  1. Deveros Pet Collars would be awesome to try. I am impressed it is natural. I am also impressed by hos it looks- so pretty!

  2. We would like the WooPet Pet Food Feeding Mat. We have two cats and one of them is really messy with both her wet food and her dry kibble. These mats would save us so much cleaning time. The vinyl mat we use is comfortable to step on but is not easy to clean. We would put one perhaps two feeding mats down on top of the vinyl mat to keep it cleaner.

  3. The Derevos pet collars look awesome! I would greatly prefer to put one of these on my dog than the waxy powdery and stinky ones.

  4. These are great ideas! I never thought of a Pet First Aid Kit... I will have to pick one up and keep it in the office (we have a pet friendly policy). Thanks!

    Reply
  5. That pet first aid kit is a great idea. I'm a nurse and try to have first aid kits for humans, stashed everywhere. I do have a little booklet on pet first aid I can include too. It's best to be prepared and easier to buy a ready made kit like this.

  6. I love the Derevos pet collars!! What a stylish way to protect your pets from pests! I also love the food mat. Food and water spills are common.

  7. I really like your collection. I always buy my sister's dog a Christmas present and like having new things to choose from...hadn't thought of or seen a pet first aid kit before and I think that's a great idea for a gift.

  8. I love that you include a pet category! For so many, their pets are their best friends. We adore our cats and do our share to adopt from shelters! I love the mat and would like to try it since my boys are messy eaters!

    Also the new cat food is great, lots of vitamins that would benefit my cat.

  10. A pet first aid kit is a good idea, my neighbors threw a beer bottle in my yard it landed on my basketball court and broke, the next day my dog got a nasty cut on her foot! I would love to have one.

    Reply
  11. I love the Deveros Pet Collars! How have I never heard of these before?!?!? They would be great for our area because we have tick and flea infestations at least a few times a year!

    for the dog.

  13. It's nice to see you didn't forget our four legged friends. They are the only ones recieving gifts this year from me. You missed birds and I didn't see cat items too.

    Reply
  14. I've put together my own pet first aid kuts in the past, getting one already stocked and in a better container than a ziploc bag would be fantastic. Thinking of getting an extra to keep in the car since my husband's service dog travels everywhere with us.

  15. Two things we love are a portable water bottle, which is especially good for vacationing with your pup, and a life jacket, which is cute and comes in handy when you want to take your dog on a boat ride!!

    Reply
  16. In the Pet category, I like the WooPet! Pet Food Mat – Premium Silicone Food Safe Cat or Dog Feeding Mat. My two cats make a lot of mess when they eat!

    Reply
  17. The Wox Dog Toy would be great for our dog--thanks for the suggestion. I'm always looking for toys that he can't chew to bits. Any other ideas for things for tough-chewing dogs would be much appreciated!

    Reply
  18. I especially like the WooPet! Pet Food Mat – Premium Silicone Food Safe Cat or Dog Feeding Mat. I love the idea of the food gets trapped if it spills out of the bowls.

    Reply
  19. WOW! Things have come a long way for our furry friends and I am so HAPPY!! My pets will have more luxuries than us! I am glad that you brought the first aid kit to my attention! Than you! This I will have to get!

  20. Hmmm never would have thought of a pet first aid kit,what a good idea.I think also for cat lovers there are now some artistic cat posts available,they look more like a piece of furniture,scratching posts can be a godsend 🙂 Ohh can't forget the treats too!!

    Reply
  21. I didn't know there was such a thing as a pet first aid kit, and I have always had pets. Now that I know I'll have to get one.

    Reply
  22. The pet first aid kit would come in handy!! My 2 are always running their pads off chasing balls, squirrels, plastic bags, leaves, pretty much anything that moves!!! And they always come back itchy and smiling like goof balls!!

    Reply
  23. I love the Molly Mutt Duvet covers. It would make cleaning the dog bed so much easier when you can just remove the cover and clean it.

    Reply
  24. WooPet! Pet Food Mat would be a great choice for me, because my cat makes a mess on the floor everytime I feed him wet food. This would make it a lot easier to clean up after him!

  25. I really need this : WooPet! Pet Food Mat – Premium Silicone Food Safe Cat or Dog Feeding Mat
    My puppy leaves such a mess around her bowls!!

    Reply
  26. I would love to have one of the Molly Mutt Duvet Covers. I love if it is like other duvets and you can take it off to wash?I love my dog but not a stinky bed!! I will be checking back for a review. Thanks 🙂

    Reply
  27. love the Pet Food Mat - my cats always make such a big mess with their food everyday, they like to throw food out of the bowl and all around the floor and one of my other cat loves to throw lots of the dry food into the water to make his food mushy then i find him trying to scoop the mushy food out to eat lol.

    Reply
  28. I would love the WooPet! Pet Food Mat – Premium Silicone Food Safe Cat or Dog Feeding Mat because it traps the spills on the mat! Yay!

