It’s hard to believe, but the holidays are upon us again. If you’re struggling to find the perfect gift for your furry friend, fret no more. Oski (my photogenic boxer and frequent helper) has some helpful holiday gift suggestions.

1. Toys

Turn back the clock and find your pet’s inner kitten or puppy with a fun new toy. Who doesn’t like a game of tug-o-war? GoDog Rope TEK dog tug toy is one of Oski’s favorites. GoDog Rope tug toys come in a variety of shapes and are bonded for extra durability. Available at: Petsmart and Petco

For dogs that love squeaky toys. The HearDoggy®ultrasonic squeaky toy is a great gift for your pooch and you! HearDoggy® ultrasonic toys squeak at a frequency that only dogs can hear. So now your dog can squeak all day long without driving you and your guests crazy during the holidays.

Don’t forget your feline friends, they like toys too.  My cats can’t get enough of their SmartyKat Fringe Frenzy tunnel. They love playing hide-and-seek in the tunnel and they find the crinkle sound and dangling toy and fringe irresistible. Available at: Walmart

2. Comfort

Pamper your pet with a plush, cozy new bed. La-Z-Boy, known for its reclining chairs and sofas, introduces the La-Z-Boy Pet collection. Made from luxurious fabrics and built for durability, their quality beds are sure to last for years. The La-Z-Boy Pet Collection comes in a variety of styles and color patterns so that pet parents can choose a piece to match their décor.

5. Convenience

Okay, maybe a robotic vacuum is a gift for yourself, but don’t you deserve it after years of picking up after your pet? The ILIFE A7 robotic vacuum cleaner is designed to take the work out of housework. The ILIFE A7 can be programmed to clean at any day of the week, and at any time of the day. Using the remote or your smart phone, you can choose from 5 different cleaning modes: automatic (random pattern), spot, edge, maximum, or path (cleans in a systematic pattern). Its low profile design allows it to access those hard to reach places under your furniture. It even docks automatically to recharge when its battery is low. So while your ILIFE A7 robotic cleaner is vacuuming your home, you’re free to do something fun with your furry friends.

6. Pet-loving kids

What do you get for the kid you know who loves animals? Well, if they are like most kids and want to be a vet when they grow-up, consider my new picture book Lisette the Vet. The book is about Lisette, a smart, book-reading, animal-loving girl who wants to be a veterinarian when she grows up. When something happens to the new class pet, Lisette must overcome her fears to save the day. Lisette the Vet teaches children to respect all living creatures, to face their fears and to rise to the challenge. Beautifully illustrated, they will want to read it over and over, and it’s sure to become one of their all-time favorites.
