Pet products that are trending? Don’t they trend all the time?
Well, there will always be something new in the pet market. While their functions are not all that different, it is the design and the creativity that make these products go viral.
Like all trending products, you must be among the first to sell them if you want to make the most profit. Over time, the interest in these trending pet products will fizzle, and you do not want to be late in the game.
Ready to make money? Let us start!
Fleas are disgusting, but they are part of pet life. While you can get rid of them, one cannot completely guarantee that they won’t be back, despite all the shampoos and chemicals you use for pets.
The big problem here is that fleas are carriers of parasites and diseases. It would have been fine if these diseases did not transmit to humans, but they do. This fact is a good selling point for the flea comb.
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
The flea comb is a product that can help reduce flea infestation. Notice, however, that the product looks somewhat seasonal over the last five years. It tends to go up in demand between August and October, and this interest dies down.
This product is in high demand during the summer until the fall, which makes sense. Although fleas reproduce all the time, they are more active in warmer months, making pets more vulnerable to them.
To sell more of this product, capitalize on the most active months of fleas, and then tell the target buyers to get it now before it is too late.
Anyone who has had cats and dogs understands how hair sheds from these lovely cuties. The hair can stick all over the place, and the worst thing that can happen is for the residents to inhale them.
Although there are many hair removal products in the market, the glove type reigns supreme because of its coverage area. By design, the product above also performs better than most hair removal tools out there.
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
What makes this pet hair remover unique from the others is that it uses static electricity technology. Hair seems to be drawn to it, making it easier for the user to gather hair fibers from any kind of surface.
People need to keep their hands free to be able to do more work. The trouble with walking a pet is that it requires one or both hands on the leash.
This product ends this problem. The leash is tied to the pet owner’s waist, making the hands free for other chores, like using the phone or something else.
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
For a long time, leashes were only held by hand. This product changes everything—perhaps we can agree that this is revolutionary.
Well, it is not so life-changing, but it is practical and useful.
One thing that can help you sell this product is its safety features. It has a reflector, making the wearer visible at night, thus, preventing a possible accident. The product also comes with several pouches, which are great for keeping treats and snacks for the pet while outside of the house.
No one would have thought that a dog poop scooper is a necessity. Most dog owners walk their dogs and let them do their number 2 on the sidewalk, which leads to disputes with neighbors. This product changes everything, as the dog can now have its own “portable toilet” at home or outside.
Reasons to sell this product:

Here is the Google Trends chart:
A product like this is not great for a video demonstration, but you can find creative ways to show the buyer how it is used. If you go to AliExpress and Alibaba, you will find videos of the product that can inspire you in your marketing efforts.
You can also create your video content, provided that you have a dog. Just make sure that you blur the graphic parts of the video. Otherwise, your ad may not run as it is deemed offensive to people’s sensitivities.
Who said that chain leashes are only for big dogs? This leash is unconventional because despite looking like a chain, it isn’t one. It is not heavy at all, making it ideal for small dogs.
The fun is in the appearance—imagine a chihuahua wearing this leash and you can see how it can make people chuckle.
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
Dogs are fun, and there are many creative ways you can market this product. Some buyers even used this leash on a puppy, making them look so adorable yet menacing.
It would help if you sprinkled some creativity in your marketing videos. One idea you may consider is a “suspense-type” video where you show the chain first. It is huge and foreboding, coupled with a sound that evokes fear.
The camera pans and eventually leads the frame to a cute dog. Surely, a video like this will stir people’s emotions. They would think that the leashed creature is some sort of a monster, but it is nothing more than an adorable puppy!
Most cat toys are boring. Usually, they are nothing more than a static plushie that the cat can toss around like a rag doll. Not this one, though.
The interactive cat toy moves and plays a bird sound. What makes it unique is that it has a sensor, which triggers the wings to flap and the audio to play a chirp if the cat touches it.
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
There are two selling points you can use for this product. The first is that the fur, or bird cover, is washable. The product itself is not waterproof, so you must tell the buyer not to wash the whole thing.
