What’s that old saying? A pet is for life, not just for Christmas. While this may be true, they are still a big part of our lives at Christmas too. With a little help from my dad and his dog Willow, and of course our very out cat Pebbles; I have put together a few gift ideas for pets this Christmas. So - ready or not - it’s time to read on for my top 2020 Christmas gift ideas for cats and dogs!

For Cats

Comfortable, cosy beds

Even better if you can convince them to actually sleep in them. Pebbles has a tendency to sleep next to, above, opposite or pretty much anywhere you other than blanekts and beds we've tried in the past. I cannot stress how amazed I was with how quickly she took to her new Mikki Cat Snoozer* and no matter where we've moved it or how often the baby has crawled into it with her, she loves it still. There is no better Christmas gift than one which is used and loved by the recipient… even if that is your cat!

Food and treats

With a Christmas twist

I have one of the fussiest eaters in my home… and it’s not my one of my children; it’s my cat! Pebbles is notorious for refusing to eat certain types of food but with Lily's Kitchen and their fabulous Christmas range we are on to a winner. With a wide variety of products from advent calendars to treats and more you can find every type of gift within their range. We are definitely going to have to place an order for some more now Pebbles has fallen in love!

Toys

At around 9 years old (we can’t be certain as she is a rescue!) Pebbles may as well be a kitten when it comes to toys. From rattles to squeaky toys and more, she loves to chase, pounce and play as if she were a few weeks old. It just goes to show that you can never be too old for a new toy at Christmas - especially if it has catnip too!

For Dogs

Comfortable, stylish beds

Our pets really are a part of our families, so don’t they deserve the best? A Sleepeezee luxury dog bed certainly fits the bill. With a variety of designs, colours and sizes you’re bound to find something for your pup here. The best part is these beds are machine washable at 60°, so you can banish those musty pet smells whenever you need to.

Reusable fleece liners

For dog owners whose pets travel in crates in the back of the car, or sleep in them at night a Kavee fleece liner* is the perfect gift. However, these beautifully soft, fleece blankets - despite beint designed as reusable liners for crates and cages - can just be used as a blanket around your home. Protect your sofa or even your bed from pet hairs, and do it in style!

We all love to indulge in Christmas chocolates and the perfect turkey roast during this most wonderful of seasons… Why shouldn’t your pet be able to get just as much enjoyment from their own food?

Toys

Pets are a bit like children, and can never have too many toys! Especially if they have a tendency to destroy their toys and need them replacing. Well, with an extreme chew toy from Nylabone* you won't need to be replacing their new toy any time soon. Tasting of bacon and designed to challenge even the most aggressive of chewers (like Willow!) these toys are the perfect gift for man's best friend this Christmas.
