So having got the presents for family and friends, have you remembered to get something for your pets? OK not everyone will buy a gift for a pet, be it dog, cat or whatever your choice of animal companions are. But many of us do, they are a part of the family and it’s nice to have them join in with the festivities where possible. Even if they don’t understand it, they will normally appreciate or even benefit from their gifts.
So let’s look at what you could try for your pets.Dogs
Probably the easiest as there are a mass amount of dog toys, dog treats and other dog gift ideas available. I normally by my dog something along the lines of a rope toy or a nylon bone, mainly as the weather normally isn’t geared to playing ball or fetch. So something I can play with him indoors or something he can chill out with and chew away at is fine. Add in some treats such as biscuits or chews and he’s a happy camper at Christmas.
Finding something good for your dog won’t be difficult, but there are other things besides toys you could try. How about a new dog bed for your pet pooch? Maybe a new dog lead or dog collar? Perhaps even some nice shiny new dog bowls? When it comes to dogs the choice is just huge.
Cats
Cats are just about as easy to buy for as dogs, though personally cats always seem a bit less enthusiastic about whatever you give them, then again cats just seem to have that chilled attitude most of the time, the term ‘cool cat’ didn’t pop up for no reason.
Regardless of enthusiasm, cats love toys and gifts as much as a dogs do, and there is a wealth of gifts out there for them. Toy mice, bells, and other small cat toys are great to get your cat playing, and spray a little catnip on them and they will soon be going nuts.
Along with toys there are beds, bowls and collars, as well as scratching posts and activity sets. These activity sets give the cats a place to play, scratch and climb, with some even adding a small ‘hidey hole’ for them to creep into.
Birds
Well birds don’t exactly bark with delight at a gift, but they enjoy them nonetheless. Adding a new swing or new toy to a cage will go down a treat, and dangling decor such as mirrors or bells are great for interactivity. Ladders and rings will give them places to explore and perch on and it adds a new discovery game to their routine. A few little treats for them to nibble on won’t go amiss either. If you really want to go to town, why not go for a whole new bird cage? Chances are they’ll love it.
Small Pets
what to buy your pet rabbit, or guinea pig, hamster, mouse or other cute little critter. Well they love toys just like any other animal. Something to keep them occupied and entertained will always go down well.
Something to chew is a good start, keeping their teeth in good condition and providing them something to do. There is a whole plethora of chew and play toys available for small pets, from ferrets and chinchillas to hamsters and mice.
The there is the cage they live in; you can always buy one of the host of accessories and activity sets that can be great for any small pet cage. Wheels, tubes, houses, see-saws, the list goes on and on. Or you could by them a modular cage that can be built and added to over time providing them with a whole interactive home.
Fish
Fish don’t really need presents, or care too much about them, but adding some nice new decor to their tank will provide benefits, be it places to hide, things to explore or even something else to try and eat. If you do want to splash out though, how about a new fish tank?
These are just a few of the pets we have and there are gifts and treats for other animals such as horses, reptiles, spiders and insects as well. So whatever you have as you choice of pet, there is something out there for them this Christmas, and it shouldn’t be too hard to find.
