Still wondering what to get for the furry friend in your life this Christmas? Why not give them something homemade? It's easy to make pet toys, and even treats, with materials you have in your own home. To help get you started, Crescent Springs Animal Hospital, based in Crescent Springs, KY, wants to share some of their favorite homemade gift ideas for pets and pet-lovers alike. Some may require buying a few extra materials, while others do not:

• Sock Catnip Toys: If you've got a lot of old socks you can't wear anymore, you can fill them with catnip, tie a knot at the end, and you've got yourself some fish toys! You can draw on eyes and gills using non-toxic markers and tie a string to suspend the toy with. Make sure never to leave cats unattended with toys containing strings or other small parts.

• Pet Scrapbook: Is your loved one crazy about their pet? Use an old photo book or buy a starter scrapbook with acid-free pages, then fill the pages with memories of the beloved animal, making sure to leave plenty of blank pages for all the new memories to come in 2016.

• Pet Toy Chest: Does your pet already have a mountain of toys? For the pet that has everything, convert an old box or basket into a personalized toy chest that can hold it all. You can find decorative lettering at a craft shop to spell out your pet's name.

  

• Peanut Butter Dog Treats: Interested in making your own treats? There are numerous recipes online, like this one from the Food Network; just make sure you research which ingredients are good and which are harmful to pets. For expert advice, ask your local Crescent Springs pet hospital.
