1. Eco Friendly Pet Hair Removal Lint Brush
etsy.com $15
Every pet owner struggles with the abundance of fur that covers every surface of their home, and at times, their clothing. As someone who has tried a bunch of pet hair remover brushes and tools, this one is by far the nicest looking and one of the most effective (the Chom Chom roller is also amazing and worth every penny). I love the minimalist design (comes in 3 colors) and the fact that it’s made from recycled materials. It uses static to attract fur and has a self-cleaning housing (and no tape rolls to throw away and buy over and over again).
2. Pet House Odor Eliminator Candle
amazon.com $22
Every pet owner knows the constant struggle of dealing with pet messes and scents. This 100% natural soy wax odor eliminator candle is made with a tested and proven odor neutralizer and specially formulated to freshen pet-loving homes. It effectively removes the unpleasant smells and unwanted odors leaving your home smelling clean and fresh, with a total burn time of 60 hours. It comes in over 10 different scents to match your recipients preferences.
3. Custom Dog Ears Tee/Sweatshirt/Hoodie
etsy.com $15+
These cute but subtle t-shirts, sweatshirts and hoodies come in a variety of colors and let your gift recipient show off how much they love their furbaby in comfort.
4. Precious Pet Paw Print Kit
etsy.com $22
Capture a pet’s memory in a special way with this inkless paw print kit. This simple little paw print captures the details of your pet’s paws and brings back thousands of memories. The inkless kit comes with everything you need to capture paw prints mess-free, including instructions on how to take the prints. No ink — no mess. This ships from the UK, so it won’t get here in time for Christmas, but you could give your recipient a printout photo of the kit in a card to let them know it’s coming their way soon.
5. Petmaker Cat Activity Center
amazon.com $21
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a pet parent in possession of a curious cat, must be in want of a fancy toy to keep it occupied and happy. This activity center may look like it’s for human babies, but cats of all ages will get a kick out of it. It features 4 hanging toys and a polyester fleece mat for relaxing. It measures 22” L X 22” W x 14.5” H, and it’s collapsible to a convenient size for space-saving storage or for travel.
6. Yuchiya Dog Poop Bag Dispenser With Flashlight
amazon.com $8
Make picking up Fido’s stinky bizness a little easier with this hands-free bag dispenser + flashlight. The handle design at the back and 2 hook and loop fasteners make attaching it to the leash and using the flashlight hands-free a breeze, and also lets you hang the used poop bags to the holder, so you don’t have to hold it in your hands (ewww…) while you find a trashcan. The holder comes with a roll of the leak-proof, lavender-scented bags that tear off single-handedly. Choose from 4 colors.
7. Custom Pet Portraits
etsy.com $28+
Any pet owner would love to have a fancy image of their beloved family member hanging on their wall. Choose from 4 sizes and 6 finished work options — from wood-framed to stretched canvas to canvas texture paper to a digital download. You can also add text (like the pet’s name) to the finished artwork.
8. Custom Pet Pillow
etsy.com $30+
For pet-obsessed peeps, this custom handmade pet pillow is a sure winner. It is made in the USA by a small biz using ecologically-safe transfer sublimation inks that provide vibrant color and strong wash durability. Choose from 7 sizes, 3 different materials (Eco Canvas, Minky, or Velvet), and even a double-sided option. Perfect for college kids who miss the family furbaby while on campus.
9. PetStages Purr Pillow Kitty Soothing Plush Cat Toy
amazon.com $12
This plush toy is designed for cats to provide both fun play and soothing snuggles. These cuddly toys are great companions for cats who are anxious or stressed. It has a familiar, comforting purr mechanism that is easily activated by squeezing and lasts 2 minutes before turning off automatically.
10. PetCube Cam Indoor Pet Security Camera
amazon.com $30
Being away from your pets, whether for just a few hours or for a few days, can be anxiety-inducing. Not to mention that you just miss their cute little faces. The Pet Cube cam makes it a little easier. The 1080p HD video with 30-feet night vision allows your recipient to check on their pet and home anytime with full HD live streaming video, 110° wide-angle view, and clear night vision. They get real-time alerts & smooth 2-way audio to ease their pet’s separation anxiety by speaking with them (and hearing them bark or meow back!). Pet parents get a video history and downloads to keep precious memories – with the optional subscription service, Petcube Care, they can replay up to 90 days of activity and save their favorite moments. Even better, it’s just a quick 1-minute set-up – no tech skills necessary.
