We’ll spend more than $58 billion this year on our pets, according to the American Pet Products Association. Here are some gifts for them that won’t break your piggy bank:
Dog socks: Dog footwear can help protect paw pads from road salt, rocks and mud. Combine them with ice-melting products for sidewalks. Good2Go waterproof socks are $19.99 at Petco.
Aquatic plants: Fish are tough to shop for, but you can give them a more natural habitat with a collection of aquatic plants to perk up their aquarium decor, including Jungle Bamboo, Corkscrew Vallisneria, Lemon Bacopa and Amazon Sword. Prices range from $1.99 to $10.99.
Keep an eye on Fido: Put your naughty pet under surveillance. The Motorola Scout 500-2 Video Pet Monitor consists of a monitoring unit and two indoor cameras. It has two-way communication so you can talk to your pet from another room. $99 at PetSmart.
