Dog lovers know firsthand how toys, dishes, and assorted doggie accessories can go from neatly organized to exploding all over your home like dog hair in the spring. We’ve rounded up some products and projects to help contain the clutter, whether it’s your endless leash collection or your dog’s favorite half-chewed toys.
Pro tip: once you’ve chosen your perfect storage solution, take a minute to reduce your dog paraphernalia. Say goodbye to leashes and collars you no longer use, extra dishes, broken toys, and that bag of treats your dog hates. Items in good condition can be donated to your local rescue.
