Many dogs suffer from separation anxiety when their owners leave the house, and the situation can be just as stressful for their humans. The Wi-Fi-equipped Furbo helps by allowing owners to monitor their pets, hear and speak to them and even toss them treats, all through an interactive app on their smartphones.

Custom Watercolor Pet Portrait Mug
A personalized gift shows that you went the extra mile, and Etsy is full of amazingly unique options. We love these custom pet portraits from Etsy shop ArteestyCom, which turn photos you send for inspiration into watercolor renderings. Choose from mugs, prints, gallery canvas and more, and order ASAP if you want it before Christmas.
DrawYourPortrait Personalized Pet Pillow
Show the softer side of cherished pets by capturing them in pillow form. Choose from several sizes, ranging from 14”x14” to 24”x24”, and preview the rendering before it’s printed on the pillow.
Wild One Walk Kit
Carrying around dog poop isn't the most glamorous aspect of being a dog mom, but with this walk kit that includes a poop bag carrier, it's a lot less, well, crappy. Available in several fun colors, this walking kit includes a matching leash, poop bag carrier and harness.
BMX Portable Travel Pet Carrier
This isn’t the exact pet backpack that we spotted in Taylor Swift’s Netflix documentary, 'Miss Americana' (and that's definitely not Olivia Benson in the photo), but it’s close enough for us. Created for cats of all sizes as well as small dogs, this ventilated carrier is your best bet for safely transporting animals that tend to freak out in traditional carriers and cages -- once inside, they can either sit down and peer through the removable bubble window or stand up and pop their head out of the top. The backpack is also airline-approved and can be slid under your seat on your next flight. Bonus points for it looking like a Poké Ball.
