Don't Forget Your Pets —
They Know It's Their Birthday
J
ust as we celebrate birthdays for our loved ones, many people do the same for their pets. A pet is often considered part of the family and is loved just as much. The actual birth date is often not known, but that doesn’t matter. A specific date is usually selected as a birthday and the pet (dog, cat, bird, etc.) will have that special day for a celebration.
Many single people have the pet as their only companion. Pets have also been known to prolong the life of the elderly creating in them a need to care for another living being. wikipedia PETS will give you a more intensive look at pets in general.
Dogs are probably the most common and desired pet in most parts of the world. Not only is the dog a trusted and devoted companion, but it can also defend, alert, and even save lives. Therefore there are tons of products (not just food items, but novelty gifts) that cater to dog fanciers. Etsy.com has an assortment of gifts. If you Google "gifts for pets" Amazon is also full of products.
Here are a some dog-related gifts.
This high tech product is sure to please Fido. It’s a full HD wifi driven wide-angle camera with two-way audio and is compatible with Alexa. You will be notified when it detects barking and it will send a notification to your smartphone. You
can then see what’s happening and speak to your dog, easing their
anxiety. You can also have it toss treats to your dog (even every hour)
via the free Furbo app. Get it in Canada at: amazon.ca and in the USA:
amazon.com
Do you walk around with your water bottle in case you get thirsty? Well, your canine companion also needs to drink. A product designed just for dogs now exists. amazon.ca and amazon.com
Dog bathing can be a chore. Some dogs like it and others don’t. Give your pet the spa treatment using the dog bathing glove. It makes bath time less stressful for both owner and pet. One hand controls the water flow and the process of shampooing and scrubbing, while leaving the other hand free to control the animal. The dog will love this petting and now look forward to a bath. amazon.ca and amazon.com
This is an interesting idea that just keeps on giving month after month.
It’s a subscription based site with many fun toys and treats for both
dog and owner. This box will make that tail wag every time it arrives.
BarkBox.com
Let’s not forget the dog’s sworn enemy — the cat. Yes, cat people love their cats just as much as dog people love their dogs. Gifts for your cat on their estimated birthday are also everywhere. Check out your local pet shop for toys and treats that can occupy a housebound fur baby.
One unique product available is the Cat Cave. Purchasing this product is not only a fine place for your cat to have a catnap, it also helps underprivileged woman artisans in Nepal who make these interesting handcrafted pet beds from wool. The lanolin scent of the wool attracts the cats and owners love that the wool is naturally odor resistant. Dharma Dog Karma Cat
The down side of cats is that they like to scratch to maintain their nails and that is usually on your couch. Well, the PetFusion Ultimate Cat Scratcher Lounge may solve that anxiety of cat ownership. This is a multi-surface scratcher, curved lounger and hideaway cave all in one. The cat can exercise its muscles and relieve stress. The design also acts as comfortable place to lounge. Canada: amazon.ca and amazon.com also chewy.com
From parrots, lovebirds, budgies to other exotic birds, people love to interact with this species. Although you can’t take them for a walk or play cat and mouse, a bird is still a fun pet to have.
If your bird can leave its cage you can have a grand time with this toy. You’d
be surprised how birds love to tug, poke and rattle things. The play center is
a great gift for “Polly” who will stop asking for crackers and occupy itself
with the ladders, swings, bells and toys. Canada:
amazon.ca and amazon.com
and also the USA: chewy.com
We haven’t even mentioned other pets — from snakes, turtles, reptiles, goldfish, to much larger animals like the pot belly pig or even a goat, pony or horse. They are all deserving of the occasional treat and toy — “Give ‘em what they want”!
