To make this gift extra fun, put it under the tree with all the torn wrapping paper from opened presents. Watch as your little beast hunts around for the bone you\u2019ve hidden within. Just make sure they don\u2019t knock the tree over! If your dog isn\u2019t big on bones, use their favorite treat. If you\u2019re not big on messes, get your pet a stocking!<\/p>\n<h3>Booties and Sweaters<\/h3>\n<p>Love taking your furry friend for walks in the snow? Protect their paws from getting snow trapped between the grooves with dog <a href=\"https:\/\/www.chewy.com\/b\/boots-socks-1732\">booties<\/a>! While you\u2019re at it, make sure your pet is warm by gifting them a cozy sweater.<\/p>\n<h3>A New Toy<\/h3>\n<p>It could be a new piece of rope. It could be a new ball. You could even get a pillow to be torn apart. You know your furry family member\u2019s favorite toys best. Go get them one of their favorites and make sure to spend some time playing with them. There\u2019s nothing that will make your dog happier than spending a little time playing with you on a day you\u2019re normally preoccupied with your human family members.<\/p>\n<h2><strong>Cats<\/strong><\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"http:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-cat-3805096_1920.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-5499 alignright\" src=\"http:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-cat-3805096_1920-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"pet christmas gifts\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-cat-3805096_1920-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-cat-3805096_1920-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-cat-3805096_1920-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.sittingforacause.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/11\/christmas-cat-3805096_1920.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>Catnip Tree<\/h3>\n<p>Get your cat their own tree for the holidays this season!

Just because their little doesn\u2019t mean they don\u2019t like to celebrate.<\/p>\n<h3>Favorite snack<\/h3>\n<p>Be sure to get your rat, hamster, mink, mouse, or whatever sweet little creature you call family their favorite treat. Nothing says celebration like eating your favorite foods. Just because your pet won\u2019t be at the dinner table with the family doesn\u2019t mean they can\u2019t feast. Let them pig out, but be sure not to let them eat too much (safety first)!<\/p>\n<h3>Maze Runner<\/h3>\n<p>There\u2019s tunnel additions to existing systems. Hamster wheels to run around in. Balls to roam your house with. Plenty of ways to let your furry guys get out and play!
