Need some great gift ideas for Fido? How about some that also give back to those in need? Now that’s a win-win! Keep reading for some awesome K9 gift ideas that also pay it forward.
K9 Gifts: Treats
Let’s be honest, dogs can never have enough treats! Whether they are treats used for training or just a yummy treat after a walk or dinner, dog treats are a constant staple in every dog parent’s home! Let’s look at a couple of great options below.
Wagster Dog Treats
Here’s a great organization to support this holiday season that supports their community in special, life-changing ways! Meet Wagster Dog Treats! Wagster is committed to helping people move out of homelessness through Homeward Bound of Marin. This award-winning non-profit helps homeless adults and low-income people gain valuable employment skills for a stable and secure future like Angel featured on the right.
In addition, the Wagster Treats only have healthy, natural and human-grade ingredients for the best gourmet dog treats! Ingredients you’ll recognize and no preservatives.
