Goldfish are nice, but they don't quite deliver the love like dogs and (occasionally) cats do. Here are nine pet must-haves from Amazon. Four are for dogs, three are for cats and the last one is for both. All nine are useful and clever and we promise in return your dog will thank you and your cat will show you its butt and walk away.

Tug Tangle-Free Retractable Dog Leash

 

Some retractable dog leashes will only retract if your dog is directly straight ahead. Some are sized for the hands of a child. Still others have lock and release buttons that require twelve fingers and an extra hand. Not this one. It's retractable from all angles, has an amply-sized handle, and features easy stop and go.

Kitty Pass Interior Cat Door

 

There's nothing a cat abhors more than a closed door. But sometimes doors just need to be shut. This Kitty Pass creates a cute but subtle portal for your cats to come and go as they please (after you saw the hole). It fits any standard door and cats up to 20 pounds.

Regalo 192-Inch Interior Gate

 

Living in harmony with dogs includes clearly delineating where they can and can't go. When words don't do the trick, a gate will make sure that couch stays a people-only couch. This gate is 16 feet long, mounts to the wall and can gate off a significant portion of a room, with a convenient door for human access.

Casper Dog Bed

 

Your dog's favorite bed will always be your bed. Give them something that's pretty close to what you sleep on and hopefully they'll relent. This Casper Dog Bed is made by the same people who make the ever popular memory foam mattresses for humans. The dog bed has a rip-resistant and removable cover that happily goes in the washer.

Katris Scratching Lounger

 

Cats scratch. It's just what they do. And if you'd rather they not do it on your furniture, an alternative must be offered. This is a two-piece, configurable scratcher that's made with extra durable cardboard. Four clips are included to let you connect the angled pieces in a variety of different ways, making for one modern and couch-saving scratch station.

Catit Stainless Steel Drinking Fountain

 

Keeping a cat healthy means making sure they drink enough water. But finicky cats can be weird about their water source. This fountain continuously circulates a half gallon of water, keeping it fresh with a replaceable filter. Though your cat's favorite water will still be your glass on the bedside table.

Kong Extreme Chew Toy

 

Fill it with peanut butter, stick dog biscuits in it, or put in some of Kong's own Easy Treat product (think spray cheese for dogs) and give it to your serious chewer. The nigh-on indestructible toy will help with teething and boredom, and make for a fun game of fetch as the natural rubber toy bounces around with unpredictable abandon.

Petcubes Bites 2

 

The Secret Life of Pets would have been a different movie had the owners had one of these. Not only does it let you see what your furry friends do when you're gone, it lets you talk to them and dispense a treat whenever you want. Video is activated by motion and the last four hours of footage is stored on the cloud for free (a subscription gets you more).
