At this time of year, it can be easy to get caught up in the frenzy of sales and the fun of shopping. I’m guilty of going crazy with buying gifts for Delia for Christmas, and now that we have Chewy, I could really go nuts with the gifts.

One of my favorite blogs, Kol’s Notes, is hosting the 4 Gifts for Pets Blog Hop, based on the premise of simplifying the holidays by sticking with a four gift rule. A gift they want, a gift they need, a gift to wear, and a gift to eat (or read depending on the recipient’s likes.)

Want

What do Delia and Chewy always want? Toys! We’re fans of Pride Bites toys. These toys are tough, machine washable, and customizable. We visited Third Man Records when we were in Nashville for the BlogPaws conference and had a great time. Third Man Records founder Jack White is one of my favorite musicians, so I may want this particular toy more than they do, but I can’t wait to see what they do with it.

7″ diameter plush and squeaky pet toy made by Pride Bites available for purchase at http://thirdmanstore.com.

Wear

The Kurgo Tru-Fit Smart Harness. (affiliate link) This could double as a wear and a need. Chewy wears his harness every day. It keeps him safe and gives me peace of mind in our travels. Read our review of the Kurgo Tru-
Fit Harness.

Need

Identification. It is so important that dogs wear identification. An id tag or collar won’t prevent a pet from getting lost, but is a great tool in helping a lost pet find its way home. Just this week, I’ve found two lost dogs that I was able to return to their homes because of id tags. I got both Delia and Chewy’s ids from Dog Tag Art. Dog Tag Art offers several tags to fit your pet’s personality as well as a Virtual Leash, which offers an added resource to track your lost pet.

Eat

Chewy and Delia LOVE Barkworthies Sweet Potato Chews. They recently received a bag to try for review and they are both hooked. I have to hide the bag. They are USA made in California, with no preservatives or fillers. It can be hard to find a healthy treat that BOTH Delia and Chewy like, so I had to include these in this post.
