[Edited: 2 December 2021]

With Christmas just around the corner, everyone is so busy buying gifts for everyone in the family. As your Christmas list keeps getting longer, don’t forget your canine buddies who have stayed by your side through thick and thin, and made your days brighter and happier. There are just so many options for pet presents out there and it is no wonder why you can easily become overwhelmed when looking for the best Christmas presents your dog will surely love.

Like humans, dogs differ in their preferences when it comes to shapes, textures, sounds, and scents of toys. Some experts recommend finding a Christmas dog toy that is appropriate for your pet’s age. Puppies and younger dogs would love a softer toy especially when they’re going through the teething stage. Soft-textured toys are also better for their baby teeth which are more fragile and can easily break when chewing hard toys.

Here at perromart, we have put together a special holiday gift box for pups! Inside, you’ll find a collection of treats or spa treatments that will leave your pup well-rested and rejuvenated for the Christmas craze! Additionally, we have made a list of some great suggestions for your pet’s Christmas presents.

This can trigger the hunting instincts that they have inherited from their wild ancestors. Animal behaviorists also believe that the action of biting the ball and producing the squeaking sound lights up the brain’s pleasure center. Thus, they tend to repeat the action to experience that pleasurable feeling all over again and again. Dogs have also learned that making noises with squeaker toys make it easier to get their owners’ attention.
