Top Gifts for Your ValenTAIL

MILWAUKEE ?Love is in the air?and Valentine's Day is just around the corner. While many people shower their sweetie with a romantic dinner, roses or chocolates, some companion animal guardians express their love by giving their furry friend gifts. The Wisconsin Humane Society recommends the following popular toys to make your companion animal's heart flutter.

Treats: Of course, the number one Valentine's Day gift is treats ? not just any treats, but ones that are really good for your animal. The Wisconsin Humane Society suggests showering your canine, feline or small animal with treats that are all natural and contain no preservatives or by-products. Although animals cannot have chocolate, they can have carob, a cocoa substitute.

Flowers: Keep your furry friend smelling and looking great by purchasing a naturally scented shampoo like lavender. For cats, a moisturizing grooming wipe helps keep the dander off and their coat shiny.

Rings: Consider purchasing a new safe-cat collar with a bell, jingle balls or a glitter ball for your favorite feline.

Kisses: Bring your dog Greenies, a popular treat bone that freshens their breath and is good for their teeth.

Teddy Bears: The Dr. Noy's line of toys by the Kong Company makes unique soft toys for dogs and cats. For dogs, consider purchasing a bear with a replaceable squeeker ? there is no stuffing to worry about. For cats, the catnip pouch is replaceable.

All of these gifts are available at Animal Antics, located in the Wisconsin Humane Society. For more information, call (414) 431-6221.
