3. Donate to an Animal Charity: This holiday season, consider making a donation to an animal charity in your pet’s name. It’s a great way to honor your beloved pet while helping other animals in need.
Dr. Catherine Sawula’s Suggestions
1. Clay Paw Print Kits: Capture your pet’s paw print and turn it into a treasured holiday ornament or keepsake. This is a wonderful way to preserve a memory that will last a lifetime, making it a heartfelt gift for any pet lover.
2. Matching PJs: Get cozy this Christmas with matching pajamas for you and your pet! Snuggle up and enjoy festive movie nights together.
Dr. Jessica Matta’s Favorites
1. Squeaky Toys: Every dog loves a good squeaky toy! These toys provide endless entertainment and encourage playtime, keeping your pup engaged and active.
2. Jackets: Keep your pet warm during those chilly winter walks with a stylish jacket. Not only will they look adorable, but they’ll also be comfortable in the cold weather.
3. Healthy Treats: Opt for treats that are low in fat to keep your pet’s health in check while still indulging them during the holidays.
Dr. Laura Boehler’s Recommendations
1. A Purchase from The True Hearts for Healing (Rabbit Rescue) Etsy Site: For our bunny and rodent friends, consider shopping from this lovely Etsy shop. They offer unique and thoughtful items providing your small pets with the love and care they deserve. Purchases go towards raising funds for their non-profit.
2. Bird-Safe Toys: Don’t forget about our feathered companions! Bird-safe toys are a fantastic way to keep your pet entertained and mentally stimulated. Natural parrot toys are a great choice for promoting healthy playtime and engagement.
This Christmas, let’s make it a season of giving—not just to our pets but to those in need as well. By choosing one of these doctor-recommended gifts, you’ll not only bring joy to your furry friend but also create lasting memories. Happy Holidays from all of us at Murray Animal Hospital!
