There’s a downright glut of gift guides out there, but most are about what to buy your parents, spouse or kids. Few are about what to buy your pets or pet owners in your life.Â
The cool thing about buying products for cats and dogs is that you’re not only gifting the pet, you’re gifting their owners, too. What cat lover doesn’t get a thrill out of a good cat scratching board? And what dog lover isn’t happy to unwrap a toy that will keep their stir-crazy pup occupied?Â
You and your budget factor in too. What gifts can you get the cat and/or dog lovers in your life that are under $20 at Target?
Cat Wave ScratcherÂ
You know how cats are always scratching your couch and carpet? The cat owners in your life will appreciate you buying cat wave scratcher from Boots & Barkley, which, ideally, will redirect a kitty’s attention away from the furniture and onto the toy. Target sells it for $14.99.
Dog Travel Water BottleÂ
When walking or hiking with your dog, a travel-friendly dog water bottle can come in handy. And really, you should keep one on you anyway in the summer, when the heat intensifies. Get your dog-loving pal one of these dog water bottles from Boots & Barkley for $8.99 at Target.
Cat Leash and HarnessÂ
Plenty of cat owners feel bad that the only way to safely have a cat is to keep them indoors at all times. And it’s understandable. Cats have the inherent urge to be out and about in the wild. Fortunately, some cats are able to learn to get their outside fix by being walked on a leash. If you think a cat owner in your life wants to give walking their feline a shot, get this walk tether set from Boots & Barkley for $11.69 at Target.Â
Turtle Puzzle Dog Toy
Puppies, some breeds in particular, are extra active and like to be constantly occupied by tasks and interaction. If the dog owner in your life has one of these types of pups, give them the gift of giving their dog something to do that isn’t destructive. Get them the turtle puzzle dog toy from Boots & Barkley at Target for $13.49.Â
Sushi Flush Cat Toys
Poor cats usually only have access to canned or cooked food when they all love raw fish. These smiling sushi flush cat toys from Boots & Barkley for $4.49 will be fun toys for energetic felines.
Rawhide-Free Chicken Treats for Dogs Â
What’s a joyous holiday celebration for a dog without a tasty canine treat? Check out these rawhide-free chicken recipe rolls from Kindfull for $13.49. Given that this is a pricier product, the recipient is less likely to splurge on it themselves, making it a great gift.
Christmas Tree Catnip Interactive Cat Toy
Many cats (like many dogs) get bored easily and need something to occupy their mind and paws. They’d probably get a blast (and a catnip buzz) out of this Christmas tree catnip toy from Wondershop Green. And, given the Christmas theme, it’s an extra fun and festive gift for the cat owners in your life. Best of all, it’s only $5 at Target.
Cat Puzzle Feeder BallÂ
Another thing active cats may get a kick out of is this Nerf Cat puzzle feeder ball toy for $7.99 at Target. These types of interactive feeders are also helpful for cats who have a tendency to overeat, as they make the process of eating a bit maze-like.
Tuna and Salmon Cat TreatsÂ
Cats need some culinary indulgences every now and then. Add to your kitty’s stocking stuffer the Delectables Squeeze Up tuna and salmon cat treats for $2.59 at Target. Â
Dog Rope Toy
The cheapest gift on our list of the best gifts for dog lovers is the dog rope toy from Boots & Barkley, which is sold at Target for $1.79.
