10 Must-Have Pet Accessories Every NZ Pet Owner Should Know About

🐾 10 Essential Pet Accessories Every NZ Pet Owner Needs

Pets are more than companions—they’re family. Whether you're a proud dog parent or a devoted cat lover, choosing the right accessories helps ensure your pet’s happiness, comfort, and safety. At PawNest.co.nz, we’ve curated a list of essential pet accessories loved by New Zealand pet owners. These items are practical, fun, and designed to improve the everyday life of your furry friend.

  1. Interactive Toys

    Dogs and cats thrive on play. Interactive toys like rubber chew toys, plush squeaky toys, and puzzle feeders keep them mentally stimulated and physically active—great for reducing anxiety and boredom.

  2. Comfortable Pet Beds

    A cosy spot is a must! Whether it's a calming donut bed for dogs or a self-warming cat mat, a soft bed provides better sleep and supports joint health, especially for senior pets.

  3. Slow Feed Bowls

    For pets that gobble food too fast, slow feeder bowls encourage healthier eating habits and prevent digestive issues.

  4. Grooming Essentials

    Keep your pet looking (and smelling) fresh with accessories like de-shedding brushes, nail clippers, and silicone grooming gloves. Grooming also strengthens the bond between you and your pet.

  5. Travel Accessories

    Whether you're heading to the park or across the country, accessories like car seat covers, collapsible water bowls, and portable litter boxes make travel stress-free.

  6. Pet Collars & Harnesses

    Choose the right adjustable collar or harness for walks, training, and ID tagging. Reflective or LED collars are perfect for early morning or night-time walks in NZ.

  7. Training Tools

    From clickers to treat pouches and training pads, these accessories make teaching your pet easier and more effective—especially for new pet parents.

  8. Cat Trees & Scratch Posts

    If you’re a cat owner, a multi-level cat tree or scratch board is a must. These satisfy your cat’s natural instincts and save your furniture from claw marks.

  9. Pet Clothing

    NZ weather can be unpredictable. Dog jackets, booties, and raincoats are not only cute—they keep pets warm, dry, and comfortable in colder months.

  10. Eco-Friendly Options

    At PawNest, we care about the planet too. Look for biodegradable poop bags, recycled toys, and sustainable grooming tools that help reduce your carbon pawprint.
