We all love to be spoiled for our birthdays - and when it comes round to it, our pets should be spoiled as much as us. With cuddles all around and treats to fill them up, you'll want to make sure you've bought the best thing possible for your pet, especially for National Pet Day (April 11).
Of course, you can go the traditional route and buy some amazing treats, toys and food for your pets but as well as this, you can get some unique tools and tech to really go all-out on their birthdays. Pet tech has become our new favourite thing to buy for our pets.
Whether you're searching around for a seasonal present, celebrating National Pet Day, setting up for a furry birthday or just want to give your pet something they deserve, we've rounded up our favourite products you can gift your pets.
What can I buy for my pet?
Just like us, our pets have all kinds of personalities and some will like things that others might not. Cats, for instance, are more likely to love a cosy cat bed or high-tech toy. Dogs, on the other hand, may benefit from a variety of chew toys (especially if they like to destroy them!) or a comfortable new harness. Smaller animals like hamsters and guinea pigs always need new accessories and toys to keep them occupied in their hutches.
On the market now you can get even more unique presents, high-tech and luxurious products that you can really spoil your pet with. Pet drinking fountains have been trendy in recent years or grab a pet camera to keep an eye on your loved one.

What are some pet essentials?
If you're not too keen on splashing out too much, pet essentials are always a good place to grab gifts for your animals. From pet food to leads, collars and toys, pets will always need these in handy!
Food: Of course, like us humans, animals need food to survive - and most of them love their food. Grab their favourite pouch of wet or dry food, get them some extra special treats or even buy an expensive brand as a one-off.
Bowls and bottles: Dogs, cats and small animals will be needing something to eat or drink out of too - why not treat them to an extra special personalised bowl they can enjoy. Hamsters, rabbits and guinea pigs usually drink out of bottles so don't forget those either.
Leads, collars and harnesses: These are most likely to come in handy for dog-owners, but also may be a good choice for any cat, rabbit or small animal owner. Just make sure you buy the right sizes for your pets.
Toys: Erm, hello! A great choice for a gift is a fancy new toy to treat your pet. There are toys and games for all animal types and they'll be able to play with them straight away.
Pens, cages and houses: Whether you use these as a place for them to sleep or as a portable travel option, pens and cages come in handy as a pet owner. Houses and caves can be a great choice too for them to snuggle into.
