Gibson's Dog Treats

$9.99

These all-natural treats look and smell just like bacon, and they’re grain-free, soy-free, corn-free, and sugar-free. Your dog will gobble them up quicker than you can say “wanna treat?”

Waxed Canvas Canine Tote

Credit: BARK
$270

If you travel often with your dog or cat, it’s time to upgrade your carrier to something more chic than a sherpa-lined carrier. Give your pet plenty of room to stretch out in this breathable tote. There’s even a leash clip, so Fido or Mittens can stay securely fastened.

PrettyLitter

Credit: Cooking Light
$21

Cat litter that lasts for a month sounds too good to be true, right? Well, this brand stays fresh for 30 days, is free of irritating dust, and uses color-changing technology to alert you to any health issues your kitty may be hiding. It can sense everything from UTIs to kidney problems to bladder stones, which (in our opinion) is pretty impressive for cat litter. One of our editors tried it, and found that the odor elimination was frankly astounding.

Petcube Bites Wi-Fi Pet Camera & Treat Dispenser

$224.71

Do you miss your pet when you’re gone? (Um, duh!) With this gadget, a smartphone, and Wi-Fi access, you can now video chat your fur baby in real time, and shoot treats their way. Two-way audio means you can tell them that you miss them, and hear their response in return. This is a must-have for anxious or bored pets, or for people who travel a lot.

Custom Pet Nose Print Necklace

Credit: Uncommon Goods
$210

This necklace is the ultimate gift for the crazy dog or cat mom in your life. An artist mails you an easy-to-use molding kit where you take an imprint your pet’s snout or paw (don’t worry, it’s non-toxic!) Then, in a few weeks, she sends you back your one-of-a-kind silver necklace with your pet’s name engraved on the back, so you can wear your pet close to your heart.

Bark Shop Dumpling Dog Toy

Credit: Bark Shop
$12

You may think these little dumplings are too cute to eat, but we're betting your pup will disagree! We also love the plush bucket of fried chicken, which is just as adorable as it sounds.

Bolt Interactive Laser Cat Toy

Credit: Cooking Light
$17.95

Love exercising your cats, but hate having to chase after them with a tiny laser? This battery-powered one does all the work for you, and stands on its own. It’s sturdy enough so your mischievous cat can’t tip it over, and has a manual function with different light patterns in case you want to get in on kitty playtime.

Hable Pet Stocking

Fido deserves part of the present-opening action, too! Stuff it with their favorite treats for a sweet holiday surprise (we stuffed ours with Newman's Own Peanut Butter Treats).

Cup of Cheer Dog Toy

Is this hot toddy toy adorable? Absolutely. But your pup will love it for the spiky ball inside, and the crinkly noises it makes when it moves.

Casper Dog Bed

Credit: Casper
$Starting at $125

Made by the same team as the one behind Casper mattresses, this bed is perfect for lazy canines. It's got nearly 1,400 5-star reviews—probably because the bed is dig-proof, shred-proof, and bolstered with super-comfy foam. Oh, and Casper has a generous 100-day return policy in case your pup doesn't absolutely love their new bed.
