Tips and Products for Keeping Your Pet’s Things Organized

Add Multifunctional Furniture to Your Rooms

Multifunctional furniture is a great way to save space, especially if you live in a small house or apartment. Look for pieces that have storage compartments that can be used to hide away pet products like beds, blankets, puzzle toys, and other items you might not need daily.

One example is the Living&Giving 47.2" Ottoman with Storage, which is available in multiple colors and features soft fabric. Open the lid to find plenty of storage space inside, perfect for holding blankets, beds, and more.

Another example is the Best Choice Products 9-Cube Storage Organizer. It can blend in with the rest of your room’s design, and can be used as a media stand or a basic organizer with decorative bins that will hold your pet’s things to keep them out of sight.

Keep Pet Toys in a Cute Basket

You’ve probably accumulated a lot of toys for your pet over the years. Rather than leaving them scattered on the floor or putting them in drawers and closets where they can be hard to find, use a cute basket that can be added to your living room, bedroom, home office, or any space where your pet spends a lot of time.

You can find baskets with or without lids. A good example is the Goodpick Woven Storage Basket, which comes in various colors to blend seamlessly into any room. Fill it with all of your pet’s favorite toys so they’re always easy to grab for playtime.

Note: Be sure to place potentially hazardous toys, such as those with strings that could be chewed and swallowed, in areas your pet can’t reach.

Organize and Label Items in Stackable Storage Containers

Storage containers come in a range of sizes and are another good way to keep your pet’s supplies organized. Label the bins and keep them in one place for easy access.

You can have separate bins for things like:

• Indoor and outdoor toys
• Training products
• Speech buttons and button mats  
• Medications and supplements
• Blankets and heating pads
• Grooming products
• Jackets, sweaters, and booties

While clear plastic bins are affordable and popular, there are also more aesthetically pleasing options like these Collapsible Storage Bins with Lids that come in multiple colors and feature a transparent window so you can see what’s inside. Place these in a closet, on a shelf, or neatly stacked against a wall so you’ll be able to quickly find what you need.

Hang Outdoor Gear on the Wall

Keep all of the gear for taking your dog (or cat) outside in one organized place that will save floor space: hanging on the wall by the door. You won’t have to waste any time if you’re in a hurry, and when you get back, you’ll be able to efficiently put everything in its place.

A product like the Evermagin 29" Coat Rack Wall Mount with Shelf is a good option to consider because it combines shelves and hooks. It can hold everything from your coat and keys to your pet’s harness, collar, leash, waste bags, treats, etc. And because it’s modern, you can also use it to spruce up your entryway.

Use a Cabinet or Closet Specifically for Pet Supplies

Setting aside a closet or cabinet specifically for your pet supplies is a fast and easy way to organize everything. Pet supplies can be kept separate from the items your family uses daily, but you might still find it hard to keep everything neat and easy to grab in a pinch, so it’s a good idea to check out the various organizers that can work in these spaces as well.

Take the REFLYING Cat Food Can Organizer as an example. Put this in your kitchen cabinet or pantry to keep all of your pet’s canned food organized. It can hold large and small cans for cats and dogs, keeping them in one place and making it simple to find the flavor you want to feed them next.

Keep Litter Box Areas Neat and Organized

Your kitty’s litter box area can quickly become messy, stinky, and disorganized. There are a lot of litter box options to choose from (e.g., automatic litter boxes, open or covered litter boxes, litter box furniture) to suit your cat’s preferences, but regardless of the type you use, keeping it clean and odor-free is key.

Litter waste receptacles are helpful in fighting odors and keeping your litter box supplies in one place. Check out products like the Modkat Litter Keeper, which stores up to two weeks of litter clumps. It includes an odor control filter and a trap door that creates an airtight seal, and it comes with bags and a litter scoop you can hang on it to keep things tidy.
