Cat & Dog Products

Dog and cat doors
Cat and dog doors are the ultimate in convenience for pet owners so they don't have to worry about rushing home to let the dog out. And dogs appreciate having the freedom to come and go as they please. Today you can find dog and cat doors for installation just about anywhere such as pet doors for sliding glass doors, screen doors, windows and walls.

In addition to installation options you can also choose between a manual flap that your cat or dog needs to push open or collar activated dog doors that will open only for your pets. These electronic pet doors are popular with people who live in rural areas and need a raccoon-proof dog door to keep those and other critters out of their home.

Dog Stairs and Dog Ramps
The obvious benefit here is for pets. Some cats and dogs, especially senior dogs and cats, can have a hard time jumping up and down from favorite spots in the house or from a car or truck. Doggie steps and ramps can really improve quality of life by reducing pain and risk of injury. What might not be as obvious is the benefit to pet owners, especially seniors or people who are injured or who may have had recent surgery. Lifting a heavy dog to help him or her get up and down from places can be a hardship for many pet owners.

There are folding dog ramps and telescoping dog ramps for easy stowing in your car, SUV or truck. Pet stairs are not as portable but we do have some that are collapsible and can easily be slid under a bed to store out of the way when not in use.

Automatic pet feeders and Dog Waterers
Similar to the dual benefits of pet doors, automatic pet feeders and waterers give cat and dog owners peace of mind knowing their pets have adequate food and water…whether they are home or not. Of course pets are happy for the same reason. We carry top brands that offer various features such as pet feeders with timers, and outdoor dog water bowls and water fountains that you can hook up to a garden hose.

Cat and Dog Houses
If your pet spends a lot of time outdoors then an outdoor cat house or dog house is a good way to provide shelter from the elements as well as relief from extreme hot or cold temperatures. If you live in a region where extremes are common you should consider any one of our insulated dog houses or cat houses.

Insulation makes a huge difference in cat and dog homes, just like it does in our own homes. It will definitely keep the interior of a pet house cooler during hot summer months and warmer during the cold winter months. Some models offer optional dog house doors for additional protection against wind.

We also carry dog house accessories including floor mats and pads, the Dog Palace Breeze Solar Fan and the very popular Climate Right 2500 which is a dog house air conditioner and heater.

Pet carriers and Other Products for Traveling with Pets
We carry all kinds of pet carriers such as airline approved pet carriers by Sherpa and other quality brands. Large travel kennels are also available for dogs traveling in the cargo area of airplanes or in the back of an SUV or pickup truck.

And for all those dogs who like to ride in the car we offer the Ruff Rider dog seat belt harness. Or, if you have a problem with your dog getting into the front seat while you are driving, check out our dog gates for cars. These vehicle pet barriers will keep your dog contained in the back seat. They come in sizes to fit most vehicles and most are adjustable and easy to install.

For local travel and/or recreation see our dog joggers, dog bicycle trailers, pet strollers and dog bicycle baskets.

Pet Beds
Options abound in the world of pet beds. We carry heated pet beds and orthopedic foam pet beds that senior dogs really appreciate. There are even dog cooling mats and pet beds to help keep a dogs temperature down and prevent heat stroke. Elevated pet beds by Kuranda are very popular because they keep dogs off the drafty floor or the damp ground if used outside. Professional kennels prefer them because they are practically indestructible.

Pet Gates
If you've never shopped for pet gates you may be surprised to learn how many different styles, sizes and features are available to solve a variety of pet containment challenges in the house. Extra tall pet gates and extra wide pet gates are asked for more often than any other. For that reason we have a huge selection in both of those categories. You'll also find pet gates that can be configured into a dog pen. And dog gates with cat doors to allow kitties to go through the gate while still acting as a barrier for dogs.

We have retractable pet gates, freestanding pet gates and pet gates that you mount either with hardware or pressure mount without the need for hardware. Pet gates are made out of a variety of materials including metal, fabric, plastic and wood. Some of the wooden pet gates we carry are truly furniture grade and really quite lovely. Actually many of our metal pet gates are also designed to be aesthetically pleasing as well as functional.

Dog Crates
America's Pet Store carries Midwest and many other crates for dogs including Petmate portable travel kennels and dog crates for training and containment purposes. We also offer accessories such as kennel pads and dog crate beds to make your dog's crate a comfortable place to rest.

Dog crates are made from a variety of materials including metal wire pet crates, plastic dog crates and wooden dog crates made out of mahogany, oak, ash and other beautiful woods to match the decor of your home. Quite a few of the wood models double as end tables which is a great way to save some floor space. And your dog will be happy to be close to other "pack" members while hanging out in the living room or den.

Cat Furniture
Whether it is cat litter box covers, litter box cabinets, or cat trees and condos you’ll love our big selection of furniture for cats. The nice thing about litter box covers is they not only hide the litter box, but they hide the litter box odor, too!
