Greenwich, CT (PRWEB) August 16, 2016 -- According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA) National Pet Owners Survey, more than 50 percent of dog owners and 38 percent of cat owners buy their pets gifts for Christmas or Chanukah. However spending on the four-legged family members is not quite equal across all generations. On average, Generation Y spends nearly twice as much per gift ($23.50) compared to Builders ($11.50), Gen X ($12.89) and Baby Boomers, who spend the least on gifts for dogs. Regardless of budget, that’s a potential of 39 million dogs and 32 million cats making holiday lists this year. To help make preparation easier for all pet gift givers, APPA has found some great options for cats, dogs and their human companions this holiday season, and they are all under $25.

Everyone loves a good treat and Einstein Pets’ Santa’s Helper Cookies will make any dog drool this holiday. These all-natural, corn, soy and wheat-free biscuits are made with turkey, bacon, sweet potatoes, cranberries, cinnamon, chia seed, peas, honey and oat flour. Now pets can be rewarded with delicious wholesome nutrition that won’t make them gain the holiday weight.
Price: $10.99
