Pet-friendly gifts for the holiday season
Are you looking to give your pet a different type of gift this year? Here are a few options to consider!
Interactive feeder. Interactive feeders stimulate your pet’s brain, while allowing them to have fun eating their meals or getting treats. Some interactive feeders have different “levels” allowing you to change the challenge of the game. There are many designs on the market, including snack balls, stacking food dispensers and slow feeders. These feeders can help lessen boredom, slow down pets that gulp their meals and can turn mealtimes into a stimulating activity.
Feeding station. A new feeding station can be a quick and easy gift for your pet. A placemat can help contain the mess of sloppy eaters and drinkers! If your pet’s dishes are looking a little worse for wear (chipped ceramic bowls, worn-out plastic dishes), the holidays are a great time to gift your pet new dishes.
Kitty castle. Well, it may not quite be a castle, but a cat condo can make your cat feel like a king or queen and offers a number of mental and physical opportunities. From climbing, to scratching and hiding, a cat condo can provide a spot for your pet to watch the activity of the household and keep an eye on all the wildlife outside!
Pet tunnels. Tunnels can be a fun addition to your pet’s play routine. Most cat tunnels are collapsible and made of crinkly fabric to keep your cat’s interest. They often have dangling toys at one end as well as peep holes that encourage games of chase. They allow your cat to hide, run and ambush while playing with you or another cat in your home. If you’ve been thinking about agility training for your dog, a dog tunnel can be a great way to introduce this fun activity.
Happy Holidays!
