The Best Christmas Gifts For Pets & Pet Owners | Holiday Gift Guide 2020

We're rolling out more picks on our list of gift ideas for the 2020 holiday season. Next up, 43 of the best gifts for pets and pet owners!

Your dog or cat is a member of the family, after all, and we know you'll take any opportunity to spoil your furry loved ones. We've got ideas ranging from stocking stuffers, like yummy treats and festive toys, to bigger gifts that will last — like cozy pet beds. Plus, finds that will make life easier for you as a pet owner — including a placemat with raised edges for less mess at meal times, and a hidden litter box that looks like a potted plant.

Read on for all the picks from our editors, show staff — and some of Rachael's favorites for her pup, Bella Boo Blue!
