You love walking your dog, but it’s OK to admit that picking up their poop isn’t exactly the highlight. While we can’t make poop pickups pleasant, we can make them festive. Grab The Nutcracker's Holiday Dog Waste Bag and Refils, A Gift From Santa dog waste bags or some Candy Cane Lane dog waste bags to remind yourself that no matter the season, poop happens.

2. A functional travel bowl

The past year has been a little strange, and perhaps you’ve had to cancel some of the travel plans you made with your pup. If you’ll be getting away this holiday season, however—or if you’re looking forward to some future adventures with your favorite companion—pick up the Good2Go Collapsible Pet Bowl Duo.  It will help your pet stay well fed and hydrated wherever you go. Since it’s collapsible, it’s the perfect size to fit in any stocking on your mantle.

3. New toys

Loading your pup up with some new versions of their favorite classic toys is always a good stocking stuffer idea. Pick up a KONG holiday Wubba toy that is sure to provide hours of play and entertainment.

4. Holiday-themed treats

No stocking is complete without some treats. Make it festive with a holiday cookie treat that comes in fun candy-cane shaped packaging. Tasty and on theme—what’s not to love about that?

5. Dental treats

Check two goals off your list by picking up a stocking stuffer that can also benefit your pet’s oral health. Dental treats like WholeHearted Smart Smiles dental treats for your cat or Wholehearted Smart Smiles dental treats for your dog make great options. These treats not only taste great but are also formulated to help reduce plaque and tartar and freshen your pet’s breath.

6. Paw Balm

Your pup’s paws work hard on your walks, but you can help keep them feeling good with Well & Good’s ProStyle Paw Balm. Safe enough for use on puppies, this salon-grade paw balm helps prevent or relieve and restore dry or damaged paw pads (great for cold dry days) so your pup can get back to doing what they do best—romping and playing.

7. Pet sanitizing wipes

This year will go down as the year of sanitization, so adding a pet-friendly sanitizer to your pet’s stocking is a great fit! PAWZ SAniPaw sanitizer spray wipes help eliminate germs and odors from your dog after walks or any outdoor rendezvous. These hypoallergenic, unscented and nontoxic wipes kill 99.99% of unwanted germs and toxins while still being safe enough for your dog to lick.

8. A pre-stuffed stocking

It comes with festive toys and treats your pet will love to ensure they won’t feel left out of the fun when all the humans start rummaging through their own stockings.
