Best Holiday Gifts for Your Puppy

December 11, 2023

‘Tis the season! Several winter holidays lay right around the corner! Christmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, and other religious and spiritual holidays are a loving time to feel grateful and give gifts! In this blog, you’ll get fun ideas for holiday gifts for your puppy! 

DOG PUZZLES

Dogs of all ages, including puppies, need mental exercise. Mentally stimulating games include playing with other dogs, learning and practicing commands with their owners, and of course, playing mentally challenging games by themselves. There are some great dog puzzles on the market today. Dog puzzles provide dogs of all ages to exercise their minds as they figure out how to obtain the treats that are inside the puzzle! 

Pet Zone IQ Treat Dispensing Ball

We love this dog puzzle, because it’s:

• Mentally Stimulating Toys for Dogs: This dog treat toy keeps dogs mentally and physically active while they play. Available in two sizes – 3″ for cats and small dogs (10 Pounds and up, not suitable for Toy Dog Breeds) and 4″ for larger dogs
• Treat Dispensing Dog Toys: Your furry friend gets smarter as they play with this interactive dog toy, learning how to roll the ball to get dog treats to fall out. Adjust the desired difficulty level using the ball’s adjustable interior disc
• Easy To Use And Clean: Our dog mental stimulation toys conveniently use your dog’s favorite dry treats or kibble. It is made from hard plastic that disassembles for easy cleaning. Rinse in warm soapy water and dry after use
• Slower Healthier Feeding: This treat ball for dogs encourages slower active eating and is a great alternative to slow feeder dog bowls, lick mats for dogs, and snuffle mat for dogs. NOT a chew toy, NOT recommended for aggressive chewers
• Dog Toys for Boredom and Stimulating: This pet treat ball dispenser is designed to limit the amount of treats your dog gets while encouraging more extended playtime. Please Always Supervise Your Pet While In Use

You can buy treat dispensing balls for your puppy at Petland Miami! Stop in one of our pet stores in Pembroke Pines, Kendall, Largo, or Naples, FL to see our wide selection of treats and treat dispensers.

• Slow Feeder: This slow feeder encourages pets to eat at a slower speed, helps to slow down the feeding time to help the dog digest, and can provide your dog with a variety of healthy snacks.
• Slow Feeder Toys: Use this educational game toy to exercise the dog’s brain, which will help meet the dog’s instinct needs, train the pet’s sense of smell, and let the dog enjoy feeding when using the nose or paw to move the slider, while providing spirit stimulation.

SQUEAKY FUN TOYS

Puppies, dogs, and other pets love toys. The best holiday gifts for your puppy are often the simplest. Puppies love having their own stuffed animal to cuddle, covet, and love! Here are a few fun squeaky toys that your puppy is sure to cherish this holiday season and into the New Year! 

Hear Doggy UltraSonic Squeaker Toy

What’s better than a plush squeaky toy for your dog? A plush squeaky toy that you won’t be able to hear! We love this company for making “squeaky” toys that only dogs can hear! 

• This cuddly soft plush toy is perfect for playtime and has a built-in ultrasonic squeaker that only your dog can hear!
• Includes an ultrasonic silent squeaker, you don’t have to worry about unnecessary noise while your dog plays on this toy, all you’ll hear is a quiet puff of air. Ideal for both the home and office.
• This plush dog toy is made to last with reinforced seaming, giving your pet the same sensation and enjoyment of traditional squeaky toys. Keeps your dog’s attention.
• This quiet dog toy comes cutely shaped like a Rave Gator, Elephant, Monkey, Simba, Flamingo, Squirrel, Ostrich, Giraffe, so pick whichever one you like best.

Outward Hound Invincibles Green Gecko Plush Dog Toy

We love this squeaking dog toy because it doesn’t have any stuffing inside. It’s actually “flat” and therefore has a better chance of standing up to the natural wear and tear that occurs from your dog. 

• Longer-lasting plush dog toy for dogs to fetch, toss, and cuddle; cute on the outside, tough on the inside
• Strong binding and an interior layer of tough material (K-9 TUFF GUARD) for extended play compared to traditional plush toys
• Stuffing free: fun for your dog, less mess for you
• Jumbo squeakers keep dogs entertained
• Multiple shapes and sizes available for every dog, activity level, and squeak preference (the longer the toy, the more squeakers there are!)
