While you’re out braving the crowds this holiday season searching for the perfect gift for your aunt, mother-in-law, and little Suzie’s teacher, don’t forget about the only creature in your life that truly makes you happy. I am of course writing about your pet. It doesn’t matter if you own a dog, a cat, or a bearded dragon; pets are nothing but love and he or she will never complain that your gift doesn’t fit or coyly ask for a gift receipt. So go out and spoil your real best friend with a few of the hottest pet products online or in a pet store near you.
Let’s start out with cats. My sister has two of the fussiest, most spoiled cats roaming the earth. They will only eat one particular brand of cat food, and it must be stirred before either one will go near it. Also, they refuse to drink stagnant water, so they used to wait until someone turned on a faucet, lunge for your chest, hiss at you to move, and steal a drink. The perfect solution and Christmas gift for these two furry fuss pots was a pet water fountain. The apparatus has a water tank in the back that you fill with fresh water. All you do is fill the reservoir, plug it in, and adjust the flow to your kitty’s preference. The more expensive models, which run anywhere from $40-$80, also come equipped with a filtration system. You can purchase a more basic fountain for around $15. It will lack all the bells and whistles, but the cheaper model will still get the job done.
The dog in your life will probably love anything your give him or her because it is coming from you. That is what I love about dogs. They are just looking to please their humans. An older dog will probably enjoy a new bed. If you live in colder climates, purchase a heated bed for your best friend, especially if they are a breed that doesn’t function well in the winter months. A puppy would probably enjoy something a little more active. My sister-in-law’s young dog loves to run, as most do. The best thing she ever bought for her golden retriever was a Chuckit! Ball Launcher. This is a great way to play fetch without killing your arm, and you can literally launch the ball 140 feet. Obviously this isn’t the greatest toy for your dog if you live in fifth story walk up in Manhattan. If that is the case, stick with a shiny, new dog bone instead.

If you are the proud owner a more exotic pet, then you may have to forego a gift all together. It is kind of a letdown when you spend a ton of money on a new heated rock for your ball python and it is less than enthusiastic. As a matter of fact, it will probably continue to ignore you all together. Instead, buy yourself a new coffee mug with your pet’s name on it and sip some hot cocoa while you watch your fish swim around its bowl.
