Christmas is coming. We’re counting the days, itemizing gifts. But what about your best friend, the one who never fails? Your dog. What special gift can you get to show a year’s worth of love? Here are a few ideas to get you started.
Eats
How about a new bone? A new bone is like you getting to go out to a five star restaurant for a top of the line steak. Dog love them. But make sure you get some safe, something made in the USA, and something meaty so your canine friend will appreciate it. Treats are a winner, especially fancy made ones. All Pet & Equine Supply in West Plains carries a complete collection of holiday cookies and treats for that special someone.
Squeaky Toys
Every dog loves a squeaky toy. The pet feels like a real hunter. However, people are not so concerned with the sound all day long. A popular gift this year is the Hear Doggy Silent Squeaker Dog Toy [1]. People don’t hear the ultrasonic sound that comes from this toy, but your dog does. This is available through Chewy, Amazon, and Walmart. This is great for small or medium pups. However, it doesn’t last long with big chewers.
Clothing
We love to dress up our puppy. What better time to purchase a needed pair of boots, new sweater, or a darling bandana than Christmas? Multiple stores carry pet sweaters for the holidays or any day. Look around and pet boots are for sale, too. Even a hilarious seasonal hat changes the attitude of your dog.
All Around Toys
Like children, toys are a given Christmas gift. Your dog can always use more. From tug of war ropes, to flying disks, to balls for fetching, these items will be used. For larger breed dogs, take careful consideration in purchasing something that won’t be chewed to pieces right away, or even swallowed.
Gift Boxes
Certain distributors, like Chewy, sell gift goody boxes [2]. These are filled with anything from treats, to blankets, to photos. A one for all gift sure to please the pickiest pup.
These are just a few ideas to help you begin your pet holiday shopping. Remember all that your puppy has done for you all year long, through thick and thin, never complaining, and buy the dog a gift worthy of his value.
