Valentine’s Day Gifts for Your Furry Loved Ones

Our pets give so much yet ask for so little in return. Show them how much we love and appreciate them this Valentine’s Day with one of these great gift ideas.

Treats
Chocolate is the number one Valentine’s Day gift, which isn’t surprising since everyone loves getting sweets for Valentine’s Day. Unfortunately for dogs, chocolate is toxic to them. So, what can you give them? Instead of a box of chocolates, give them a box of treats, chews, or cat nip for your feline loved ones. All dogs and cats love treats. And if you’re feeling really creative, you can make a Valentine’s Day treat box for your pet by filling a heart-shaped box with some their favorite treats!

Toys
What better way to show your pet that you love them than by giving them something fun? P.L.A.Y.’s dog toys are fun, innovative, and eco-friendly. P.L.A.Y. makes a variety of toys: whimsical soft plush toys, durable ZoomieRex toys, stimulating enrichment toys, outdoor toys and rope toys. Remember, a busy dog is a happy dog.

Fashion
Everyone wants to look good on Valentine’s Day. Why not give your pet an adorable outfit that not only looks fabulous, but also keeps them warm on a chilly February outing? Bring the haute couture of the catwalk to your next dog walk. From fancy to casual, practical to fashionable, keep your pet cozy this winter while turning heads on your next outing.

Relaxation
Pets know the value of relaxation. Whenever your pet has any down time, you’re likely to find them taking a nap. That’s why your pet will enjoy a comfy, new pet bed for Valentine’s Day. Consider getting a stylish dog bed, that’s not only adorable, but also super comfy so your dog or cat will love it! P.L.A.Y. has a variety of stylish, cozy, and comfortable eco-friendly beds made from 100% post-consumer certified-safe recycled plastic bottles.

Doggy (or kitty) spa
Give your pet the gift of beauty. You love the spa so why shouldn’t your dog enjoy a little pampering too? VetDerm Solutions Pet Shampoo was created by a veterinarian and dermatologist and is made with human-grade ingredients, like shea butter, aloe, oatmeal, and green tea to hydrate and moisturize your pet’s skin and coat. Of course, it is paraben-free, sulfate-free, tear-free and cruelty-free to provide your pet with the ultimate bathing experience.

Good Health
Lastly, give your pet the ultimate gift of love: good health. Don’t wait until your pets get sick before taking them to the veterinarian. Your pets should have regular checkups, at least annually, and every 6 months for pets older than 7 years. These examinations allow your veterinarian to ensure your pet is protected against preventable diseases and helps your pet stay ahead of potential health problems. In the long run, regular checkups not only save you money, but also, ensure that your pet will live a long and healthy life. And what’s more important than the gift of good health?

When you are thinking about what to get for your loved ones this Valentine’s Day, don’t forget about your four-legged friends. Show them how much you value and appreciate their unconditional love and companionship.

Holiday Gift Ideas for Your Fur-babies

2020 has been an especially challenging year. Stay at home orders, working from home, and distance learning have made everyone a little stir crazy. If it wasn’t for the comfort our pets give us, most of us would have lost our sanity months ago. Show your pets how much you value and appreciate their unconditional love and companionship this holiday season with a gift they are sure to love.

Toys

Dogs and cats love to play. Buy your dog a new toy to bring out their inner puppy. HERO dog toys offer a variety of fun, innovative, and durable toys. HERO makes squeaky toys, durable chew toys, plush toys, and retrieving toys. With their extensive selection, you are sure to find a toy that your dog will love.

And don’t forget about your feline friends. Playing with your cat is not just fun, it keeps them active and is good for their health. Some ideas for fun cat toys are catnip toys, cat trees, dangling wands, and laser pointers.

Collars & Leashes

Another bright gift idea is the Blazin’ Safety rechargeable LED collar and leash. They light up so that you and your pet are visible during night time walks. Visible from up to 350 yards away, they can last over 8 hours with a full charge. These collars and leashes are not only cool looking but help keep you and your pet safe at night.

Bowls
Get something for your pet and your home. Loving Pets has a variety of bowls to match your dog’s and home’s personality and style. Affordable, durable, and stylish, they will fit in any décor and ensure your pet eats in style.

Apparel

Keep your dog warm and fashionable this winter with modern dog clothes from Dog Threads. Dog Threads offers a wide selection of doggy apparel and best of all they also offer matching styles for you! That’s right you and your dog can wear matching flannels, Hawaiian shirts, hoodies, pajamas and more! You and your dog will be the envy of everyone in the neighborhood and 2% of your purchase will be donated to a non-profit animal rescue.

Comfy Pet Bed

Everyone knows pets love to nap (hello, have you heard of a cat nap?). What could be a better gift than a cozy new bed for your pet? Pamper your pooch with a Casper dog bed. Engineered by the same team behind their famous Casper mattress, Casper dog beds are made with two-layer foam construction to provide support and cushioning. Casper dog beds also have removable covers for easy washing.

