Yet, every pet parent knows that amidst the tail wags and purrs, there are moments that call for a touch of creativity and innovation to streamline daily routines. To enrich those moments, here we bring an array of hacks and gadgets that will make your pet parenting tasks easier.

4. DIY water dispenser

Things you’ll need:
