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 15 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.

  • Personalized Dog Food Mat

    How fun is this gift idea?!  Most dogs aren’t the neatest eaters, so a mat for good dishes is always a good idea.  I really like that this one allows you to customize it with not only the dog’s name, but you can add a fun pronunciation and create 3 unique statements that tell a little about your pup.  It would be a great gift idea for the kids to give the dog this holiday season.
