PETS can be as important as people in many families.

So, it is vital not to neglect them at Christmas.

Fortunately, there are now several ways to keep pets extra-happy at this special time.

For example, you can ensure that your dog enjoys his or her own Christmas dinner with Wagg's Delishus Dog Gravy.

Just like the gravy that humans so like on our turkey or chicken, this doggy product adds the gourmet touch. It costs around £2.10 for a 580g bottle which makes up 20-30 servings, available from Sainsbury's, Pets at Home and other stores and shops.

Friskies, which make Bonio, have produced a Variety Cracker at £2.39 which is crammed with all kinds of doggy products.

And their Winalot Christmas Selection, at around £2.99, includes Rewards and Specials plus Meaty Biscuit Shapes and Allsorts.

For cats, Friskies have produced some attractive festive gifts including Winter Wonderland -- a gift pack filled with a selection of tasty goodies at £2.99.
