Don’t forget your pet this holiday season

With all the excitement of the holiday season going on, your pet dog or cat has bound to have sat up and taken notice by now. The shiny baubles, the crunchy gift-wrap, the long and tantalizing wires of LED lights, it’s all too much to bear. To help take Fido and Tigger’s mind off all that glitters, buy them some kind of interactive toy this holiday season.

What about some catnip bubbles for your cat. (How I wish they came in chocolate). This is a two-in-one kind of gift: Your kids will have fun blowing the bubbles and your cat will enjoy chasing and popping them, especially when they release the intoxicating catnip inside.

Or the Bubbletastic bacon bubble machine for your dog (I think I’m in heaven!) Better than watching TV, your dogs will put on quite the show when you set up this machine. Let the whole family sit back and enjoy hours of entertainment as Fido leaps and bounds after these beastly bacon bubbles.

Once the house is filled to the rafters with family and the succulent smell of roast turkey, and everyone is seated around the tree, it’s time to open the presents. This is a time of rapture for your pets. All that crunchy paper to shred – whoHOO! Now would be a good time to get out an interactive toy that will take their mind off all the excitement.

The Babble Ball is the perfect kind of gift as it requires no supervision. Activated by motion sensor, this toy will utter sweet nothings to your pet like ‘Here kitty, kitty!’ or emit some jungle animal noise like the roar of a lion – 20 phrases and animal noises to get your pet’s attention. Available for dogs, cats, birds and ferrets, this is the kind of toy that will keep your pet occupied so you can enjoy the festivities with family and friends.

Don’t forget to wrap your pet’s gift. We know how much they love shredding that paper.
