At Christmas, it's their turn too. Here are gift ideas for your dog or cat, based on what they like best.
What do I get for a dog or cat that already has everything?
Something they'll use every day: a new bed, a scratching post, or a toy to play with you. These are the gifts they'll notice most, because they're part of their routine.
- For sleeping warm and cozy: cave beds, round beds and sofas for small dogs. Cats love caves, and so do dogs that feel the cold.
- For cats: a scratching tree gives them somewhere to climb, scratch and keep an eye on the house from above.
- For playing: rope and plush toys, even better if you play together.
What do I put on them for Christmas photos?
A knitted sweater, a cape or a Christmas bandana (for cats, take a look at our cat clothes). Choose the size by measuring the chest circumference and the length of the back, and don't leave it on if you see it bothers them: the photo is better when they're comfortable.
What if I want a practical gift?
A raised bowl, which helps large dogs eat more comfortably, or a carrier with wheels if you're traveling over the holidays.
What if I get the size wrong or they don't like it?
You have 14 days to return it, and returns are free.
A tip for the holidays
Along with the gift, don't forget the basics: no turrón, chocolate, grapes, raisins, or chicken or lamb bones, as they're dangerous for pets. And if guests are coming over or there are fireworks, set up a quiet corner where they can take refuge.
