4. Tito’s Taco
Do you start feeling bad when you indulge in Taco Tuesday and leave your dog out in the cold?
Well, feel bad no more because this Christmas, you can give them their very own taco! Okay, it’s a plush taco from the PrimePets store, but it’s still a taco!

5. Pet Qwerks Babble Ball
The Pet Qwerks Babble Ball isn’t a well-publicized toy or a toy for those of you who like to keep the house quiet, but it’s a winner among dogs!
A hard plastic ball, the Babble Ball comes in a few different varieties: one that says phrases and one that makes animal noises.
Each time your pet rolls or bats the ball across the floor, it will come out with a phrase that encourages them to chase it!
The only drawback? The ball can’t tell the difference between your pet playing with it or you kicking it in the middle of the night when you go to fetch a glass of water.
The Babble Ball comes in three sizes – small, medium, and large and ranges in size from 2.125” to 3.125”.
Expect to pay around $5.50 for one Babble Ball or pick up a couple on DoggyLoot on sale.

Then you have to try to keep a straight face as your dog comes lumbering back with a huge red tongue lolling out of their mouth.
Available in a variety of sizes depending on the size of your dog, you can even compliment this toy with a matching Humunga Stache toy. The price tag on this toy is a breezy $13.78, and shipping is free!
