Date Added: December 24, 2008 07:01:05 AM

When you want to give a gift for a pet lover, don’t swamp them with the usual package of dog biscuits, treats, or the occasional grooming product. Now, is this all there is to give for your pet-loving friend or family member? C’mon, people, there are loads of other, more fun and more creative gifts to give! If you really want to give a special present this year, I’ve got some great ideas for you.

We're often prepared for an emergency involving people, but what about our pets? They, too, deserve some care and preparation in case they get into an accident, right? You can easily find first-aid kits for pets online, stocked with veterinarian-approved products and medications. These kits also come with booklets containing information about proper first-aid procedures.

If you know someone who loves pets and who’s also into arts and crafts, then you’ve found the perfect gift for him or her. Help your pet lover showcase her creativity and affection for her four-legged friend by giving a complete scrapbooking kit filled with all the materials needed to jumpstart an album.

Making a donation to charitable organizations specializing in animal protection and other related causes should endear you to your pet lover. Local humane societies are always in need of funds and items such as cat litter and bleach to help run their operations smoothly and effectively.

Have a pal with a new pup that just can't seem to get the hang of "sit" and "stay"? Are you lending a constant ear of sympathy to a friend whose pet is forever misbehaving? Do them a favor and give them a “full scholarship” to obedience school. Dog obedience lessons can cost from $100 to $150 for several weekly sessions. You can also get them some private lessons if it’s preferable.

Every special dog or cat needs some bling. There are several beautiful collars from a variety of materials to accessorize your pet or that of your friend, or you could just pick up some collar charms that come in all sorts of shapes, styles, and sizes that work just fine.

Knitting pattern books can give your needle-wielding friend a plethora of project ideas, from beds, carrying baskets and cases, toys, etc. to create some masterpieces that celebrate the affection and bond between human and pet.

Nowadays, pets need to de-stress too. And what better way to de-stress than to treat them at a relaxing and comfortable day at the spa? There they can be groomed, cleaned, and relaxed to their hearts’ content. Grooming will cost around $30 to $40, depending on the size and fur length of the pet. They can even enjoy luxurious options and similar perks at a few luxury establishments.
