Chewy.com is the hub for holiday thrills, from treats to toys to even more — so you’re sure to find the perfect gift for your cat in no time.

Frisco Spring Toys

These simple red and green spring toys from Frisco are the perfect stocking stuffers for your cat — if she stops playing with the stocking, that is! At just over three inches long, these toys are the perfect size to entice kitties into a never-ending game of chase throughout the house. Their bounce might be unpredictable — which makes them so fun for your cat — but they’ll keep frisky felines away from delicate Christmas decor.

Frisco Fair Isle Fleece-Lined Hoodie

If your furry friend is having trouble getting in the holiday spirit, Frisco’s Fair Isle Fleece Lined Dog & Cat Hoodie will help lighten the mood. They’ll stay warm in fleece and polyester while staying stylish in a traditional red-and-white winter sweater. The hood adds an extra layer of warmth (and cuteness!) that’s perfect for the cozy season.

Frisco Novelty Shark Covered Bed

Keeping warm isn’t just for jackets anymore! This ultra-adorable Frisco Novelty Shark Covered Cat & Dog Bed will make you smile just as often as it helps your cat relax. Watch family and friends laugh as your kitty walks right into the shark’s mouth for a good night’s sleep. Joy is what the holidays are all about, after all.

K&H Heated Outdoor Gingerbread House

Even outdoor cats can stay warm this winter with K&H Pet Products Outdoor Heated Holiday Gingerbread Cat House. The waterproof vinyl structure is durable in harsh weather and easily accessible, with two entrances so your cat will never be trapped. Its heated bed will keep Kitty warm and cozy, so you can have the peace of mind you deserve.

Litter-Robot Self-Cleaning Litter Box

If you’re ready to splurge for yourself and your cat this Christmas, the Litter-Robot WiFi Enabled Self-Cleaning Litter Box could be perfect for your home. After your cat uses the restroom, the box will automatically comb through the litter to separate the waste from the clean crystals. The accompanying app lets you stay informed about your cat’s bathroom habits at all times, so you’ll always know when it’s time to change the litter or keep an eye on your cat.

Pawoof Plastic Cat Fountain

While you’re staying up to date on the status of your cat’s litter, you can make sure she’s staying hydrated. A fountain such as Pawoof’s Plastic Cat Fountain is a simple addition to any room that ensures your cat always has fresh water, so you don’t have to worry. You’ll need to refill the fountain, of course, but not nearly as often as you would a regular bowl of standing water.

Temptations Holiday Dinner Cat Treats

When Christmas dinner is served, you know your cat will be eyeing the turkey on the table. Instead of letting him stay curious, you can let him have what he wants when you give him Temptations Holiday Dinner Turkey & Sweet Potato Flavor Cat Treats. Kitty’s savory cravings will be satisfied, and before you know it, he’ll be on the hunt for more.

Weruva Cats in the Kitchen Cat Food Pouches

If holiday treats aren’t special enough for your fur baby, try Weruva’s Cats in the Kitchen Meowy & Bright Variety Pack Cat Food Pouches. You’ll get 24 servings (three ounces each) in six delicious flavors, including duck and tuna. Weruva’s ingredients have everything you want in a cat food, including the highest-quality proteins, with none of what you don’t want, including grains and gluten. That’s one more reason to celebrate this holiday!

By including your cat in your Christmas traditions, you’re creating memories that you both will treasure. We hope some of these cat gifts sparked a magical idea, but you can always browse Chewy.com to find the perfect present for your feline friend.

Worry less about your dog running away with a GPS collar or Bluetooth tracker

No matter how well your dog may be trained, or how much you trust them, every pet parent worries about a runaway pup. Senior dogs can get confused, squirrels can be distracting, or a million other things could happen. A GPS tracker will help you keep up with your pup, whether your impulsive companion stays at home all day or has free range of the town.
There are GPS trackers and collars in a range of budgets, though some of the top-of-the-line options are truly above and beyond. Whether you’d rather attach a tracker to a collar you already own or buy a new collar altogether, you’re bound to find something to keep your mind at ease. Here are a pair of our favorite options, both available at Chewy.com.

