15 Costco Finds Dog Owners Keep Putting in Their Cart

Here are 15 warehouse-club finds that dog owners buy again and again, plus a quick safety tip for each.

1. The giant round dog bed

Warehouse-club dog beds are big, thick and cost far less than pet-store versions. Many owners buy two, one for each room.

Tip: pick a removable cover so you can wash it.

2. Bulk carrots

A big bag of carrots makes a crunchy, low-calorie treat most dogs love.

Tip: cut them into small pieces for little dogs to avoid choking.

3. Frozen green beans

Plain frozen green beans are a favourite low-calorie snack for dogs on a diet.

Tip: plain only, no salt, butter or seasoning.

4. Plain rotisserie chicken (meat only)

A shredded spoon of plain chicken makes a great topper or high-value training treat.

Tip: remove all skin and bones, which are dangerous for dogs.

5. Big packs of paper towels and enzyme cleaner

Every puppy owner learns fast that cleanup supplies go quickly.

Tip: enzyme cleaners break down odours so dogs are less likely to go in the same spot again.

6. Sealed storage bins for kibble

Large airtight bins keep a whole bag of food fresh and away from curious noses.

Tip: keep the original bag inside the bin so you have the batch number if there is ever a recall.

7. Blueberries by the box

Blueberries are a small, sweet treat that many dogs enjoy.

Tip: a few at a time. Grapes and raisins are toxic, so never mix them up.

8. Fleece throw blankets

Soft throws in multipacks end up on the couch, in the car and in the crate.

Tip: a dedicated dog blanket on the couch saves the upholstery from fur.

9. Lint roller multipacks

Anyone with a shedding dog knows one roller is never enough.

Tip: keep one in the car and one by the door.

10. Plain canned pumpkin

Plain pumpkin is a classic add-on many owners keep in the cupboard.

Tip: plain pumpkin only, not pie filling, and ask your vet about the right amount.

11. Rubber-backed bath mats

Cheap non-slip mats help older dogs keep their footing on slippery floors.

Tip: a few in a row make a safe path across hardwood.

12. Car seat covers

A waterproof seat cover saves the back seat after muddy park trips.

Tip: hammock styles also stop dogs from sliding into the footwell.

13. Peanut butter in big jars

Many owners stuff chew toys with a little peanut butter.

Tip: check the label. Peanut butter with xylitol is toxic to dogs.

14. Big packs of tennis balls

Fetch dogs go through balls fast, so bulk packs make sense.

Tip: retire balls that get chewed apart and do not let dogs chew the fuzz off.

15. Washable rugs

Machine-washable rugs are a lifesaver in muddy seasons.

Tip: put one right inside the door where the paws come in.

Stock changes by store and season, so not every item will be on the shelf every time.

For anything your dog eats, a quick check with your vet is always a good idea.
