Do You Buy Christmas & Birthday Presents For Your Pets?

I don't generally get the cats anything specific, well, with 24 of them, its kind of hard.... I got some poofs in a freecycle yesterday and Oliver will get those, he loves his poofs.

I bought my Sherlock 'Nutter Pops for Christmas. He likes the taste of peanut butter, and I guess 'Nutter Pops are a dog's way to gain access to the yummy treat. I think he'll be glad to get some. I do it mainly because I find it fun. I don't think Sherlock cares when he gets a treat, just as long as he gets one. lol

I do buy an extra tin of meat or a toy on such occasions. I feel that our pet has to celebrate too in his own way even though he does not understand the meaning of it all. © ronaldinu 2008

Yup, Morgana is going to get a kitty climbing tree with a little bed at the bottom for Christmas. I also usually get her a treat too. [b]~~IN SEARCH OF PEACE WITHIN~~ **AGAINST THE STORMS, I WILL STAND STRONG** [/b]

The pet suppliers have sure given many commmercial options for pet owners who have more money than sense. Ican can go either way on this depending on pets needs (ex. chew toy if needed -maybe even catnip treat) pets, my economics etc. Whats important is thought. Better real turkey than a plastic bone. :)

Hi ellie, well I have only ever brought my dog a doggy stocking one year for Christmas and she was so unimpressed with it that I've never bothered again (I was a little hurt by her reaction..lol) think she just prefers the turkey, so no I don't buy her anything now.

Lol yes I do I know it sounds silly but I do Not to expensive though unless he needs a new Bed then of course the comfort for Gissi lol But he is not due one yet

I did when I had Reggie....he loved Christmas. Fortunatly I have videos of him opening his presents...or others opening them for him....it was hysterical! He would bark and growl until he got his special treats! Aren't they just wonderful?

I used to when I had my dog. I would buy her a stocking or chocs every year, wrap it up for her and then she would open it! She loved it and would then drive me mad all day with the squeeky toy until she had ripped it out.

Hi there ellie. I don't really think i would buy presents for my pets but rather buy a pet as a present for a birthday or Christmas. I know i don't have any pets at the moment but i also know that my girls wants fish when we will move in together so i know what type of pets i will be buying.

Yes I do give my pets presents! And even though its not Christmas or their birthdays I give them some treats whenever I come home. It's funny cause even if I'm short of money, I can still afford to buy them something. Even my family they give my pets gifts too. For this Christmas I told them not to buy me gifts anymore cause animal stuffs are expensive enough. Its enough for me that my pets gets the treats. Ciao!

We have a beagle at home and I think he is a little bit pampered. It does not have to be Christmas for him to get presents. My cousin and uncle ususally get him something when they happen to pass by a pet store.

Hi ya ellie333 Well we have got gineapigs this year for the first time but I don't think I shall be getting anything special for them for Christmas! My dad has a dog and we shall probably get something for him because my boys absolutely love him but it will only be a small something. I won't be spending anymore than £3 or so on him but it is almost like a child for my dad and his fiance!

I do not usually buy anything for my cats, but I have bought Carl things form the cats LOL

Hi Ellie, at on boxing day it is my two's birthday..so yes they always get treats over the chritmas period, only as they are big dogs I tend to try and put the tree where they won't reach it although this year may be a bit difficult as have got rid of a lot of things and will have to risk it being on the floor minus presents lol...Huggles littleowl

the critters are just as much a part of the family as the two legged mammals.. so yes, they gt stockings hung as well that have their names stitched into them and hey are filled with doggie/kitty treats and other various playthings for them LOL they also get their peice of dinner.. but thats a standard at ANY meal, not just holidays.

My mum once bought her two cats a advent calendar but since they have grown into cats they dont get treated to much. When they were kittens they were spoiled at Christmas, one enjoyed running off with the tinsel. lol It is strange seeing gifts for and stockings for pets. My mum never bothered with the stockings as they never played with cats toys, they enjoyed everything else such as the washing basket, plastic bag, string and such!!

Hello, My pets are so spoiled! I buy cat and dog treats and toys for them all on xmas . I even wrap them too . The dogs will be scratching at it too LOL. I one time celebrated my ray ray bday with a cake LOL. So ya i would say they all are pampered here is the pic of the cats on xmas getting into trouble with the bags and gifts!

Hi ellie, Oh yes, now I wonder what your doggie will do whern the tree goes up hehe, yes my twos has a field day with my tree, Thomas usually grab my bauble and try to get it off the tree, most time he gets and play with it tillhe gets fed up with it, I am always shouting at him. I normally buy those cats treats whic Tomas love and Baby is not interested in them, I tried giving little toys but they don't play with that much, I forget they are getting old, so I just get them some treats and new food bowls. Love and Huggles. Tamara

Hi Ellie, I dont have any pets myself but i must admit i do buy for friends and families pets, mainly because they buy for my children and as they dont have children themselves i buy their pets a bit of something, their pets are their babies so its only the same really as them buying for my kids!!!! hugs Jessica
