29 Holiday Gifts for Pets Who Deserve the Best This Year (and Every Year)

Santa always has some delightful tricks up his sleeve, and this toy version of Old St. Nick is no different. Once your pup has torn into the soft exterior, they’ll find a hidden squeaky cookie-shaped toy inside. 

Everyone deserves something special in their stocking, your cat included. This Merry & Bright stocking stuffer set makes it easier than ever to shower your cat in all the little toys and gadgets they could wish for, from crinkly kickers to a feather wand. 

This easy-to-assemble sisal scratching post will keep your cat happy and stimulated — and your couch free of claw marks. It’s the gift that keeps on giving. 

Whether your pup’s in the mood for a game of fetch, some solo chewing time, or a competitive tug-of-war session, they’ll love this durable rope toy. 

If your pup’s partial to a round of tug-of-war or needs a little Christmas magic added to their game of fetch, snag them this adorable rope gingerbread toy. The only thing cuter than that teeny Santa hat? Watching it fly through the air when your doggo gets the zoomies. 

Just like a real Christmas tree, this squeaky dog toy is concealing a special surprise gift. Once your pup shreds it open and digs out the fluff, they can find the hidden second toy: an adorable Christmas light ornament. 

Your cat’s perfect in your eyes, but if we’re being totally honest, they’re probably not making Santa’s nice list — and they wouldn’t have it any other way. This cozy sweater will keep ‘em warm while they get back to knocking over your planter.

Your dog’s already the most magical creature you know, so why not let them show off their Christmas spirit in this cozy Santa costume? Keep in mind that not all pups like wearing clothing, so don’t take offense — and don’t push your pup — if a red suit isn’t their thing. 

When your pup finally winds down after all the holiday excitement, they’ll need a place to crash. This dog bed by Top Paw is machine washable, spacious, and ultra-comfy. 

For pets in need of some extra support, an elevated dog bed can relieve joint pressure. This pick by Top Paw is made with orthopedic foam that’ll help ease aches and give your pup a restful night’s sleep. 

OK, maybe this is more of a gift for you, but your cat will appreciate it, too. This litter box is designed to look like a planter, keeping the less endearing parts of cat parenting out of sight and out of mind. Plus, it includes a one-year supply of odor-control filters. 

Cats love the feeling of this non-clumping crystal cat litter — and you’ll love that it traps odor instantly. As if that weren’t enough, Pretty Litter changes color to detect health issues, so you can monitor your cat’s health when you do your daily scooping.
