Party Prep: Before any good party, the host or hostess has to prepare the house to guarantee guests with two or four legs have a blast. Upon arrival, guests typically prefer to be greeted by pets rather than by their odor. Prior to the party, make sure litter boxes are clean and the yard is free of dog waste. The Litter Genie is the perfect pre-party prepper; it captures cat litter clumps and seals in waste and odors, ensuring the house smells fresh, not foul when guests arrive.

Holiday Decor: With mistletoe, menorahs and other merry decorations hung for two-legged party guests, there's plenty of pet decor to complement the holiday style. For feline friends, hide Reindeer Mice around the house to keep kitties entertained. Dogs will dance with delight when they see Petco brand Holiday Stockings hanging from the mantle. These stockings are even decorated with small paws to make Fido feel right at home. It's also a good idea to have dog toys in a variety of sizes and styles to ensure all pets, big and small, young and old, are equally satisfied. Plus, Petco brand Holiday Dog Toys are so cute and cuddly; they'll help brighten up the mood at any party!
