Holiday Pet Shopping Guide
Check out the holiday gift lists below for dogs, cats, and exotic pets in Long Beach!
Dogs
Outward Hound Nina Ottosson Dog Brick Interactive Treat Toy- ‘Tis the season for bad weather in a lot of areas, and that means some dogs won’t be able to get as much outside time as usual. That can lead to a bored pup who’s starting to chew things up from frustration. The Outward Hound Puzzle Toy is perfect for keeping dogs entertained and engaging their brains in any season. It has different compartments to hide treats, and your dog will have to figure out how to open each kind. It’s the perfect present for any dog and will keep them entertained year-round.
Foldable, Portable Water Bottle- This water bottle is perfect for travel. Whether that’s a road trip or a long walk on the beach, dogs need to stay hydrated. This bottle is convenient to carry and comes with a foldable silicone bowl attached, so there’s no worrying about having a water source and a bowl to drink from. It also has a sealed silicone gasket to prevent leaks and a handy carrying strap.
Ruffwear Grip Trex Dog Boots- No matter what the season, dogs need to get outside for some exercise. Protecting those paws is essential, especially in extreme weather when the pavement may be hot or cold. Dog boots are a practical present and make walking in any terrain at any time of year more tolerable. We especially like the Ruffwear Dog Boots. Their grippy rubber soles make them great for hiking for an outdoorsy dog, they have reflective patches, perfect for night walks, and they’re easy to get on a dog without having a wrestling match.

Cats
Litter Robot 3- This is definitely a splurge, but it’s the gift that keeps on giving. It makes scooping poop a thing of the past and gives your cat one less thing to complain about. The litter is automatically sifted, and the waste is separated into an easy-to-dump drawer. It can be monitored through an app, so you can be alerted when the drawer is full. It saves time, prevents odors, and is easy to set up.
On2 Pets Cat Tree With Leaves- If you know of a cat who stares longingly outside, you can bring a little bit of the outdoors in. This cat tree gives cats who like to be elevated a place where they can get the height they crave, complete with concealing foliage for them to plan their sneak attacks. The On2 Pets Cat Tree is perfect to place by a cat’s favorite window or on a catio so they can get a taste of the outdoors. It comes in multiple heights and multiple colors so not only is it practical and fun for your cat, it also adds a touch of whimsy to a living space.
TTcat Cat Wand 10 Piece Cat Feather Toys- There’s nothing like a teaser toy to catch a cat’s interest. This teaser toy is made of flexible steel wire with a wooden handle making it sturdy but keeping it lightweight and bendy. It has a bell to grab your cat’s attention and comes with 10 different feather toys so you can swap them out as they wear out or change them to make it seem like a totally new toy to your cat.

Exotic Pets
Tree Stump Hidey- What do you get the guinea pig that has everything? Another hidey hole! This plush hidey hole is made of non-toxic material and is shaped like a cute little tree stump. It adds a touch of fun to your guinea pig’s enclosure and helps them feel safe and secure. It comes in small for guinea pigs and a medium size that is ideal for rabbits.
Maze Haven- The Maze Haven from Binky Bunny provides hours of interactive fun for rabbits (and ferrets and guinea pigs!) The cardboard maze can be reconfigured and engages a rabbit’s natural instinct to map escape routes. You can even make it two levels tall! This maze encourages healthy activity for a rabbit while enriching their environment, making it the ultimate pet gift.
Biorb Vivarium Earth- Treat your reptiles and yourself to one of the exquisite vivariums by Biorb. These aren’t your grandpa’s reptile enclosures. You can purchase one specifically designed for the climate of your reptile: desert, humid subtropical, or tropical. Every aspect can be controlled and monitored by an app. To make it even more enticing for your reptiles, they come with a speaker embedded to replicate the sounds of a reptile’s natural environment.
Wiggle Waggles Foraging Bird Toy- Birds love toys. They love them until they love them to pieces… or until they get bored and need new toys. The Wiggle Waggles bird toy is made of paper Munchie Cups and hemp rope to provide hours of fun. This is a paper toy that a bird can shred safely to their heart’s content. This toy may not survive long, but it makes a great addition to your bird’s toy rotation.
