There are few things more adorable than a dog in a hoodie, and MeUndies has some of the most fabulous options we've seen. They're made with absurdly soft MicroModal, which sustainably comes from trees, and a front zipper makes it easy to wear, while a buttonhole in the back makes it possible for wear during walks. We can't get enough of this pink The Simpsons pattern, but they have all kinds of styles to suit the person (and dog) you're gifting to.

No one wants their cat to get into extra trouble because they're bored, and Cat Amazing's unique cardboard mazes for cats are just the thing to keep them engaged and enriched for hours on end. Treats or food are put inside of its three levels and 27 sections to exercise cats' bodies as well as minds as they "hunt" for their meals, while slowing down eating also helps digestion.

laēlap Starla Personalized Necklace: $75+
For anyone who wants their pet to always be the most stylish lady in the room, there are laēlap's stunning personalized necklaces.

The bracelets are shockingly sturdy, and there's even an attachment piece available for bigger dogs—and a human version in case the pet parent would definitely want to match.

WHIMZEES by Wellness Brushzees: Find Near You
While it's recommended that a dog's teeth are brushed twice a day, we don't know anyone who gets even close to that. Thankfully, dental treats can help, and dogs find Brushzees from WHIMZEES impossible to resist. They're designed with unique grooves and ridges to remove plaque and tartar as the dog chews—and they think they're just getting a special snack.
