Holiday shopping season is here already? Say it ain’t so.
But let’s not forget to pick up a little something special from “Santa” for our four-legged friends this holiday! They may have just as much fun opening the gifts as they do playing with them!
Who knows better than pet people on what are the best gifts and treats? Below are 10 reasonably priced, pet-lover endorsed presents for your cherished animals you can buy online!
1.) SmartyKat Hot Pursuit Electronic Concealed Motion Cat Toy
Fur Star Pet Care’s own Jeanette Hale recommends this awesome cat toy! The kitties just love this!
A toy attaches to a small motor below the fabric circle. The toy moves under the fabric but then peeks out as it moves along. This really keeps the cats interested. The blinking lights feature also adds to the entertainment.

The toy shuts off after a while to save on power and limit stimulation. Jeanette says, “Our cats love it so much, they sleep on it! Sometimes even when it’s off!”
Currently $15.14 from Chewy.com
2.) Cat Dancer 101: Cat Dancer Interactive Cat Toy
Is your cat relentlessly attacking the Christmas tree? This Cat Dancer toy may be just the diversion you need to give that tree a break!
The Cat Dancer is a very simple toy that makes for hours of fun. It’s a piece of curved wire with cardboard at either end.
One user says, “This is the cheapest, most amazing cat toy ever. Never met a cat that wouldn’t play with it for hours.”
This fun toy is only $2.09 at PetCo.

These colorful springs come in packs of 10. One cat mom in Alberta, Canada says that her kitty loves to play with these colorful coils.

6.) Keeping Busy with Pawzzles
Whoever decided to make getting treats a challenge has got to be a genius. When pulling yummies out of a Kong isn’t quite challenging enough for your pooch, there are pawzzles!
See how smart your dog is by watching them work at these puzzles to earn their tasty reward.
These cool contraptions start at about $11 on Amazon
7.) Kong Toy Jumbler Disc
Another toy that will keep a dog busy because of its puzzling nature is the Saturn-shaped KONG Jumbler Disc toy!
In the center of the disc is a spherical compartment that can house other toys, like their favorite ball. The pup can spend hours trying to get at the insides!
One California dog mom says, “they cannot destroy it and have so much fun chasing it. So durable.”
You can order one of these from Pets Warehouse for only $8.96!
8.) BarkShop Best Bets
Amongst all the rough and tumble dog toys are the softer and cuter dog toys. One website offers really cute plushies for your pooch to play with!
A Missouri-based dog mom doted over the Murphy’s Mochi toy from Bark Shop! Unfortunately, this was a seasonal offering, and that season has passed. But there are brand new products to pick from that are just as cute!
Heli-yum Balloons is a close match to the Mochi. You can order one now for $10.
Order soon, because some Bark Shop designs are seasonal and limited edition!
9.) Chuckit! Ultra Grip Dog Ball Launcher
Fetch! It’s what dogs live for. What better way to get some post-Christmas dinner exercise than to toss the ball around in the yard and try out your dog’s new toy!
One Ontario, Canada dog mom says that the ChuckIt! ball his her good boy’s, “Most prized possession.”
Bear loves his ChuckIt ball!

10.) Bully Sticks: Treats for Dogs
Another product recommended by this dog mom are Bully Sticks. Like herself, other buyers prefer the odorless version of these treats!
They look just like a cinnamon stick!
They last a while and dogs love them! Try out a new treat this holiday! Orders start at around $15 from the Bully Sticks website.
BONUS TOY: Good Boys Go Ballistic over the BazooK-9
This takes tennis ball fetch to the next level! We think it fits perfectly under the tree, too.
The BazooK-9, Loads of fun!
You can take this to the park for around $20 when your order through Chewy.
Your furry friends have been good all year for Santa. Don’t forget to put something under the tree for them this holiday!
