25 Puppy Things of Christmas- # 24 & 25

So this is the end of the Christmas countdown. I hope you have found a few things to make your dogs holidays special.

24. Frosty Paws Ice Cream ($4-6)

Maverick is a huge fan of ice cream but I have to make sure I give him puppy ice cream. He loves this brand! You can find them at most grocery stores.

25! Grandma Lucy's  ($5)

Grandma Lucy's donated some samples to the dog event I put on the fall and Maverick fell in love with them. They are an amazing company and the treats are very yummy!

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- # 22 & 23

Almost done...

22. Tennis Balls ($3-8)

What dog doesn't love tennis balls? I know my dog does!! And in my house you can never have enough tennis balls. You can stock up on these pretty much everywhere and they will make a great addition to your dogs stocking!

23. Thundershirt ($39.95)

I am very lucky that my dog does not have needs that would require a Thundershirt to help but I am glad dogs have that option available. I have heard from real users that this is a great tool to help with all kinds of anxiety issues for pets.

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- # 20 & 21

Let's keep counting down...

20. Harry Barker Food and Water Bowl ($20-28 each)

I love this pattern from Harry Barker. They are a local Charleston company!
21. Up Country Collar and Leash ($20-21 each)

Make sure to go to Up Country's website to see all the cute collars and leashes they make. I love their holiday collection for this year.

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- #18 & 19

And the Countdown Continues...

18. Collection of Plastic Toys (Price Varies)

I just thought this was a great idea for the Summer time. Take a collection of dog appropriate plastic toys and freeze them in a huge block of ice. The ice will keep the dog cool during the really hot summer months but finding the toys will keep the dog entertained. What a great fun treat for the Summer!

19. Plastic Swimming Pool ($10)

These can be great play tools for your dog all year long. In the summer you can fill the pool with water for your dog to play in and during the winter you can fill the pool with sand and bury toys in it. This way it gives them a place to dig and find fun toys along the way.

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- #14, 15, 16, 17

We are in the second half of the countdown to the 25 Puppy Things of Christmas and today's items are different. So keep an open mind today...

14. Pet Photos (Price Varies)

This is a picture of us with Maverick that was taken by a photographer. Find local photographers in your area to have them take some pictures of you pet as well as some family photos.

15. Adopt a Brother/Sister for your pet (Price Varies)

Pet Helpers is a local shelter on James Island here in Charleston, SC. They have the friendliest volunteers that really want to make sure you find the right pet for you.

16. Subscription to Lowcountry Dog Magazine ($25 per year)

Lowcountry Dog Magazine is a great way to find out the events that are going on the Lowcountry of South Carolina. There are ads to help you find a vet, boarding, grooming or even photographer. Plus there are heartwarming stories from pets in the Lowcountry.

17. Lowcountry Dog Magazine T-Shirt ($30)

The great thing about this shirt is that $5 from each shirt sold will go to a rescue or shelter of your choice. So you can get a cute t-shirt and help the animals. It is a win-win situation!

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- #11, 12, 13

Time is ticking away till the big day next week and if you are still looking for little treats for your dog I found a few more things for you...

11. Chuck It Ball Launcher ($11.99)

We have one of these for Maverick. If your dog likes to play fetch I HIGHLY recommend this toy. It will allow you to throw the ball farther and does not wear out your arm. These can be purchased at any pet store.

12. Seat Cover (prices vary)

This is a real car saver. The one we bought at PetSmart has a rubber bottom to catch any liquids plus it helps it not slip around the car. Oh and it is machine washable!

13. Snuggie! (prices vary by size)

I don't think I will get Maverick one of these because he will just try to eat it but I know plenty of dogs that love to wear clothes. This will make a great present for clothes loving pets!

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- #8,9,10

Time is ticking to pick up those special things for you puppy for Christmas. But do not worry I am here to help ya'll!

8. BarkBox  17 per month with 6 month subscription

 

 

(Maverick has been receiving this box for 6 months now and he loves everything he has wrapped.)

 

 

9. Pawalla   $26 per month

 

10. Bugsy's Box   $17 per month with subscription

All of these boxes for you dog can be bought with a monthly subscription or several months at a time. You can tailor the box to your pets size so they get appropriate sized toys and treats.

 



25 Puppy Things of Christmas- #5,6,7

Time to continue our countdown to great puppy presents you can get before the big day!

5. $12.99

This is a great toy for your dog because it is an interactive toy. You place treats in the pods and then slide them together. Your dog has to play and learn to get the treats out. This would be a great occupier for puppies or keeping older dogs minds sharp. Available at PetSmart.

6. $3.99-15.99

We give our dog Maverick antler chews because they are a better alternative than rawhides. Antler chews are much harder for dogs to chew up! There is a variety of sizes and animals to choose from based on your dogs size. These are available at Dr. Foster Smith.

7. $85 (for my version)

I am a huge fan of the pet website Olive Green Dog. They have some of the cutest things you can get for your dog. Like the cute bed above. The large version I put together costs $85 but there are lots of options. They have lots of great colors and designs. 

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- #4

I am very excited about the Puppy Things of Christmas for today. It took me a couple of minutes to believe this product even existed when I first saw it. But then it made sense because my dog just loves beer when it spills on the ground.

4. $19.99

I love that someone has made a dog friendly beer that has no alcohol in it. So what does it have in it? Here is the description from the website:

What’s in Bowser Beer?

USDA beef or chicken.

Malt barley (full of B-vitamins) –just like in your beer.

Glucosamine for joint health.

What’s NOT in Bowser Beer:

Alcohol or carbonation.

Hops,which can be toxic to dogs.

Commercial broth,which contains loads of salt,fat,MSG,onions and meat of unknown origin.

Serving Suggestions:

Straight out of the bottle

Pour it over dry kibble

Flavor the water bowl

Pour over crushed ice for a cold,crunchy treat

I thought this was a pretty cool idea for Christmas so make sure to order you dog some here.

25 Puppy Things of Christmas- #3

Ok so I know the last item was from Harry Barker but I just love that company and they have such cute and well made things for your dog. So what is the item for today?

 

 

3. $6-10

Rope Pulls!!!! Maverick has something similar that does not have the pull part but he loves the rope ball. These range in size from small to large and in a variety of color.

Check them out at Harry Barker!
