Beth Ostrosky Stern's Favorite Pet GiftsThe Oh My Dog! author and champion for animals shares her holiday ideas

ORVIS DOG TREADMILL

"Dog obesity is a big problem in this country," Stern says. "If you don't have the energy or time to walk your dog, what I recommend is a doggie treadmill. It takes a little while to get the dogs accustomed to it and they are expensive, but if you're looking for a lavish gift for a dog that's fat, it's really great." (Orvis, from $550)
