Moms aren’t the only loved ones being celebrated this month. May 3rd – 10th is National Pet Week, but save the flowers for mommy dearest. We’ve rounded up the best toys and togs to make your four-legged family member have a tail-wagging time.
1. Nylon Raincoat
Just because it’s springtime doesn’t mean you can’t keep dressing up your dog in cute coats. With April showers still lingering, a snazzy nylon or vinyl raincoat will keep your pup high and dry while he splashes around in puddles.
2. Catnip Critter
As its name suggests, cats love catnip. There’s just something about the herb that makes cats go cuckoo for it. And catnip-stuffed toys that resemble your kitty’s favorite meals, such as mice and fish, are all the more appealing.
3. Treat-Dispensing Toy
From sled-pulling huskies to sheep-herding collies, most dogs love having a job to do. Exercise your canine’s mind by filling a specially designed toy with treats, and watch in amusement as he works out how to get to them.
4. Cat Hammock
Cats spend most of their days—heck, most of their nine lives—sleeping. So if there’s one gift your feline friend will appreciate, it’s a plush hammock that will lull her into one of many cat naps.
5. Colorful Collar
Think of your dog’s collar as a piece of jewelry—her statement necklace, if you will. Sure, it needs to be sturdy, especially when squirrels are around, but it can be functional and fashionable. Try a neon one on for size, or if she’s into the mixing prints trend, a multicolored pattern will ensure she stands out from the dog park crowd.
