This year’s top 10 list of holiday gifts for pets, as voted on by pet parents, has been unveiled by PetSmart (NASDAQ: PETM) and includes high-tech pet video monitors, a motion-activated dog toy, and a cuddly plush toy that helps save the lives of homeless pets.

New this year, Motorola Scout Video Pet Monitors from PetSmart are a top tech gift for pet parents who want to keep an eye on their pets when away from home. The monitors are available in four models with features such as wireless technology, infrared night vision, two-way voice communication, and indoor and outdoor cameras. (Photo: Business Wire)

“We asked our 1.9 million fans and pet parents on Facebook what gifts their pets want for the holidays this year, and they voted for the top 10 pet gifts,” said Laurie Taylor, PetSmart’s vice president of dog and cat merchandising. “Their choices were as diverse as pets themselves, from festive and unique toys to seasonal treats. We think the list provides a great starting point to find gifts for the special pets in your life.”

The top 10 holiday gifts, as selected by PetSmart fans, are available in stores and online, and are featured on PetSmart’s Facebook page at www.facebook.com/PetSmart.

1. Motorola Scout Video Pet Monitors: Wireless technology, infrared night vision, two-way voice communication, and indoor/outdoor cameras make these monitors a top tech gift for pet parents who want to keep an eye on their pets when away from home.
2. PetSmart Coupon Gift Card Book: It’s much more than a gift card because it’s attached to a spiral-bound coupon book that contains more than $100 in savings on dog and cat treats, aquatics, reptiles, birds, clean-up products, and grooming, boarding and training services.
3. ThunderSweater: This cold-weather version of the popular ThunderShirt gently hugs your dog to help keep him calm during winter storms and other situations that spark anxiety, fear and over-excitement.
