6. Stocking Stuffers: Little Gifts for Added Joy

Don't forget to fill your dog’s stocking with a mix of small toys, treats, and chews for extra holiday fun! Small items like chew sticks, squeaky balls, and treat bags make excellent stocking fillers for pups of all sizes.

  • Chew Toys: Small chew toys are ideal for keeping dogs occupied while the family opens gifts.
  • Training Treats: These small treat bags fit perfectly in stockings and are perfect for quick rewards and holiday training sessions.

Tips for Choosing the Right Gift:

  1. Consider Your Dog’s Size and Play Style: Smaller dogs might prefer plush toys, while larger dogs often enjoy durable chew toys.
  2. Think About Health Needs: If your dog has dietary restrictions, look for treats with limited ingredients and avoid fillers.
  3. Opt for Longevity: For long-lasting entertainment, go with interactive feeders, puzzle toys, or tough chew toys.
