Finding gifts for dog lovers is a fun task but let’s face it, your friend probably has enough “Dog Mom” mugs stuffed in her kitchen cabinets to caffeinate the whole neighborhood. Get them something they’ll actually use, because if there’s anything that makes a dog owner happy it’s seeing their dog enjoy themselves.
When gifting for dog lovers for holidays like birthdays, gotcha days, and even National Dog Day you’ll want to consider who you’re buying for. Are they a new puppy owner, or have they had some experience and have a brand that they like to use? Some dogs are absolute toy destroyers and need tougher toys, while others covet and protect their stuffies as if they were their own pups. We’ve got you covered.
From some of our favorite interactive dog toys, to a pet camera that gives your pet treats while you’re away, and everything in between we’ve got gifts for every budget. Because sometimes things are ruff and it’s the thought that counts.

Pet hair is no match for the easy to use Lilly Brush.
People with pets know that leaving the house without even one stray hair on you is almost impossible, and honestly, we could use all the help we can get. There are plenty of helpful tools to remove pet hair, including the Lilly Brush. This easy to use brush is a top choice for removing difficult pet hair. Reviews mention that the Lilly Brush works well on furniture, bed sheets, and carpets, cutting down on areas where hair is bound to transfer to your clothing.
When we tested this Bissell vacuum we were impressed with its above average capacity for a handheld vacuum.
Let’s face it, having pets can get messy, and dragging out the vacuum can get tiresome. The Bissell Pet Hair Eraser is one of our favorite lightweight vacuums that helps to quickly cut down on messes. Plus, every Bissell purchase donates $5 to help save pets!
Minted lets you create personalized puzzles for the special people in your life.
Minted makes it easy to personalize gifts like puzzles and more. When we tried Minted to make a customized puzzle we were impressed with how easy it was. You can choose from a variety of shapes and sizes at Minted and our tester was pleased with the puzzle upon delivery.
Get the conversation started with talking buttons for pets.
While some of us only dream of communicating with our dogs and fill that void with crazy purchases like cheese sculptures of our pets, there is a less weird way to bring the gap. Recordable buttons. You may have even seen Bunny the dog on social media and thought about trying them out. This kit is a good intro to using talking buttons and seeing if they’re a good fit for your favorite pooch, and we think they make a great gift too.
Big dogs and small dogs alike will appreciate a toy delivery from Bark Box.
For parents of dogs that easily destroy regular toys, the BarkBox “Super Chewers” line is a great addition to your monthly subscriptions. Plus, when we tested Bark Box we thought it was truly the cat’s pajamas.
This giant bed is perfect for snuggling with your pets.
Over the top? Maybe. Cozy? Definitely. The Plufl human dog bed is the ultimate snuggle sesh companion (right behind your pet of course.) When we tried this napping bed we were impressed with how well made it was. If my friends are reading this, consider the Plufl added to my Hannukah list!
Our dogs go nuts for this dog “popcorn.”
Movie nights in the Plufl will most certainly call for snacks, but what about snacks for your dog? Yaky Charms are a fun, microwavable treat made from Himalayan cheese that dogs absolutely love. You may have even seen them in your dog’s Chewy Good Box before! While a 12-pack may seem like a lot, your dog will most certainly disagree.
Disney fans will love these cozy pj’s from Hanna Andersson, and they even make a pair for your pooch!
Outfit the whole family in these adorable Mickey pajamas from Hanna Andersson. With sizes from XS to XL these pajamas are great for tiny chihuahuas, massive great danes and every dog in between! Not a Disney fan? Try these festive outfits for dogs on for size.
Outward Hound Nina Ottosson interactive dog toys are some of my dogs’ favorite toys
Keeping active dogs busy can be exhausting, especially if they tend to destroy toys quickly. One way to keep high energy dogs entertained is through interactive dog toys. One of my dogs’ favorite interactive toys comes from Nina Ottosson. Toys come in a variety of skill levels so you can really challenge your pup and make play time smarter!
The Eufy Pet dog camera is the best pet surveillance camera we’ve ever tested.
Our choice for best overall pet camera, the Eufy Pet dog camera is the best pet camera we’ve tested. This pet cam offers clear 1080p video resolution at any time of the day and a 170-degree wide-angle view making it easy to watch your pets from anywhere- and it even tosses treats!
Found My Animal makes leashes and pet accessories that are as stylish as they are functional.
Found My Dog handcrafts extra durable leashes in NYC with a mission to give back to rescue organizations around the country. Made with marine-grade nylon rope and brass hardware, these leashes are made to last and they also look really nice. Ideal for hands-free walks, cynophiles will love having their hands free to give their dogs tons of treats! Got a rowdy pooch? Check out the best leashes we’ve found.
Etsy is a great place to find gifts from makers around the world.
If the dog lover in your life also happens to be a jewelry lover you can’t go wrong with a custom ring. This dainty ring features a shadow of your pet alongside their initial and the maker offers a ton of different image options to choose from. Considering the personalization options and the price, this is a great gift under $25.
Dog shoes can be clutch in keeping your dog safe from harsh conditions.
Whether the weather is super hot or freezing cold, dog’s paws are exposed to the elements and while they may look tough, paw pads are actually more sensitive than you may think. Luckily, you can order shoes for dogs. Amazing, we know. These dog shoes get high ratings from pet parents and are great for dogs who don’t take time off for injuries.
Carhartt makes one of our favorite coats for dogs because of the quality and available sizes.
Whether or not your dog needs a sweater or coat is up to you but in my household bright orange is a staple during the winter months. This chore coat from Carhartt is made of their iconic duck canvas with a quilted liner for added insulation and comfort, plus the pockets make it easy for your dog to carry their own poop.
When we tried Paint Your Life we were impressed with the attention to detail and uncanny likeness to the subject.

This protective AirTag holder is handy for dog owners and foster parents alike.

AirTags are useful in a variety of instances and also happen to be a great precaution for people with pets.

Embroidered pet sweatshirts from PetCreativo deliver on quality and attention to detail.
There’s nothing quite like an embroidered item that was made especially for you, especially if it has a couple of cute dogs on it! I found Pet Creativo after scouring Etsy for top rated creators and ended up ordering my boyfriend a sweatshirt featuring our two dogs. From personal experience I can say that ordering is easy and communication is clear. I loved the attention to detail of our dogs and how accurate they were to the photos I provided. The only person that loved it more was my boyfriend and it has quickly become a staple in his wardrobe!
Discover your dog’s genetic health with an accurate DNA kit from Wisdom Panel.
While a DNA kit for your dog may sound silly to some, it can provide you with a lot of information about your pet, making it easier to care for and possibly anticipate what’s to come. When we tested dog DNA kits Wisdom Panel rated Best Overall due to the value and overall quantity of information provided. It’s super easy to gather and submit DNA for analysis and Wisdom Panel also quickly (at least in our experience) delivers a plethora of info about your dog.
