Life with pets brings love, laughter, and the occasional mess. That’s where Home Helpers come in — the practical tools that make daily pet care cleaner, easier, and stress-free. From odor control and potty training to vacuums and flea prevention, these essentials help keep your home fresh while keeping your pets comfortable.
Must Have Home Helpers
ANGRY ORANGE Pet Odor Eliminator
If you’ve ever walked into a room and thought “yep, that smells like dog,” this is the fix. ANGRY ORANGE cuts through even the strongest pet odors and leaves behind a light citrus smell instead of that heavy “cleaner” scent. Great for carpets, kennels, or anywhere accidents happen.
Glad for Pets Black Charcoal Puppy Pads
Not all pee pads are created equal. These use charcoal to absorb faster and keep smells down, which makes a huge difference if you’re training a puppy or have an older dog. They don’t leak through as easily, and they actually feel sturdier than the usual thin pads.
BugMD Flea and Tick Concentrate
This one’s handy because you mix it up yourself and spray it on bedding, crates, or kennels. It’s plant-based, so it doesn’t leave that harsh chemical smell, but it still helps keep fleas and ticks away from your pet’s space.
Lint Rollers for Pet Hair
A must-have if you have pets that shed. These rollers grab fur off couches, blankets, and even clothes right before you head out the door. Keep one by the entryway and one in the car — you’ll thank yourself later.
Out! PetCare Disposable Dog Diapers
For puppies still learning, senior dogs, or males with marking habits, these belly bands are a lifesaver. They’re more comfortable than they look, and they help protect your furniture and rugs from surprise accidents.
Vet’s Best Flea and Tick Home Spray
This is another plant-based spray, but it’s ready to use — no mixing required. It works on bedding and furniture, and it smells a lot better than chemical sprays. Good to have on hand during flea season.
HOME GENIE Wool Reusable Dryer Balls
If you’re tired of pulling pet hair off your clothes after laundry, dryer balls help cut static and loosen fur. They also make your clothes dry a little faster, which is a nice bonus. Way more eco-friendly than single-use dryer sheets.
BLACK+DECKER dustbuster QuickClean Cordless Handheld Vacuum
This is the grab-and-go vacuum for quick messes. Perfect for pet hair on the couch cushions or scattered litter around a cage. It’s lightweight and simple, no frills but always handy.
BLACK+DECKER dustbuster AdvancedClean Cordless Handheld Vacuum
A stronger, longer-lasting version of the QuickClean. If you’ve got multiple pets or heavier shedding, this one’s worth it. The crevice tool is great for getting fur out of corners or between cushions.
Bissell Featherweight Stick Vacuum
This one is great if you don’t want to lug around a full upright vacuum. It’s light, bagless, and perfect for daily sweeps of fur or small messes. Good starter vacuum if you don’t need all the bells and whistles.
Shark Navigator Lift-Away Upright Vacuum
When you’re ready for the heavy hitter, the Shark is the one. Strong suction, big dust cup, HEPA filter for allergens, and you can detach it to use on stairs or furniture. If your pets shed a lot, this vacuum earns its place fast.
Final Note
Pets fill our homes with joy, but they also bring fur, odors, and unexpected challenges. The right tools make the difference between daily stress and a home that feels clean, fresh, and welcoming. Home Helpers aren’t just products — they’re the support system that lets you focus on what really matters: enjoying life with your pets.
