Making sure that our four legged friends get as much out of the festive season as we do is natural for many of us. For animal lovers everywhere – a pet is a huge part of the family and they are often a big part of the festivities of the day.
That’s why today we want to share with you some of the cute and fun gifts you can buy for your pet this Christmas to make them feel some festive cheer of their own.
A festive feast
One simple way to help your pet celebrate Christmas along with the rest of the family is a Christmas dinner of their own. Of course, a dog or cat cannot eat the same meal as us – however dogs can eat meat with gravy and vegetables, and cats would be more than happy with a little bit of turkey. You can even buy festive themed cat food and dog food to feed to your pet on the day while you eat your Christmas dinner.
Homemade treats
Pets eat differently to us, and there are some brilliant ideas for treats to make them this Christmas. You can get your hands on some healthy supplements such as cod liver oil, Pet-Ness CBD oil, or vitamins and add these to simple biscuit recipes for your dog or cat to keep them healthy as well as treating them. There are some amazing biscuit and cake recipes for your furry children to try this year, and these will last for a fair few days so you can make them in advance for a special treat.
A pet subscription box
If you aren’t sure what to choose within the myriad of options around for pet treats – there are some great pet subscription boxes out there. Choosing to offer one of these to your pet this Christmas will give them a range of food, treats, and festive toys to play with on Christmas Day. It will be like opening a festive gift hamper!
Wrapping paper
Let’s face it: pets can be easily amused. If you don’t want to spend a ton of money on gifts for your pet this Christmas, a ball of wrapping paper will probably be enough to keep them occupied while you open your gifts!
A comfy bed
Christmas is all about being cosy, and what better way to be cosy this year than to buy a comfy new bed for your pet? Make sure you purchase the bed a little ahead of time so that you can wash it before they use it. A comfy bed or even a new blanket will be well received and your pet will be grateful when they can have a lovely festive snooze.
Some new toys
Animals of all types love to play, and if you head to a pet shop at this time of the year you will likely see some brilliant gifts out there on show. Buy a couple of festive Santa or reindeer toys or maybe even a new puzzle for your pet that will give them treats. Have fun choosing presents for your pets and see what you can find!
