Now with less frequent refills, parents can have more quality time with their furry friends and families. The 10lb LeBistro feeder automatically dispenses anywhere from ¼ to 3-cups of dry food up to three times each day – making it ideal for busy pet parents and anyone monitoring their pet’s weight. $99.99
- Stainless Fresh Flow: Petmate’s® Stainless Fresh Flow™ is an attractive, healthy way to hydrate pets. The latest addition to Petmate’s innovative line of purifying pet fountains provides a continuously flowing, filtered water source with stylish Stainless Steel accents on the front rim and flow ramp.

- Vari-Kennel Ultra: Petmate’s® new Vari-Kennel® Ultra enhances the proven design of the classic Vari-Kennel with revolutionary features. The Ultra boasts an easy-open squeeze latch, metal side vents and an interior moat to keep pets dry. New “Fast-Nut” hardware provides quick assembly and molded-in handles ensure easy lifting. There are even “tie-down” strap holes molded in around the door perimeter. These holes allow the pet parent to install a plastic “zip-tie” through the kennel and around the door for extra security during airline travel. The Vari-Kennel is 100 percent recyclable and more than 25 percent of the material used to produce it comes from recycled materials. $139.99
- Deluxe Ortho Pet Bed with Microban: Petmate’s® new Ortho Pet Bed with Microban® antimicrobial protection is great for pets recovering from surgery or senior dogs that could use a little added comfort. The innovative Microban bedding prevents the growth of odor-causing microbes to keep resting places cleaner and fresher. It comes with a removable, machine-washable cover and the antimicrobial protection won’t wash or wear away even after repeated use. $60.
- Designer Travel Bag: Petmate’s® new Designer Series Travel Bag® is the carry-all tote bag for pet parents and dogs on the go.

- Doggie Litter Pan: Petmate’s® Doggie Litter Pan is especially helpful when housebreaking young dogs. It’s perfect for apartment living with a contemporary styling that fits any décor. The Litter Pan has two handy storage compartments for accessories and features Microban antimicrobial technology. Microban prevents the growth of microbes, such as stain and odor causing bacteria, keeping the pan cleaner between cleanings. Best of all, this litter pan is 100 percent recyclable and more than 25 percent of the material used to produce it comes from recycled materials. $30.
- Portable Pet Home Large: Petmate’s® Portable Pet Home™ allows fashion-minded pet parents to combine function with the hottest style for their favorite pet. This popular, soft-sided carrier combines the best features of a portable pet kennel and permanent pet shelter with a lightweight convenience that’s appreciated by mobile pet parents. The Portable Pet Home travels easily thanks to its compact size. When folded, it takes up 93 percent less space than a similar plastic kennel and is 44 percent lighter. It also folds to less than 2 inches thick, which allows easy storage at home and on the road. Although stylish and lightweight, the Portable Pet Home is made of heavy-duty, 600-denier Polyester with tough PVC backing for strength, durability and water resistance. Pets appreciate the adjustable ventilation on all four sides of the shelter as well as the screen mesh door that lets them see outside. $149.99
- Pet Steps: Petmate’s® Pet Steps™ give pets a leg up by providing safe, easy access to their favorite places. In addition to helping pets reach beds and sofas without jumping, the perfectly proportioned, five-inch high steps make climbing effortless, help reduce joint strain for older pets and protect furniture. Covered with easy-grip, NeedleBond, 100 percent Olefin carpet, the Steps feature a raised paw print at the edge for a sure footing. The sturdy, one-piece design weighs only four pounds so it’s easy to move from room to room. Pet Steps are 100 percent recyclable and more than 25 percent of the material used to produce them comes from recycled materials. $40.
- 2-Door Home Training Kennel: Petmate’s® new 2-Door Home Training Kennel™ provides pets and pet parents unparalleled flexibility and mobility. The innovative Black wire kennel has a double-door opening in the front and side that allows easy access for pets and optimum convenience for pet parents. In the home, the side door allows flexibility so the kennel can be placed in the most convenient locations. In vehicles, the wire kennel can be placed side-ways allowing pets to enter and exit from the side door. $146.99
- Heated Ortho Bed: Petmate’s® new Heated Ortho Bed provides plenty of room for larger animals. Senior pets will love the 30” x 40” Ortho Bed with nonflammable, combustion-modified orthopedic foam for ultimate comfort and safety. The heated bed allows pets to “self regulate” their warmth preference thanks to an inner pocket that keeps the heat element securely in place. It includes a removable, machine-washable cover with thick, natural Berber and micro suede fabric. The 10” x 20” heat element provides safe, constant low-voltage heating. $80
