The Holiday season is upon us, and it’s time to start thinking of the ones you love. Holiday shopping can be tough, especially this year, so HomeVets decided to put together two gift guides: a list of our favorite gifts for your four legged companions, and a second list for the pet-loving humans in your life! We focused our holiday gift search on locally owned businesses, so below you will find lots of options to choose from that will put a smile on everyone’s face, all while supporting our local community. Additionally, many of these are products used by HomeVets’ own Dr. Budge and his family on a regular basis. Happy shopping, and Happy Holidays from HomeVets!
