Of course we do they are part of the family and the dog loves ripping open the parcels.

I have prepared stockings for the dogs of my two DD. I will be baking dog biscuits for them, also. The family think I'm nuts..

Ha ha Whitewavemark2! And I don't leave their edible presents wrapped under the tree or the whole pile would be demolished even I'm out if the room.

Yes - his favourite treats were ordered which were on the porch mat when we arrived back from our walk yesterday. I realised what they were when he tried to open it - he smelt them through 2 lots of plastic vacuum packed packaging!!

We always bought the horses advent calendars each (full of horsey treats) along with a stable toy and new lick

If they had been exceptionally good they had new rugs and saddle pads.

I get treats for my granddog, as he is staying with us over Christmas. He’s getting turkey flavour (according to the wrapper!) stars, and a fancy new anxiety bed. The latter is because he sleeps in my daughter’s bed at home, and I’d rather he didn’t sleep in her bed here as it is brand new. I’m hoping that if his new bed is comfortable he’ll be happy to sleep in that, even if it is on the new bed.

Of course not.
Well only a stocking, a new toy and a new bedblush

We buy for our DSs dog, he’s part of the family present opening ceremony. This year he’s got a dog treat puzzle to keep him busy.

I always buy a small gifts for dogs and cats in the family. I don’t like leaving them out.

Joseann Thu 21-Dec-23 07:17:35

Oh yes, always have. Daft I know, but fun.
I also wrap up a small present FROM the dogs and cats to family members. I tell the DGC the dogs saved up their pocket money to buy the gifts or went without a few Bonios. I agree the ripping open provides entertainment.

My dog loves opening presents so she gets some, she doesn't seem to care what's in them, the fun is ripping them open.

My two dogs have a toy each for Christmas. I fully realise they don't know what time of year it is and its just a bit of fun for me, but they have been my huge and constant support since dh died and to me deserve their new toys.

I don’t because our cats like to roam around and catch flies,dragonflies and skinks and are not interested in toys but my daughter buys presents for her 2 which my granddaughters wrap up and put under the tree. Hers are mainly indoor cats,though. They sell a lot of gifts for dogs here, even little Christmas stockings full of toys.
