It can be difficult to decide just what to buy for your pets, we know. From everyday toys and tools to accessories just for special occasions, each item is a chance to show some personality and flair. We currently have two cats living (mostly sleeping) in the queerdeer office who have inspired us to do some research into queer and LGBT-related pet products. We decided to compile a list of some of our favourite pet swag in the hopes of inspiring you and your pets to show your pride.
If you’ve just gotten a new kitten, or if your dog has worn out some well-used old favourites, take a look at our list of picks to put some more pride in your pet! These items are sure to brighten you and your pet’s day whether you’re looking for something functional, fashionable, or just plain fun!
