Pets are like part of the Family to me, I`ve noticed that some stores sell pet gift baskets, and christmas stockings for pets, How many of you buy gifts for your pet, and would you present them with a stocking filled w/ pet goodies, or a gift basket for christmas?

every Christmas my cats get their Xmas stockings from the pet shop because they do deserve something like it for being my mates for the year..they already have their baskets to sleep in also really small electric blankets for winter plus lots of toys to play with

For Christmas this year I am making home made dog treats and giving little goodie bags of them to my friends and family's dogs. I even have a little dog bone shaped cookie cutter I am making them with :) But I don't consider this normal. We've always bought gifts for our own pets, but not for other people's. It's really your call. It sounds like the whole situation bothers you, so maybe you shouldnt' encourage it by giving in to her and buying the dogs gifts. Sounds like they are probably spoiled enough anyways, right? And next time she's on the phone, ask her, "so how is your daughter? You know, your REAL daughter?"

I have a bunch of kitties and I buy one of the pet stocking's for cats and just divide the stuff up between them. Cats have Christmas too. They miswell join us.

I'd feel like a bad mother if I didn't get my pets Christmas presents. I also wrap the cats' stuff in tissue paper with ribbons so they can play and open the packages themselves....

I have a stocking hung between mine & my husbands.....it's for my cat. Christmas time is a good time to buy new toys, and helps to make sure they are not left out, on that day, when everyone is paying attention to the new items they've received.

We've always bought presents for our pets - toys or treats. Now that I have 5 cats, I do sometimes buy a pre-filled stocking, as they don't care that there is just one for all of them - it's full of toys and catnip. We used to have dogs that knew which boot was theirs (a plastic toy boot that could be filled). When you told them to "get your boot" they would dash to get it and bring it back for assistance in getting to their toys! Of course, the cats get just as much fun playing in the wrapping paper and with ribbons.

My dog is part of the family too, however I'd probably consider buying him a healthy treat instead of a pre- filled stocking. Also, I think they value the time that you spend with them more than any fancy treats...

My mom buys my cat toys. They have a basket full of stuff. They go into the basket and pick which toy to play with. They have not learned how to put their toys away though.
