Shopping for your dog or for the dog lover in your life can be lots of fun at this time of year. The pet products industry is offering a plethora of doggy oriented items perfect for pets and the people who love them.
Christmas Sticks: Dogs love sticks, but a piece of wood that will splinter and break in your dog’s mouth is not the safest fetch toy. Enter DOOG, which stands for Dog Owners Outdoor Gear, a company that is offering four seasonal stick-shaped dog toys for this Christmas. Called Christmas Sticks, each toy stick comes as a funny Christmas-y character: Twigfoot, Sticklaus, Rudy and Elfstick. Made from recycled rubber, the toys glow in the dark and float in the water and are designed for fetching (but not extended chewing). (doogusa.com)
Bag Balm Pet: Yes, dogs need skin care too, especially in the wintertime. Vermont’s Original is producing Bag Balm Pet, with products designed to sooth dry, cracked noses and paws. Containing only four ingredients, people can use the product too to help with chapped lips and hands. Bag Balm comes in decorative 4- and 8-oz. tins, as well as a portable tube and a 4.5-lb. pail.

Dog Sweaters: Dogs with short hair need help staying warm during the holidays, and what better way to do it than with a cute, 100-percent wool wintery sweater? Chilly Dog is offering the Black Snowflake Dog Sweater as one of its Nordic dog sweater designs. The sweater is made following the Fair Trade guidelines, and is hand-knit in South America. Available in eight different sizes, from XXS to XXXL, the sweater is suitable for all breeds and sizes. (chillydogsweaters.com)
