The Great Yukon Sweater - Matching Sizes for Dogs + Humans, $42 at Dog Threads

Style-conscious pet parents have a unifying dilemma – in a sea of pet products, 95% are eyesores. A quick Google search for wooden crates will result in a bizarre collection of side table crates and lacquered cherry wood abominations better left in the '90s. A hunt for the perfect dog stairs takes you down a rabbit hole of $150 cardboard boxes covered in brown microfiber. The nightmare continues for every other pet accessory; cheap sweaters that run three sizes too small, beds that can’t handle a casual anxiety dig session, and crates that are actually puppy jail cells.

Now, take a deep breath and leave those horrible, horrible images behind. It’s time to embark on a fantastic journey through the wonders of the Internet in the form of design-forward, Scandi-inspired, and just plain fancy products and accessories for your pet, your home, and you.

Small dogs and senior puppers seem like the apparent users of this ramp, but it can also protect dogs of any age from joint wear and tear. The ramp’s height is adjusted using notches, similar to a poolside lounger, and the handsome wood design folds flat to easily slide under your couch or bed when not in use.

Solid Brass Hand-Stamped Personalized Tag

This hand-stamped solid brass tag is so cute that you’ll want to order two – one for your beloved fur baby and one for you. In addition to your pet’s name and your phone number on the back, you’re able to add the teeny tiniest graphic.

Fable Wood and Acrylic Small Dog Crate

Much to the relief of picky pet parents, Fable drops this modern redesign. Light bentwood, rounded edges, and a minimal-but-warm design will be right at home even in the poshest of pads.

Modern Dog and Cat House

Dwell magazine subscribers will appreciate the clean lines of this Scandi-inspired pet crate that doubles as a bed. The cutouts ensure proper airflow while maintaining the enclosed feel that makes pets feel safe.

The natural felted sheep wool is shaped into a kitty cocoon with a small opening to provide a cozy place to curl up.

This handmade dog bed doesn’t sacrifice quality for style. A water-resistant, washable cover protects the 4” orthopedic mattress in a very stylish mudcloth-inspired print.

Top Entry Cat Litter Box

While it resembles an IKEA wastebasket, this litter box’s departure from traditional design tackles two problems that cat owners bemoan. The top entry lid has grooves and cutouts so that less litter is tracked by kitty’s feet into your house, and dogs can no longer access the all-you-can-eat buffet (gag).

Mid-Century Modern Dog and Cat Bowls

You won’t want to hide these bowls in the laundry room – eggshell-white, deep ceramic bowls are given the MCM-treatment with golden wood stands.

These eye-catching dog bowls are just the pop of color your house needs – customize yours with the seller’s massive selection of on-trend colors and fonts.

Heavy, steel dog crates are overkill when it comes to small-ish dogs, especially when lugging it to grandma’s house. This lightweight, fully-collapsible crate eases up on the aggressive design of other models and reassembles with a simple pull of the handle. Bottom line: this crate is both attractive and safer than traditional dog crates.

Found My Animal Ombré Rope Leash with Brass Hardware

This leash’s Marine-grade rope is hand-dyed in Brooklyn, hand-spliced, “whipped” for further reinforcement and finished with solid brass hardware. While this sounds like a "Portlandia" episode, the Found My Animal ombré rope leash is actually super chic and will last forever.

If you get a visceral reaction from the mere sight of a play tent, this adorable puppy (or kitty) cone will put you over the edge. The soft Heathered grey felt exterior and whimsical shape create ultimate hygge for pets and owners.

Max Bone Ani Knit Jumper

A graphic leopard print in turmeric and cream will look “fetch” on any pampered pup; it comes in green as well and in sizes ranging from Chihuahua to Golden Retriever.

You won’t get garish colors or busted squeakers here – this minimalist, stripped-down toy is the Montessori-approved wooden stacker of dog toys.

Safety Mate Expandable Wall Mounted Pet Gate

“Baby gates” are the bane of style-conscious pet owners’ existence. Okay, maybe that’s dramatic. The options are limited to flimsy folding panels or extremely baby-proof models best suited for actual babies. And all of them are ugly. Except for this one, this one, and the Safety Mate expandable wall mounted gate pictured above. Clean lines, wood construction, and affordable price make this one a keeper.

Store the 423 dog toys BarkBox sent you last year in a two-tone woven cotton storage basket that’s functional and will fit right in with your new crate, bed, pet cone, and ramp.

The color palette and super cute design make this squirrel look like a baby toy, but a closer look reveals knotted rope, a lack of stuffing, and a satisfying crinkle. This little guy will keep your pet busy for hours without the worry of consuming polyfill, squeaker parts, or plastic eyeballs.

Bougie pups and parents will love Aesop’s Animal Shampoo. The mild formula gets pets squeaky clean, and its incredible aroma deodorizes with plant-derived ingredients like a lemon rind, tea tree, and spearmint.

Modern Soft Plush Round Pet Bed

This fluffy-as-a-cloud plush bed is so cozy you’ll have trouble getting your fur kiddos out of it. Now, if only they made a human-sized version.

Dog Threads The Great Yukon Sweater 

You’ll be twinning the holiday photo game with these ridiculously cute matching sweaters. Dog Threads makes shirts and sweaters for the entire family in a vast range of doggo and human sizes, including kids.
