Just because pets can’t understand the concept of Christmas, it doesn’t mean they can’t be part of the big day.
Our cats and dogs are just as much a part of our families as human relatives, so it makes sense to involve them in celebrations.
If nothing else, we get to see tails wagging and hear contented purrs – even if they don’t know why they’re being spoilt with treats.
Whether you’re buying for your pet or for the animal lover in your life this Christmas, there are some seriously cute gift options available.
From toys to clothes, there’s something to make every furry friend happy, as well as presents for the proud ‘fur baby’ parent.
Admittedly, a cat will probably sit in the box it comes in while a dog will go straight for the wrapping paper, but that’s to be expected.
Once their zoomies are over, you’ll be their favourite person.
