So keep reading to discover the best gifts for dog owners!
The Best Gifts For Dog Owners
Dog Toys
Simple and inexpensive, dog toys are one of the easiest ways to show a dog owner that you’re thinking of them. Chew toys, stuffed animals, puzzle games, and tug toys..the list goes on and on! Not only can a new and exciting toy promote their dog’s happiness, but quality playtime and exercise with their human too. Shared experiences are one of the best gifts for dog owners.
Consider purchasing a bouncy toy, a throw toy, or even something practical like a “Chuck It”.
Dog Treats
Everyone loves treats! Why would dogs be any different? The best treats for dogs are ones that feature wholesome ingredients and are low in artificial flavors, colors, and other chemical additives (ideally they’ll contain no fillers or icky additives!).
Buying nutrient dense dog treats, alongside a care package full of human treats, is a beautiful way to say “Hey, we all deserve a holiday snack.” If you have a friend with a neurotic or high energy dog, there’s a whole range of calming treats available on the market too.
And if your friend’s dog has bad breath or yellow teeth, there are many dental treats that can help fight plaque and smelly breath. If you’re searching for some, head over to Carolina Prime Pet to check out our Dental Jerky.
Dog Bowls & Feeders
Is your friend gone for most of the day? Or do you know a dog owner who just got their dog? A set of nice bowls with the dog’s name on them or a timed feeder could be one of the best gifts for dog owners in this case.
You can find slow feeder bowls, traveling auto mugs, and even pet mats that will ensure the food bowls don’t move around too much.
Dog Beds
Some dog owners love their dogs but don’t love having their dogs on the furniture. For those friends, invest in a dog bed for them! A nice quality dog bed can alleviate the guilt some dog owners feel over not allowing their best friend on the couch or in their bed.
Dog Grooming Supplies
You can help your friend keep their pup groomed by gifting them with brushes, combs, and even doggy nail polish! Yes, there are indeed some dog owners out there who would love nothing more than a mani pedi day with their furry friend.
There are many great smelling shampoos, conditioners, oils, and even paw waxes to keep dogs looking good all year long.
Dog Clothes
Some of us just can’t help it. Many people love seeing their dog in an adorable doggy outfit! If you, or your pal is one of them, you can buy their dog a fun outfit complete with accessories for a stylish season. Think of matching sweaters, vests, and even winter coats.
Dog Leashes, Collars, Harnesses, and Carriers
Many dog owners will tell you that they can always use another leash, collar, harness, or carrier. It’s easy for these items to get lost, damaged, and destroyed over time, especially by high energy dogs. If you’re looking for a super useful gift, this is likely it.
Vacuum
Then there’s the issue of fur. Some dogs seem to be made of more fur than dog, and that’s okay! We love our furry friends, but we don’t always love all the shedded fur that comes along with them. Especially when it gets all over the house.
If you have a friend with an excessively furry dog, you can help them out by buying them an upright vacuum designed specifically for picking up extra fluff. Trust us, they’ll thank you for it.
Candles
Along with fur comes odor. Yes, some dogs are naturally more smelly than others. One of the best gifts for dog owners (so long as they won’t be offended) is a set of quality candles designed to eliminate dog odor. Not only are you acknowledging the challenge your friend is facing, but you’re providing a sweet scent to freshen the smell of their home.
