From useful to goofy — 8 great gifts for pets

Fred & Friends

One of the great things about pets is they will accept anything as a present. Seriously, give your dog an old dishtowel and he’ll be ecstatic.

But you can do better than that. Here are a few holiday gift ideas for your favorite four-footed companion and other pets.

Order up …

Don’t let your dog feel left out while you enjoy that long-awaited pumpkin spice latte. Order his or her name on this personalized “Starbarks” chew toy and enjoy the holidays together. For a realistic touch, misspell Fido’s name (“Fedor”?). $10.03, small; $12.03, large, etsy.com

Each hand-painted porcelain canister is made in the company’s Soho studio and glazed with a black-and-white or color finish. $138, jonathanadler.com
