An essential duty of kitty ownership is cleaning up the poop — can't be avoided. Now there are plenty of pricey products that come highly recommended (like the Litter Robot); however, community member Arcsis shared her love for an affordable alternative in the Street Team —this Omega Paw Roll 'n Clean Litter Box ($29):
My favorite thing about this is you never have to touch, or even come close to touching waste. You fill it with your favorite scooping litter, roll it upside down, roll back and empty the drawer.

New season, new collar. Switch up your pampered pal's walktime accessories and check out the new styles from Bella Bean. Each offers a coordinating leash ($48) if you like to go the matchy-matchy route but the patterns still function prettily alone.

It's fishing season — kitty fishing season. If you want to trap a feline with some feathered, catnip-filled, or fishy-shaped bait, I've gathered up 10 tempters for playful cats. Remember, let her snatch it every once in a while, but otherwise, happy casting.

If you don't like handling poop — but don't hate it enough to buy a PooTrap — here's another way for you to be a hands-off, responsible dog owner. The Swoop Dog Poop Scooper ($20) and Swoop Mini Pooper Scooper ($18) lets a plastic mechanical hand do your dirty work. Fitting either their special biodegradable bags, or your ordinary grocery store variety, attach the sack on the bottom and it grabs and bags the waste keeping your hands completely clean.

Who says Labor Day marks the figurative end of Summer?! Certainly not me, as I'm trying to squeeze in a few more weekends of fun in the sun with my pooch, who is a big fan of bringing the outdoors in (on his paws and coat). This crate cover turns my ordinary living room into cabana central.

Aww, what did that adoro fluffy animal ever do to you?! I'm betting this clever shirt got its name based on the common letters between Maltese and machine, but still I've got nothing but love for the teacup pups. (If rage involves chasing and licking, North has a lot of that .

I first learned about Jon Wye during my chat with The Lazy Environmentalist — although they're best known for a line of leather belts, he also offers some super-unique doggie collars by FREDFRED. Priced at $35, the leather is 100 percent full grain (no composite here) and all designs are hand-dyed with numerous layers to get the rich hues and shades in each item. They've got a bunch of unique patterns and designs, but I've gotta go bananas — monkey see, monkey do.

I've got vacation on the brain so when I spotted cheekily named dog beds, I imagined myself hitting up one of these spots with North resting alongside.
I love the color palettes used for the Blueblood products — they'll leave you green with envy and red in the face that they don't make them in human sizes!
The full bed/cover set runs $105-$210 but, for those Molly Mutt stuff sack fans, you can also purchase just the pretty covers for $76-$150.

Well, these dishes have four propped feet so I guess the name Dogleg Diner ($98) is appropriate, but I still imagine a soda fountain with pups on roller skates. OK, that's just me. Anyway, coming in four powder-coated steel colors, these solid stands will hold up to even those vigorously greedy gobblers.
