Our Top Picks from the Christmas Range
If you want a slightly more substantial gift that is still budget-friendly but feels like a main Christmas present, there are several standout products in our seasonal selection for dogs and cats.
Dog gift ideas include the Kong Holiday Goodie Bone. This festive version of the classic KONG chew toy is made from durable natural rubber and includes the signature Goodie Gripper openings. These allow you to stuff the bone with treats or peanut butter, creating a mentally stimulating activity that keeps dogs engaged. The printed holiday bow adds a seasonal touch, making it one of the most popular Christmas gifts for interactive play and long-lasting chewing.
For dogs who enjoy treats with a high-protein profile, the Kazoo Prime Cuts Xmas Chicken Cracker is a festive option made from real chicken. With no added artificial ingredients, it offers a wholesome and flavour-focused snack that feels special without being unhealthy. It works well as a stocking stuffer or Christmas Eve reward.
If you want a way to present all your dog’s gifts, the KONG Paw Stocking is a fun and practical choice. The plush red-and-white paw-print design hangs easily from a tree or mantle, and the roomy interior can hold toys, treats or accessories. The soft pom-poms add a playful touch that appeals to cats as well, making it suitable for homes with multiple pets.
For active dogs, the KONG Holiday SqueakAir Balls are a festive take on the classic tennis ball. The non-abrasive material is gentle on teeth, and each ball includes a built-in squeaker to keep dogs excited during play. The balls come in three seasonal designs, making them perfect for games of fetch throughout December.
Cat owners have excellent Christmas options too. The Kazoo Christmas Kitty Santa Wand is a highly interactive teaser toy with multiple attachments and fluttering ribbons designed to spark your cat’s hunting instincts. It brings movement, noise and variety, making it perfect for indoor play during the festive season.
Another standout is the Kazoo Christmas Tree Cardboard Scratcher. This clever two-in-one design includes a pop-up scratcher combined with a built-in ball game. Made from durable double-walled cardboard, it gives cats a place to scratch, bat and explore, while the Christmas tree theme adds a fun decorative touch to your home.
Budget-Friendly Gift Ideas That Pets Will Actually Use
When choosing affordable gifts for pets, consider items that combine fun with function. Dogs appreciate treats with variety, textures that encourage healthy chewing, and toys that keep their minds active. This is why the Blackdog Stocking and the Kong Goodie Bone remain popular year after year. Cats, on the other hand, often prefer movement, sound and textures, which is why teaser wands and scratchers consistently rank among the most enjoyed gifts.
Seasonal accessories such as bandanas and hats offer quick, affordable ways to bring your pets into Christmas photos without requiring a big spend. Meanwhile, themed cookies and treats create small but memorable moments, especially when shared during family celebrations. Small animals should not be forgotten either. Chew toys, natural treats and enrichment items are always appreciated.
Celebrating Christmas with your pets does not need to be expensive. With so many quality options under ten dollars, along with standout gifts from trusted brands like KONG, Kazoo and Fuzzyard, it is easy to create a special and memorable holiday for every pet in your home. These budget-friendly picks offer a balance of enrichment, fun, practicality and festive flair, ensuring your pets receive gifts they will genuinely enjoy.
