If you’re a pet lover, then you already know the joy that comes with giving your companion holiday-related gifts. Christmas is a popular season where pet owners look for something special for their pooch, feline, feathered friend, or other bundle of fur. To get you started in the right direction, consider the following gift ideas for pets:

Christmas Outfits

Get your pet in the holiday spirit with a new outfit. A few ideas include sweaters (like the Twinkling Star Holiday Dog Sweater shown), reversible bandanas, reindeer antlers, and even a Calvin K-nine Holiday Necktie. Smaller dogs open up the possibility of having your own miniature Santa or elf running around the house.

Gift Baskets for Pets

Whether you make your own holiday basket for the special animal in your life or purchase a pre-made assortment of goodies, pets enjoy gift baskets too. For example, the You & Your Pooch!: Pet / Dog Gift Basket makes a delightful holiday gift. In this case, both owner and pet get to enjoy the contents, which includes a magnetic pet frame, dog memo pads, Munchy Bones, and gourmet dog biscuits.

Canine Stockings

Stockings aren’t just for humans, as pets get benefit from a Christmas stocking made just for them. During the holidays, it’s easy to find stockings to fit the occasion. Some of the items that you may find include plush toys with squeaker, rubber rings, rope toys, and rawhide treats.

Stimulating Bird Toys

Birds enjoy being stimulated on a routine basis and what better time than to treat your feathered friend to the challenging Brainy Bird Building Flocks Toy. Geared towards larger birds, such as parrots and cockatiels, the toy is comprised of colorful wood blocks attached to a cotton rope with the stimulating sound of a bell. The wooden shapes, sound, and chewing outlet will keep a bird entertained for hours.

Pet Bed

From eco-friendly bedding to a cozy memory foam pad for dogs, no pet will turn away from a new place to lay their head. If you’re looking for a product from a name you can trust, perhaps the Dog Whisperer by Cesar Millan Round Cuddle Up Dog Bed (shown) is a possibility. Filled with sustainable recycled polyester, this is also a choice that won’t place a strain on the environment. Cats also enjoy a place to cuddle and snuggle throughout the night. The Cat Cave Cat Bed not only accommodates cats, but is also a winner with small dogs and ferrets.

According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association’s most recent National Pet Owners Survey, there are about 77.5 million owned dogs in the US. Thirty-nine percent of US households own at least one dog, with nearly one out of four owning two dogs. So chances are you’ve got dog lovers in your life. If you’ve ever wondered how to find unique, wearable gifts for dogs, we’ve got some suggestions.

Paw Paws Collars

Most pet owners want their dogs to reflect them, and that includes the style of collar their pooch wears. If a plain color won’t do, check out the collars at Paw Paws where they’ve got everything from the Camo Collection for outdoor enthusiasts or the Christmas Collection to celebrate the upcoming holiday season.

Tree Parlor Clothing

You take your dog for a walk, but you end up holding the, um, pooh. It’s not fair, right? Well, give the gift of the Upcycle Saddle Wags from Tree Parlor. It’s a dog outfit made from recycled t-shirts. Pockets are incorporated into the design so the pooch can be the one to carry his own doo-doo.

The Rover Necktie

For sophisticated dogs, check out The Rover Necktie or The Rover Pointed Collar available from Etsy shop RoverDog. At just $15, it’s a fun and unique gift your pet-loving friend will adore.

Custom Tu-Tu

If male doggies get neckties and collars, then females get a custom tu-tu from SugarBearsPamperedPets.com. They come in any size and color– plus they’re completely customizable. With a gift like this everyone will know they’re dealing with a pampered pooch.

Collar Charms

For dogs who prefer not to play dress up, give a clever collar charm from ScootersFriends.com. They come etched with sayings like “Pup Cake” and “Happy Dog.” They’ll attach easily to just about any dog collar. Think of it as bling for Buster!

With millions of pet owners stretching across the world, the number of thoughtful, creative, and useful gifts for dog lovers is endless. When it comes to pleasing some family and friends, putting Fido first is a must.
Including pets into your gift-giving plans will send a message that you’ve gone the extra mile to care about the same things they do. It doesn’t take much to satisfy a dog lover – consider the following gifts:

Picture Frame

What better gift for a dog lover than to have a friendly reminder of the slobbery welcome or boundless ball of energy waiting for their return home. Choose a dog-themed picture frame to liven up an office setting, such as the Bone Shape Paw Prints Photo Frame or Man’s Best Friend© Personalized Frame, which offers an easel back design for table top display.

Calendar

Calendars with dog themes come dime a dozen, but for computer savvy family and friends, choose a Design your own Pet Calendar, which creates an 11″ x 17″ durable wall calendar with a plastic spine. With adorable pet photos and drawings, use Art Pages and markers to decorate each month of the year. The set shown comes with the choice to send materials in for production or use digital photos and provided Internet drawing tools to make an entire calendar online.

Relaxing Collar

For the dog lover whose recently welcomed a new furry addition to the family, make the transition less stressful by gifting the D.A.P. (Dog Appeasing Pheromone) Collar, which actually mimics the pheromone that mother dogs produce to calm and comfort her puppies. The collar comes in two sizes: Puppy/Small (for up to 15-inch necks) and Medium/Large (for up to 25-inch necks).

Cups and Mugs

For those who need coffee to jumpstart their morning, cups and mugs highlighting pet breeds make a popular present for dog lovers. This personalized Stainless Steel Travel Mug comes in 84 unique breed designs with scripted names in red. Commuters will appreciate this travel mug that holds nearly 2 cups of coffee. For office and home drinkers, Personalization Mall also offers an equally pleasing White Ceramic Coffee Mug with an artistic sketch of specified dog breeds.

All-Natural Snacks

If you’re looking for an item to include in a gift basket for dog lovers, consider healthy treats for their faithful companion. For example, Zuke’s Mini Naturals Dog Treats offers a wholesome blend of natural ingredients in their Chicken, Peanut Butter, and Salmon treats. This made-in-the-USA product uses meats, grains, fruits and vegetables to create semi-moist mini-treats – only 2 calories – meaning the snacks accommodate the diet of pooches of all sizes. No artificial colors, flavors or additives – just a combination of high-quality proteins and grains that pack a satisfying boost of vitamins and minerals.
