Christmas Gift Guide for Dogs

Before you decide on what to get your dog this Christmas, think about what they like. If they love to play then a new toy could be the answer. If they love a midday snooze, then a blanket or bed could make their day. If they're food obsessed, then treats are an obvious choice. The only limit is your imagination. 

That said, we have put together some suggestions below, so if you're struggling to pick or you're buying for a dog that's not yours, read on!

Christmas and toys have gone hand in hand for centuries, and while they’ve not been made by elves or delivered in a sleigh, we have a fantastic range of dog Christmas toys to find the best pick for your dog.

Of course, finding the best dog toy is no easy feat, and not all dogs toys are made equal. Consider how your dog treats their current toys and how they prefer to play, and decide what type would suit them best. 

Our top recommendations for dog christmas toys: 

• For dogs that are big softies at heart, a plush dog toy like this Sprout Plush Christmas Dog Toy. It's even ball shaped, making it perfect for playtime!
• For active dogs that are always moving, why not try an interactive dog toy like this All For Paws Interactives Fetch'N Treat Dog Toy or have a look at other ball or fetch toys.
• For dogs that love to chew, you can't go wrong with a dog chew toy. For larger dogs, make sure to choose something strong, durable, and long lasting like this Ancol Extreme Tyre Dog Toy.
• For multiple dogs, preventing jealousy is key, so pick a toy with some variety, like the KONG® Holiday Wubba Toy available in three festive friend designs. Same toy, different look! 
• For the brain box, why not gift them a new dog puzzle toy to crack, like this Nina Ottosson® Hide n' Slide Puzzle Game, perfect for dogs with super snoots!

Even if you don't have a dog of your own, you can still buy gifts for the people who are close to you and their furry friends! Here are some of our top recommendations of dog owner christmas presents:

• Get them something they need: owning a dog means buying things that tend to run out, like poo bags or dog treats, so why not stock up for them by building a bundle of little gifts that make all the difference. 
• Get their dog something: sometimes knowing someone cares about the things you care about is a gift all of its own, so why not get their dog something new, like a toy, or that new harness their owner's been eyeing up. 
• Donate to a cause: gifts don't have to be material, and donating in their name shows you care as much as them. Plus, if you donate to help a dog in need, it's like you're giving two presents! 
• Ask them what they want: not all dog owners want something dog related as a gift, so why not ask them what would make their Christmas?

Regardless of how you choose to celebrate the holidays, giving your dog a present—even if it's just an old toy that's been wrapped up—can help distract them from the chaos of Christmas while still including them in the festivities.
