Christmas is almost here and while shoppers have, more likely than not, already picked up gifts for family and friends, there’s one important group that shouldn’t be forgotten: pets.
As members of the family, they also deserve to be surprised with a special gift on December 25. So whether it's a new toy, a bag of treats or a comfortable new bed, there are plenty of ways in which cat and dog owners can shop locally for their loved ones.
Crate and Barrel Middle East offers a black-and-white dog bed, while Dubai Pet Food has a jumbo cat scratcher – it's for not only scratching, but for lounging on, as well.
Happy Dolphin Pets in Dubai offer playthings for cats and dogs such as the popular Yeowww banana catnip toy, as well as a Kong power chewer, which can be filled with treats such as peanut butter.

However, if it’s a pet owner you’re specifically looking to impress, there are also plenty of gift options available.
Even though the pandemic has stopped many from travelling, picking up a gift certificate from The Pet Sitting Co Abu Dhabi is a helpful present for when travel resumes. The licensed pet-sitting company comes to your home and offers services such as pet feeding and dog walking.
Speaking of being away, a smart camera such as the Ezviz C6N could be a good idea. It's a Wi-Fi smart camera that also features two-way audio, ensuring pet parents are able to keep an eye on their felines or canines while out of the house.
For those with a bigger budget, any pet owner will tell you how important having a good vacuum is, and the Dyson V11 is one to consider. It captures 99.97 per cent of particles, meaning it'll get the job done when picking up stray hairs and dust.
