The kitties always get presents! Toys, scratchers, it depends on what they need that year. We don't get them treats because only one of them really likes treats. And we both get presents from the cats too. When we see my parents Christmas Eve, I always bring presents for their cats and dogs too, but that is off this year, of course.

Of course! That is part of our fun on Christmas watching her play with her new toys. She loves toys and especially new toys so much, we would rather give her gifts than each other.
We don’t have any little kids in the family anymore, even the the grands are older now and we don’t need or want anything, so we spoil her.

It’s usually what needs replacing like beds or chewed up toys... we don’t get crazy.

Of course! He gets a pet advent calendar from Trader Joe's and then some new toys and treats under the tree/in his stocking. I love it so much!

Yes! Our dog gets presents and a stocking. This year we got MIL's new kitten and her dog a present. DS's gf got a hamster for her bday so the hamster is getting a small gift too.
One year, DD wrapped her gift for the dog (dd was probably 8). The gift was toys. She put it under the tree and that silly dog somehow figured out that was for him and unwrapped it when she was at school. He played with the toys and when I discovered it, I had to wrap them back up before she came home. We did this for about a week before she discovered he was doing it. So, she wrapped and left them in her room instead. It was kinda funny. We love watching him open presents, he rips right in. For gift bags, he sticks his head all the way in it and often gets stuck wandering around with the bag on his head. One time, just for fun, we put unwrapped treats in some tissue in a gift bag for him (no occasion). The little stinker got his head stuck and yet managed to eat all the treats with that bag on his head! He always wants to help whoever is having a birthday open their gifts and all of us on Christmas too.

Yes! And I am going to read this thread to see if there are any great ideas for my girl kitties! We don’t do treats because one doesn’t eat them and the other can only have one kind because of her tummy. We have done toys, cat furniture...

Yes we always bought our dogs Christmas presents; lots of presents! I also buy for my neighbors/best friends dogs too. Sometimes I spend more on them than on some humans ! LOL 😂
Our dogs always loved those extra large deer antler bones which cost 50-75 each. Spoiled dogs, that’s for sure.

We don’t do a stocking or anything, but we usually do something. Last year we bought him some “good” treats instead of his usual, and also got him a stuffed friend. He liked it so much we got him a real friend a few months later. She’s a bit more work. 🤣🐶🐶

Yes. Always. Toys, new bedding, sometimes treats. In the past our pets have included cats, lizards, mice, guinea pigs, frogs, hermit crabs and fish and they all had a gift under the tree. The cats always got special food, something with turkey and cranberries in it. This is my first year as a parent to two dogs, so I've been looking at all the fun doggy stuff. All I've bought so far is an advent calendar. They will have to share, it was pricey for 24 little treats, but I haven't seen many on offer in Australia and it needed to be grain free.

Yes but nothing major, usually just a toy or two I found while shopping or ordered on sale. He’s pretty easy to please.

Of course! It is so much fun to watch them "open" their gifts. (human does it while the dogs hover)
But we used to have 4 dogs in the family to open gifts (not all mine, but in the family) and this year only 1. We lost 3 in the last year and a half. It's gonna be even sadder this year.

We did the first year we adopted her - kind of went a little crazy at Pet Smart. It's before we realized that:
1. she has no idea how to play with toys. None. Just stares at them if you try and engage her. Didn't even lick peanut butter out of a Kong. 2. her teeth are bad so chewing treats is painful - 2 surgeries later she eats softened dry food with a little bit of table scrap to tempt her nose
We believe her (older) owners fed her table scraps and let her sit around all day. Her rabies paperwork showed she left her mother and siblings at about 7 weeks, which is little young for a large breed. Her behaviors are more cat-like, so pretty sure she spent a lot of formative years with cats.

They get the expensive wet food we don’t normally buy in their stocking.

Yes. They usually get some kind of toy and some treats in their stockings that won’t make them sick or stink really bad once they’ve been chewed on for a while. If I have time I make my little dog a new fleece sweater since the commercially made ones never fit her right.
