Best Gift Ideas For Your Pets

The holidays are officially upon us, which means it’s time for the annual dash of gift-buying, gift-giving, and gift-exchanging. There are the regular gifts for family, friends, and coworkers, but for pet owners, there may be one extra special present to throw into the mix. Our pet door installation experts are excited to share some of our favorite gift ideas to include your pet in the holiday cheer.

A New Toy

Every pet owner knows that pets can chew their way through toys in the blink of an eye, so it’s always a safe choice to get them a new toy (or a few) for the holidays. Pet toys generally fall into three categories: comfort, distraction/learning, and interaction. Toys for comfort are those soft, cuddly toys that will help soothe them, or simply for them to shake and carry around with them. Toys for distraction/learning are more complex toys for when you can’t play with them or if you want to keep them distracted from what’s going on around them. Chew toys and puzzle toys are ideal for both distraction and to get your pet’s mind working as they figure them out, especially if they can be filled with treats to keep them zeroed in. Interaction toys require your participation too; frisbees, balls, and ropes allow you to spend one-on-one time with your pet as you play together.

A Pet Bed

If your pet has outgrown their current bed, gifting them the perfect pet bed for Christmas is the perfect way to provide them with some extra comfort and love. The wants and needs of your pet in regards to their bed change just as much as humans’ do, both between breeds and over time; there is no “one size fits all”. There are hundreds of different beds on the market that cater to every possible specification you could think of for your pet. Orthopedic beds for pets with joint problems, beds designed to cool down or warm up your pet, sturdy beds to withstand chewing and scratching, various sizes for different breeds, beds with easy to clean covers, etc. With a little searching, you’ll easily find the best pet bed for your pet.

Delicious Treats

Sometimes the best gift you can give to your pet isn’t physical objects, but rather something delicious to eat! Whether you buy a special holiday snack from the store or make a yummy homemade treat, your pet will be sure to adore it. Just be mindful of how many calories your pet will get from these treats per day. It can be easy to accidentally overdo it with how many you give them, but treats should only make up about 10% of your pet’s diet. And if you’re indecisive about what types of treats and toys you should get for your pet, give a pet-centered subscription box a chance!

Sure, does your pet really need a Christmas present? Some people would say probably not, but if you’re looking to go the extra mile to show love for your pet, a Christmas present specially tailored for them is a perfect way! Do you have any questions? Another present perfectly fit for your beloved dog or cat is the gift of a pet door installation. Contact Glass Pet Doors to discuss installing a custom pet door today!

What Our Customers Say

  • Lisa Jensen
    Can't say enough good about working with Trevor at Utah Pet Access to have a dog door installed at my mother's home. Very knowledgeable and professional. Thank you!
  • Michael Riggs
    Installed a large pet door at my house. They did a great job, despite the fact that my back door's decoration made it complex. I am very satisfied. Thank you!
  • Amy Romney
    Utah Pet Access was great to work with. They were very responsive. The bid and install guys both showed up on time for their appointments. They both explained everything in detail and were very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!
  • Jake Buxton
    Easily the best in the biz! There's another rag tag outfit running around using inferior product and the finished product from Utah Pet Access is far better looking. Almost as if the door came from the factory this way! Impressed!
  • Brian Long
    UPA replaced a large, fixed arched window that is on the 3rd floor. They did encounter a problem with the thickness of the gap between the panes on the day of the install but caught it before fully removing the original window. They were out the next business day to finish the job. First day it was raining; second day the wind was rather bad. No complaints from them. Also had them replace the fixed glass in french doors with ones that have the built-in blinds. We will use UPA again if the need arises.

    Had an excellent experience with Utah Pet Access getting a dog door installed in my glass patio slider. Trevor was extremely responsive and helpful. He worked with my glass company to get the order done right and shipped to them. It was then installed perfectly, with no issues. Please give them a call!!!
  • David Artica
    My wife and I have loved this product. Our dog goes in and out to our backyard at will. It’s nice to not have to worry about her being stuck inside all day. Best of all I never had to buy a sliding door, or drill any holes in ours
  • Chad Anderson
    Easy to work with. Great product.
  • Jenny Yergensen
    Super easy to work with, did a fantastic job and were less than one or two other competitors that I looked at! Would definitely recommend…having a doggie door for our 2 dogs has been a complete game changer!
  • Sarah Willardson
    I looked everywhere online to find a product to install in my home that would work for my dog's needs. They were the PERFECT solution. Could not be happier with the product and service!
  • Melanie Hall
    Worth every penny that I spent on the dog door, as it has made a huge difference for my elderly dog. Great service and workmanship.
  • Jason Rabbitt
    I absolutely recommend this place. Their price was the best I found in the area and they were very kind and helpful. They answered all my questions and went over all my options. I ended up being able to keep the original glass (safely stored in my home) which means if I ever sell my town house, and the buyers don't want a doggie door, Utah Pet Access will come back to my home and install the original glass (for a very reasonable install fee). The installation was quick and they helped me store the original glass safely. I've had my doggie door for over a year now, and it still works great, the magnetic latch still works very well, and my dachshund uses it every day.
  • David K
    They were professional and installed a great looking doggy door for us. 2 years later it still works like new.
  • Andy Nichols
    High quality door and professional guidance through selecting the right door for my house.
  • Tony Washington
    The company provided us with an excellent installation of our pet door at a very reasonable price.
  • Pete Gallegos
    Utah Pet Access did a great job putting a doggie door on my 8' tall French door with the blinds inside the glass. I have recommended them to many friends and family
  • Abby Jenkins
    Utah Pet Access was responsive, friendly, and prompt with their consultation and door installation. I've had my pet door for about a year now and have had zero issues. It is well insulated, quiet, and easy to use. The cat and dog love it!
  • Kevin Edwards
    Great product and very easy to install.
