Happy International Dog Day, pet parents! As a dog mum, I could shout from the rooftops about my 5-year-old rescue pup and all the joy he's brought into my life… including the endless piles of black fur all over my house.

While today (August 26) is the best day to celebrate all the Maxs, Buddys, Bingos and Fidos out there, it's also a great day to pick up some impressively discounted pooch-friendly products that'll make your life as a dog owner that much easier.

Whether you're worried about leaving them home alone or you're constantly cleaning up after them, I've pulled together a list of five great products worth nabbing – many of which currently carry big discounts. From dog beds to indoor cameras and AirTags, you can rest easy knowing your pup will be happy (and safe) whether you’re at home or away.
