Valentine’s day, Friendship day, birthdays,
New Year – so many special occasion, so
many opportunities to make your loved
ones feel extra special. No, this is not to
remind you of your family and friends. Take
a look at that cute little puppy trying to
grab your attention. Lets not forget about
our beloved companions that fulfil our
otherwise lonely lives with warmth and
care. Is it your diva cat’s birthday
tomorrow? International Pet Day coming
next week? Check out some gift ideas and
gather inspiration to make their day special!
Diamonds are forever and so is your
fondness towards your beloved compan-
ion. If money is not a problem then why not
buy a diamond collar or a studded neck-
lace to express your love? occasion and is easily available in every
pet store. If you wish to award extra
brownie points for your well-behaved
comrade by sharing some pet friendly
sweeties then go ahead. However, sweep
away any traces of sugar free treats and
most importantly: chocolate. The sweet
whiff may be tempting for your pet,
however it could result in an unwanted trip
to the vet. Xylitol is the core ingredient in
sugar free treats that is pure poison for
animals (dogs in particular) as it induces
vomiting, seizures and in worst-case
scenarios - liver failure. Chocolate contains
Theobromine (a close relative of caffeine
that is never up to any good) that affects
blood pressure, the digestive and
cardiovascular system. It is advisable to
learn about CPR just in case a pet
accidently ingests some sweets and goes
into cardiac arrest.
Fragrance Customised Accessories And Outfits
Want to maintain the post-grooming
wonderful freshly-out-of-the-bath smell for
longer? Invest in an Eau de Parfum or body
spray that will maintain the ‘freshness’ in
your pet’s coat. Buying regular accessories like pet tags, col-
lars, blankets, pillows are a thing of the past.
The latest trend is to customise
everything as per one’s taste and style. This
way, a simple present will feel extra special
and thoughtful. Look out for stores that
allow customisation of bowls, tags,
blankets, pillows and many other similar
accessories. If you are a fashionista, then
go for a ‘couples outfit’. Just like how
