Pet Present Extravaganza
New Year of Gifts: Doggie Driver
If getting fit is a petsolution in your family, and someone else has already clamored for doggie walk duties, let another family member get doggie driver responsibilities. Brookstone's new Doggie Driver ($29.95) works like a golf club, while also throwing a tennis ball up to 300 feet. Have pooch sit and wait at a safe distance while you work on your follow through, his doggie instincts take over as he fetches it back, and then the modified golf club even snaps up the ball for you, saving your swing hand from slobber.
New Year of Gifts: Wild Calendars
Ever since I could tell May from June, my mom would let me choose a new calendar for Christmas each year. Not surprisingly, almost every time they featured some sort of animal. To kick off the month of January, here are some super-cute calendar ideas to add to your home or office.
New Year of Gifts: Treat of the Month Club
There are bunches of pet barkeries, bakeries, and bake shops that will ship treats straight to your lucky pooches . . .
New Year of Gifts: Instinctive Cats
The holiday gift giving season may be near over, but your favorite feline still deserves some treats! If you happen to have a frisky, instinctive cat — or know someone that does — you can never go wrong with toys that spark playful fun and a little exercise.
I love the Fling-ama-String, a $25 battery-operated cat toy that aims to improve "paw eye coordination" and keep your cat on the move.
Pet-Present Extravaganza: Kiehl's For Canines
It looks like Juicy isn't the only trendy human brand that's created a line of luxurious pet body products. I was doing some shopping for my nonfurry friends and noticed that Kiehl's has a whole selection of cleansers specially formulated for dogs.
Apparently the line was created to remove dirt, debris, and odor, but is soap free, which means it's perfect for pups with sensitive fur.
Pet Present Extravaganza: Pillows For Animal Lovers
Gone are the days of cross-stitched, kitty-cat pillows that look like they were handmade by your Auntie Sue and born is a new breed of chic animal pillows that appeal to pet lovers, children and design aficionados.
How can you not adore the soft and cuddly pals by Areaware? They are made of organic cotton in fanciful colors and come in gorilla, bunny, terrier, zebra, and penguin shapes for $28.
Pet Present Extravaganza: Heavy Chewers
Chewing is a natural habit for dogs. It not only relieves the pain of teething, but it also cleans teeth, gums, and releases endorphins when your pet is anxious or upset.
If you have a super-chewer on your hands — one that tears through his toys as soon as he gets his paws on them and is constantly gnawing on one thing or another (including your favorite pair of peep toe pumps) — I have some great gift ideas for you.
Last Minute Gift Giving: L.L. Bean
L.L. Bean stocked up on new products just in time for the holiday season – as long as you order by Dec. 21, they'll make for happy Christmas morning pups.
Pet Present Extravaganza: For Fishies
While it's generally a good idea to get a big tank to give fish plenty of room to swim about, some species like the Betta need less water than others. The minimum amount of recommended water for these colorful creatures is one-gallon-per-one-inch of fish. Keep in mind that, if you are keeping your Betta in a small tank or bowl (especially one without a tank or filter), you will need to change the water every few days while adjusting it to room temperature before adding fish.
Pet Present Extravaganza: Patches' Pinot
If you're stopping by a holiday party at the home of a dog lover, consider toting a bottle of Dog House wine as a tail-wagging good gift. The Napa-based winery offers five different wines on this label: Patches' Pinot Grigio, Zeke's Zinfandel, Charlie's Chard, Maxie's Merlot, and Checkers' Cab. As an additional bonus Dog House Wines donates fifty cents for each purchased bottle to Guide Dogs for the Blind, an organization that provides guide dogs and training free of charge to the blind and visually impaired.
