Christmas is a time of giving, and it’s only fair that we treat our furry friends as well. So we’ve put together this list of our favourite gift ideas. Hopefully it will help make this Christmas extra special for you and your pets.

Christmas Gifts

Several pet stores have dedicated sections for Christmas products, so these are always a good place to start if you are looking for Christmas orientated gifts like advent calendars, gift stockings or even Santa Claus outfits for dogs!

Monster Pet Supplies

At the Monster Pet Supplies Christmas shop, you’ll find a nice range of products that would make ideal presents for your cat or dog.

This Santa Claus Bottle Cruncher Dog Toy would make a perfect gift for your dog. It is made of a soft plush outer layer, over a crunchy plastic bottle. Most dogs love the sound and feel of these toys, so it will keep your four-legged friend occupied and happy while you get on with opening your own presents on Christmas Day!

It’s a well-known fact that cats love chasing laser lights, so what better gift for Christmas than this Festive Christmas Laser Cat Toy! It has different shapes of laser light including a snowman and Christmas tree, so is perfect for keeping your feline friend entertained on Christmas morning!

If you have smaller pets such as hamsters, gerbils and mice, then this charming Reindeer Bed for Small Animals would be a perfect gift. It is a soft and snuggly sleeping pouch for your little furry friend to relax in over the festive season.

Another gift for small pets that caught our eye was this Festive Fruit Tree, made from all natural ingredients including cereals, bilberries, apple and coconut.

Pet Planet

Pet Planet’s Christmas Department is packed full of pet present ideas at great prices. This Christmas Cat Bed is the purrfect gift for your cat who likes to snooze while everyone else indulges in mince pies. There’s also a toy attached for them to play with, and a sisal scratch pad for them to use as a scratching pad rather than that new Christmas jumper you’re wearing.

For the smaller pets in your family, then how about this awesome, fun and futuristic Mission Pod Hamster cage from Rotastak! Designed for hamsters, gerbils or mice, there is plenty to keep your pet entertained!

Are you looking for a fun toy to give your dog as a present that will be fun for you too? These adorable Dog Lips will provide entertainment for both you and your dog when your four-legged friend carries them!

Made from a colourful plush material, they will also be comfy for your dog to snuggle up to when they tire of being the centre of attention.

Pets Pyjamas

The Pets Pyjamas Christmas Shop is one of our favourites, as they have a great selection of gifts on offer. Make your pet dog feel extra special over the holiday season with this lovely Personalised Christmas Treat Box, which features a great selection of treats, toys and accessories with the added bonus of your pet’s name being printed on the box!

Cats shouldn’t feel left out, as they also have a Christmas Cat Treat Box, with a similar selection of treats and toys that your feline friend will not be able to resist on Christmas morning!

zooplus

Being based in Germany, zooplus don’t just have a Christmas shop – they have their very own Pet Christmas Market!

This section of their website is full of fantastic festive gift ideas for your pet, including cosy cat beds, luxury leather dog leads and collars and much more!

For the smaller dog, this stylish Lillehammer Dog Pullover would make a perfect gift. The wintery Norwegian design is both attractive and festive, and the jumper will help keep your dog warm during the cold winter months.

Made from stretchy fabric, it should mean it will still fit your dog even if they over-indulge slightly on Christmas Day!

The Frolicat Bolt Laser Cat Toy is already a popular toy for cats, and the laser pointer with in-built timer is a winning combination!

This should keep your cat happy and entertained while you relax after a delicious Christmas lunch.

And smaller pets aren’t left out either – this gift set for hamsters, mice and gerbils would make a perfect present for your small pet.

Gifts for Pet Owners

If you’re looking for a gift for a friend who has a pet, or even as a well-deserved treat for yourself then there are some lovely items available. These in particular caught our eye on our hunt for the best pet gifts!

A calendar is always a useful gift to give at Christmas, and one that will provide a whole year of use to the lucky recipient. Pet Planet have a wide selection of 2016 Pet Calendars featuring virtually any pet you can think of, including Tortoises, Bearded Dragons, Rabbits and Kittens as well as almost every breed of dog. The calendars are available in both square format, and narrow so there should be one to suit any pet owner you know!

If you’re stuck for ideas for what to give friends or family who have a cat or dog, then look no further! These Gift Sets for Cat Lovers and Dog Lovers have been created especially for cat and dog people everywhere, and contain a selection of treats and toys for cats or dogs.

Another great gift idea is this Animal Prints on Canvas Gift set. With this set, you will be able to create a wonderful keepsake of your pet – something to treasure forever. This set contains everything you need to create a timeless memento, and contains animal-friendly paint as well as practice paper so you can try it out first before creating the final version on the canvas block.

Another item that caught our attention were these stunning Christmas Tree Baubles. Choose from a selection of designs featuring different dog breeds, suck as Labrador, Poodle and Chihuahua. Each bauble is also festively decorated.

They are also shatterproof – very useful if your pet gets over-excited over the holidays and knocks your decorations off the tree!

There is also a great selection of gift ideas for dog lovers at Muddy Paws.
