The Holiday season is all about spending time with those you love, 2-legged and 4-legged. Cozy fires, cups of cocoa, tail wags and lots of cookies, human and dog! The tidings of the holiday season can sometimes slip through the cracks as we make ourselves crazy searching for those perfect gifts for everyone on our lists.

Bark not, we compiled a Holiday Gift Guide, Wag Central style embracing those 4-legged friends who bring so much spunk, love and laughs to our lives. We’ve also included gift ideas for those 2-legged humans who love them.

Gifts for 4-legged Friends

Puppies
Bringing a puppy home any time of year is a gift, but can be extra magical this time of year. While puppies require lots of time, and hard work for years to come, spoiling them rotten is pretty easy to do. Here are our top gift choices for the puppy in your life:

• Planet Dog Lil’ Pup Bone – designed specifically for puppy jaws and razor teeth, these soft bones can be put in the freezer to get through those pesky teething pain.
• Planet Dog Lil’ Pup Globe Ball – also doubles as a treat ball or a way to slow feed your pup, these balls have an unpredictable bounce to keep puppy minds guessing.
• P.L.A.Y. Wobbler Toy – is your pup super food motivated? This toy will keep them busy for hours, as they use their bodies to get treats or kibble out of it’s many obstacles.
• P.L.A.Y. Treat pouch for training – since a puppy mentally develops most during 8-12 weeks, we highly recommend making learning fun with this pouch. Plenty of room for training treats, plus a squeaker means your pup will be sitting and staying in no time!
• Outward Hound Fun Feeder – if your pup can’t finish his food fast enough to the point where you are questioning how much he chewed it, a fun feeder is your answer! This product not only slows your pup’s eating but makes an interactive game of meal time.

Seniors
While we love puppies, there is certainly something to be said for that special sugar face in your life. As dogs get older, their senses slowly diminish. Toys that are brightly colored, soft in texture, and loud when interacted with, are a great way to keep your senior sharp and engaged. Here are our top gift choices for the senior dog in your life:

• Planet Dog Old Soul Bone – similar to the Lil’ Pup line, Planet Dog’s Old Soul Line is dedicated to the jaws and chompers of the older generations of dog.
• P.L.A.Y. Ornament with squeaker – spread a little holiday cheer with a squeaky ornament, 5 designs to choose from.
• Planet Dog Whistle Ball – playing fetch made easy for dogs losing their eyesight or hearing.
• West Paw Holiday Blanket – what senior dog doesn’t love a warm place to snuggle up? These blankets are fleece lined and oh so soft!
• Dental chews – keep your dog’s teeth clean with these sensitive-tummy-friendly dental chews, they come in two sizes.

Active Chewers and Destroyers
Does your dog have jaws of steel? Does every toy you buy him get destroyed in a matter of minutes? We know the frustration that is having a dog who is relentless when it comes to killing stuffies, and shredding tennis balls. We’ve hand selected the below gift ideas for just that dog.

• Earth Animal No Hides – a safe alternative to rawhides, No Hides are easily digestible and come in 4 different flavors – salmon, beef, chicken and pork.
• Antlers (split and whole) – a long lasting, safe chew that won’t make a mess of your home or your dog. Antlers leave virtually no residue, no odor and they keep your pup interested for hours.
