Holidays 2022: Survey reveals most pet owners give their dogs gifts
It’s beginning to look a lot like…the holiday season! Gift-giving season is coming at us head-on, and we couldn’t be more excited. Watching people’s reactions when they open a gift is awesome. Have you ever given your dog (or dogs) a Christmas present? Now those reactions are simply priceless!
Recently a study was done by Chewy, the dog food, toys, medicine, etc delivery service that is currently busy sweeping the country, did a survey on dog-owners and the holidays.
What the survey found didn’t personally shock me, but it might shock some of you…
Do you give your dogs gifts for the holidays? Share what their reactions are like!
If you’re a pet-owner, then you might have more than just humans on your list of ‘people’ to buy for! Yes, that’s right – you’re furry friends deserve to open something on Christmas morning too!
Chewy recently did a survey in which they asked all participants if they buy their pets gifts! Here were their findings that may or may not surprise you:
- 94 percent plan on shopping for their furry friends (dogs have the best reactions to gifts)
- 58 percent plan on buying 2 – 3 gifts (admittedly, this was 1 million percent me – even my boyfriend bought my dog at least 2 – 3 Christmas presents, and I love him even more for that)
- Some owners even admitted that their furry friends made the top of the list
- 65 percent admitted to buying their dogs gifts before any family members
- 58 percent plan on wrapping their pets’ gifts
- 87 percent plan on getting stockings to hold their pets’ gifts (I did both…sorry NOT sorry)
Giving a physical gift, such as a toy, wasn’t on the mind of all survey-takers from Chewy! Some pet-owners (one in three, to be exact) also shared that they plan on baking their furry friends some home-made treats!
In addition, let’s talk about decorations! Some pet-owners (one in four, to be exact) also shared that they plan on incorporating animals into their holiday decor themes this year!
Having trouble finding the perfect gifts, or just simply ran out of budget for your pals? Check out Chewy Claus! Chewy Claus is totally ready and fully prepared to spoil the s*** out of your dogs this year! Here’s how to enter such a fun little sweepstakes for your furry friends this year:
- Fill out your animal’s Christmas wish-list, along with a letter at the Chewy Claus website
From now until December 15th, Chewy Claus will be responding to hundred beyond hundred of letters and sending your most loved dogs and other pets some cool surprise gifts!
This will also benefit other dogs in need, as well as some furry friend-related charities as well!
