baby happier, healthier, and more fulfilled. That comes with a little labor, of course: the long walks to tire them out before work, the scheduled feedings, the constant trips to the trash to empty their litter box. These products are designed to make those parts of your life easier. Between puzzle toys that keep your little companion busy (and minimize guilt for you) during back-to-back meeting days, tools that simplify bath time, hands-free leashes for walks, automatic feeders, and so much more, we've uncovered several game-changing items that make tasks feel less arduous for a pet parent and more enjoyable for your pet. If you're aesthetically inclined, you'll also find cute pet-friendly furniture and cozy dog beds or cat trees. To support the never-ending cleaning that comes with having a pet, allow us to introduce you to our favorite fur-finding vacuums, car-seat covers to keep hairs at bay, and top-entry litter boxes. Convenience, especially when living a life with pets, really does make all the difference. Keep reading to shop every life-changing find.
