Holiday shopping is always a rush, but don’t forget your pet! If you need a little giving inspiration, feel free to steal a few ideas from our holiday gifts for pets list.
Making a list. Checking it twice. Gonna find out who’s naughty or nice. Santa Paws is coming to town! Chances are, your pets have been pretty good this year (except for the time you left your leftover turkey sandwich too close to the edge of the table and it magically “disappeared”), and so it’s time to reward their stellar behavior. Need a few idea as to what to put under the tree? Here’s my Top Gift Ideas for Pets – there’s something for every pooch (or kitty) on your list!
If they could speak, any dog would say that edible gifts make the best gifts – nothing beats a delicious treat when you want to make a pooch happy. And what could be more delicious than cheese or bacon? Made with all-natural, farm-fresh ingredients, these yummy treats combine both real cheese and real bacon (and just that – no sneaky artificial ingredients) to create a mouth-watering delicacy for your dog to munch on. The treats are made from locally sourced ingredients on a daily basis by 7th generation farmers with milk sourced fresh daily from their beloved herd of dairy cows on a 120-acre farm in Greenville, Illinois. In addition to being tasty, these cheesy treats are also healthy – they are a great source of protein and beneficial nutrients like calcium, vitamin A, essential fatty acids and B-complex vitamins, and have ZERO grains, gluten or anything artificial.
If your pooch loves to play fetch or is an active, energetic dog that enjoys spending time outside, this gift will be a real hit with them. Frisbee isn’t just a regular toy – it’s a toy you will play with together, so in a way, you’ll also be giving them a gift of quality time with their favorite person ever, and it doesn’t get any better than that! This frisbee has a high-flying, aerodynamic design so you can rest assured it will easily reach long distances, and it is also soft, floatable, and crafted with curved edges to provide a good grip and be gentle on the gums. It can be used on water or on land without a hitch, so it can be a perfect toy for a day at the beach or for long play sessions in your backyard. Of course, the frisbee is made from pet-friendly materials that are BPA-free, latex-free, FDA compliant, and dishwasher safe for your convenience
What if you could understand what your pet is trying to communicate? Well, with this as your holiday gift for your four-legged bestie, you actually could. And not, there’s no magic involved – just clever training and a nifty little gadget. The set includes 4 recordable speech buttons, so you can use your voice to record simple commands or words like “outside,” “play,” or “bed,” and then teach your dog to use these word buttons to communicate. Don’t worry, you’ll also be getting a guide by Christina Hunger, the world-renowned speech-language pathologist who trained the “world’s first speaking dog”, Stella. This step-by-step guide will teach you everything you need to know before embarking on the adventure of teaching your dog how to speak to you!
Does your pet love to lounge all day long? With this bed, they can do so both in comfort and style! The unique design of this hammock bed makes it suitable for use in all seasons – it is comfy in the winter and breathable in the summer, and can be used indoors or outdoors. The legs of the bed are lightweight but sturdy metal and the bed itself is a soft mesh material that will let the air circulate and be easy to clean when needed. The size makes the bed suitable for cats or puppies and toy breed dogs and comes in gray or pink color so you can pick to match your preferences. This gift will be a favorite of your lazy kitty, for sure!
You simply can’t go wrong with yummy gifts. Ever. Who could ever be indifferent to a delicious treat, human, dog, or cat? Well, if you want a tried-and-true way to get your dog’s tail wagging with your choice of a holiday gift, you’ll go for this one. Made from premium ingredients and without any artificial flavors, these sandwich cookies for dogs look and taste good enough to be served to humans as a dessert, but are completely pet-safe. These crunchy treats are packed in a cute box and contain 3 different flavors: carob and peanut butter, golden and vanilla, and golden and peanut butter. They are baked in the USA in small batches and are absolutely drool-worthy – guaranteed by many pooches who have tried them!
You want to share some holiday cheer with your kitty – what better way to make your pet a part of the festivities than giving them a nice gift they’ll certainly enjoy? And when it comes to things that most cats enjoy, catnip is at the top of most feline lists. This is why this plush soft toy is so popular with cats – it is filled with potent catnip that gives them that fuzzy feeling they love so much! To boot, it also crinkles, which will drive your cat nuts (in a good way) and motivate them to kick, bite, and carry around this toy and play with it for hours on end. Luckily, it is really well made so it can take everything your feral feline throws at it! And, you’ll get to enjoy the pun design of this pickle-shaped toy with the embroidered “I’m kind of a big dill” on it, too.
Those owners that have intelligent dogs know how tricky it can be – sure, they’ll quickly pick up on what you teach them, but they get easily bored and always need something to keep them occupied. Otherwise, that boredom turns to mischief and destructive behaviors and that’s the last thing anyone wants! To keep your pooch engaged and entertained during the holiday season, you can opt for a holiday gift that will stimulate their clever brains and give them something to try and solve – these dog puzzles are available in varying levels of difficulty so you can easily adjust to your little brainiac’s capabilities. All of these interactive toys are to be filled with treats or kibble to entice your dog to put in the work to solve the puzzle and get to the yummy treat inside – while giving you hours of peace and quiet at the same time.
If you’re putting together a Christmas stocking for your dog, filled with small but great gifts, this chew toy could be just what you need to complete it. Uniquely designed with an inner Dura-Tuff lining, no stuffing, and reinforced double-stitched seams, these chew toys are designed for enthusiastic chewers that would go through a regular plush toy in a matter of minutes or hours – this “invincible” toy gives them a bigger challenge. While not literally indestructible, these cute geckos are pretty tough to tear or bite through, so you can rest assured your new gift will last your pet quite a while. Plus, the backing is made with a mesh-like material meant to help clean the plaque off your kitty’s teeth while they’re violently gnawing on the unassuming pickle, so that’s a bonus, too.
A perfect gift for any couch potato out there – a soft, snuggly blanket to keep them comfy and cozy when the temperatures drop during the holiday season and well after it. Made from luxurious polyester Micro Plush, this blanket feels velvety to the touch and is a delight for long naps, whether your pet is lying on it or sleeping under it. In addition to being comfy and pleasant to touch, this is also one very durable and practical blanket – it has dense fibers that won’t pill or shed, it’s machine washable, has a dual-sided design so you can flip it over when you need it to, and quilted panels that help prevent sliding. Not to mention that the chic grey color matches any interior with ease. And to ensure that your gift will be just perfect for your pet, this blanket comes in 4 different sizes to suit dogs of all breeds.
Does your pooch love to strut their stuff in the doggie park? Don’t miss out on the chance to accessorize your dapper little doggo with a festivities-inspired collar that will make them the star of any holiday party. This stylish dog collar comes with a detachable bow that completes the look and is made from two thick layers of cotton, so it is both comfy to wear and durable. As for the design, you can choose between the unmistakable deep green or red plaid pattern for a classic Christmas look or opt for the fun, reindeer print fabric for your dog’s take on the ugly sweater tradition – just in the form of a collar instead of an actual outfit. Of course, the collar comes in a range of sizes from extra small to extra large, so dogs of all shapes and sizes can look dandy this holiday season!
