The 12 (Dog) Days of Christmas Part 1

HAPPY HOWLIDAYS from Santa Paws and The Hip Hound Team! 

It’s that time of year again, and gifting is under way! But don’t worry – we took all the thinking out of gifting for your pets, so you can spend more time with your entire family this holiday season. We put together a list of our top 12 treats & toys for your pup, and why we love each one!

Here are the first 6 days of our 12 Dog Days of Christmas:

Day 1 Every dog will love an Uncle Larry’s treat and the West Paw Dash Frisbee!

Here’s why we love Uncle Larry’s treats: 100% meat treats are quickly becoming every pup’s favorite! Your pup will be good all year long knowing they have Uncle Larry’s treats to look forward to. Made here in Portland, OR!

And why we love the West Paw’s DASH Frisbee: Made from recycled rubber and in Montana, this is a wonderful outdoor toy! Not to mention it’s guaranteed!

Day 2 Every dog will love their Himalayan Dog Chews treat and the West Paw Jive!

Here’s why we love Himalayan Dog Chew’s treats: They are wonderfully long-lasting and time-occupying. Which never hurts when you’ve got a very excited pup and lots of holiday guests, ;)

And why we love the West Paw’s Jive Ball: Made from recycled rubber and in Montana, this is a wonderful, durable outdoor toy! Not to mention it’s guaranteed!

Day 3 Every dog will love their Orijen treats and the Chuck It!

Here’s why we love Orijen’s treats: Freeze-dried deliciousness! The 100% freeze-dried treats are the perfect training treat, or just every day reward!

And why we love the Chuck It: If you’ve got a dog who loves to run, then you should already have this awesome ball launcher! It’s the perfect companion to your days at the park, especially if you experience an extra slobbery tennis ball the more you throw it!

Day 4 Every dog will love their Stella & Chewy’s treats and the Zippy Paws Donutz!

Here’s why we love Stella & Chewy’s treats: Just like the Orijen treats, these freeze-dried meat treats are super high reward for every dog (or cat!) in your family! We love how soft they are, so you can break them up for your tiny puppies or even for your senior pup!

And why we love the Donutz: Everybody loves donuts, even your pup! Check out the fun, colorful options Zippy Paws has come up with – they won’t disappoint!

Day 5 Every dog will love their Vital Essentials treats and the Canine Hardware Balls!

Here’s why we love Vital Essentials treats: If your pup isn’t the biggest fan of the soft treats, these might be just what you’re looking for. A crunchy, yet wholesome option, the VE treats are 100% freeze-dried meats. Period. No additives or extra ‘fillers’, just the meat!

And why we love the Ball packs: Yes, a Chuck It launcher is a great gift, but what about when you accidentally launch the ball across the park and into a pond? If you don’t have Bentley, there’s a slight chance you won’t get that ball back – so head over to the Canine Hardware page and you’ll find some awesome replacement options! **Our favorite is the Ultraball, Bentley tested, Theo approved

Day 6 Every dog will love their Natural Dog Company bullies and the Lampchop stuffed toy!

Here’s why we love The Natural Dog Co: Sure bully sticks are known to be the superior alternative to a raw hide treat because they are 100% digestible, but did you know that not every bully stick is created equally? At the Hip Hound, we don’t like the stinky bullies, no matter how long they can keep Theo’s attention! The Natural Dog Co, as well as every brand of bully sticks we carry, are all double cleaned – inside and out! Making them ODOR FREE!

And why we love the Lambchop toys: Lamb Chop has been around for quite some time, and it seems that lately her biggest fans are of the four-legged variety. A super soft plush toy, the Lambchop is great as a puppy pillow! Or just a run of the mill chew toy..depends on your dog’s style.

Check back next week for the final 6 Dog Days of Christmas! And don't forget - all of these gift ideas are 25% off this holiday season!!
