#2 Creatures of comfort

Our dogs love to go out in the sun and play, but they also love to snuggle up in bed and rest after a hard day’s work at the park. Pamper your dog for the holidays with some new furniture that will have them well rested and ready for another round of play. 

If you’re looking for perfect gifts for old dogs,PetKit’s Memory Foam Dog Bed comes insulated with thick memory foam that’s endlessly comfortable. The memory foam in the bed conforms to your pet’s body relieving pain and pressure on their joints and muscles. Of course, these dog beds are also good gifts for dogs of all ages!

Other than their love for walks and play, the next favourite love of a pup’s life is food. What better way to boost their dining experience than getting them a brand new Le Creuset stoneware dog bowl? Beautifully sleek, coming in a palette of gorgeous and bold tones, it’s easy to clean and gives your pup a clean and easy feeding experience every time. In addition, the enameled surface of Le Creuset’s bowl is scratch-resistant and hygienic, being able to absorb odors or flavours. It’s also strong and durable, making for an awesome eco-friendly Xmas gift for your pup!
