2010 Gift Guide for Pets and Pet Lovers
You make your list, check it twice and determine whether your pet—or favorite pet owner—has been naughty or nice. Then comes the hard part: finding a gift for the cat, dog or coworker who has everything.
Worry not. MyPetHealthGuide.com has rounded up some unique holiday gift guides to help you pick the perfect presents for all the pets and pet people on your list. And just in case Black Friday crowds—or 4 a.m. wake-up calls—aren’t your cup of peppermint tea, all items are available online.
Our Top Picks
Greenest gift: The Wood Chuck RecycleBall ($24.95, PlanetDog.com). Great for the snow or the springtime, this contraption is sure to liven up your next outdoor romp and provide plenty of exercise for you and your pup.
Best bargain: These natural cat nip toys from Harry Barker are only $.50, so stock up. You know your kitty’s bound to bat them under the fridge or heating vent by New Year’s Eve.
Major multitasker: “Leader of the Pack” custom label wine ($240 for 12, Mutt Lynch Winery) is a great gift for the pet lover/oenophile in your life. Send along a pic of your pet and let him dress up a bottle of this 2007 Sonoma County red.
Strangest find: Adopt an octopus ($35, Oceana.org) and you’ll receive a special octopus cookie cutter with your adoption certificate. One-of-a-kind holiday treats plus the best answer to “So, what’d ya get?”—what could be better?
