Shopping for pet gifts in South-East Calgary made easy
The Bone and Biscuit has been a cornerstone business for the communities in the south such as Legacy, Wolf Willow, Walden and Chaparral. Since many of us know a pet owner, we asked the team to share their top recommendations for thoughtful holiday gifts for our furry friends.
Lina, who works at The Bone and Biscuit and is also the proud owner of a half-Labrador, half-Boxer named Maze, has witnessed the community’s growth since becoming a dog owner. She loves how walkable Legacy is and often explores nearby areas, like the Environmental Reserve and the dog park in Wolf Willow (Woof Willow).
Here is her guide to gifts for the dog owner in your life.
