Personalize these gifts for any pet parent – up to 25% off

By Julie Scagell Published April 20, 2021

2020 has been the year of the pet. We’ve been dealing with a global pandemic that has forced many of us to work from home, homeschool, and deal with one thousand uncertain conditions as a result. One of the few beacons of light has been our fur babies. They are always available, ready for a walk, and pretty happy for the time spent together. Why not memorialize this year with a positive memento?

Chewy is having an Early Cyber Savings Sale and it’s packed with personalized pet gifts sure to dazzle the pet lover in your life, and your pets as well. The online retail giant is discounting drinkware, frames, ornaments, and pet essentials. The best part? They are all available for adding a personal touch — be it their adorable face or moniker.

Chewy is selling plaid ornaments that can be personalized with your pet’s pretty face. It’s a perfect way to decorate your tree and capture their personality. According to the website, “When it’s time to trim the tree and fill your home with holiday cheer, don’t forget to celebrate the furriest of your family members. This paw print ornament is customizable with your favorite pet photo and personalized text, like their nickname or a cute saying that reminds you of them,” which is the perfect way to capture 2020.

If you need a gift for your pet’s grandparent, might I suggest the Personalized “Minimalistic Woof” White Coffee Mug. This perfectly-sized mug is just the right gift for any desk or morning nook to chug a cup of coffee and get ready to face the day. The ceramic mug is customizable with two photos of your choosing, which will be printed directly on the product. Download. Buy. Ship. Enjoy.

What would the holidays be like without a gift for your fur baby, themselves? These gorgeous plaid dog or cat bowls are the ideal personalized gift to leave them under the tree. Who has met an animal that doesn’t like meal time? These dishes can be made with your pet’s name or face on them, and, as someone who has two very territorial dogs, perhaps seeing their own faces on their food dishes would help with the meal-time drama.

Can you really call yourself an animal lover without wearing socks with their pictures on them? Chewy is discounting these Tribe Personalized Pet Face Socks that put the “FA” in “FA-LA-LA” this holiday season. They are adorned with pictures of your fur baby and are “extra special because they are sustainable and crafted from recycled yarns!” Plus, they’ll keep your tootsies warm all winter long, so the $20 price tag is a small price to pay.

If you really want to go all-out this holiday season, might I recommend this Personalized Plaid Sherpa Fleece Blanket. It’s 50x 60 inches of warmth and relaxation with a big photo of your pet on one side and “super cozy sherpa material on the other.” I call this present winning the always-cold, pet parent trifecta.

Bottom line? You will be the envy of all your animal-loving friends once you stock up. But please don’t delay. This sale only goes through November 24, and while supplies last. We all deserve to be happy this holiday season, and what better way than a personalized gift to warm the cockles of our heart?

Happy shopping!

Is your cat a boy or girl? Here’s how to tell

This is important to know for lots of reasons

Whether you've adopted a new kitten or you've rescued an adult cat, distinguishing males from females can be tricky, even for professionals. Figuring out how to tell if a cat is a boy or girl is even more difficult with kittens and neutered male cats, especially if you don't have another cat to use for physical reference.

However, there are some physical characteristics — as well as behavioral cues — that can help you determine a cat's sex. We'll walk you through everything you need to know about how to tell kittens' sex and whether you should name your new feline friend Alex or Alexis.

How to take care of a blind cat: The tips and tricks to know

Creating a home that's comfortable and helpful for blind cats

With over 2 million adoptions taking place at animal shelters in the U.S. every year, pet lovers have every reason to celebrate. But it's not all sunshine and rainbows. The adoption rate is much lower for "special needs" animals like blind cats. It takes a wonderfully special kind of person to adopt a disabled fur baby, but those who do give special needs animals a forever home don't regret it.

Not only are you saving a life when you adopt a disabled pet, but you're also setting an example for family members, friends, and neighbors. As pet parents of disabled fur babies will tell you, differently abled pets, including blind cats, are just as loving and fun as any other.

Why your cat sleeping at your feet is a big compliment

If you've ever wondered about this cat behavior, this article is for you

Have you noticed that when you go to sleep, your cat automatically heads to the foot of the bed and curls up by your feet? It's no mistake, and it's not your cat giving you the cold shoulder, either. This is a deliberate decision on your kitty's part, and there are many reasons why they might choose to sleep there instead of curling up on your stomach or by your shoulder. Actually, if your cat sleeps by your feet, you should take it as a compliment and feel flattered.

So, why do cats sleep at your feet? It's a mix of your cat's affection for you, a feeling of safety, and even the body heat you generate that plays into your cat's decision to sleep at the foot of the bed. It's both smart and sweet!
