National Pet Day comes but once a year. While your fish, lizard or chinchilla hasn't counted the days, it's a good excuse to show your appreciation.

Whether your animal companion swims, flies or scampers around, there are plenty of pet gifts to be had. We rounded up the best nontraditional pet gifts to buy on National Pet Day.
