Poll: Will Santa Visit Your Pet This Year?

Christmas cats and Hanukkah hounds — holiday shopping for pets seems to be reaching new heights. Take our poll, and use the comments section to tell us more about what you plan to buy for the furry, feathered or finny members of your family.

 

Once upon a time, a holiday gift for your pet meant a chewy pig's ear or a new catnip mouse. Now store shelves overflow with seasonal goodies: dog biscuits in holiday shapes, cozy cold-weather coats, Santa hats.

And the treats aren't only for Christmas. We're seeing dreidl-shaped chew toys and even doggie yarmulkes in pet stores this year.
