While shopping for gifts this time of year, you may be carrying around a list in your head of special people you shouldn’t leave out this holiday. You know the type: don’t forget to pick up something for your mom and dad, for your significant other, your adorable baby nephew, your hairdresser…But who might you be forgetting? Your pet! Whether you have a furry puppy or kitty at home, don’t forget to pick up something nice for them this holiday. After all, they listen to you when you need to complain, they love you unconditionally, and pet owners are even known to live longer than non-pet-owners! And if you’re stumped as to what to get them, we’ve got some great, green gift ideas right here.

This versatile pet bed by West Paw Design is not only perfect for both cats and dogs, it’s also good for them and the environment! The Eco Nap Pet Mat comes in five different sizes and six different color schemes, is covered in organic cotton, and is stuffed with 85% recycled IntelliLoft™ fibers, made from recycled plastic bottles. It’s incredibly soft and cuddly (just like your pet!) and comes with the added bonus of being machine washable and dryable (which your pet probably is not).  Either way, it’s a thoughtful and practical gift for this holiday season!

If your pet is more of the canine persuasion, then they’ll  love this chewy, flexible, floatable toy: the Zogoflex Bumi by West Paw Design! It’s the perfect toy for any size dog and its non-toxic, pet safe, and 100% recyclable body is guaranteed tough, so it’ll last through playtime after playtime.

To delight the kitten in your life, get them this fuzzy fish toy this holiday! Like our other West Paw Design products, it’s constructed out of organic cotton and 85% recycled IntelliLoft fibers, but since it’s made specifically for cats, it also has a sewn in bell and is filled with USDA-certified organic catnip, guaranteed to set their whiskers twitching!

Last but not least is this durable, eco-friendly Twist by West Paw Design. It, too, is constructed out of the same recycled and organic materials and, although it’s marketed for fun-loving dogs, we think it would be a great toy to entertain frisky kittens, too! Plus, it’s available in two sizes and a variety of colors, so you’ll be able to pick the perfect combo for your favorite pet.
