Veterinarians list pet products not worth the extra cost

Veterinarians have identified several pet products that are not worth the extra cost. Items like fancy collars, premium cat litter, and dog clothes are often unnecessary. They recommend focusing on basic needs instead of expensive options. Automatic litter boxes and wireless dog fences can be confusing and may not provide the benefits pet owners expect. Many over-the-counter skin products and multivitamins are also deemed ineffective, with veterinarians suggesting prescription alternatives. Pet owners are advised to avoid splurging on items like dog-safe "beer" and expensive chew toys, which may not deliver promised health benefits. Simple, cost-effective solutions are often more beneficial for pets.
