Keep the costs down when pampering your pets this Christmas with our top tips — plus win £50,000 in our raffle


SANTA CLAWS will be paying a visit to our pets this Christmas.

We spend £750million on our furry friends during the festive period, while one in four of us spend more on animals than our human loved ones. But you need not splash out to get your paws on great prezzies with my best buys.

CATWALK STARS: B&M has Christmas dog bandanas for £1, woolly hats for £1.50 and leg warmers for £2. Pets At Home’s similar hat will set you back £5. If you want to nab your pet a festive jumper, the best range I found is at Pets At Home. It has all sorts for £10, or £12 depending on the size. That is a fur bit cheaper than the £14 it would cost you at Sainsbury’s, £14.

SAVE: £3.50 on a dog hat

STOCK UP: While Tesco has dog and cat advent calendars for £2.50, Wilko’s £2 versions will save you 50p. Head to B&M for a £2 treat-filled dog stocking. For small animals, stick to a calendar. Christmas Tails’ is £2 at Pets At Home, compared to its £6 stocking. Another option is the Happy Pets small animal cracker, £1.49 at fetch.co.uk.

BED DOWN: Get a Clever Claws printed pet blanket for £1 at The Range, while a similar throw costs £3.99 at B&M.
Home Bargains is great for beds, with prices starting at £3.99. That is £4 cheaper than Aldi. Its £4.99 tartan option is particularly festive. It also has a cat radiator bed for £4.99.

SAVE: £4 on a bed

DOG’S DINNER: Bakers’ Christmas tin for mutts costs £5 at Wilko but £4 at Tesco. Dog-friendly mince pies are £1.50 at B&M, £1 cheaper than at Tesco. Pawsecco’s “wine” for pets is £2.25 at snootycatz.co.uk, down from £2.95. At Pets At Home, Christmas Tails’ gingerbread treat is just a quid.
