We're so excited for the new Star Wars movie, so naturally we included a super awesome Darth Vader-themed dog harness in this month's must-have pet items. We also got our hands on a neat cookbook and a new device to help you keep track of your pup whenever you want. Scroll through to see those and more of this month's must haves!

I and Love and You's Nothin' But Fish treats are exactly that: nothing but fish. The company specializes in whole food nutrition that is also grain free and healthy for your pets. And if my cats' opinions are anything to go by, these treats are also really yummy.

Do you ever wonder what your dog is up to while you're at work or whether or not your dog walker is actually walking your dog as often as they say? Whistle ($79) can help. This handy device attaches to your dog's collar and pairs with an app on your phone so you can keep track of where your dog is and what he's doing. The app will even send you an alert if your dog is out of his home zone, just in case you need to chase him down.

Now you can make Christmas cookies in a shape you really love: cats ($14)! This kit comes with cookie mix, icing, and cookie cutters, so time to get baking!

It's time to gear up for the new Star Wars movie, and that includes your pup. Dress him up in this Darth Vader harness ($25 and up) to prepare for this month's newest release. May the Force be with him!

If your cat hates sweaters as much as mine do, you might want to go the alternative route for holiday dressing. A festive jingle bell collar ($8) is less annoying for cats but just as fun for humans!

We just got our own copy of Cooking For Two: Your Cat & You ($17), and we can't wait to try some of these recipes. Stay tuned, because we'll definitely share!

We know it isn't always possible to take your dog along for your holiday travels, and DogVacay is here to help with that. The online service that helps dog owners find sitters has created an all-in-one Vacay Kit ($50 and up) that includes everything your sitter will need for watching your pup while you're gone. The box even includes a DogVacay gift card for an amount of your choosing.
