My pets love Christmas as much as we humans! We have a constant stream of visitors for them to jump over and deposit hair on (they sure do regret wearing black!) Izzy, Jack and Roddy have their own personalised Christmas stockings, which hang on the mantelpiece over the fire – and every year Santa fills them with treats and toys. They even have a small Christmas dinner on the big day … of course they love Christmas! Here’s our 2023 Christmas Gift Guide for Pets … some fantastic ideas, just in case Santa forgets to stop …

GREEN & WILD’S CHRISTMAS GIFTS AND TREATS

About …
Green & Wild’s are a premium pet company that focuses on natural, healthy products with good, wholesome ingredients. They always have a fabulous range of Christmas gifts for dogs and cats. Now, Jack and Izzy are very particular about Christmas treats and toys. Green & Wild’s never disappoint them!
Izzy loves a toy (obsessively so) and the ‘You’re Toast’ toy (RRP £9.00) ticks all the boxes – with the toy being made of tough leather, there’s a chance it might last a little while. (Well, at least over the Christmas holiday!) Jack is a bit of a gourmet and will be impressed with the Let’s Go Crackers! Christmas cracker (£3.95) for dogs, which provides a range of delicacies for him to enjoy. Izzy and Jack are entertaining a friend tomorrow, Goose, the Springer Spaniel from next door. They plan to share a bag of the Farmer Fred’s Xmas Turk-In (RRP £6.25) turkey chews while watching Strictly. It’s like getting the best biscuits out when you have guests round!
There really is something for all dogs and cats this Christmas at Green & Wild’s.

GUS & BELLA SANTA PAWS BOX

About …
Now this Santa Paws box from Gus & Bella (£34.90) is a gift for both a cat and its owner. It is a subscription product, but you can buy one-off boxes too. We think this is a great idea as the box contains so many cute and useful items, it covers all bases! For the humans, in this Santa Paws box we received a Meowy Christmas greeting card and envelope, a pair of fluffy cat slipper socks, a festive Pusheen lip balm, a wooden ginger cat tree decoration, and a festive gummy lollipop. For the cats, there’s two Catit Cuisine meals (a new natural food range), two creamy lick treats, a festive giant kicker cat toy and a King Catnip Christmas Pudding toy. This is a great treat box for any cat owner, whose cats don’t want to be left out!
PETLOVE HUNT & SQUEAK DOG TOYS
Buy ! LINK !
About …
PetLove’s Hunt & Squeak range of dog toys are a lot of fun – who doesn’t smile when looking at Wild Turkey (£10.33)? There’s something about Pheasant (£8.01) too … it has a comedic look on it’s face! All Hunt & Squeak toys have a built-in squeaker and a crinkle noise that all dogs love, making them great for a game of chase and fetch. They are made using poly-velvet, corduroy, synthetic fur, recycled polyfill and coral sherpa. Oh, and they are machine washable at low temperature.
CALMING PHEROMONE PLUG-IN DIFFUSER AND COLLAR FOR CATS
Buy ! LINK !
About …
Now Supercat Roddy is a ridiculousy chilled 13 year old cat, but previously we’ve had pets that were rather stressy a lot of the time. They seemed on edge a lot, always alert and reactive. In some cases this led to distructive behaviour. There is a solution to this now, with these products from Comfort Zone. They have developed a plug-in pheromone diffuser (£14.99) which is drug free and has been proven to help calm cats and kittens. There is a breakaway pheromone collar too that works in the same way. If you have, or know of someone with, a stressed cat this could be a game-changing gift for them.
WHAM-O TOYS

About …
Jazwares Wham-O Pets range consist of sturdy, durable outdoor toys. There’s the Frisbee Pets Floatsbee (£19.99), which is lightweight (so easy to throw as it is also easy to grip), and it floats on water – no risk of it sinking. Or there’s the SuperBall Bounce Glow dog ball (£12.99) that comes alive with flashing lights when you start to play with it. Or, for a longer independent game, there’s the Cluster Ball Treat Dispenser (£9.99) that is super-tough and can be filled with kibble that can be dispensed as the dog plays. Hours of fun! Good for energy and fitness, and keeping their brains active.
PARROT DOG TOY FROM MOUNTAIN WAREHOUSE
Buy ! LINK !
About …
We all fell in love with this bright red parrot with rope legs (£10.99)! On sale at Mountain Warehouse, this is a very strong, durable toy that we believe will withstand a lot of play time. Izzy dog has had her eye on parrot since it arrived – in fact at one point it went missing and ended up in her dogbed! (I wonder how it got there?!)
KOBE PET PRODUCTS
Buy ! LINK !
About …
Kobe is the name of Kikkerland’s office dog and family pet – and is therefore the name they sell their pet products under. And their range is extensive – always practical and always quirky. There’s this Seal dog toy (€13.00) that has the most incredible eyebrows! It squeaks, crinkles and is oh-so soft. When you are out and about, you can attach this Fake News water bowl (€11.00) to your dog lead; it is virtually weightless and inside the pouch is a folding water bowl that holds a surprising amount for its size. Also good to have connected to their lead, the Kobe dog-shaped Tick Tool (€7.50) easily helps find and remove nasty sheep ticks when you find one after long walks through grasslands. Check out the whole Kobe range of products in the link above.
NYLABONE CHEW
Buy ! LINK !
About …
Chews are good for your pets – they help keep their teeth clean. But if you have a medium-large dog, finding a chew that lasts is often a challenge. This Gourmet Style Strong Chew Toy (£11.99) from Nylabone is bacon flavoured and recommended for dogs up to 23kg in weight. It is driving Jack and Izzy crazy … they can’t wait to get their teeth around it! I can’t smell the bacon bits in it, but they clearly can!
Izzy, Jack, and Roddy are living the good life with those personalized stockings – such a cute touch!
There are a few gifts here that I need to pick up for my new rescue pooch plus an item or two fro my cat as well. I love my furry family members and they need gifts too!
This is such a fun selection of gifts for pets, we love treating our pup at Christmas.
