The 16 Best Gifts for Dogs and the People Who Love Them

If you or someone you know has a pup in their life, you also know that giving the best dog toys and gifts can be a big hit because it makes them both happy! That’s why we put together this list of dog gifts to help you with your holiday shopping. So, whether you’re looking for the perfect present for a longtime dog parent or gifts for new dog owners, you’ve come to the right place to make it the best holiday ever for them all!

Gifts for more freedom in their yard

Stay & Play Compact Wireless Fence

Dog fences are wonderful gifts that let pups safely enjoy their yard, and the Stay & Play Compact Wireless Fence is quick and easy to set up. Its compact transmitter won’t take a lot of space, and there are no wires to bury. Just plug in the transmitter indoors and set up your new wireless fence in about 1-2 hours. The circular, wireless boundary adjusts to fit yards up to 3/4-acre, and since this fence is wireless, you can take it with you on vacations, camping trips or wherever you and your pup go.

Gifts for better walks

Easy® Walk Harness

The Easy Walk® Harness helps dogs and dog parents enjoy easier, more relaxed walks without pulling or tugging. With its patented Martingale loop and front chest leash attachment, the harness minimizes your dog’s pulling by gently steering him in the direction you are headed. The harness is designed to rest across your dog’s chest instead of his throat, keeping your dog from gagging and choking. The Easy Walk® Harness comes in a variety of colors and designs so you can choose the perfect look for your next walk.

Gifts for better hydration

Drinkwell® 1 Gallon Fountain and Drinkwell® 2 Gallon Fountain

Did you know that your pet needs 1 ounce of water per 1 pound they weigh every day? Regardless of the size of your pet’s thirst, the Drinkwell® 1 Gallon Fountain and Drinkwell® 2 Gallon fountain are both excellent ways to encourage your pets to drink more water.

Both 1 and 2 gallon fountains give pets a choice of drinking from the bowl or the adjustable free-falling stream, so even timid pets will feel comfortable drinking from their new fountain. In addition, both fountains use dual-filtration technology to remove pet hair, debris, bad tastes and odors to keep water fresh.

Gifts that feed dogs on time

Smart Feed Automatic Feeder

Thanks to the Smart Feed Automatic Feeder, you can feed your pup anywhere from your smartphone, so you'll never be late for mealtimes again. You can even use an Amazon Echo device to ask Alexa to give your pup a snack! In addition, the feeder comes with a low food sensor to notify your phone when running low on kibble, and you can even set the feeder to reorder food through Amazon Dash.

The Automatic 2 Meal Pet Feeder

Whether you’re at work or just trying to sleep in, The Automatic 2 Meal Pet Feeder is a simple solution to keeping small to medium-sized dogs on a consistent schedule with consistent portions. Setting a feeding time is easy; just turn the dial timers to schedule 2 mealtimes in ½-hour increments up to 24 hours in advance. In addition, the feeder is also an easy way to surprise your dog with a scheduled treat – which will certainly make his day better!

Gifts for interactive playtime

Automatic Ball Launcher

There’s nothing like interactive dog toys to keep your pup busy. If your dog loves to play fetch, the PetSafe® Automatic Ball Launcher is the ultimate dog toy to keep him busy. The water-resistant launcher has built-in safety features to keep both people and pets safe during indoor or outdoor play. The launcher sends standard-sized tennis balls between 8-30 feet and up to a 45-degree angle. So, if your dog likes to fetch – this is the toy that will keep him coming back for more.

Kibble Chase™ Roaming Treat Dropper

Dogs love treats, and they enjoy chasing toys. The Kibble Chase™ Roaming Treat Dropper lets them do both. Just load it with up to half a cup of kibble, turn it on and watch your dog have the time of his life. The toy works by rolling in random directions while dispensing treats; it also has durable rubber wheels that roll quietly on most indoor surfaces. If your dog eats too fast, the Kibble Chase™ can also act as a slow feeder that holds up to half a cup of kibble.

Gifts for dogs who love to chew

Busy Buddy® Toys are one of the favorite toys to keep dogs busy because they combine tasty treats to engage your pup for hours. These are perfect dog toys for puppies and tough chewers because they’re made from durable, non-toxic nylon and rubber. They’re also easy to clean by placing them on the top shelf of your dishwasher. Lastly, Busy Buddy® Toys promote good dental hygiene with textured surfaces to help clean your dog’s teeth and stimulate gums.

The Busy Buddy Chompin’ Chicken

The Busy Buddy® Chompin’ Chicken is a chicken-scented drumstick-shaped chew toy that lets you dial up the flavor with treat rings you can add by unscrewing the end. For extra tastiness, you can push more treat rings through the grooves of the drumstick to keep your dog entertained even longer. Want to boost the flavor even more? Just smear nut butter or doggie toothpaste in the outside grooves.

The Busy Buddy Cravin’ Corncob

The Busy Buddy® Cravin’ Corncob is a butter-scented corn-shaped dog toy that you can add up to 2 treat rings by unscrewing the ends of the corncob and sliding them on. It also acts like a toothbrush with built-in bristles that help clean teeth and stimulate gums. For double the fun, you can smear nut butter or doggie toothpaste on the corn kernels to keep your dog entertained even longer.

The Busy Buddy Slab o’ Sirloin

You know your dog wants a steak for the holidays. Now you can give him one with the beef-scented Busy Buddy® Slab o’ Sirloin. This steak does not come with a side of salad; it has treats! You can add up to 2 treat rings to the Busy Buddy® Slab o’ Sirloin in the refillable SnapFit™ treat-holding cups. To boost the flavor, you can smear nut butter (or even doggie toothpaste) in the grooves on the back of the sirloin to keep your dog entertained even longer.

The Frosty Cone

There’s never a bad time for ice cream cones, and the vanilla-scented Frosty Cone is designed with dogs in mind. Just fill and freeze with dog-safe foods like nut butter, broth, meats and veggies. You can also fill it with your dog’s wet food for a slow feed option he can savor, making this a holiday treat that’s good for him too.
