The two groups we love buying holiday gifts for most of all? Pet owners and actual pets.
Whether you’re looking for the perfect present for the animal-loving human in your life or want to make sure your furry friend feels special when everyone else is opening gifts, we’ve got you covered.
1. ChuckIt! Sport Launcher Dog Ball Thrower Throw your dog’s ball even farther (and avoid touching a wet, dirty ball) with this awesome launcher that will ensure every trip to the park is a nap-inducing marathon.
3. Outward Hound Interactive Treat Puzzle Dog Toy How about a dog toy that’s not only fun but stimulates your pup’s brain? This cool gift will keep your favorite furry friend occupied and give him well-earned treats for figuring out the puzzle – a real win-win-win for food-motivated dogs.
4. Snuffle Mat If you know a dog who loves putting its sniffing skills to use, this is the perfect gift. It taps into dogs’ natural instinct to forage for food. You can hide treats, their regular food or small toys inside. And best of all, it’s super portable and machine washable.
5. Jiminy’s Cricket Treats We get special treats during the holidays. Shouldn’t your dog get them too? We love these unique ones because they’re made with crickets, which are high in protein, nutrient-dense and more environmentally sustainable to make.
6. The Original Calming Donut Cat and Dog Bed Equally suitable for carts and dogs alike, this ultra fluffy (and affordable) bed comes in a wide variety of colors and sizes, so you can find the perfect one to suit your pet and decor.
7. Subscription boxes We love a pet gift that keeps on giving, so you can’t go wrong with a pet-themed subscription box that shows up with fresh fun every month. You have lots of options but some of the front-runners are Bark Box and Meow Box.
8. Pet odor exterminator candle It’s ok to say we don’t love every single thing about our pets… like the odor sometimes associated with them. This candle will make the wet dog or litter box small a distant memory and fill your home with a fresh citrus scent instead.
9. Yeowww! Catnip Toy there’s just something perfect about the size and shape of this banana catnip toy that makes every feline we know go absolutely nuts for it. And at $6 a pop, it’s the perfect kitty stocking stuffer.
10. Small Interactive Cat Toys Mice If one catnip toy simply isn’t enough (and why would it be?), your cat friend will love this pack of 36 little mice that come equipped with catnip and a rattle sound to keep them entertained for hours. And if one disappears under the couch, just grab another.
11. Churu Cat Treats If you want to splash out on some premium treats you’ll cats will go crazy for, look no further. These small, squeezable pouches are irresistible to kitties and are particularly helpful if you’re trying to make inroads with a new, shy cat in your life.
12. The Ripple Rug You’ll be surprised how long this two-layer mat will keep your cats entertained. The bottom is just a simple rug and the top layer has holes in it and velcro, which can be arranged in various ways to provide kitties with endless opportunities for burrowing, hiding and playing. Pro tip: Hide toys or treats inside.
