After all, the family pet is an every day, year-round source of companionship and affection for many people. This Christmas, the Pet In­ formation Bureau suggests owners show their apprecia­ tion with a novel gift that can be purchased at nearly any lo­ cal pet shop You can surprise your cat or dog with a new cushioned bed that will make his cat naps and dreams more pleasant. If your pet would appreciate some­ thing a little more exotic, you can give him a bean bag, wa­ ter or brass bed. Sweet dreams All are designed to be liter­ ally puncture-proof, and to provide pets with maximum comfort. Prices range from approximately $8.00 for a cushion bed to $80.00 for the deluxe brass variety. Leg warmers will be ea­ gerly worn by your dog on those days when the tempera­ ture drops below freezing. Knitted of bright red, wash­ able acrylic, this gift is espe­ cially thoughtful for older dogs, and for "indoor" dogs or those with thinner coats. Retail price is approximately five dollars. A car seat can come in handy for the pet that enjoys accompanying his owner on trips across town or across the country. An adjustable safety harness keeps the animal from escaping while allowing him to see the world from the win­ dow. Suggested price is about $30. v Walks in the night will be safer if your pet wears a jacket with reflective strips. A light reflecting lead and collar are proven safety measures, too. YOUR PET CAN BE A PART of the Christmas gift-giving tradition, too. A bean bag bed of his own will make your pet's dreams more pleasant.
