Festive Finds for All Pets at Your Neighborhood Pet Store

In a time of constant online shopping, seemingly-endless notifications, email alerts and text reminders for every gift under the sun, sometimes it feels good to just step into a local shop and walk out with the assurance that you found the perfect local gift (and that it will definitely arrive on-time to go under their tree). Shopping for your four-legged family is no different, and while it might seem like there aren’t as many local brands or options for dogs or cats, there are indeed plenty of options for those looking to spoil their pet while also supporting neighborhood shops around the corner. 

Treats Unleashed Personalized Holiday Jumbo Bone: Whether personalized or generic, these jumbo decorated cookies are sure to be a hit for every pup - big or small!

Treats Unleashed Jumbo Candy Cane: These crunchy, fresh baked treats are the perfect stocking stuffer for your cookie obsessed dog. Available in Jumbo ($4.99) and Mega ($9.99) sizes. 

Treats Unleashed Decorated Cookies: Can’t choose just one cookie for Santa Paws? No worries, just grab a five-pack and head out the door. These cookies are decorated to perfection and guaranteed to make your pup go wild.

TU TIP: Have you ever walked into a Treats Unleashed and smelled cookies baking? There’s a reason, and it’s because all our baked pet treats are truly made fresh and on-site each and every day by our loyal team of pet bakers. All our pet bakery goods (crunchy treats, decorated treats, soft bites, Big Bones, cakes, pup-cakes & more) are all made from scratch and in small batches completely on-site at your local TU store. That’s right, our team members literally mix and prep everything right behind the counter. Personalized or custom items are also made to order each and every time. 

Etta Says! Treats & Chews: Whether you plan to give these treats alone, in a snuffle mat, or in an interactive feeder, Etta Says chews are a great local gift for any pup. Try their classic jerky or Mega Chew options in classic meat flavors like Pork or Beef, or their star-shaped Flavor Fusions for an addictingly chewy treat in flavors like Salmon & Sweet Potato and PB & Honey. The best part? It also cleans their teeth with each bite. Made by Treat Planet, headquartered in the heart of Earth City in St. Louis.

Puppy Love & Kitty Love Bubbles from Atomic Bubbles: As seen in Star Magazine’s holiday gift guide, the official bubble brand of the STL Bubble Bus has their own pet-safe bubble options, straight out of STL! They are non-toxic, indoor-safe, play-ready bubbles in enticing scents like birthday cake, catnip, pumpkin, bacon, and even a calming lavender option. Both recipes are sold locally only at Treats Unleashed, so pop in or browse online to grab this paw-fect stocking stuffer before your next indoor (or outdoor) pet playdate.

Keep Me Stitching Bandanas & Bowties: Is your pet looking for a fresh new look? Give them a bandana for the holidays to help them feel more festive! Each bandana and bow-tie is hand-made by Mary, a St. Louis-area icon in the pet community known for her hand-made designs. Her bandanas come in a range of sizes (Small, Medium, and Large) and easily slip onto collars for both dogs & cats. And the festive fabrics? Those are hand-picked each season by Mary herself! No two bandanas are identical, and once a pattern is gone, it’s gone.

Tropiclean Pet Products: Can’t take a tropical vacation this winter? You can still enjoy the amazing aromas and benefits of tropical fruits every time you nuzzle your pet this season with Tropiclean’s lines of pet care products. From spa-day shampoos to body wipes, to pet collage and even dental cleaning supplies, Tropiclean’s products get your pet feeling squeaky clean and smelling like a tropical getaway (even after their muddiest outdoor adventure.) Plus, all these vacation vibes hail from their main headquarters and facory right in St. Peters, Missouri.

Give Pet Treats: Hailing from Overland Park in Kansas City, Give Pets treats are a popular year-round treat option for two reasons. Not only do they have a wide array of options (from freeze-dried protein to soft-baked morsels) for dogs and cats, but for every bag purchased, they give treats to pets in local shelters. Every time you buy a bag, you’re not only supporting a local business, but you’re supporting local shelters and pets in need. Win-win-win!

Not sure what to gift? Give the gift of variety with a Treats Unleashed gift card! A great way to treat a pet parent to our whole store of treats, chews, toys, food (fresh, raw, kibble) and more! Gift cards can also be applied to services like our self-serve pet wash suites. Gift cards can be purchased in-store at all TU locations, or e-gift cards can be purchased online.
