Your pets are your companions, your confidantes, and, let's face it, your best friends. And while providing food and belly rubs sure is nice, if you really want to show your furry friends how much you love them, including them on your holiday shopping list is a great place to start.


Instead of doling out some extra treats this year while the rest of the family opens their gifts, get your four-legged pals in on the act. With that in mind, we've rounded up the most adorable gifts for your pet on the market, each guaranteed to elicit more tail-wagging and cuddles than you know what to do with.
