Deals For Your Best Friend on Black Friday

Lisa Lindsey — Fri, 25 Nov 2011 13:29:07 +0000

It's Black Friday! Time to start Christmas shopping! Don't forget about the family members that are there for you when your down, happy when you come home and love to be loved. Yes, our pets! Whether a dog or cat person, a new survey came out that said over half of the pet owners in the U.S. will buy a present for their pet. The average amount spent? $46! Wow! Now, I don't spend that much on my cats. I learned a long time ago, a few treats and a toy in their stocking (yes, they have stockings hung up) was enough. I realized one Christmas morning that the crumpled up wrapping paper all over the living room floor was totally irresistible to them! But that doesn't mean you can't find something cool for your best friend. A variety of pet retailers are offering great deals for the dog and cat on Black Friday and Cyber Monday .