The product comes with a rechargeable battery, and the motor has a USB port for charging, but it does not come with additional rechargeable batteries.
The cat bat mask is all over the internet. You can see videos of it on TikTok and YouTube shorts, and all of them are hilarious! If a person has a cat, this is one of those things that one can never say no to!
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
The chart has high peaks in the Halloween season, as this product is typically marketed as a costume. However, there is still a demand before and after the Halloween.
If you think about it, it is much harder to sell this product at the end of the year because of rising competition. It is, therefore, a good idea to spend money on ads before or after Halloween.
Why? It is because your competitors have used up all their advertising budget. You are the only one, or one of the few, dropshippers who have this product after the craze.
Since you do not have a lot of competition after Halloween, you can also expect to have a bigger sales volume.
Dogs need comfort, too, and customers would love nothing more than to provide this amenity to their canine family. Most dog owners do not like it when their dogs try to sleep on their beds (the human bed) so you can use that scenario as an emotional trigger.
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
The product is a bit expensive. Although the profit margin is high, you may also spend a lot on marketing to convince a buyer to purchase it. $40 for a dog bed is not a small sum.
The alternative is to find similar products on Tradelle. If you cannot find any, you can reach out to Tradelle’s sourcing team. They can find this product for you with a particular focus on your price range.
Dogs do not sweat, and it is why they pant all the time, and it is also why they love to swim. But what if there is a product that cools them at any given time?
The dog cooling vest is a solution to what most dog owners worry about—heat stroke. All the owner has to do is either soak the vest in water or freeze it. The vest keeps the moisture in, making the dog comfy at all times.
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
It is rare for a pet product to have this kind of margin. Because of this, expect a huge competition. The big challenge here is that dropshippers will do cut-throat marketing. The price is a race to the bottom, and you may end up not making money at all.
It all boils down to marketing and being the first. Add this product to your store now and ride the trend while it is hot.
Those who ever owned a cat understand what problems these cuties bring into the house. They scratch everything! From furniture to floor—nothing is safe.
Scratch-proofing is a necessity for cat owners, and this is what a dropshipper like you must campaign for. Sometimes, one scratch post is not enough, and a scratch mat like this therefore becomes a cat pet essential.
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
Cats scratch their nails to make a mark. The scratching leaves a scent. They also do it to sharpen their claws. Consider all these facts and include them in your ads so you can establish the need for a scratch mat.
For the final touches, show the cat scratching the product, with particular attention to the cat enjoying the activity. Do this in your cat videos, and you’ll increase your conversion for this product.
A bathrobe for a dog? Is there even a need for it? Yes, there is! Dogs shake themselves after a bath to release excess water. The problem? They splash water all over the place.
This dog bathrobe is the perfect solution to it. The dog can shake as vigorously as it wants to, with little to no splash that would need clean-up later on.
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
According to Google Trends, there is a high interest in dog towels in many countries, not just in North America and Europe. This product is sold and marketed to:
Like the previous products, a demonstration of the dog bathrobe is an essential aspect of marketing. The dog must shake and wiggle so you can show the mess it does without the robe and with the robe.
Finally, use the keyword “towel” for this product. Many people do not use the term “dog bathrobe,” so it makes sense to use “dog towel” instead.
Most dog and cat owners merely look for a water bowl, but they do not know that there are products like this that prevent water from spilling.
This is the kind of product where you have to educate the user. Do this, and the viewer or site visitor will feel indebted to you for introducing such a useful dog bowl.
Reasons to sell this product:
Product Summary:
Here is the Google Trends chart:
Dog bowls are pretty common, and this one is expensive. Rarely will you find a dog owner willing to shell out more than $10 for a bowl.
What you can do to increase your conversion is to sell the product by twos but at a discounted price. Many pet lovers have more than one dog, and they surely want one dog water bowl each.
It is easier for consumers to part ways with money if they get more value from the purchase, so do a BOGO or a discounted bundle!
