For Many, Shopping for the Holidays Means Shopping for Pets Too!

Author: Jennifer Vickery, Fetching Communications


Holiday shopping can be a great deal of fun as we try to find the perfect gifts for all of our loved ones. Many people are including their pets in their holiday shopping lists too.

For many, pets are our ?‘furry kids! It is amazing to learn that 63% of U.S. households own a pet, according to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association (APPMA). This means, there will be lots of holiday shopping to do for us pet owners.

With many gifts out there for pets, we thought we?’d highlight a few. For example, if you?’re looking for luxury pet items such as custom collars or beds, purrrfect accessories or gifts for your pet of any size, look no further. You will want to stop at the pet destination and canine lifestyle boutique, Downtown Dogs in Hyde Park Village, South Tampa. You can contact them at (813) 250-3647 or visit www.shopdowntowndogs.com.
There you will find the right holiday accessories for your pooch and maybe even some surprises, including spa treatments for your pet and new and official sports gear for your furry fanatic!

Now, if you?’re a health-nut and your pet is too, then you might consider Snip N?’ Chip from the Animal Coalition of Tampa (ACT). Snip N?’ Chip is a great gift for your pet or even a friend?’s pet. This gift will provide low-cost spay or neuter ($40-$95) with free microchipping! If your pet has already been ?‘snipped?’, then you might give the gift of getting them ?‘chipped?’. Microchipping will be available for $20 from ACT for this holiday season. ACT is a non-profit group dedicated to spay/neuter, so who better to get your Snip N?’ Chip gift certificate from! You may contact them at (813) 250-3900 or visit them at www.actampa.org.

Last, don?’t forget about getting a gift certificate to your local shelter, such as the SPCA Tampa Bay if you or a loved one is considering adopting a new pet. To find out more information about the SPCA, visit www.spcatampabay.org or call (727) 586-3591.

Remember, holidays are about giving?…make sure you give the priceless gift of love for your pet too.
