Animal & Pet Ornaments

Dog ornaments lead the way here, joined by cat ornaments, songbirds, a barn owl, and a few barnyard friends for the Christmas tree. Most are glass, painted and glittered with the kind of personality that makes a pet feel like part of the holiday, and every one makes an easy gift for the dog lovers and cat lovers on your list.

A tree tells the story of a household, and for many of us that story has four legs. Our dog ornaments and cat ornaments are made for exactly that tree: glass pups dressed for the holidays, little long-haired breeds with bows in their topknots, and cats with real attitude. Hang one for each pet in the family, or start a tradition of adding a new one every December.

Beyond the house pets, the collection wanders out to the backyard and the barn. A red cardinal ornament brings the classic winter songbird to the branches, joined by a barn owl, a bird bath with feathered visitors, country geese in scarves, and a sheep with a blue bow. Mixed together, animal Christmas ornaments give a tree a storybook, collected feel that a box of matching baubles never will.

They also make some of the easiest gifts for dog lovers and gifts for cat lovers: a dog mom, a self-described cat lady, a household with a new puppy, or the friend who sends you pet photos every day. Tuck one into a stocking or tie one onto a wrapped present. For the rest of the tree, browse our full Christmas ornaments collection, and for the pets themselves, our Christmas pet collection has holiday pieces made for the dogs in your life.

FAQs

A glass dog ornament is one of the easiest gifts for a dog lover, because it comes out every December and hangs right where the family gathers. Our dog ornaments range from dressed-up pups and glittered gold dogs to small long-haired breeds with bows, so you can match the personality of the dog, or of the owner. Choose one for a dog mom, a new puppy household, or a family adding to the pack.

A cat ornament is a small, charming gift a cat lover will bring out year after year. Pick a glass cat with a sense of humor, a hand-painted kitty with a bow, or a stitched needlepoint style for a softer look on the tree. Pair it with a card, tuck it into a stocking, or tie it onto a wrapped present and it is ready to give.

Cardinals are tied to Christmas because the male's bright red feathers stand out against snow and evergreens, and the birds stay through the winter when many others have flown south, which made them a natural fit for holiday cards and decorations. Many people also see a cardinal as a sign that a loved one is near, so a cardinal ornament often hangs on the tree in someone's memory. Our glass cardinal ornament brings that tradition to the branches, alongside the other birds in this collection.
