Tarang’s picks:

 
  • This foldable cat pool is a fun summer setup — I toss in a few floating toys and let the chaos begin.
  • The ChomChom Roller is essential. It picks up fur better than anything else we’ve tried.
  • We leave this Hide & Seek Cat Puzzle out during the day. It keeps things interesting while I’m working.
 

Tarang is a producer at The Dodo and dad to rescue cats Momo, Mila and Howl.

MY PET’S ON THE DODO 🐶

Carson

Rescue pit-mix, 13 years old. 

“Carson was 11 years old when we adopted him. He had spent his life outside with no shelter, was underweight and had lost his hearing. Despite everything he had been through, he never stopped loving people. Now, at 13 years old, he has a warm bed, a full belly and more love than he knows what to do with. He has become the unofficial mascot of our neighborhood. He reminds us every day that kindness, trust and love can survive even the hardest beginnings.” — his people
