APPA Makes Gift Recommendations Ahead of Holiday Season
The American Pet Products Association (APPA) is supporting its members with several gift recommendations ahead of the holiday season.
According to APPA’s 2019-2020 National Pet Owners Survey, 73 percent of dog owners and 62 percent of cat owners purchase gifts for their pet. That means more than one-third of dog owners and a quarter of cat owners will be adding their pets to their gift lists.
Pet owners can gift gourmet Gingerbread Dog Treats by Lord Jameson this holiday season. Inspired by a family recipe, they are made with a tasteful combination of all-natural plant based superfoods including organic ginger, gluten-free oats and roasted peanut butter. Dogs won’t be able to resist this holiday favorite. Plus, they are vegan.

It’s the perfect interactive toy for keeping dogs busily engaged in hide-and-seek play!