Spa
Spas may be closed now but that doesn’t mean you can’t give your pet the gift of beauty. Pamper them with a new luxurious pet shampoo. VetDerm Solutions Super Hydrating & Conditioning Pet Shampoo is a uniquely formulated shampoo that uses human-grade ingredients and antioxidants such as green tea, shea butter and oatmeal to cleanse, hydrate and soothe your pet’s skin. Their coat will not only be clean, shiny, but also super soft.

Treats

You can never go wrong with treats. Not only do all pets love treats, but they also make perfect stocking stuffers. Treat your dog or cat to some tasty treats this holiday season.

The Gift of Health

Give your pets the ultimate gift: the gift of health. Don’t wait until your pet is sick. If your pet is overdue, take them to your veterinarian for a check-up. Routine check-ups allow your veterinarian to detect medical issues early when they are easiest to treat and help keep your pet in top shape. And if you don’t already have it, get pet insurance for your pets. Pet insurance allows you can focus on your pet’s veterinary care and not how you’ll pay for it.

Even though your pets can’t tell Santa what they want for Christmas, holiday shopping for your pet doesn’t have to be hard. If you’re still trying to find the perfect gift for your loyal, four-legged best friend, think about some of these gift ideas. They are sure to bring a wag to your pet’s tail.

Don’t Forget Your Pets This Holiday

Has your pet been naughty or nice this year? Reward your well-behaved furry friend with the purr-fect gift this holiday season. These paw-pular gift ideas are sure to make a tail wag or a cat meow.

Treats
Pet treats are always at the top of every pet’s wish list. Instead of giving just any old treat, give them something yummy, good for the environment, and healthy. Chippin® dog treats are made from pumpkin, flaxseed and crickets. Yes, crickets. Crickets may seem like an unconventional food ingredient, but crickets are a sustainable, healthy source of protein that contains more omega-3 fatty acids and vitamin B12 than salmon. And more important to your pooch, they taste great!

Tasty Supplements

If you follow health trends, then you know that collagen supplements have become one of the most popular nutritional supplements. Collagen is the most abundant protein in the body and is found in connective tissue, muscles, and skin. As we age, collagen is broken down faster than our body can replace it. A growing body of evidence suggests that collagen supplements have a number of health benefits, such as helping with arthritis, wound healing, muscle wasting, and promoting healthier skin. Why not give your pet the gift of health? The Missing Link® Collagen Care™ supplements are bite-sized soft chews available in three unique formulations to address joint pain, skin and coat issues, and anxiety.

Toys
Pets just want to have fun. Bring out the inner puppy with a new stimulating toy. HERO dog toys offer a variety of fun, innovative, and durable toys. Designed by dog enthusiasts, HERO dog toys inspire play and stimulate your dog’s mind. Many HERO dog toys are designed to dispense treats and reward your dog for their foraging behavior and focused play. Keep your dog entertained and keep boredom at bay with a new toy this holiday.

Bowls
Get something for your pet and your home. Loving Pets has a variety of bowls to match your dog’s and home’s personality and style. Retro bowls are sleek and come in pink, blue, and white and are the perfect addition to a modern décor. Ruff N Tuff® bowls are made out of heavy-duty stainless steel and complement an edgy industrial look. Finally, Bella Bowls® Designer and Expressions Collection are their best-selling bowls and are available in a variety of designs to fit any home décor. Now your dog can eat in style.

High-Tech Gadget
Hate leaving your pet home alone while you work? Varram Pet Fitness is a high-tech way to keep your dog and cat entertained when you’re away. This robotic toy zooms around the room and dispenses treats, keeping your pets stimulated and entertained for hours. It is programmable so you can decide when you want your pet to play and reward your pet at scheduled times. And you can easily control the robot and monitor your pet’s activity with your smartphone. With Varram Pet Fitness you no longer have to worry that your pet is bored while home alone.

Cat & Dog Wine
Why should your pet feel left out when you’re enjoying a glass of wine or cold brew this holiday? Pet Winery makes dog and cat vitamin-enriched beverages designed to look like your favorite alcoholic beverages, but without the alcohol. Toast your kitty with a glass of Meow & Chandon, or your dog with a bottle of Bark Brew Dog Beer this holiday. And if you are looking for a gift for your pet-loving friend who has it all or you need to bring a bottle of wine to a party, Pet Winery has all kinds of fun beverages for your feline and canine friends.

Doggy spa
Give your dog the gift of beauty and pamper them with a new luxurious pet shampoo. VetDerm Solutions Super Hydrating & Conditioning Pet Shampoo is a uniquely formulated shampoo that uses human-grade ingredients and antioxidants such as green tea, shea butter and oatmeal to cleanse, hydrate and soothe your pet’s skin. Paraben-free, sulfate-free, tear-free, cruelty-free and fragrance-free, VetDerm Solutions Pet Shampoo is designed to clean and hydrate your pet’s skin without overwhelming your dog’s exquisite sense of smell. Let’s face it, how many dogs do you know that want to smell like a rose or lavender?
