It may seem indulgent to purchase and wrap presents for pets, but it’s actually very thoughtful. While we can’t necessarily speak for your pet in this situation, our best guess is that they appreciate anything you give them. Like us, animals like new stuff. They love to make things theirs. Whether it’s by slobbering all over them, cuddling them, or batting them about, the following pet gift ideas aim to please everyone in your household.
Santa’s Helpers
Most pets have everything they need, right? Between their food/water needs, gear, toys, and more, they don’t really want for anything. But that doesn’t mean they wouldn’t enjoy a gift or two this holiday season. From snacks to threads, we offer the 2017 edition of pet gift ideas for your perfect pet.
- Doggie gear – A new leash and matching collar might just be what the doctor ordered, especially if your pet has had the same set for awhile. Options include antique leather, personalized, adjustable collars, and light-up versions for evening walks. In wet weather, don’t forget the value of the pet umbrella, anti-slip booties, and reflective vest. For anxious cats and dogs, the Thundershirt may be at the top of the list, as well.
- For the felines – Cats are hilariously playful with the Ripple Rug; it’ll remind you of their kitten years! You could also upgrade to the stylish Infinity Scratcher or the purr-fectly whimsical Catit Flower Fountain. Lastly, the Clean Step Litter Dome may be the answer to all your questions about the cleanest way to deal with your cat’s bathroom habits.
- Travelers – If you and your pet scoot about together, these pet gift ideas are for you. We love this car seat protector if you head back home all muddy and wet. Check out this seatbelt tether to keep your buddy safe while in transit. Also, this adorable cat backpack turns heads and keeps Fluffy safely contained and comfortable. Win-win!
- Pet enrichment – There are various ways you can capture your pet’s interest and amusement. Chew toys, interactive feeders, and treat puzzles are all forms of enrichment that your pet needs and enjoys. Bake your own DIY pet treats and load them up in the feeders; watch with glee as your pet goes to town!
