What’s Santa Bringing Your Fur Baby?

Your furry four-legged family member is no exception to Santa’s Naughty and Nice list. Of course Santa knows if your puppy or kitty has been good this year! He also knows it can be exponentially harder for your pet to be good all year long. He tends to lower the bar on the nice list for these particular species, you know. 

So, with so many gift options to choose from, how does Santa what to bring? That Santa magic makes it all possible! He knows what’s best for your dog or cat. Let’s pull back the curtain at the North Pole and figure out what Santa knows… just in case you need to make extra preparation for the Big Guy’s arrival this weekend.

FOR THE DOGS 

Santa has a certain soft spot for dogs. Those adorable looks. Their undying love and loyalty. It’s easy to see why your doggo is a sure-win candidate for the Nice list.

Santa knows dogs love chew toys! He also knows there are certain chew toys better for dogs than others. Santa is a big believer in the ‘thumbnail rule.’ If the toy is too hard to push your thumbnail into, it’s too tough for your doggo to chew on and is liable to break your canine’s teeth and cause some serious pain. Sturdy rubber chew toys are typically Santa’s go-to for a pup – they provide the perfect balance of joy, and lack of mess to clean up after. 

Doggie treats are an especially great stocking stuffer too. What better time of year to spoil that puppy just a bit! 

FOR THE CATS

Just like dogs, Santa sees the best in your kitty too. Their curiosity and independence hold a special place in St. Nick’s heart.

Santa may have an inkling what kind of cat personality you have in your household. With that in mind, he could be bringing some great toy options for your cat to chase. Small toy mice and rubber balls are in great supply this year. Or, do you have a more, say, ‘casual’ feline – a less active kitty who enjoys a nice fluffy bed and the companionship of a warm cozy blanket? Santa knows food treats are a good go-to, and even can create an opportunity for a chase game for your more lethargic feline family. 

And of course, Santa is a keen observer of your kitten’s play habits. He knows to work smarter and not harder. Sometimes, the perfect gift for that curious feline of yours is hiding in plain sight on Christmas morning. Christmas gift bags and boxes provide a special opportunity for a festive wonderland of adventure – perfect for Christmastime fun.

No matter what Santa brings your furry family members this weekend, we’re excited you’ll get to spend some quality time with them and they with you! What better gift to have this Christmas season than your companionship?
