(Because our pets deserve more than another squeaky toy that dies on a holiday morning.)

It’s that magical time of year again — twinkly lights, fuzzy socks, and the annual quest to find the perfect gift for every creature you love… including the furry ones who already have it all.

Whether your dog is a foodie, your cat’s a diva, or you’re shopping for the world’s most obsessed pet parent (hi, we see you), we’ve rounded up the best holiday gifts for dogs and cats in 2025 — handpicked by Grandma Lucy’s, where pets are family, and “treat yourself” applies to four legs too.

Gifts for Foodies: For Pets Who Think Every Meal Is Fine Dining

Because you know that one dog who savors every bite like they’re at a Michelin-star restaurant (and that one cat who acts like she’s above dry kibble).

Grandma Lucy’s Freeze-Dried Treats
Because some dogs are just too classy for mystery meat, Grandma Lucy’s Singles Treats deliver pure, single-ingredient perfection worthy of a white tablecloth and a paw-shaped napkin.

Grandma Lucy’s Artisan & Macanna Meals

If your dog’s holiday wish list says “clean ingredients and convenience,” you’re looking at their new favorite dinner. Just add warm water to Grandma Lucy’s Artisan & Macanna Meals for a hearty, freeze-dried feast that’ll make you question why human food isn’t this wholesome.

Sodapup Lick Mats

Perfect for spreading Grandma Lucy’s treats or rehydrated meals, try gifting with Sodapup Lick Mat. Keeps them busy and blissful.


Pottery Barn Ceramic Pet Food Bowls
Try feeding in style this new year with Pottery Barn's Ceramic Pet Food Bowls because presentation matters (ask your cat).

Tall Tails Foraging Mat
Make mealtime a game of hide-and-treat with the Tall Tails Foraging Mat — a silicone slow feeder that turns dinner into a delicious puzzle. Designed to promote better digestion and mindful munching, it’s perfect for spreading your dog’s favorite foods (hello, Grandma Lucy’s treats!) while the skid-resistant base keeps even the most enthusiastic eaters in check. Because wellness isn’t just about what’s in the bowl — it’s about keeping tails wagging and minds working.

Brightkins Treat Dispensers
Turn snack time into a fun brain game with Brightkins Treat Dispensers — let your dog sniff, paw, and wobble their way to tasty rewards while enjoying mental enrichment equal to a one-hour walk.

West Paw Toppl
A fan-favorite for good reason — the West Paw Toppl turns treat time into a creative (and drool-worthy) activity. Fill it with Grandma Lucy’s rehydrated meals or treats, then top it off with yogurt, fruit, or a festive drizzle for an Instagram-worthy pup parfait. Decorating these has become a trend of its own — and trust us, dogs are here for it.

Gifts for Snugglers: Cozy Comforts for Naps & Netflix Nights

Not every pet is an adventurer. Some prefer the finer things — like napping through “Elf” for the 12th time.

Best Friends by Sherri Calming Dog Bed
Soft, squishy, and scientifically proven to make pets melt into a puddle of happiness. If this sounds like doggy heaven, then a Calming Dog Bed might be in your gifting future.  (Bonus points if it matches your couch aesthetic.)

Pet House Candles
Give your home (and nose) a treat with One Fur All Pet Candles — pet-safe, odor-eliminating candles that make every room smell like “happy holidays” instead of “wet dog.” With seasonal scents and clean ingredients, they’re the perfect cozy gift for pet parents who love their animals... just not the smell of them.

The Green Pet Shop Heated Cat Bed
For the cat who thinks you’re their personal space heater. These cozy mats from Green Pet make the purrfect winter upgrade.

Grandma Lucy’s Top It
A delicious and nutritious addition worthy of any stocking. Grandma Lucy's Top It can be a magical sprinkle on top of their favorite food or add some warm water to make your pet a Holiday Hot Toddy.

Gifts for Adventurers: For the Trail-Trotters & Backyard Explorers

For the dogs who can’t hear you call their name but can hear a treat bag crinkle from a mile away.

Grandma Lucy’s 3 Bears
Whether they’re scaling mountains or just pretending the backyard is Everest, Grandma Lucy’s 3 Bears gives adventure dogs the balanced, freeze-dried fuel they need to keep tails wagging from trailhead to tent.

Lucy & Co Hands-Free Leash
Because who doesn't love a Lucy?! We know that juggling a leash, a coffee, and your dignity is a lot easier when you’ve got both hands free. 

Mighty Paws Collapsible Travel Water Bottle
Keep your adventure buddy hydrated anywhere with the Mighty Paws Collapsible Travel Water Bottle — a practical, lightweight lifesaver that makes refueling on hikes, road trips, and park days clean, easy, and totally spill-free.

Ruffwear High Visibility Gear
Light up your evening adventures with Ruffwear High Visibility Gear — from The Beacon Safety Light to reflective harnesses that keep your pup shining bright and strutting safely, even after dark.

Gifts for Pet Parents: Because We Deserve Treats Too

Sure, it’s about the pets — but we know who’s really funding the toy obsession.

Stocking Stuffers Under $20: Small Gifts, Big Tail Wags

The perfect little somethings that say “I love you, and I know you drool in your sleep.”

Grandma Lucy’s 1lb Bags
Perfectly sized for stockings (and spontaneous food emergencies), Grandma Lucy’s 1lb Bags are the grab-and-go solution for travel, last-minute meals, or “oops, I forgot to defrost dinner” kind of days.

Yak 9 Milk Chews
Give your dog the gift of guilt-free chewing with Yak-9 Chews — handcrafted in the Himalayas from 100% yak milk for a long-lasting, protein-packed treat that supports healthy teeth, satisfies natural chew instincts, and smells good enough to make you jealous (and your slippers deserve a break).

Blue Q Catnip Toys
Say goodbye to catnaps and hello to chaos (the fun kind) with the Blue Q Catnip Toy — a cheeky, 100% cotton pouch packed with premium organic catnip that turns lazy afternoons into full-on zoomie sessions.

Herban Essentials Dog Towelettes
Because dogs deserve spa days too — Herban Essentials Dog Towelettes make cleanup calm, quick, and blissfully easy. Infused with real lavender essential oil and made from just four gentle ingredients, these soothing wipes turn muddy paws and messy fur into moments of clean, calming care.
