Don't forgot to get something for your favorite feline or Fido. You still have an opportunity to indulge your precious pet in a healthy gift this year.
Consider, for instance, the organic cotton play and chew toys from Harry Barker, maker of haute canine accessories. "Cotton is one of the worst offenders when it comes to the use of pesticides and herbicides," owner Carol Perkins says. "We know it's better for the environment, and we figure it's better for the dogs, too."
Nancy Sheets, owner of Tails of the City in Snider Plaza, stocks one-of-a-kind finds, including leashes that beg pet owners to get moving with their dogs.
BRIGHT IDEA
Walking a dog in the dark becomes a little safer for both of you with the PupLight ($20), an ultrabright, wide-angle LED light that illuminates as far as 200 feet. The PupLight, which Secret Service agents reportedly use for their dogs, snaps onto collars and includes a fur guard so Spot won't feel the pinch. At Petco.
SAFETY FIRST
This first-aid kit ($22) for animals includes everything from eyewash to burn gel to help owners deal with a range of issues, including paw problems and cuts and scrapes. Tails of the City, 6819 Snider Plaza; 214-750-7602
THE NATURAL CHOICE
Tails will wag with glee at these all-natural toys (starting at $8) by Harry Barker made of organic cotton and hypoallergenic polyester fiberfill. The rope toys are free of harmful dyes and machine-washable. They promote dental health by encouraging "nondestructive chewing." www.harrybarker.com or 1-800-444-2779
FORGET THE DOGGY BAG
The Pet Travel Tainer ($15) is ideal for on-the-go pets and their people. The set includes a pair of bowls, one airtight container and lid, plus a carrying handle, making it ideal for toting kibble or treats and keeping everything neat and clean. The Container Store or www.containerstore.com
HAIR TALES
Brushing your dog, cat or even horse's undercoat becomes a breeze with the FURminator ($35-$60), a cool tool that de-sheds your four-legged pal in minutes. It works like any other brush, only far more effectively, so with a few strokes working from the head to the tail, loose hair is removed. At Petco, PetSmart and other specialty stores.
