A Gift For The Gourmand

Happy Dog of Cape Cod Elk Antler

For the food snob regular biscuits simply will not do. Happy Dog of Cape Cod Elk Antler provides a healthy, natural and environmentally friendly alternative. Elk shed their antlers every year, leaving behind a great natural source of calcium, phosphorus, potassium and many other nutrients. What says doggie culinary experience more than antlers harvested fresh from the forest floor and served to your doorstep?

Flea and Tick Medication

advantixIf your dog is the rare breed that doesn’t tear up the newspaper when grabbing it, but lays it out nicely, separating the business section for you, and has a pile of untouched chew toys in the corner, then maybe your dog wants a more responsible holiday gift. Still, a good dog deserves more than a lump of coal, so treat your pet to something practical. A good flea medicine is the gift that keeps on giving by ensuring that your dog remains pest-free and doesn’t have to suffer the discomfort and health risks of having fleas, ticks and other pests. Read up on our full selection of flea and tick medications to find the one that suits your dog.

For The Doggie Fashionista

Dog Gone Smart Quilt Jacket

You know what we mean: a healthy, shiny coat, clean and well-brushed, and an accessory to pull the look together. To get your dog noticed make their gift a beauty package. Omega-3 Fish Oil Supplements enhance the sheen of your dog’s coat while PawGanics Foaming Shampoo for Dogs is a natural shampoo that ensures the softest, smoothest coat. Finally, accent your dog’s beautiful fur with a Dog Gone Smart Quilt Jacket to keep your pet warm and fashionable for many winters to come.
