Don't get me wrong, I loved the
original version of the Hepper Pod Beds, but I'm loving this incarnation even more. Let me explain why:
- A liner is now removable (washable for "accidents"!) and reversible in snuggy sherpa and smooth microfiber.
- The improved metal frame features two legs to make it more stable and a larger entry hole both perfect for those fluffier or chunkier cats and small dogs.
- There's prettier color combinations, too!

When I first spotted this on
moderncat, I thought it was a prototype for a futuristic creation. However, much to my surprise, the
Litter-Garage ($180) already exists. According to the manufacturer's website, it only takes an hour of installation (provided you have an existing cat door) and is a safe way to
stash the stinky box in the garage without worrying about a feline
taking a nap under your car.

Even if you're toting the same Bags on Board container as everyone else (
Naomi and
Amanda included), create your own design starring your famous furball on the front. Add text, clip art, photos, borders, and frames to make a one-of-a-kind holder at
MyBagsOnBoard.com (and, trust me, this can be addictive). The
Design Your Own Dispenser ($7.25) comes with two printable, pre-cut skins or you can create and cut out as many as you want at home!

I was already a big fan of
Wonderdog, especially since they make cute walking harnesses (which are way harder to locate for those
noncollar wearing pups). Now I'm loving their warm, earthy-toned additions for Fall so much that I've picked my three favorite styles below. Don't worry
matching fans, they stock coordinating leashes, too!

I know I'm biased here, but I love the product names for
Gwen Gear. Based here in San Francisco, the company's collars and leashes are named after streets and neighborhoods in the city by the bay. The company began when the owners got a cutie patootie English Bulldog named – you guessed it – Gwen and were inspired to create this line for their beloved pooch and their beloved city.
