Pawsome Parenting 101: Christmas Gifting Ideas For Your Furbaby
If you have a pet or more, chances are that you consider them your best friends or even your children. Pets make our lives so much better and are gifts that always keep on giving. Their unconditional love and mere presence have been one of the foundations of helping us all get through a pandemic, survive intense life events and deal with loneliness. Today, we’re going to share six gifting ideas to make the holiday season special for your beloved pets, so that they’re included in all the festivities.
- Squeaky Toys: Want to watch your old pet turn into an absolute kid? Get them a fun squeaky toy! These are an all-time favorite of dogs, cats and even raccoons! If you want to get a spin on chew toys, you can get plushies with bells inside for pets that love to play!
- Chew Sticks: If you have pet siblings, watching them spar for fun is a great pass time. However, this also means that their training and discipline needs rewards. Getting them a new packet of chew sticks will help them keep their teeth clean and tummy satisfied. While many prefer bully sticks, or bone-shaped chew toys for your canines, there are many variations of the same for cats and other pets that have a hunting drive.
- Dry Treats: Dry treats like dehydrated jerky or veggies are probably one of the best crunchy treats for both carnivores and herbivore pets. If you look up your options online, we’re sure there are dry treats available for every pet under the sky that will make a great gifting option.
- A New Blankie: Every pet we have takes comfort in warmth, and we are sure they’re particularly attached to blankets and quilts. More than the warmth it offers, our fur kids love them for the feeling of security they offer, even when in tatters. This Christmas, you can get them a new blankie, not to replace the old one, but because they will need a new one after they’re done gnawing at this one. Plus, everyone deserves an upgrade!
- Whip-up a Special Meal: Every pet has a favorite meal that they go bonkers over. If you have a dog, cat or otter, it doesn’t matter. A parent knows exactly what wins their furbaby over! Whip up their favorite meal and add some flourish with amazing pet recipes that don’t cost much but taste like heaven to our beloved companions. You can make a pet-friendly version of Christmas cake, pie or puddings.
- Get New Accessories: Pets look very cute as they are, but we always love to dress them up. Adding a little jazz to their outfits with new sweaters, winter booties, collars and other bling is a way to express your love towards them. For starters, you can get them a new leash and harness if they love their walkies.
Wrapping Up:
While most of these gifting ideas revolve around canine and feline pets, you can take the idea and use more appropriate treats and toys for your beloved pet no matter what species they belong to. After all, love as unconditional as theirs deserves the best!
