Choose Your Pet's Personality & We'll Tell You What You Should Get Them For The Holidays

Is your pet more of a couch potato or a sassy diva?

Sponsored Content Contributing Writer

'Tis the season to give back to those you love and thank them for all they do. But as you shop around for your human family and friends, don't forget to pick up something special for your furry, scaled or feathered pals.

And, honestly, pets really are out here doing the most: they listen to you vent when you're in a bad mood, they're always down for a snuggle after a long day and they let you watch whatever show you want.

Ergo, they deserve some extra appreciation this holiday.

If you’re not sure what to get, beyond a run-of-the-mill tennis ball, you can discover your fur baby's personality type to find the perfect gift for them.

Have your hands full with an adventurous pup? Snag them some cute outdoor apparel. Or, if you have a pampered kitty, express your love and gratitude with a flashy toy.

By answering a few questions on Pet Valu's Pet-sonality Quiz, you'll find out which of the six main personalities your pet falls under and which matching gift ideas they'll absolutely love.

Think you already know? Check out the pet-sonality types below to see what your furry BFF wants to find under the Christmas tree this year.

Adventurer

Does your pet love to explore the great outdoors with you? Make sure they're warm, toasty and Instagram-ready for every adventure with this stylish utility coat for dogs.

Love Bug

Snuggly, affectionate and loyal (read: always following you around) — if this describes your fur baby to a tee, you should buy them a festive onesie to cuddle up in this holiday season.

Spoil your clingy love bug with a never-ending hug from a plush cuddle bed.

It'll keep them happy and occupied through every one of your Netflix binges.

Sassy Diva

If your pet was a human, would they be Mariah Carey? Go ahead and (literally) stroke that ego with a grooming brush that will leave your fur baby looking fabulous.

For an extra treat, throw some gourmet holiday cobbler in their stocking. These snacks are made with organic green apples, cinnamon and superfoods like peanut butter and gluten-free rolled oats, so even the most epicurean palates will be happy.
