Santa always brings our pets treats in their stockings. We do not buy them individual toys, clothes, or bedding type things. What type of things do your pets get for Christmas?

What can I do next?

I used to wrap unpackaged treats in paper for the dog and unpackaged catnip for the cat and watch them go crazy trying to get at it.

just for fun 2 years ago, my daughter & I baked dog treats in the shape of a bone for the myriad chihuahuas in the fam. Put them in dollar store tins & I think they were enjoyed; I believe one niece said the dogs liked them. Certainly looked cute.

Tried to make some tuna cat treats but the recipe was a flop. lol

Our 2 kitties don't get any more toys unless they start learning how to put them back in their basket. :) Under the tree they will find BOWS on presents. Every single year people can tell exactly which presents came from us because our cats bite and chew them. They will probably get a tiny piece of roast beef from the table though. :)

answers from Jacksonville on

She won't find anything under the tree. But she has her own stocking and usually she stares at it when it gets stuffed on Christmas Eve after everyone else is in bed.

She usually gets some liver treats, a new bone (not rawhide but real cow bone), and some sort of stuffed squeak toy character. And new frisbees once in a while (I usually just put those in the closet though, b/c they come from Old Navy and the kids know that). One year her stuffed toy was a blue fuzzy gorilla that looks sort of like the abominable snow monster from the animated Rudolph. Last year it was a monkey with really long arms and legs and a Santa hat. She knows it by name (the monkey), lol.
When her stocking is stuffed, the animal sticks out of the top so it can "see" out... hahahah and she will sit right down in front of the fireplace, in a perfect "sit" and stare up at it, then turn her head slowly towards the back and look longingly at me (as if to say: "do I REALLLLYYYYY have to wait until morning?")

Dog bones
This year, one dog is in dire need of a new bed. She will get it. :)
A new ball?
Then as always: love & hugs.

p.s. They'd get toys if they played w/them.

answers from Savannah on

Already have my cat's toys. I bought one of those pet stockings last year and she only "needed" a couple of the toys (there were a lot!). This year I'll give her some more from that stocking (a catnip mouse, a ball with a bell in it, etc). I'll get her a pouch of her favorite treats and call it a day.
My dog: she's a new dog so she's got her igloo style doghouse and a nice new bed, some tennis balls, new leashes and collar, and a couple rope toys (she destroys any other toys in minutes, no matter what the package says about being for big dogs).....so for Christmas she'll just get some jumbones and a pig ear, and maybe one of those stick things that holds the ball so you can throw it without getting your hand slobby. :) She likes treats and is more of a "catch, fetch, run the beach, and wrestle" kind of dog.

Peanut Butter Flavored Raw Hide bones. But, my dogs get a new toy every month! They LOVE the giant rawhide bones and other simmilar dog toys/treats. I also stock up on dog toys when they go on sale at PetSmart or Pet Co!

Kali (dog) will be getting a new bed. She will also get a new rope toy. Those are the only ones she can't /won't tear up. I've tried every brand of kong toy but she destroys them. She is a 100lb. American Bulldog with the jaws to match. The biggest sweetie I've ever met as well.

Tweezer (cat) will be getting a pack of tennis balls. He carries them around in his mouth and drops them at your feet to play catch. Its obvious he's been raised around a dog. Hilarious!
