Doggy Christmas Present Ideas #1: Homemade treats
You know your dog best, so why not make some homemade treats using their favourite ingredients? What we love about this present idea is that homemade treats are cheap, easy-to-make, and healthy. And, your doggo will love them.
You might wrap them in a special treat-dispensing toy so that this gift becomes a two-in-one deal! Take a look at our summer dog treat recipes for inspiration.
Christmas Gift Ideas #2: Brand new doggy bed
What’s a better gift than the best snooze spot your pupper has ever seen? Go for bold, dog-friendly colours, or keep an eye out for the softest textures and comfiest fillings.
If you’re not sure about the best doggie bed for your pooch, think about where they most like to hang out. Are the couch surfers who would like a couch topping dog bed? Or, would they rather have a dog bed that will fit right in next to your bed? You might also consider the breed. Digging dogs like Dachshunds love a good covered dog bed so that they can burrow on in to dreamland.
Doggy Christmas Present Ideas #3: Senior pup ramp
If your dog has seen plenty of Christmases, it might be useful to give them senior pup supplies like car, stair or bed ramps. These ramps will increase your dog’s mobility and while lowering their discomfort from arthritis. Plus, you’ll spend less time lifting them and more time cuddling. A win-win.
Christmas Gift Ideas #4: Grooming supplies
If you’ve been using the same old dog brush for years, it might be time to get caught up in grooming technology. Now there are grooming gloves, specialised dog brushes for shedding, and more.
Whether your doggo loves or hates grooming time, getting better supplies will make the grooming process much more enjoyable for both of you!
Doggy Christmas Present Ideas #5: Doggy swimming vest
If you’ve ever left your doggo at home because you’re worried about them following you into the ocean or lake, make sure to add this gift to your Christmas present ideas. A swimming vest may take some getting used to, but we can guarantee that your doggo will love the opportunity to jump on in with their favourite Owners.
Christmas Gift Ideas #6: Summer cooling pad
Christmas is a hot time of year, which means that cooling Christmas present ideas are a great option. With summer cooling pads, your doggo can spend the holidays napping comfortably instead of wishing for cooler days.
While we’re on the subject of rising temps, Peta has a few other suggestions for keeping your dog cool this Christmas.
Doggy Christmas Present Ideas #7: Plenty of chew toys
Chew toys are, of course, the ultimate Christmas gifts for any doggo. Let’s face it, you probably have to buy your dog new toys throughout the year anyway. Why not make it more festive by wrapping those new chew toys in Christmas wrapping paper?
Christmas Gift Ideas #8: Extra time with their favourite Dog Walker
What dog wouldn’t want an extra few walks with their favourite Dog Walker? Obviously, your pupper won’t be able to unwrap this gift, so you might give them a brand new harness and leash.
Santa isn’t forgetting about Fido this year!
Involving your pets in the festivities is sure to make this Christmas more enjoyable than ever before. With these simple Christmas present ideas, you can be sure that your doggo will love this holiday just as much as the rest of us!
Remember to hide the presents well so that you don’t have any early present-openers! You should also keep an eye out to make sure that your pupper isn’t eating any of your hard gift-wrapping work.
Finally, make sure to send us your unwrapping videos and pictures! We can’t wait to see what Christmas present ideas you came up with for your beloved dog!
