Throwing Toys

Dogs love to run, it’s just how they are. Plenty of dogs love to play fetch so to help them run and play there are several toys to look at. Plastic throwing arms are perfect for the dogs that love to run far, or in my case, so I don’t have to pick up a slimy ball.

Chew Toys

There are different types of chew toys to look at and to keep in mind. Are you okay with sqeaky toys? Fuzzy toys? Indestructable toys? Some dogs like to just hold their toys as a comfort. You know your canine best so you can look for the right gift.

Clothes

Now don’t freak out! You don’t need to dress your dog up in a tutu or a costume but does your dog need some help in the rain? Maybe your dog doesn’t like to get wet and will only go out if it has a coat on. There are different options to consider. Maybe your dog has less fur and needs a sweater to stay warm during this holiday season.

Though the holidays are hectic and a bit messy sometimes it is also a time to sit and be with the ones you love so take this time and give some extra little love to your favorite pup this Christmas season.
