Did Your Pets Travel This Season?

Sadly my pooch didn't get to go on any vacays this Christmas, and he didn't even get a nifty souvenir either, sooo neglected. (Yeah, right.) He had a great time at Pet Camp making friends, running around, and simply looking adorable.

Whether you just got back, are still away, or never left home this holiday season, did you go bye bye with your furry friends, snuggle up together . . . or did they stay elsewhere instead? Oh, and don't forget to lemme know how it went, too, in your comments below!

Could Your Pets Pick Out Their Presents From the Pile?

When faced with a few pressies at a time, North totally zoned in on one - I bet he smelled his favorite P-Nuttier peanut butter treats inside! If your pets are present-opening pros like mine, can they tell which treats are meant for them to open and which are for the two-legged family members in your household?

Where Will Your Pets Be on Christmas Morning?

Going home for the holidays gets a little tricky when you're the parent of a pet of any kind. While some small animals like rabbits, birds, fish, and hamsters are fine on their own for a night or two (assuming you have an autofeeder set up), larger creatures like cats and dogs require more attention, special housing, or a caretaker when you're away.

London Zoo Animals Get Early Christmas Presents!

What do you get the zoo animal that has everything? More snacks, of course. Instead of just serving up special treats in a standard dish, keepers at the London Zoo created presents stuffed with yummy goodness. Mealworms, locusts and other grubs were served up as grub for Coatis and Meerkats and what a cute photo opportunity resulted.

Talk about diving in headfirst, see more pictures of the holiday joy when you read more.

Candy Cane Sweater: Spoiled Sweet or Spoiled Rotten?

PetSugar — Mon, 21 Dec 2009 10:00:21 -0800

I've got visions of sugarplums all in my head! Now I'm not sure how that would translate to a sweater but the equally sweet, but still stylishly seasonal, striped candy looks superb on this turtleneck.

While the Candy Cane Sweater ($29) is cozy and cute, do you think it looks too Christmasy to be a practical purchase for your furballs to sport year-round?

OK, it's a little late to order a present online for shipping in time for the holidays but what's a procrastinating pet lover to do? Give a gift that keeps on giving. Treat of the month clubs keep dogs full of snacks and show you care . . . over and over and over again. I've picked out five clubs with six-month packages and a wide variety of flavors for even picky puppy palates as a last-minute Merry Etsy-mas addition.

3 Dogs & a Chick offers 1.5 lbs. of treats a month in their Treat of the Month Club ($85 for six months) seen at right.
