Do you hang a Christmas stocking for your dog? Yeah, we do too. The cute ones shown above can be ordered from PetCo, but you better hurry for delivery by Christmas.
You could also make your own, which I did about a hundred years ago. I still have the stocking:
It is pretty sad looking, and hasn't been in rotation for many years, but making the bone shaped pattern was easy, and done up in more current fabric, it would be adorable. And my gosh, if you had one of those embroidery features on your machine you could even personalize it.
What kind of stocking stuffers would one give to a dog? Here are my favorites for this year.
This is Marvin the Moose, a Kong chew toy. Only $6.07 on Amazon.
This is the Benebone bacon flavored wish bone shaped chew toy. Wow, that was a mouthful. It is designed so that dogs can get a good grip on it and have a "satisfying chew". It comes in several sizes and is under $10.
This is the OurPets IQ treat ball. It dispenses treats or kibble if your dog manipulates the ball properly. I am hoping it will keep Ozzie occupied for awhile so he doesn't bug me.
The dogs in our family love these Nutrish Savory Dog Treats by Rachael Ray. You can pick these up at the grocery store, and you can be sure there will be a flavor your dog will enjoy.
Ok, I have to admit, I did not purchase this item, because I thought it was gross. Ozzie would be over the moon to have it though. It is the Perfect Curve Lick Lick pad. You stick it to the wall, slap some peanut butter on it, and it is guaranteed to distract your dog while you give him a bath or do other grooming. Innovative, right? Still not buying it. Although I wonder how long it would keep him out of my hair....
So, do you give your pets Christmas stockings? What sorts of treats do you put in them?
I am with you on the last item. OVer the top IMHO. NO pets so I don't have to shop for them. SOmeone reading your ideas will be very happy for your thoughts. YOu did it! Every day this week. COngratulations and thanks. I always enjoy your blogs. Have a wonderful weekend.

Too cute - except for the last item. Guess who would be cleaning it? Yep, me. No thanks. No problem since we have no dog. Sigh. We're dog people and have one remaing cat. Yes, our dogs had stockings, but it's beneath the cat's notice.
Hugs!

Yes! We have felt stockings with glittered names for our dogs. And we also send gifts to our family's dogs. Our dogs have always gone bonkers for Hartz Chew 'n' Clean Dental Duo bones. They're heavy plastic with 'bacon' flavor centers that our dogs l.o.v.e.!! If you get one for Ozzie you'll be thanking me for hours of pre-occupied dog time! Our go-to treats are Blue Dog Perfect Trainers.

I made my cats Christmas stockings and of course they are out of B&C fabrics because they need to match with the human ones.

Those pet stockings are adorable. I will have to add them to my "to make" list for next year.
I have 2 cats and always buy them some new toys at Christmas because they are a big part of our family.
