Why are we doing a guide for the best holiday gift ideas for pets and their owners? Because they are an important part on any family that has a pet. Not only does Dianne have Archie, all three of her sons have dogs as well. And Jen’s sister, Brittany has three cats and two dogs. Unfortunately for Jen, she is allergic or she’d have one too! So, I (Dianne) am taking on this gift guide!

I have a slight obession with the talking Corgis on Instagram, Hammy & Olivia. Their owner, Chirs, is so talented in creating the best videos. Unfortunately, Olivia passed away just a few weeks ago, but she lives on in things like this adorable book. All dog-safe treats and the cutest photos.
