I started fostering Kilo the Pug 3 years ago. He is my baby and probably a little bit spoilt (my husband and kids are laughing at the understatement). We celebrate Christmas and I enjoy giving him gifts, but I do not want to waste time and money buying gifts he does not need this year. When Jodi from Kohl’s Notes told me about the idea of picking only “4 Gifts for Pets” adapted from the similar concept for kids, it really appealed to me. You choose something they want, something they need, something to wear and something to read (or in the case of Kilo who can not read much, something to Eat). It made me really think about what Kilo wants and needs and what I can afford.
Plus I loved the idea of joining with Kohl’s Notes and a group of other awesome bloggers to share the 4 Gifts concept, some great gift ideas and some great prizes.
What 4 Fabulous Gifts Did I Choose For Kilo?
It was hard to narrow down, especially the Want and Eat. Of course Kilo is a Pug, so for him Eating and Playing are his priorities in life. He always wants and needs treats, chews and new toys and games.
WANT: The CleverPet Hub.
I really want to try this electronic dog puzzle. It’s like a game consul for dogs with different levels. It looks great fun and great stimulation and it gives treats. The Kohl’s Notes crew give it a big paws up. I know Kilo would love it so it is top of the list. You can see a video here.
CleverPet Hub – Exercise Your Pet’s Mind + Body
NEED: The Furbo
I received one to try for free and love it. It not only lets me see and talk to Kilo while I am travelling, but I can throw him treats so he loves it too – see full review here. Every dog needs one of these. You can buy one through my link at a discount:
WEAR: New Harness
Kilo is hard to buy for because of his shape. He pulls on walks and wriggles out of some harnesses. He had a red Buddy Belt which I liked but it only lasted 18 months and was rather expensive. I just bought this Kurgo one which fits well at a charity auction for the Toronto Humane Society – WIN WIN. I may also try the Sleepy Pod safety-tested ones. You can buy a Kurgo one through my link today:
EAT: Bullwrinkles Bully Sticks
These delicious healthy chews are produced locally near Toronto and we can never have too many LOL. I have worked with the company on our Rescues Rock project, at various events and on giveaways. We often receive Bullwrinkles and Treats from them for free. Kilo absolutely LOVES them and I love the benefits and the company.
