Spoiling your furry best friend (or the amazing human who cares for them) can be fun, but are you having difficulty deciding what to get for them? Whether you’re celebrating the day you got them, the holidays, or want to give a gift for no reason, this list has various options. We’ve compiled 15 gifts that will wag some tails or put a smile on a pet parent’s face.
Interactive puzzle toy
Keep boredom at bay with an interactive puzzle toy. Not your average chew toys—they come loaded with compartments and challenges that require your dog to problem-solve to earn tasty rewards. It’s mental stimulation disguised as playtime, keeping your pup engaged and happy for extended periods.
Snuffle mats
More than just feeding mats—they transform dinnertime into an exciting adventure. These mats mimic the foraging behaviors of dogs, forcing them to sniff out their kibble or hidden delights nestled within the fabric folds. It makes slowing down their eating habits and engaging their instincts fun.
Treat dispensing toys
For playtime with a delicious bonus, go for these interactive playthings in all shapes and sizes, requiring your dog to nudge, paw, or roll them around to release hidden goodies. They provide positive reinforcement training and continue to stimulate your pup mentally and physically.
Fetch toys
For energetic pups who live for chasing and catching, classic fetches like balls, frisbees, and even flying squirrels are perfect, as they provide endless entertainment for throwing arms and tireless canine athletes. Remember to choose the right size and type of toy for your dog’s breed and chewing habits to ensure safety and enjoyability.
Tug toys
Tug toys are more than just chew toys. Tugging satisfies a dog’s chewing instinct while providing a positive outlet for their playful energy. It is a bonding activity which strengthens your relationship and provides exercise for you and your pup. Choose a durable tug toy with strong rope or tough fabric to withstand enthusiastic tugging sessions.
Subscription boxes
These curated packages deliver a selection of goodies straight to your door each month, bringing new and exciting things to explore, chew on, and gobble up. Plus, they keep playtime fresh and their taste buds happy with a constant rotation of fun and tasty discoveries.
Long-lasting chews
Combat boredom and destructive chewing with long-lasting chews. Bully sticks, antlers, and Himalayan chews provide hours of entertainment and satisfaction for your pup’s chompers. Natural options like these will help clean teeth, reduce anxiety, and keep them occupied, preventing them from seeking out your furniture or shoes as a gnawing outlet.
Homemade treats
For the health-conscious pet parent, homemade delicacies are a thoughtful and delicious way to spoil your pup. Endless recipes are available online and in cookbooks featuring healthy and tasty ingredients like fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.
Spa day
Treat your dog to a luxurious spa day and let them melt away stress and tension. Many groomers offer spa packages, including a relaxing bath with a gentle shampoo, a soothing brushout to remove loose fur and tangles, a stylish haircut, and a neat nail trim. Your dog will emerge feeling refreshed, pampered, and looking its absolute best.
A comfortable bed
A cozy bed is a dog’s haven—their little space to relax, unwind, and recharge after a long day of playing, exploring, or napping in sunbeams. Invest in a comfortable, supportive bed with ample space for your dog to sprawl. Consider their age, size, and sleeping style when choosing a bed.
