Do you buy presents for your pets at Christmas?

We always try to buy something for our dog at Christmas because he is part of the family too. Usually we fill a small gift bag with a new toy and some treats. He is so funny, he sticks his head (a boxer) all the way in the bag and pulls out everything one item at a time. My son thinks it is the funniest thing. Do you buy your pets presents?

we have always bought our animals stuff for christmas. like new toys and treats for the cats, something to chew on for the dogs, treats or halters or blankets for the horses, and my bird always got something yummy or colorful to chew on too.

Yes. I wrap gifts for my dog but she doesn't try to open them. I should wrap them Christmas Day without the packaging. Perhaps she would sniff it out better that way.

We just have one dog, her name is Coco and yes every year we have bought her Christmas presents. She has her own bone shaped stocking that we hang over the fireplace with the kids and it gets stuffed just like the kids and then we also buy her a few toys or bones that we wrap and put under the tree. She seems to really understand the whole Christmas concepts because when the kids hand her gifts from under the tree she takes it into her own little space and tries to tear it open with her paw but she never fully gets it open and we always have to open it for it and then she tries to drag her stocking around until her goodies fall out..it is so funny.

My dog has his own stocking, it is quite big to fit bones and balls and I always fill it with little treats for him to open Christmas morning. He also always has presents under the tree, not only from me but also from family and friends. He is just as spoiled as any child when it comes to presents for Christmas

That is so cute that uyour boxer takes them out one at a time. My mom always bought christmas gifts for our dogs and they always seemed to like it. Now that I have started a family and have my own pets (3 dogs), I would probably buy gifts for my dogs if my mom wasn't buying them gifts now too.
