2. Toys: Both cats and dogs enjoy new toys to stave off boredom.

3.  Beds: Nothing better than a comfortable bed, soft bed to protect your pet from cold winter floors.

4.  Leash: A new harness and leash will allow your pet to safely explore the outdoors.

5.  You: Quality time with you is the best gift.  Spend time snuggling, loving, and cuddling with your pet.

If your dog or cat has everything, consider donating or volunteering some time at a local animal shelter or rescue.  Many shelters have wish lists at this time of year.  For a list of local animal shelters and rescues, click here.
