FAQ

What is a good Christmas gift for a dog lover under $25?

Something for life with the dog: a treat jar, a holiday toy set or a leash. A dog mug or ornament works if you want a gift just for the person.

Should I buy a gift for the dog or the owner?

Either works. A toy for the dog plus something small for them covers both. A small pair of both stays under $25.

What should I check before buying a leash or toy?

Check the dog's size and how hard it chews. Pick the leash size and toy toughness to match.
