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

  • ambir widdison
    The door is life changing for our family and our dogs. The door was put into our existing window panel door and looks amazing. Great company to work with.
  • Julie Wilson
    All of us, especially the doggie, LOVE the door we got from Utah Pet Access. We’ve had the door for 2 plus years now and it’s still like brand new. Our pet door is on the north side of the house and we get lots of weather from wind and storms. Having the door has never been an issue. It’s a high quality product. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!
  • Paula Chase
    Utah Pet Access was so great to work with! My dog door was completed quicker than was estimated and with great customer service. My only regret, is I should have done it sooner!
  • Lauren Michaud
    Everyone I worked with was very professional and got things done in a timely manner. Me sad my pups are very happy with the door already! After about a week of practice, they were using it like champs.
  • Lane Porter
    They were super helpful .The door looks great and their follow up has been wonderful as well.
  • Kirstin Anne Workman
    I highly recommend Utah Pet Access. We received a dog door installation earlier this year and I cannot express how pleased I am with the product. Our rescue pup can now easily enter and exit our home without me needing to assist him. We also got the lockable door, which has also been very useful. The service was great and quick, and they have a great warranty on their product to ensure that if they are damaged or malfunction, they will fix/replace it. So far, we have not needed any fixes or repairs in it. Very happy with our purchase, and I would recommend them to anyone on the fence about it.
  • Heather Singleton
    My experience with Utah Pet Access was great! They responded to my questions in a timely manner, told me exactly what to measure, sent me invoice once they got the measurements, and then made it and sent it out. It came faster than they said and it was a perfect fit. The price was reasonable for being custom made. I would highly recommend Utah Pet access to anyone!
  • Maureen Quinlan
    Great team, prompt and friendly. The door looks perfect. Our little Wiggles loves her pet door.
  • Demi Rainaldi
    We have used Utah Pet Access at both of our houses. I love that they bring a new door with the doggie door cut into the glass and we get to keep our original glass. At our first house, we had to have a custom glass insert made because of the plastic pieces that were in the glass door. It was a perfect match to the rest of the door. This was great when we sold our house to give the new owners the option of putting in the old door. They are quick, easy to work with and very professional. I would highly recommend them!

  • holtkev

  • Matthew Neighbour
    Great product, very professional install. Looks great highly recommend. Staff were all freindly and didn’t mind the furbaby bothering the installer :)
  • Big Changes
    Great experience with Utah Pet Access. The owner and the employees are so patient and helpful. I originally thought we wanted a doggie door in the wall. There was only one spot that it would work since we have a lot of windows. The company installer came the day we scheduled the install and while at our house my husband and I changed our minds and wanted the glass door doggie access instead . The installer who is one of the owners was so patient and friendly. So instead of installing the wall doggie door he measured for the glass doggie door. We couldn’t be happier with how the whole experience went! We love the doggie door and so do our pups.
  • ZJ Playz
    After we had a new sliding door installed we looked at several options for a dog door. We settled on Utah Pet Access. They installed a dog door in both the glass door and screen. The entire process from initial bid to installation was excellent as us their finished product. Though there are other similar products are available online I like the idea Utah Pet Access comes out and takes the required measurements and they are local. If you’re needing a dog door I would highly recommend Utah Pet Access over a panel that installs between the door and frame.
  • Angela Abel
    Great service and product. The install was quick and great quality. I have had the door for several months now and it works fantastic. One dog struggled with my old bottom flap door but is much better with the middle swing opening. Thanks!
  • Ana Esquibel
    We ALL are really enjoying the dog door from Utah Pet Access! Including our two giant furbabies! It has made life much easier for us! Thanks Utah Pet for making things easier!
  • Isaac Pugh
    Utah Pet Access was awesome to work with, I highly recommend them to anyone looking to have a pet door added. The measuring process was super quick, the pros were very communicative on how long it would take to get our large glass section made, and when they could get it installed. Once it was ready the install pro came out and had everything finished within 30ish minutes! They even replaced the adhesive on my security sensor and reinstalled that on the door for me. Will definitely be using them again in the future!
  • Rozie Riley
    I am so pleased with my dog door. Trevor was amazing to work with. I am no longer a personal door greeter 24/7. Hallelujah!
  • Tatia Beaslin
    So glad we decided to have Utah Pet Access install a pet door in our glass patio door. It looks so classy and is so nice to not have to let Zoe in and out all day! The process was super easy and I was only without my patio door for about 20 minutes! I was shocked they could install it so quickly!!!! If you’re on the fence about a dog door — do it with Utah Pet Access!
  • Miriam Armstrong
    Thank you for helping Milo learn how to get through the doggie door! He is so confident at doing it now.

    We have two Great Danes and needed to have a dog door put into our glass door. It looked amazing and has worked fantastic. We’ve had it for almost a year and a half and have loved it
  • Jenny D
    We absolutely love our pet door!! The employees are very kind and pleasant to work with! I highly recommended them.
  • Jane Rogers
    I live in a condo on the 4th floor. I looked very hard to find a dog door for my 40 pound Bernedoodle to go out on my deck. I got some very expensive bids from glass companies, and then found Utah Pet Access! They are total PROS, and focused on this business. They were half the price and it is PERFECT and TOTAL QUALITY! Their people go the extra mile, too! My neighbors across the hall then purchased one for their little Cavalier. Great, great company!!
  • Cindy Tenney
    Amazing experience. Our installer was professional and efficient. We have been extremely pleased with our door.
  • Ingrid Wilson
    The pet door we got works wonderfully! This company was great to work with. They installed a temporary door for us while the permanent one was being made, and it really helped us out!
  • Jenny Norton
    We had moved to new house about 7 years ago and were unable to figure out a place to install a dog door. We found Utah Pet Access at a local show. They was able to replace and extend the glass area of our French door which included a very sturdy, great quality dog door. We have been very pleased with the final product and have recommended them to several friends
