Pet related holiday gifts for allergy sufferers with pet allergies

If you love dogs or cats but have an allergy to their dander, fur or saliva, having a pet in your home is usually out of the question. Or, if your child, parent or another family member or friend loves pets but has a pet allergy, you may wonder how to incorporate their passion into your holiday gift-giving.

However, you can still celebrate your love of pets during the holiday season by considering pet-themed holiday gifts.

  • Make a donation to a local animal shelter in their name. The Capital Area Humane Society and Cat Welfare are among many options in Columbus.
  • Look for giftable items with their favorite type of pet on the item, such as stationery, puzzles and tree ornaments.
  • If they like to read, find a book about their favorite type of animal.
  • If they cannot have pets in their home, bring wildlife to their view with a bird feeder and birdseed to go inside. Set it up so they can watch their colorful feathered visitors from the comfort of their warm home this winter.
