16 Ways to Spoil Your Cats, Dogs, and Furbabies of Every Kind

As a newly minted owner of an adorable Australian Shepherd pup, I can tell you that pets can quite quickly take over your entire life. And what’s so bad about that? The joys of pet ownership are endless — the unbridled excitement when you walk in the door, the furry snuggles, unconditional companionship and the suspense of seeing what trouble they’ll get into next (as long as it doesn’t involve chewing the good shoes beyond recognition).

Pets also provide a host of benefits to their owners’ general well-being including lower blood pressure, reduced stress, improved mental health and, in the case of a dog, increased exercise and social connection. So let’s lavish some love on our furry friends with these amazing finds.
