  1. 1Ruffwear Front Range HarnessRuffwear Front Range HarnessThe upgrade most dog owners put off for years. A good harness is used twice a day, every day, and the Front Range gets the details right: a V-ring on the back for ordinary walks, a second attachment at the chest that helps steer a dog who pulls, and a little pocket that keeps tags tucked out of the…0
  2. 2Ruffwear Treat TraderRuffwear Treat TraderA present for the owner's pockets, which are currently full of crumbs. The Treat Trader opens with a tug on a tab and snaps shut on a magnet, so it can be reached one-handed with a leash in the other hand, and it clips straight onto a waistband or rides on its own adjustable belt. It suits anyone…0
  3. 3KONG ClassicKONG ClassicThe safe bet for any dog you have never met. The red rubber snowman bounces unpredictably when thrown, but its real value is the hollow middle: stuff it with kibble and a smear of peanut butter and an ordinary chew becomes a puzzle that buys the owner a quiet half hour. It also survives the…0
  4. 4Nina Ottosson Dog TornadoNina Ottosson Dog TornadoA puzzle for the clever dog who has already solved the KONG. Stacked layers swivel around a central post to reveal treats hidden in compartments, and bone-shaped covers add a second step once the dog has the basic idea. Nina Ottosson rates it Level 2, the intermediate tier, so it suits a dog with a…0
  5. 5Embark Breed + Health KitEmbark Breed + Health KitThe answer to the question every rescue owner gets asked at the park: what is he? Embark's Breed + Health test works from a cheek swab, and the company says it checks against more than 400 breeds, types and varieties and screens for more than 270 genetic health conditions. It also matches dogs with…0
  6. 6Furbo 360° Dog CameraFurbo 360° Dog CameraThe splurge for a dog owner who feels guilty every time they leave for work. The camera sits on a shelf, turns to follow the dog around the room and lets the owner check in from a phone, talk through the speaker and toss a treat on command. The treat toss is the part that makes it a gift rather…0
  7. 7Go Cat Da BirdGo Cat Da BirdThe cat toy that gets even lazy indoor cats off the couch. The feathers hang from a long string on a wand of about 36 inches, and when swished through the air they spin and flutter like a real bird, which is far more convincing to a cat than a toy mouse lying on the floor. It is also a gift for…0
  8. 8SmartCat Ultimate Scratching PostSmartCat Ultimate Scratching PostThe gift that saves the sofa. Most cheap scratching posts fail in one of two ways: too short for a cat to stretch out fully, or so flimsy they wobble and the cat gives up. This one fixes both, with a 32-inch post wrapped in tough sisal on a sturdy 16 by 16 inch base that is built not to tip or…0
  9. 9Catit Flower FountainCatit Flower FountainFor the cat who ignores a still water bowl but sits by the faucet waiting for a drip. Moving water tempts a lot of fussy drinkers, and the flower top can be set three ways: a gentle flow, a bubbling top or little streams, so the owner can find the one their cat prefers. It is a genuinely useful…0
  10. 10LickiMat Classic BuddyLickiMat Classic BuddyThe cheapest gift here and one of the most used, by dogs and cats alike. The square rubber mat is covered in a grid of raised crosses: spread on wet food, yogurt or a thin layer of something sticky and the pet has to lick it out slowly instead of inhaling it in seconds. Freeze it first and the job…0
