Whether it’s Christmas or just for the heck of it, buying gifts for your pet is always a fun experience. With the different types of gifts available, it’s always an adventure to figure out what will keep your pet happy. Here are some great ideas for treating your pet to the good life.
For furry critters like dogs and cats, toys are always a plus. They never cease to entertain and can put a smile on your face with their curiosity. Anything that makes noise usually grabs a pet’s attention, but it can also become irritating as well. Smaller toys that jingle can provide just enough entertainment, or maybe a slightly bigger toy with only one squeaker. Many squeak toys come with two squeakers, one in either end. Dogs have tendencies to get the squeakers out of the toys, so toys without squeakers are also a good idea to prevent a giant mess.
For scaly creatures like lizards and turtles, gifts are more specific. Reptiles enjoy soaking up the sun, so look into different kinds of rocks, which can be sold at a pet store. Also, consider purchasing a lamp. Lamps produce light which in turn produce heat so it’s a great way to warm the bones of your favorite cold-blooded friend. Reptiles will enjoy the stability of the rock and the warmth of the lamp. Turtles might also like a tub of water, so it would be a good idea to look at a bowl or dish to let your reptile float and swim around.
For smaller furry mammals, such as hamsters or other rodents, there are infinite possibilities. Rodents love to exercise, so consider a wheel or a ball. They’ll run around for hours and keep you laughing with their everlasting energy. Also, rodents love salt, so look into salt wheels. They’ll get their fix of salt and in turn it’ll grind down their teeth, which will dull them and not make them as long. There’s also the option of different tubing systems that the rodents can play around in. It keeps them occupied as they find their way around. Wooden chewing sticks are also a great idea, because it’ll give the rodents something to nibble on, giving them a way to let out aggression and less of a chance they’ll bite. With these ideas, you’re bound to find something to make your pet happy. Buying pet gifts will now be a breeze. Happy shopping!
