Treat your furry friends to these chic food bowls, trees, toys, and more.

Pets are like children—some people love them, some people hate them, and most fall somewhere on the spectrum in between. Regardless of where you sit on this continuum, though, there’s likely either a pet or a person in your life that would appreciate any of these thoughtful and frankly, very nice-to-look-at gifts. Living with a small animal inside your house doesn’t mean your interiors have to look like a PetSmart!
Most window perches for cats are serviceable and (sadly) sort of hideous. This stainless-steel orb from Catenary looks like art and holds up to 30 lbs of cat, so even Mr. Jiggles can sit comfortably and enjoy the birds.
A minimalist frame with a celestial point of view, the Orbit Window Hammock turns your cat into a serene centerpiece, while the world drifts quietly around and below. Forged from polished iron, its circular form catches light and creates elegant lines from every angle.
If someone you love has a cat and you want them (the person, and also the cat) to love you forever, get them a LitterRobot. Trust me.
The new Litter-Robot 5 is the advanced self-cleaning litter box designed to help you connect to your cat like never before. With smart insights, real-time updates, weight tracking, and WasteID, it’s perfect for multi-cat families and tech enthusiasts.
A cheery leash from Hay might make walking the dog in the depths of winter a little more fun.
Get ready for the compliments when you take your dog for a walk with this dual-colored braided leash from Danish brand HAY. It’s made from recycled polyester and includes a D-ring for clipping to your dog’s collar and a loop handle for easy holding.
Stainless-steel pet food bowls are fine, but ceramic has personality and cleans just as easily. (This particular number is microwave and dishwasher-safe.)
A special hand moulded dog bowl, in an olive on purple stripes design with olive dots on the inside. Each and every bowl is made with ♡ and painted by hand in Greece. No two will ever be the same. All ceramic objects are made to order and will be shipped in a maximum of 10 business days.
For the pet whose personal style skews Memphis Milano...
Elevate your pet’s dining experience with the VETRESKA Chroma Ceramic Elevated Dog & Cat Bowl & Mat Set. This stylish set features a vibrant ceramic bowl perched on a playful bamboo stand.
...and for the pet who prefers Le Corbusier.
Inspired by the radiance of halos, Catenary's Halo motif is an elegant design of its likeness, now available in a stunning mirrored chrome finish created through the electroplating of titanium.
Dress your dog in a natty little coat that screams Bode but make it fun.
Designed in London, this adjustable quilted patchwork dog coat features an embroidered DM detail for a distinctive, signature touch. Crafted to keep your pup warm and comfortable, it's as functional as it is stylish, and the perfect match for your favourite autumn/winter Damson Madder prints.
A dog collar that matches their (and your) personality.
Super durable, super strong, and can withstand pulling. Our collars are adjustable!
This sinuous cat perch pulls double duty as a surprisingly chic side table.

A very precious cat carrier that looks like a little house—and will fit under the seat on an airplane.
Your cat's first-class ticket to stress-free travel. Porto offers home-like comfort for cats on the move—whether they're jet-setting at 30,000 feet or begrudgingly heading to the vet.
This food bowl holder looks like those acrylic coffee tables everyone loved (and now leaves on the street), and is a surprisingly chic solution for Mr. Fluffy’s dinner time.
Our Medium Bronze Double Bowl Feeder is a modern brown lucite feeding stand with 3.5 cup stainless steel metal bowls. Our raised acrylic feeder is 7" tall and provides an ergonomically correct eating position for medium and large pets.
If you have an Eero Ario Ball chair, then your cat must also have something that looks a lot like it.
The Boss Cat Bed can swivel to suit both cats who want to supervise their kingdom, and those who prefer to sleep in seclusion.
A dog bed for humans that will likely accommodate a dog (or three).

Unlike traditional sticky lint rollers, this technology uses fine bristles that brush against your fabric to collect hair,...
