πΆ Dog Toys & Treats
For the goodest boys and girls: squeaky plush toys, two advent calendars (one toys, one treats β I couldn't pick), and stocking-priced treats from $1.48 up. Countdown season starts December 1, so order the advents early.
Β
Three holiday Loofa dogs for $9.97 β the long floppy squeaky toy every dog I know drags around like a trophy. Multipet quality, festive prints, and a 3-pack means one for now and two for the stocking.
