Everyone is looking for the perfect Christmas gift for their pets, or even for their pet loving friends and family. We wanted to share a few of our favorite things to possibly help give you some ideas! We’re breaking it into two parts – The Momz’ Favorites today, and then the Crew’s Favorites tomorrow.

Best clothes for dress up – Dog’s Best Trend
You can get a stylish scarf for your dog every month! Read our full review of this new subscription product by clicking here.
I think the photos say it all. This is the Christmas scarf, and isn’t it beautiful? It looks great on every member of the crew. Plus one side says naughty, and one side says nice – I love that!
Sheba was the only one who got the “nice” side, and you can see that neither Luke nor Cricket was going to let you see that they got the naughty side! This makes a great gift for a dog loving friend or family member, or for your own dog(s). Click on the badge* below to learn more and to place your order.
Internet – Chewy.com & Amazon.com. I do most of my pet shopping online and between these two websites I can find almost everything I need.
Chewy is super fast and shipping is free over $49. I normally get all of my orders within two days. They have great prices too, and carry over 500 brands!
I have an Amazon Prime membership which means free 2 day shipping on most products. It costs $99 (free trial available) and has many other benefits as well. It’s definitely worth looking into. Free shipping is sometimes available without the membership but it’s not nearly as fast. Wag ‘n Woof Pets is an amazon affiliate so whenever you order through our links, we benefit!

Brick & Mortar – When I do get out, I find some of the best bargains on pet products at the TJX Chain – Marshall’s, TJ Maxx, and HomeGoods. Just look at the adorable toys I found for the crew for Christmas (shhh…don’t tell). The crazy bird was only $5.99 and that huge snowman (he’s almost 2 1/2 feet tall) was only $7.99. Did you notice his feet? They are going to love these!
You can also get their credit card and earn rewards points every time you shop!
Gifts that keep on giving:
Favorite pet charity – I have a few favorite pet charities but this year my biggest donation went to Morris Animal Foundation. They do so much cancer research, and since Sheba is our 5th pet with cancer, I think their work is extremely important. Their research benefits many types of animals, not just dogs and cats.
Right now they are holding a special fundraising drive “Season of Hope” where all donations are being matched, up to $100,000! That goes through December 31st so it’s the perfect time to give.
Treat yourself and your dog to an online class through Fenzi Dog Sports Academy! They have so many classes to choose from in the subjects of agility, obedience, scent sports, behavior and much, much more. You can read about the nose work class I took for Luke and I (& Cricket is learning now too) by visiting our post here, then visit their website to see what would interest you. We’ll be taking our next class after the holidays! Classes start at only $65 and you can work on your own time and at your own pace. The best gift you can give your dog and yourself is training; it does so much to increase your bond.
What are some of your favorite holiday ideas?
Come back tomorrow when the crew will share some of their favorite things!
Oh yes, I love Home Goods & my Amazon Prime Membership. Totally worth the $99. I recently had a package take two days longer than expected and contacted Amazon’s Customer Service about it. They made up for it by giving me an additional month for free. Now that’s excellent Customer Service!
Nothing sells me on a company more than good customer service! I received a broken item from amazon once, but getting credit for it turned out to be very easy.
Chewy has very good customer service too. They’ve sent items I didn’t order, and instead of having me return them, they credited me and told me to give them to the local shelter.
Ditto. Customer service can really make or break a company.
I love Morris Animal Foundation! We gave them a big donation in Callie’s name last Christmas and will be doing so again this year.
I love your other ideas, too! Chewy is the best IMO, and Amazon is great, too. (I also have a Prime membership.)
When our first dog, Shelby, died from lymphoma, like your Callie, our vet’s office at the time made a donation to MAF, and I’ve been making them on and off since then.
Those are some great gift ideas.
Don’t worry, Cricket … I can’t believe you’d ever be naughty … now the other two …. 😉
Trust me, they all take their turns! 🙂
Cool stuff and we do love shopping!
That’s a list of great options for gift giving. I’ve thought about Amazon prime, but it may tempt me to buy too much stuff if I always get free shipping!
I can’t say you’re wrong there. I think our mail lady hates me for the number of packages we have coming from amazon! 🙂
What a nice list! We give big paws up to Chewy.
Rye is getting signed up for obedience 1 at our training center as her Christmas present. Barley’s favorite present is one that only Mother Nature can give her–thankfully we got a little of that today 😉 I love Cricket’s naughty picture!
We’ve gotten two small snow storms this last week, and a bigger one coming tomorrow. I wonder if that’s coming from your direction? If so, it’s nice of Barley to share. 🙂 The crew is definitely happy about it!
I need to shop at Marshall’s! These are some great ideas. ♥
It’s become one of my new favorite stores. There’s one right by one of the grocery stores I often go to. I’m not sure if that’s a good thing or not! LOL
A great list and I love Chewy! Cute photos with the bandana
What a great list and we love Amazon Prime too especially their TV shows! Love Dolly
We haven’t tried any of their TV shows yet, we’ll definitely have to check them out!
We ???? TJ Maxx-they have some of the best deals for stocking stuffers! Love those bandanas. Made me smile as I have one nice and one naughty at the Ranch.
I love that I can switch the bandana around – since they all have their moments. 🙂
And some a few more of one than the other! ????
So true!! 🙂
You sure have us a good idea for a gift
Snorts,
Lily & Edward
Thanks for sharing about the Dog Sports Academy! That sounds like just what we need for our crazy dog Layla 🙂
You’re welcome! Fenzi has so many classes to choose from, I can’t even decide what one we’re going to take next!
Right now we have so many things it is hard to think of what else we need. Treats are always good and we too order almost everything from Chewy.com
I love the snowman!!! and I wonder what fankie&ernie would say when they see this big snow-guy :o)
