8 Gifts for Your Pet This Chanukah
Jewish families will light the first menorah candle on the evening of December 12, the first night of Chanukah. They'll repeat the process for the next seven nights.
If you're a Jewish pet owner and will be celebrating Chanukah, chances are you will buy or already have bought your pet a present. According to the American Pet Products Association (APPA), half of all dog owners and nearly four in 10 cat owners buy their pet a holiday gift.
As far as what they spend on those gifts, the APPA says that dog lovers tend to spend more than cat lovers. That is, dog moms and dads spend, on average, $14 on their dog's holiday gift. Cat moms and dads spend just $12.
With eight crazy nights of Chanukah, you'll likely want to get a little something for each of those eight nights to give to your dog or cat. I can help.
I've put together a gift guide slideshow with eight different themed gift suggestions for both dogs and cats.
One last thing before you get to the gifts: Chanukah can be a dangerous holiday for pets, if you're not careful. Potato latkes often contain onions, which are toxic to dogs. And menorahs that use real candles could be a fire hazard, should a pet bump into it. So please keep your pets and their safety in mind as you get ready to celebrate the Festival of Lights starting on December 12.
Now, launch the gallery slideshow to check out these Chanukah gift ideas for Jewish pets.
