This is the year to bow-wow blow away the dog parents in your life with unique gifts. You know who we’re talking about. The person who leaves the party a bit early because “the dog is lonely at home” or who stops just about everyone at the dog park to ask “Can I pet your dog?”
We’re always traveling around the interwebs for ideas that speak to the love, devotion, and pure joy that dog lovers feel when they think about their four-legged babies. These 17 gift ideas for dog lovers cover the gambit from practical to pretty darn funny. We hope you find something for every dog parent on your list.
Dog Saliva Hand Soap
OMG! You can’t help but laugh at this way to funny gift option. It’s a hilarious stocking stuffer for the dog parent in your life (or yourself). No worries though…it’s not REALLY dog saliva. It’s good ‘ole all-natural, organic, vegan soap, scented with essential spearmint oil.
Pet Camera & Treat Dispenser
We’re not sure if this gift idea is for your pet or really for you. It’s hard being away from our pets when we’re at work, now with this camera, you can keep an eye on your puppy AND give them a treat! How fun is this…it comes with 2-way audio so you can reminder your buddy how much they are loved even when you’re not home.
Whiskey Rocks Glass
Even a doggy Daddy needs time to unwind with a nice cocktail. The glass, with the etched DogFather, is dishwasher safe, so it can be used again, and again, and again.
Treat Ball
Love this idea of this holiday gift! The Pet Zone IQ Treat Ball that encourages your pet to exercise to get a treat. When they play and roll the ball, a treat is released. You can get the treat ball in 3” for smaller dogs and 4” for larger dogs. Thinking a human version of this treat ball could be a big hit!
I’ll Be Watching You Sweatshirt
The team at Life is Good® is on their game this year. I’m loving their yellow lab play on The Police’s classic, “Every Breath You Take.” 100% cotton, this relaxed fit sweatshirt comes in men’s sizes S to XXL.
St. Francis Personalized Pet Medal
What a beautiful gift to give a pet parent this holiday season. This medal features St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of animals and the environment, and the back can be personalized to include a message and name.
Howl-arious Socks
I LOVE wear sassy socks and this pair is so freakin’ funny…because somedays, it’s very true. They are 60% combed cotton, 20% nylon, 20% spandex and fits women’s shoe size 5-10.
Max The Rescue Dog Sweatshirt
Oh, you sweet, sweet Max, how we love you! What makes this Life is Good® sweatshirt one of our favorites is that it celebrates one of the world’s greatest dog. Available in men’s sizes S to XXL it’s sure to bring a smile to the face of anyone you give it to this year.
Dog People Candle
Give a reminder of the unconditional love our pets give you this Christmas to your friends with fur babies with this candle from the Whiskey River Candle Company. The candles are handmade, should burn approx. 60 hours and have the scent of a grassy dog park.
Dog Dish Towels
This set of four (4) dish towels would make a great holiday hostess gift or secret Santa gift for any pet parent. They’re microfiber, washer and dryer safe. My favorite is the “Dogs Welcome. People Tolerated.”
