Santa Claws will be arriving soon, and if you’re wondering what to put under the tree for the pets in your life, look no further. We’ve done the research and have some great gift ideas to help you unleash holiday cheer for all your furry friends. We’ve included a variety of items to fit most budgets, so be sure to spend wisely and within your means as you fetch your holiday gifts!

Toys and entertainment

• Interactive toys: Puzzle feeders and laser pointers are great gifts to keep your pets mentally stimulated. 
• Chew toys: For dogs, durable chew toys can be a great gift. Many newer products are rated durable enough for the most aggressive chewers.
• Catnip toys: Cats love catnip-filled toys, which can provide hours of entertainment — both for the cats and the people who get to watch them enjoy their toys!

Comfort and care

• Cozy beds: Plush, comfy beds and heated mats keep pets cozy and warm during the winter.
• Grooming kits: A set of grooming tools, including brushes and nail clippers, is a very thoughtful gift. 
• Pet clothing: Sweaters, jackets, and booties can help keep pets warm and stylish while decking the paws. 

Health and wellness

• Healthy treats: Treats made from natural ingredients are never a bad idea — and as an added bonus, Lincoln has several independent dog bakeries who can fulfill that need!
• Dental care: Dental chews and toothbrush kits help keep pets’ teeth clean and healthy.

Tech gadgets

• Pet cameras: The perfect gift for pet owners who want to keep an eye on their pets while they’re away! 
• Automatic feeders: These handy devices dispense food at scheduled times, giving pets the food they need throughout the day.
• GPS trackers: Know a pup who’s an accomplished escape artist? Gift a collar with GPS tracking to ensure he can’t make a run for it. 

Subscription boxes

• Monthly boxes: Treat your favorite furry friend(s) to a subscription service that delivers a variety of toys, treats, and accessories each month.

Special experiences

• Pet spa day: Gift certificates for grooming or spa services are always appreciated. Find out where your special pup goes locally and purchase a gift card!
• Dog bars: Buy your favorite pup a gift card to one of our local dog bars!
• Training classes: Vouchers for obedience or agility classes are a great gift for family and friends with new pets. 

Charitable gifts

• Donations: Donate to local animal shelters or rescue organizations in a loved one’s pet’s name. 

Whatever gift you choose for your pets, grandpets, or friends’ pets, just know for certain that anything given from the heart is the best way to go. Make sure you give them plenty of holiday snuggles and chin scritches, too!
