2024 Top Holiday Gifts for Dogs

Our pets are undeniably a part of our family and it’s very common for dog owners to consider a holiday gift for their furry companion.

While considering a gift for your dog, think about their age, safety, and don’t forget to take your own needs under consideration.  While puppies may simply require a strong chew toy, a young dog may end up playing with their squeaky toy while you are trying to participate in an at-home Zoom meeting. While generally, pet toys are safe, they are not exactly the same. Here are some gift ideas our customers love:

1. Keep your dogs active with these fetch toys

  • Glow-in-the-dark ball gives off a bright, long-lasting glow for fetch in the dark.
  • Easily charges under a bright light without the need for any batteries or cords.

  • Made from a durable, easy-to-clean rubber and proprietary glow pigment.
  • Texture and size is easy for your dog to grip; compatible with the medium Chuckit!
