Diwali is all about sharing something special with the ones we love, and for many of us, that includes a dog or cat. While the family enjoys sweets and new clothes, your pet can have a festive treat of their own. This Diwali gift guide brings together pet-safe treats, grooming picks and everyday essentials from Smiling Pets Top Deals and across our store.
Festive note: our Diwali special offers run till 11 November, and orders of ₹500 or more get free delivery.
Why Pets Need Their Own Diwali Treats
Mithai, chocolate and rich festive snacks are not meant for pets. Chocolate, raisins, grapes, onion, garlic and sweets containing xylitol can all be dangerous, and food heavy in ghee and sugar can upset a pet's stomach. Instead of sharing your plate, keep a small box of pet-safe treats ready. For more on staying safe through the festival, read our guide on keeping your pet calm during Diwali fireworks.
Best Diwali Gifts for Dogs
1. Crunchy and Chewy Treats
Our dog treats collection has options for every size and taste. Homiee & Ginger Air Dried Chicken Jerky Bars make a good meaty reward, while Gnawlers Calcium Milk Bones are an easy choice to keep in the cupboard.
2. Fruit-Flavoured Festive Treats
For a treat that feels a little different, try PRAMA, such as Fresh Strawberry or Creamy Mango. You can browse the full range in our PRAMA dog treats collection. Treats also work well for practice, so see our guide to the best dog treats for training.
3. A New Toy
A new toy can keep your dog busy while the house is full of guests. Explore our dog toys, and if your dog destroys everything, read about the best toys for heavy chewers.
4. A Festive Bath
Your home gets a Diwali clean, and your dog can too. Earthbath 2-in-1 Conditioning Shampoo is made for both dogs and cats, and our pet grooming range has more to choose from. New to bath time? Follow our step-by-step guide to grooming your dog at home.
Best Diwali Gifts for Cats
1. Creamy Treats
Most cats love a lickable treat. Me-O Creamy Cat Treats in Salmon are a simple festive reward, and you will find many more flavours in our cat treats collection.
2. A Special Meal Topper
Turn dinner into a small celebration with Meowfia Pure Duck Breast, which works as a treat or a topper. If you are adding more wet food to the bowl, our comparison of wet and dry cat food can help.
3. Indoor Play
Cats often stay indoors during fireworks, so play helps them stay occupied. Our guide to the best toys for indoor cats has ideas for every personality.
Stock Up on Everyday Essentials Before the Rush
Festive weeks are busy, so it helps to refill the basics early. Check your supply of dog food, cat food and cat litter before the celebrations begin. Want variety in one order? Build a box with our Mix & Match combos.
Quick Tips for Giving Pet Treats This Diwali
- Introduce any new treat slowly, in small amounts.
- Keep treats as a small part of your pet's daily food.
- Choose a treat size that suits your pet, and supervise chewing.
- Keep fresh water available at all times.
