It’s gift giving season! Many of you likely want to include your best furry friends in the gift giving traditions. So, what do you give them? It’s easy to give toys, chew bones, or treats. But, what about doctor recommended stocking stuffers? They can be fun, too!

Did your mom give you a new toothbrush, toothpaste, and floss in your stocking when you were young? Mine did! And you can do the same thing for your pets. This is the perfect time of year to think of your pets’ dental health! Dental chews, dental wipes, and dental water additives make great stocking stuffers that will directly improve the health and well-being of your pet. It will also improve the smell of the kisses they give you, too!

What about the gift of being free of internal and external parasites for your pets? Purchasing prescription grade preventatives from your veterinarian will help your pets stay happy and healthy all year long. It will also keep your home protected from unwanted critters, too!

What about for anxious pets that need some comfort this holiday season? How about pheromone sprays and diffusers like Feliway and Adaptil to help calm their nerves? Both are documented to help calm stress in the household for cats and dogs.

Now, you might be panicking that it’s days before Christmas and there’s no way to get these products into your pets’ stockings. Well, you’re in luck! Most veterinary practices are open all week, including partial days on Christmas Eve! Give them a call and tell them you want to give the gift of good health to your pets this year. Purchasing products from your local veterinarian also supports the staff and doctors that work tirelessly all year taking care of your pets.
