Everybody likes to get into the spirit of the holidays, and that can include dogs too. With Halloween just around the corner (okay, it’s over a month away, but the candy is already in the stores, so it must be time to blog about it), you’ll doubtlessly be thinking of appropriate decorations.
One way to add a bit of Halloween cheer to the house is to have pet-approved holiday toys. Specifically, this plush pumpkin dog toy might be just the thing:
“This Halloween, surprise your dog with a new treat: the Pumpkin Plush Dog Toy! Featuring two cute, beady eyes, an adorable celery-colored stem and striking poppy colored body, this toy is the perfect treat for a trick! This toy’s fabric is made from 85% recycled IntelliLoft fibers and stuffed with IntelliLoft fiber fill, all derived from recycled plastic bottles so you and your dog will good about getting it.”
The stuffed pumpkin costs $12 from Wrapables.

If you’ve got an older dog who gets chilled easily, or the weather is just turning cold and Fido doesn’t like it, then perhaps you need to check into heated dog beds.
For example, the TheraBed heated pet bed provides “natural pain relief for aging and arthritic animals and soothing comfort for younger dogs.” It features comfortable looking orthopedic foam, a machine-washable micro-suede cover, and built-in bolsters to surround your dog and keep him warm.
The Flat Screen Heater keeps the bed evenly warmed at 102 degrees and plugs into any electrical outlet. There’s a pet-safe low-voltage system with electronic safety and temperature controls to prevent overheating (sounds better than the old electric blanket my mom used to have… that thing would scorch your toes if you hit it in the wrong spot).
The TheraBed is available in several sizes with prices starting at $80 for small dogs:

Are your ferrets bored in their cage? Do they need a new hangout to call their own? Do they like… zebra stripes?
If you answered yes to all of the above, perhaps you need to bring a zebra-striped ferret condo into your home.
It looks a bit like a cat tree, and ferrets should enjoy squirming through the holes. At the same time, it gives them a safe place to hide away inside.
And if you’re not crazy about those zebra stripes, you can get the condo in a more colorful paw print design. Neither of these ferret homes are exactly subtle though!
$25 from Thundering Tiger
