8. Sniff Diggy™ Nose Work Mat

The Sniff Diggy™ Nose Work Mat looks like some kind of weird shag rug, but it’s actually hours of fun for your super sniffing dog. All you have to do is sprinkle some treats in the fabric. Your pup will go nuts sniffing and snuffling to find every crumb. It’s a great game for when bad weather keeps you inside or you need to exercise your dog’s brain.

9. Golden Yak™ Himalayan Chewsspoil your dog this holiday

Bones are okay (as long as you know which ones are safe), and treats like bully sticks are all right, but these Golden Yak™ Himalayan Chews will be your dog’s new favorite. They’re made from yak and cow’s milk that is first made into cheese and then sun dried until it’s hard. Unlike other kinds of dog chews, these hardened cheese sticks can last for days. They’re safer than bones, and the chewing action is great for cleaning your dog’s teeth.

Nothing says spoiled like being toted around in your own personal cocoon of coziness. That’s exactly what these Aromatherapy Dog Carrier Slings are all about. Your pup will feel happy and comfortable cuddled up against his favorite person, and with a felt heart insert to be used with pet-safe essential oils, he’ll feel more calm and relaxed than ever before. The slings come in several different fabric designs so you can pick one that matches your pup’s unique personality.

Inside this duck, there’s another duck! Two toys in one for hours of fun.

The gift of good oral hygiene is always best given in the form of a fun new toy. The Flossy Tossy™ dog toy will help keep your pup’s chompers nice and clean, but he’ll be more interested in all the chewing and tugging he’s bound to do with his new toy. The all-natural cotton rope acts like floss to scrape plaque out of those hard to reach areas in your dog’s mouth. And the non-toxic rubber is textured so it cleans your dog’s teeth while he chews and plays. Best yet, every Flossy Tossy™ purchase donates a toy to a shelter dog in need.
