CHARLOTTE –  – Have you started your holiday shopping yet? As you start checking family members and friends off your list, don’t forget about your fur babies! There are some great deals available on items for pets during this “season” of Black Friday sales.

One of the pet tech deals we love is on smart devices and collars that allow pet parents to know a fur baby’s location and even get insights on pet fitness. Whistle is offering a 25% discount on all devices – including their collars – when purchased with a 1 or 2 year plan, which includes GPS tracking. Fi is another brand offering a great discount (almost 1/2 off!) on smart collars.

Puzzle toys are one of the best ways for fur babies to release some mental energy, and there are great ones on sale on Amazon. We love the Nina Ottosson by Outward Hound interactive puzzle toys, which come in several levels to keep pups stimulated and challenged. One has multiple compartments that hold treats, and your pup can learn to flip, slide, and lift the pieces to reveal the snacks. For feline friends, check out the Petstages Tower of Tracks, which is sure to help satisfy the hunting, chasing and exercising needs of cats.

Pet gadgets in particular are expected to be hot sellers this season, especially because so many people have adopted fur babies over the last couple of years. Get a head start on shopping for your pets this season – you’ll both be glad you did!
