Holiday Gift Ideas

    Top Holiday Gift Picks for Pets and Pet Lovers

1. Planet Dog Orbee Tuff Bulb with Treat Spot
Replace your ordinary dog chew with this holiday light bulb-shaped
chew from Planet Dog. Just like all their toys, it's durable, buoyant, and flavored with mint. It has a compartment to hide some tasty treats to keep your pup busy, and it's shaped for the season.

2. SmartCat Kitty Garden
Thse cute kitty gardens come with everything you need to plant organic oats, wheat, rye, and barley for your cat. Cats enjoy the fresh grass treats, which are safe alternatives to nibbling on houseplants and Christmas trees. The grasses grow in 4-6 days, prevent hairballs, and aid in digestion. The kitty garden comes in a sturdy wooden frame to prevent it from getting knocked over. These gardens make beautiful gifts for your friends--human and feline alike!

3. Apache River Dog Blanket Coats
These fleece coats are made stretchy to fit all shapes and sizes of dogs. They are fully lined, highly breathable, and look great, too! The coats are lightweight, yet very warm-- perfect for our New England winters. We have lots of sizes and colors in stock.

4. Super Pet Peek-A-Boo Flip Top Nest
These small animal hideouts are a combination nest, cuddle spot, and grass treat. They feature a hidey hole with a flip top, so that pets can jump and frolic in and around them. Made of natural, dye-free sisal, the nest makes a great place to rest and play, but also
encourages healthy gnawing and chewing. Guinea pigs, rabbits, gerbils, mice, rats, and small animals of all kinds will enjoy the fun!

5. Simply Fido Limited Edition Holiday Organic Plush Toys
These cute holiday-themed toys are made with low-impact, non-toxic dyes, natural cotton canvas and rope, and are available in adorable moose, reindeer, and penguin shapes. The're whimsical, environmentally responsible, and great for the holiday season. The Simply Fido company is very eco-friendly, using recyclable packaging, Earth-friendly dyeing proccesses, and organic materials, which means they make great gifts for pets AND the planet.

 

6. Douglas Paquette Designer Collars and Leashes
Douglas Paquette makes exquisite leashes and collars in some beautiful patterns and colors. They have a lot of luxury features, such as convenient, super strong stitching for durability, quick release snap closures, custom-dyed buckles to match each pattern, tapered edges on inner collar surfaces to add comfort and prevent fur matting, and custom and copyrighted ribbon designs you won't find anywhere else. These make classy, beautiful gifts.

7. Arubacat Cat Furniture
Cat furniture makes a great gift for any feline household. Cats have a natural inclination for scratching because it sharpens their claws, exercises their claw muscles, helps to scrape off the old outside covering of their nails, and gets a cat's own smell around the house. Having a cat-designated area, such as a cat scratcher or tree, helps your kitty feel safe and secure inside your home. While cats enjoy a place to scratch (and you'll enjoy that they're not scratching your carpet or furniture), they also like a place of their own to play perch, and sleep. Arubacat makes high quality cat furniture that's 100% made in the USA. These scratchers and cat climbers look great and enrich your kitty's life! 

Save on Bills
  3 Ways to Save Money on Vet Bills

1. Know Your Dog
Get to know your pet's eating and drinking habits, food preferences, and normal energy levels. Pay attention to your pet's urination and bowel movements, and even though it seems weird, you should become familiar with the frequency, size, and consistency of your animal's poop. This way, if your pet becomes sick, you will notice subtle changes in activity or food consumption. You might be able to catch an illness or disease in the early stages to help nip it in the bud before it becomes something serious or untreatable. Finding problems early can save you thousands of dollars in vet bills!!

2. Provide Good Nutrition
Grocery store brands are often inexpensive, but they are usually also cheap in quality. These types of foods do not provide your pet with the proper proteins, vitamins, minerals, and other essential ingredients for their bodies to function properly. Poor nutrition can lead to all sorts of skin and coat, dental, and a whole host of other health issues. Feeding high quality natural foods, such as grain free and raw diets, can help your animal have a healthy immune system, strong bones and teeth, and a general better state of health. This will save you money on vet bills, grooming costs, and medications over the course of its life!

3. Enjoy Frequent Grooming
Pets who are not groomed regularly often suffer from skin issues and parasites because they go unnoticed. A groomer inspects your pet very closely, and may notice lumps and bumps, bug bites, ear infections, oral disease, and other anomalies they might be indicators of larger issues. Frequent grooming can also prevent costly vet visits. When a pet's fur mats up tight enough, the skin can become starved of oxygen, which creates sores, and often, infections. A simple trip to the groomer and frequent brushing can prevent that type of disaster from occurring, and costing you the time and money on costly extra charges at the groomer and vet visits.