    Reply
  29. The Pet First Aid kit! I have one & yes we have had to used it. Every pet owner should have one. We have 4 pups plus we babysit pups. Plus 2 cats & we foster the odd kitten for a friend who works for a rescue in Calgary. Living just outside Calgary we have a huge yard & a lot of place to go off leash walks. Just like we can have accidents so can our pets. So have an emergency kit for them is really something to think about. Running full speed in the woods you never know when a paw gets a cut. And those bleed So having something on hand as you make your way to the Vet is very necessary. In our experience 🙂

    Reply
  30. I like the pet food feeding mat. I, myself, use a placemat to keep my cat's food from ending up on the floor. Doesn't work too well. This mat looks large enough to do the job. Plus, it doesn't look so strange like I dropped my placemat on the floor and forgot to pick it up.

    Reply
  31. The WooPet pet food mat would be very helpful. The stains I have from food and liquid spilling over and not noticed till much later. This is such a nice idea, very practical and useful for me.

    Reply
  32. Wow, a pet first aid kit....what a great idea. It would be a good gift for the person who has a pet and is hard to shop for....and I know a few of those people.

    Reply
  33. These are some great ideas. I look forward to seeing what gets added. Hints: I have a boxer cross who goes through toys like there's no tomorrow. I have an elderly prim Queen of the Universe cat who thinks mouse is gourmet food. My furry gift giving list includes finding treats for fussy Maine coones, allergy suffering boxer/lab, and gluten intolerant lab/retriever.

  34. I love the Molly Mutt duvet covers! I've been on the lookout for something plush and comfy that my puppy can lay on. This is perfect, thanks for sharing ?

  35. (Powered by Mom’s 2016 Holiday Gift Guide for Pets!) These are some gifts to remember to buy for those fury lovable pets of us for the upcoming holidays.

  36. I am loving the Premium Silicone Food Safe Cat or Dog Feeding Mat! I have 2 big messy dogs that every time they eat food winds up under the washer and dryer and is a real pain to clean up. This is the perfect solution 🙂

    Reply
  37. My dogs need Santa to bring them a Woo Pet Food Mat -- they are the messiest drinkers, there is always a stream of water on the floor by their bowl. This mat is exactly what they need!

    Reply
  38. I love the idea of a Pet First Aid Kit. My new puppy is very adventurous and is always getting bumps and scrapes, and I am always concerned finding good first aid products that are good for dogs. This would ease my mind.

    Reply
  39. I love the dog bed. I also like the pet first aid, but I would hate to have to use it. My vet is less than a mile form my house.

    Reply
  40. The pet first aid is my favorite. I have two dogs and a cat. Thus would come in very handy in my house, and a spare for my car for when we go on long trips.

    Reply
  41. Great ideas here. I'd like to find something like the WooPet! Pet Food Mat for our great dane and her water. She spills all the time.

    Reply
  42. I like the pillows the most, but I know it will be another fight between my kitty and my pup over who gets all of them...I know who will win!

    Reply
  43. I love the Pet First Aid! I never heard of one for pets and this is such a great idea, especially for those of us who take our pets with us all the time on the road. You never know when your pet or someone else's might need some first aid.

    Reply
  44. I think the pet placemat is great, I love that it is easy to clean. My baby is such a messy eater and there is nothing worse than stepping on a little piece of dog kibble with no shoes on.

    Reply
  45. Lots of great ideas! I like those pets mats the best though! ! i will be pet sitting my mom's dog for 6 weeks starting right after Christmas! And I swear when she drinks water she must spill more on the floor than she gets in her mouth! Lol i still love her anyway. .but one of those would really come in handy!

    Reply
  46. What a good idea to have a pet emergency kit!! I mean I keep an extra dog bowl, for water or food& a leash for our pets - it only makes sense that I would carry an important item as this!!

    Reply
  47. i like the pet food feeding mat. i have something similar for under the litter pan, but they still make their messes don't they?

    Reply
  50. What is in the First Aid Kit. That is something I would be interested in. When I read it, It said 20 pieces for a small dog. Just what are those 20 pieces???? It should give more detail.

    Reply
  51. I think these are all great ideas for a wonderful gift for our furry family members, I do like that there is a first aid for
    pets here.

  53. I really love the Molly Mutt Duvet Cover Pet Bed. They're so fun looking. I know my dog AND cat would absolutely love one. I've actually been looking at them for a while, as i've seen quite a few posts about them in the past. The quality of the beds seem to be great, which is really important to me!

    Looking forward to seeing what other fun pet products get added to the holiday gift guide. 🙂

    Reply
  54. The Molly Mutt bed sounds great. I wear sweats a lot - I'm involved in animal rescue and have 3 dogs and 3 cats of our own to take care of, so I dress comfortably. However, they do wear out and I hate throwing them away. This would be a great way to get additional use from my old sweats. I know my dogs would love these beds.

  55. I love all of these gift ideas but I mostly love the Molly Mutt Duvet Cover for sure! Looks like an amazing gift for my furry friend 🙂 Thanks for sharing... Ia m going to check them out for myself!

  60. Aww, comfy looking nap bed. We need to show our cats extra love! They love beds, but I'm a bit nervous they might scratch the plush pillow one to pieces. 😉
