21 Signs Your Pet Is Spoiled

Honey Staff | Sep 26, 2020

For all the love and joy your fur-babies bring, you want to repay them with the world...or at least a few extra treats and attention, right? If they are happy, you're happy. Truth is, though, the pet gadgets and toys upon toys may be spoiling our furry friends. You may be in denial; many of us paw-rents are, so we've compiled a list of signs to either prove or dispel the truth.

There's absolutely nothing wrong with spoiling your pup or kitty — they deserve it — but if you're going to shower your rabbit, guinea pig, or whatever with gifts, at least save some money while you're at it. Ahead, 21 indicators you spoil your pet, plus 21 sale items to offset the costs (or use to buy more toys and treats).

1. They don't drink out of any ol' bowl.

No, your dog or kitty likes their water served straight from a spout. And if it isn't elevated above the ground, then that H20 isn't worth their time. Although this fountain works for both dogs and cats, this filtered water comes with a cat wand and protective mat too.

SHOP: Pet Fit For Life Plastic Cat Water Fountain with Cat Wand and Mat, 67-oz, Was $44.95; Now $34.95, available at Chewy

2. Your furry friend is a foodie.

Some dogs and cats are picky. Others have sensitive palates. Whichever the case, your pet would love a subscription-based food service that delivers right to their doggy door (or catio). Right now, get 50% off your first subscription and earn 1,200-12,500 Honey Gold (valued at $12-$125 in gift cards). See Honey Gold terms.

3. They have something to manage their stress.

Even the VIP life can weigh on the most confident pups. When the neighborhood noise gets too overwhelming or the nail trims gets too much, let Fido calm down and luxuriate in a compression hoodie.

SHOP: Happy Hoodie Calming Dog Compression Hoodie, Was $13.75; Now $12.49, available at Chewy

4. They travel in style.

Wherever you go, they go. So, of course, you don't want to bring just any ol' cat bed for your fur-baby to the hotel or Airbnb. You want to bring a decked-out cat tower they can climb and play in — and will easily pack up once you're ready to go.

SHOP: Pet Life Climbertree Circular Obstacle Play-Active Travel Collapsible Travel Pet Cat House, Was $79.99; Now $51.94, available at Walmart

5. Your dog is more SWOL than you.

Dogs need exercise. A walk around the neighborhood is nice, and a run on the beach is fun. But true champions train with an agility kit.

6. They only do window seats.

Kitty not only deserves, but demands, the best view in the home. They can spend hours perched up high, passing judgment on those below, or doing what they do best: sun-beaming.

7. You moonlight as an unpaid pet groomer.

Small, long-haired dogs are so cute and precious that it's impossible for any owner not to spoil them. These breeds need a lot of maintenance to keep their fur matte-free. Add groomer to your resume with this tool.

8. Your cat is unimpressed.

9. There's no such thing as too much.

Too many cuddles? Too much love? Going overboard when it comes to your dog's happiness? Not a thing. So a jumbo-sized inflatable ball your dog will love? Add to cart asap.

Why put in all that energy into jumping on a bed or couch when he or she can gracefully stride up stairs?

SHOP: Majestic Pet Pet Stairs, Was $224; Now$132.99, available at JCPenney

12. Only yummy treats are acceptable.

Your picky pup wants treats that are delicious. The fact that it cleans the gumline too? Well, that's more for your benefit. We won't tell!

21. Your pet prefers artisanal treats.
