Honorable mentions

Before you buy

Ask for the pet's name before you shop. A card "from" the pet, or a gift with the pet's name on it, gets a bigger reaction than anything on this list.

If the gift is for the pet itself, check our pet toy lists. But honestly, pet people love gifts that celebrate their pet even more than toys for it.