The top of the line
If you’re looking for a collar to keep your dog safe while keeping you constantly in the know, the Fi Series 2 GPS Tracker Smart Dog Collar is the one for you. Not only is the material waterproof and tough, but it also has an LED light. You can customize this light to your preferences so you can find Fido in the dark, no matter where you are. The color and size of this collar are also customizable — any dog can find the perfect fit!
The safety features on this high-tech collar are top-notch, including an extra-long battery life of up to three months. It can connect to Wi-Fi and cellular GPS, which means it can track your dog inside and outside your home. The more active your dog is, the more often the tracker will refresh. It even features a manual Lost Dog Mode that refreshes your pup’s location every 60 seconds and lasts up to two whole days with a full battery. You’ll know if you ever need to use Lost Dog Mode because the Fi Series 2 Collar will send a notification to any device connected to it.
Over time, the collar will keep track of your dog’s activity, which you can compare to other Fi Series 2 users if you’re feeling curious (or competitive, if you’ve got a working dog who loves a challenge). Now you’ll know that your bestie is getting the exercise they need, and you’ll have the peace of mind you deserve.

Here’s when you should (and shouldn’t) gift an animal for Christmas

Some of the most heartwarming viral moments in recent years are of pets being welcomed to a new family on Christmas. The beaming parents carry a tiny puppy into the living room, where the rest of the family waits in suspense around a decorated tree. Siblings hug, and even Dad sheds a tear as everyone has their first moment with their Christmas miracle.

While the joy on a child's face as they hold their new best friend is unlike any other, there is so much more to each adorable story than we see on Facebook. Even surprising a significant other with an animal can entail so much more than the romantic Instagram pictures everyone gets to see. Pets of any species are a huge responsibility that not everyone is ready for — you're taking care of a living being, after all.
When you shouldn't
As much as kids love animals, that alone is not a good enough reason to get them a pet. Taking care of an animal is a responsibility they just may not be able to meet — which isn't their fault! Take a look at how they take care of their toys, and you might have a preview of how they would interact with a pet. Still seem like a good idea? Instead, an interactive toy can be a great place to start teaching your children about responsibility and caring for an animal. Then, when the time comes, they'll be paw-sitively purr-fect pet parents already!

The best pet treats and toys to get this holiday season

With so many options for cat toys and treats, looking for the purr-fect gift for your feline friend can be overwhelming. Each cat has their own likes and dislikes, but unless they can learn to talk, their humans will have to lend a hand in deciding what's best. Regardless, your curious kitty is bound to be interested in any gift, especially ones like these.
Treats
Now your cat can join the party, too! Friskies Party Mix Crunch Chicken Lovers Cat Treats are both healthy and delicious, so you don't have to worry about over spoiling your fur baby. (Is that even possible?) Each individual treat, which is made of real chicken as its main ingredient, contains only two calories. The crunchy coating on the outside helps smooth away plaque on your kitty's teeth while occupying her with a titillating texture unique to this treat. You can purchase Friskies Party Mix in a wide variety of sizes, all of which come in a resealable pouch or tub, so the party can keep on going.

If you're looking for a treat that lasts a little longer, Sheba Meaty Tender Sticks Salmon Flavored Cat Treats can be fed in two ways. Your cat can earn pieces of the stick one by one or take her time to munch on a whole stick — though it won't last nearly as long as a dog's bone since it's a treat, not a toy. These treats are made of real meat and are grain-free, which is recommended for cats with sensitive digestive systems. (That means no corn, soy, wheat, or artificial flavoring!) Each package of treats contains five individually wrapped sticks, so you don't have to give them to your cat all at once, even though she'd love it if you did.
