A great gift and a good way to keep your pet occupied is a new toy! There are a variety of toys that can range between any pet that you have. PetSmart is a great place to get a toy for your pet this holiday season and most of their toys come as low as three dollars. That means you can get a variety of toys for your pet and truly spoil them for the holidays. Because honestly, they really deserve it. 

A new bed

Another gift you can get your pet is a new bed. After a long day of running around and being active, a bed is a great place for your pet to lay down and rest for a while. And instead of giving them an old blanket or pillow for them to sleep on, a bed is a great alternative. They come in a wide range of sizes and are so cozy your pet will never want to leave. At Petsmart, the beds come in a wide range of prices as low as eight dollars. That’s a great price for such a nice gift for your cuddly friend.

The easiest way to spoil your pet this holiday season is by giving them a ton of treats. The holidays are a perfect time to eat all the food you want so why not do the same for your pets? For dogs you can get them biscuits or even a huge bone to surprise them. Giving your pet a gift is the sure fire way to make your pet light up immediately.  PetSmart even has holiday cookies that are pet friendly! That way you can give your pet a treat and keep them in the holiday spirit. 

A cute outfit

This idea is more for you than your pet, but a great gift is a cute outfit! If you like dressing up your pet everyday, getting them a holiday sweater is a great idea. You can get holiday themed clothes all over the internet and at any pet store near you. They range from cute little hats, shoes, and of course sweaters. And any of these options will make your pet look super cute!

When people think of getting gifts for their loved ones they often forget about their pets. Make sure to give your pets a little extra love this holiday season since they love you unconditionally all year long. Happy Holidays!
