By Rosetta Crane


Many families all over the world are enriched by the presence of their beloved pets, and actually see them as family members more than pets. Many people love to care for, play with and spoil their dogs, especially on special occasions, just like they would for a human family member. One great way to show love an affection for dogs is to buy them dog gift baskets. These make great gifts for friends And family members who love their pets dearly as well.

During the holiday season, this is a great way to include pets in the joy and excitement of celebration and sharing of gifts. One can make up a basket full of all sorts of treats and toys from the local pet store or simply buy a ready made hamper.

Some of the items that one could choose to include in these hampers are dog beds or pillows, rope toys and fluffy toys. One can also add delicious pet treats and chews such as rawhide or meat flavored chew sticks or hooves. Tennis balls usually make great toys, especially for active dogs who enjoy playing fetch.

One could even spoil these precious companions with a new collar and lead to match his or her character. Many dogs absolutely love going for walks in the neighborhood or in the park, so a new collar and lead or harness will surely be put to good use.

While toys and treats are always good option, it may also be a good idea to include some pet care products like a brush or some meat flavoured canine toothpaste. There are also different kinds of healthy dental chews and and some softer treats for keeping teeth and gums healthy, even for ageing dogs.

If you are planning to make up or buy a hamper for any of your pet, it is important to consider things like the size and age of the dog in order to get the appropriate kinds of toys and treats. Similarly, for a bed, think a out whether the dog sleeps outside or inside, as this will determine the fabric type, size and design of the bed.

When it comes to chews and treats specifically, the size and age of the dog is very important. Puppies, for instance need a lot of chew toys, whereas older dogs with more sensitive teeth may need softer treats or biscuits. Fully grown large dogs will also need larger chew toys and stronger ropes to play with.

Another great addition to these baskets is a canine sweater. There are so many different kinds of pet clothing available these days, so there will definitely be something for every occasion. Dog clothing is especially great for the colder seasons, particularly for smaller breeds who really seem to feel the effects of the elements. Whatever you decide should be in your dog gift baskets, your pets will surely be thrilled with their new treats and toys and will be kept busy and happy for hours. Most people know the personality and character of their pets so well that it should be easy to choose the perfect basket of goodies to keep these wonderful companions playful and healthy.
