QUERY: Hello!
My name is Lara, and I'm a reporter at MarketWatch. I'm working on an upcoming story related to the pet products that are the most worth your money in 2026, specifically when it comes to products to clean up after your pet.
In particular, I'm hoping to hear from animal experts like veterinarians, pet product founders, pet parents or other experts in this field.
If you are interested in being featured in this article, please email me responses to the questions below at my email address [email protected] .
Interview Questions:
Please state your full name, title, and company
What do you personally recommend as the best products to keep your house clean from your pets? I'm particularly referring to animals with fur, like dogs and cats. It could be pet hair vacuums, safe surface cleaners, or cleaners for stains or odors.
Is there a science to keeping your house smelling fresh when you have animals? How do you make cat or dog scents undetectable?
Are there any other dog or cat items that you think are worth the money in 2026? (Could be beyond cleaning products.)
