With the holiday season coming at us rather fast, my plan for this month was to find some thoughtful, neat, and inexpensive gifts for the pet owners in your life. Let's face it, finding gifts for people is hard, and finding a pet related gift can be even tougher. You could always go with something simple, say a stuffed toy for dogs, or a scratching post for cats. If however you want your gift to be something that they probably don't have, a unique gift is in order. Consider the following list when your doing your holiday shopping:
Pet-ZZZ-pad®: This a great product for any pet. You've undoubtedly witnessed your pet lounging in the sun, they love the warmth. On cold days however, their proximity to the floor makes it colder for them, and for small (or short-haired) dogs its even colder. Pet-ZZZ-pad® is a water resistant (easily wipe-able) pet heating pad. Its shaped in a circle for ease of placement, and has a steel cased cord for chew protection. All of that is great, but for me this makes it: Pet-ZZZ-pad® is pressure sensitive, automatically turning on when your pet gets on it, and automatically turning off when he leaves. No worrying about your pet getting cold when your at work or leaving a heater on the whole time. Pet-ZZZ-pad® comes with machine washable fleece cover. Available in Small (12") and Large (16") $19.99 and $29.99 respectively.
The Sharper Image® pet pedometer: Monitoring your pet's calorie intake versus calories burned is tough. This product easily solves this problem. Easy 1 touch LCD screen operation, slim, lightweight, and quickly connects to your pets collar for no hassle use. Pet pedometer tracks steps, distance, and more importantly calories. This is also a great product for overweight pets, watching it you can keep their exercises consistent. Available in black and silver, runs off watch battery (included) and comes with 1 year warranty. $19.99
Vets Best® Dry Clean waterless cat bath: Everybody know most cats hate water. So most cats don't get baths, and end up smelling rather unpleasant. Solution? Vets Best® cleans, deodorizes, detangles and protects, withOUT water. Just massage foam onto fur, let dry, then brush out to clean and remove tangles in a few minutes. Plus, it will leave your cat smelling fresh. $7.99 for a 4oz bottle.
Zero Odor® Pet Odor and Stain remover: I normally wouldn't review such a simple product, but as it received such outstanding reviews, I figured I had to. Zero Odor® eliminates pet odors not by concealing it in fragrances (in fact, its odorless) but by bonding with odor molecules and permanently dissolving them. Wherever its sold, it receives 5 stars. $19.99 16oz spray bottle.
Another great gift to give dog owners is a training book. Not just simple training, but fun tricks, commands, and obedience. Not only is it stimulation and fun for the dog, but its great bonding time with the owner. One book I would recommend would be "101 Dog Tricks by Kyra Sundance " its loaded with full color pictures, easy to understand instructions, helpful commands, and tricks are grouped in level of difficulty. Great book for any level of training. $15.99
For the hard to shop for pet owner, a simple gift card to their favorite local or online pet store is sure to bring a smile to their face. But what about the owner who has everything? A thoughtful idea is to donate some money to a local or favorite pet related charity, in their, or their pets name. You, and they, know the money will do some serious good. Now with all this shopping for others, don't forget your own pet! He probably could use some cheering up. Wow, next month it will be December, then pretty soon New Years...2012 went by fast! Until then!
