Personalize these gifts for any pet parent – up to 25% off

By Julie Scagell November 20, 2020

2020 has been the year of the pet. We’ve been dealing with a global pandemic that has forced many of us to work from home, homeschool, and deal with one thousand uncertain conditions as a result. One of the few beacons of light has been our fur babies. They are always available, ready for a walk, and pretty happy for the time spent together. Why not memorialize this year with a positive memento?

Chewy is having an Early Cyber Savings Sale and it’s packed with personalized pet gifts sure to dazzle the pet lover in your life, and your pets as well. The online retail giant is discounting drinkware, frames, ornaments, and pet essentials. The best part? They are all available for adding a personal touch — be it their adorable face or moniker.

Chewy is selling plaid ornaments that can be personalized with your pet’s pretty face. It’s a perfect way to decorate your tree and capture their personality. According to the website, “When it’s time to trim the tree and fill your home with holiday cheer, don’t forget to celebrate the furriest of your family members. This paw print ornament is customizable with your favorite pet photo and personalized text, like their nickname or a cute saying that reminds you of them,” which is the perfect way to capture 2020.

If you need a gift for your pet’s grandparent, might I suggest the Personalized “Minimalistic Woof” White Coffee Mug. This perfectly-sized mug is just the right gift for any desk or morning nook to chug a cup of coffee and get ready to face the day. The ceramic mug is customizable with two photos of your choosing, which will be printed directly on the product. Download. Buy. Ship. Enjoy.

What would the holidays be like without a gift for your fur baby, themselves? These gorgeous plaid dog or cat bowls are the ideal personalized gift to leave them under the tree. Who has met an animal that doesn’t like meal time? These dishes can be made with your pet’s name or face on them, and, as someone who has two very territorial dogs, perhaps seeing their own faces on their food dishes would help with the meal-time drama.

Can you really call yourself an animal lover without wearing socks with their pictures on them? Chewy is discounting these Tribe Personalized Pet Face Socks that put the “FA” in “FA-LA-LA” this holiday season. They are adorned with pictures of your fur baby and are “extra special because they are sustainable and crafted from recycled yarns!” Plus, they’ll keep your tootsies warm all winter long, so the $20 price tag is a small price to pay.

If you really want to go all-out this holiday season, might I recommend this Personalized Plaid Sherpa Fleece Blanket. It’s 50x 60 inches of warmth and relaxation with a big photo of your pet on one side and “super cozy sherpa material on the other.” I call this present winning the always-cold, pet parent trifecta.

Bottom line? You will be the envy of all your animal-loving friends once you stock up. But please don’t delay. This sale only goes through November 24, and while supplies last. We all deserve to be happy this holiday season, and what better way than a personalized gift to warm the cockles of our heart?

Happy shopping!

5 totally normal reasons why your cat follows you to the bathroom

Why your cat finds your bathroom so interesting

You head into the bathroom to brush your teeth, take a shower, or use the toilet — but you're not alone. When you have cats, you almost always have company in the bathroom, whether you want it or not. It's not convenient, but it is pretty typical for many cats. While we might see this behavior as strange, it probably makes perfect sense to your cat.

You may wonder, "Why does my cat follow me to the bathroom?" But the truth is that there's no one-size-fits-all answer. In fact, there are four potential explanations. One or more may be factoring into your cat's habits and why you'll never be able to brush your teeth alone again. Don't worry--you'll get used to it if you haven't already!

Why do cats groom each other? Weird cat behavior explained

It's perfectly normal for cats to give others a bath

Grooming is a common behavior for cats, and chances are, your cat takes several baths a day to keep himself clean. Kitties are naturally fastidious, and that instinct serves their health and safety well. While many cats are thorough self-groomers, some enjoy having a little help every now and again and might groom fellow felines. If you're wondering, "Why do cats groom each other?" -- don't worry; this behavior is normal and even indicates that they are trusting and bonded with each other. If your pet engages in mutual grooming with another cat, you're seeing a natural behavior and a happy, secure cat.

Tuxedo cats: What you need to know about this black and white kitty

These pretty kitties come in all shapes and sizes

One of the best parts of picking out a new pet is deciding what color you want. You have a blank slate of almost endless possibilities for your fur baby's forever outfit. While we don't recommend selecting on coat alone, it can help to narrow down the kind of kitty you look for.

Some patterns only come along with specific breeds, but others exist across the spectrum, including the tuxedo. Any cat with a black and white motif can qualify as a tuxedo, though since it's not a breed, you'll see all sorts of variations. Here's what you need to know about bringing home tuxedo cats.
