Happy (and Safe!) Holiday Gifts for Pets

One of the most exciting parts about holiday mornings isn’t just the exchange of gifts, but the thrill of opening the gifts themselves. Just like you look forward to receiving gifts during the holidays, your dog or cat will love getting a new toy and tearing apart its gift wrapping!

But, as always, it’s crucial to make pet health the top priority by gifting toys safely. With HuggleHounds®, you can rest assured that every toy we make adheres to top safety and manufacturing standards and provides extra durability through our Tuffut Technology®, a three-layer lining that helps even our softest toys last longer than the competition.

Below is a selection of toys for your beloved pet we know you will LOVE from our Holiday 2021 Collection, as well as tips on how to keep pets safe during the holiday season.

Holiday Safety Tips 

Now that you’ve selected the perfect gift for your pet, it’s time to wrap it! But you’re going to want to avoid certain materials that are often used for presents and holiday decorations. While wrapping paper can be safe for pets to play with or even ingest in extremely small amounts, there are some materials that should certainly be avoided around pets during the holidays.

These include:
String, ribbon, and yarn
Metal/plastic decorations or ornaments
Glitter

These materials can cause intestinal blockage if consumed by a dog or cat, which can be life-threatening. Ensure that pets are not given access to these and that all toys given to your pets are high-quality and durable.
