HOLIDAY GIFT GUIDE

One joy of the holiday season is the fun of gift giving; selecting the right gifts for our family and friends. Finding the “right” gift can also be very stressful. We attended SuperZoo, a 3-day pet product event showcasing every imaginable pet item available, and selected a few gift ideas for the pets and pet lovers on your list.

Since 1997, Snuggle Puppy has been providing comfort and reducing anxiety in dogs and cats. Snuggle Puppy and Snuggle Kitten recreate the sense of safety and security that puppies and kittens experienced when they snuggled with their moms and litter mates. They help with a variety of issues such as separation anxiety, crate training, thunderstorm or fireworks distress, plus more.

Health items, though not #1 on our pets’ gift wish list, enhance their total well-being. A great first-aid item is PETS First Aid Gel. It relieves common pet skin irritations: hotspots, sores, bug bites, paw burn to list a few. Sovereign Silver for PETS helps support a healthy immune system and helps relieve seasonal allergies https://sovereignsilver.com/pages/pets

It’s important to safely include pets in our holiday celebrations. They enjoy receiving gifts during the holidays; they love the sight of wrapped gifts, the sound of unwrapping gifts; they enjoy playing with the paper, boxes and the gifts inside too. Like children, our pets can be overwhelmed and overstimulated with the gifts and holiday celebrations during this time. Creating a Twelve Days of Pet Gifts is one way to spread the joy and fun of gifts over a period of time.
