Christmas Gifts for the Dogs

11/28/2015

Every year I do a little something to include my dogs in the holiday; Holidays are about family, and our dogs are a cherished part of our family! This year our family will grow by one, we are expecting our daughter to be here anytime now. With a new addition to the family that will take a lot of attention I went ALL out on the dogs!

I was originally planning on just getting the dogs a couple more expensive chews that they don't get often like pig ears, duck feet, cow ears, paragon dental chews, etc, two or three new toys, and some dentastix... then I found this website. This website has things MUCH cheaper than you can find either in store or at amazon, their clearance under $4 section is HUGE!

 Originally I had planned on just getting enough to fill the dogs stockings, one for Nina and one for Shadow, but the website I ordered off of offers free shipping for orders over $99 and once I hit $68 I wanted the free shipping!

The cost for what I originally planned to buy off Amazon was around $69. I spent $39 more than originally planned and got: 11 extra toys, 4 extra bags of treats, 12 extra packs of chews, 20 extra treats (ears, hooves, feet).

I'll admit, I went a little overboard... but with the new baby on the way I wanted plenty of distractions for the pooches and I don't think I'll be buying anymore toys until next Christmas!


According to Huffingtonpost over half of all pet owners buy Christmas gifts for their pets, spending on average $46. The article isn't very clear on whether that $46 is per pet or all inclusive.

TheDailyMail's said that 95% of those surveyed by Rover admitted to buying their pets gifts, spending on average $36 per pet.

... yes, I went over at $54 per dog but with the baby coming they should have extra distractions gifts this year!


NOTE: This is NOT a recommendation for that website, I am not affiliated with them in any way and I JUST placed my order with them for the first time. I will update this post with a review once I get my items but I have not used them before so please don't take this post as me recommending them just yet!
