Unique Holiday Pet Gifts

Pets as Gifts: Bad Idea!

Why do you think that the animal shelter population always increases right after the Holiday Season? It is very difficult to resist that cute little bundle of Joy in the window, isn't it? Well, please contain yourself! You should not surprise family members or anyone, with animals as gifts! Uncle Albert might not feel that lonely. He might not want a furry companion whom he would have to walk and feed. He might not have the time or the patience...

There are so many reasons why pets should not be given as Holiday gifts. Remember that a Pet will live an average of fifteen years: this is a very serious commitment... You should not make that decision for anyone else! And you do not want your Gift to be returned or placed in a shelter, do you?

The Holiday Season is always a very busy and chaotic time for everyone. The pet might become frightened and disoriented. It is probably not the best time to introduce a new pet to a unfamiliar environment and new faces.

Animal Products as Gifts: Good Idea!

There are other ways to bring Pet Love into a home during the Holidays:
Give a pet oriented gift to the family so they can get a taste of the Pet Love and have time to discuss and prepare to the idea of having a new four-legged friend before they actually get one.

1) A book about Dog training to show them that a lot of time needs to be devoted to a pet.
2) A Dog or Cat breed book to help them choose the best pet for their family: if they choose to have a Dog they will learn about breeds different needs, temperaments, etc...
3) A leash (they will have to walk the Dog)
4) Pet grooming supplies.
5) Pet toys.
6) A pet bed or a feeder: Make your gift even more unique by giving
a Whiner and Diner pet feeder! These elevated pet dishes are hand-crafted out of wooden wine crates from prestigious European and Californian vineyards, outfitted with stainless steel bowls and can be personalized with the pet’s name.
Add a bottle of wine to your gift for the wine lover, or fill the bowls with golf balls for the golf lover…
A gift from you they will never forget!

Whatever gift you decide to give to them, let pet owners pick their own pet, and everyone will have a Happy Holiday and a Merry Christmas!
