True story: I got these for my then-boyfriend as a Christmas present and years later he wore them on our wedding day! You can't include two dogs on one pair, so I opted to get two pair — one for each dog. Now he can mix and match so both pups get all the love.

practical gift idea

Aquapaw 4-in-1 Dog Bath Brush

Editor’s Choice
Aquapaw 4-in-1 Dog Bath Brush

This dog bath brush has quite honestly revolutionized wash time for me and my pups. Instead of fighting with the extendable shower head and hoping I don't get sprayed in the face, I can just press a button on this brush and the water flow completely stops. I also love that the brush gets deep into my dog's fur, as they both are long-haired and love to roll around in the dirt.

best dog bed

PetFusion Ultimate Dog Bed

PetFusion Ultimate Dog Bed

Our best-tested dog bed, this orthopedic bed is perfect for just about any pup, from puppies (as long as they're past the chewing phase) to seniors. Our tester loved the bolster edges the gave him a spot to lay his head and the memory foam mattress that is supportive yet soft.

if her dog loves to be outside

MudBuster Portable Dog Paw Cleaner

MudBuster Portable Dog Paw Cleaner

I wish I was joking when I said that I use the MudBuster every day. My dogs are notorious for tracking mud and dirt inside, so I always give their paws a quick rinse/scrub with the MudBuster before they come inside from the backyard. This is an absolute necessity for any dog owner whose pup loves being outdoors.

if her pup is a messy eater

Dog Mat for Food Bowl

Dog Mat for Food Bowl

We may love our dogs, but no one likes accidentally stepping in the trail of water they left beside their dog bowl. This cute gingham pet mat will look stylish on her floor and work double duty by containing the mess her pup makes.

for the tidy pet owner

Country Living Pet Treat Storage Canisters

Country Living Pet Treat Storage Canisters

Treats? Must have. Treat bags all over the kitchen? Pass. These pet storage canisters are the perfect place for her to wrangle her pup's necessities, from food and treats to medications and leashes.

if her dog eats too fast

Ceramic Slow Feeder

Ceramic Slow Feeder

If her pup can't help but guzzle down their food, then you definitely want to snag her this slow feeder dog bowl. Not only is scarfing down food too quickly a bit unsightly (so unladylike, Fido!), but it's also dangerous, and can lead to choking, stomach turning, and other potentially fatal outcomes.

9
if he's always showing you his dog pics

Furbo 360° Dog Camera

Furbo 360° Dog Camera

Our best-tested pet camera, the Furbo will allow him to keep an eye on his precious pooch at all times — and even toss them a treat or two. While many pet cameras have low-quality video and fail to show the entire room, the Furbo does a top-tier job of delivering the best video and getting every possible view of pets.

for the cyclist

Bike Tow Leash

Bike Tow Leash

There's no good way to include your dog on a bike ride with a standard leash — it's always going to be dangerous for human and pup. That's where the Bike Tow Leash comes in. It prevents tangling and steering sideways thanks to the inflexible leash that connects dog to bike. This is the best gift for any cyclist in your life who wants to spend a little more time with their furry best friend.

14
for the water-loving pup

Dog Pool Float

Dog Pool Float

Any water-loving pup can enjoy some floating relaxation when they have this lounger. It's puncture-resistant and semi-submersible, so owners can rest easy that it won't be damaged by dog nails and pups can get a comfortable flow of water to help stay cool.

Custom Pet Portrait

Editor’s Choice
Custom Pet Portrait

There are few gifts a pup parent will love more than seeing their four-legged family member's face immortalized—speaking from experience. I've received a pet portrait and given quite a few myself, and it's always a winner of a gift for any occasion, from birthdays to anniversaries to Christmas.

Personalized Pet Portrait Necklace

Show them how much you care about their pups with these sweet charm necklace. You can add additional charms (for pet owners of multiple pups) and choose from silver, rose gold, or gold. Just take one look at the reviews to see how totally accurate the portrait etching is. "The engraving is so well done and looks exactly like the photos that were sent," says one reviewer. "I have yet to take it off and haven’t experienced any tarnishing or rashes on my neck. The pendants feel sturdy and are thicker than I thought they would be."

Pro tip: this is a great gift for any dog lover, but fans of bulldogs, Boston Terriers, and Shiba Inus will really love these socks. Be sure to check out the Husky and German Shepherd version as well as the corgis-only and pugs-only options, too!

for the pet owner who talks to her dog

Talking Pet Starter Set

Editor’s Choice
Talking Pet Starter Set

We're sure most dog lovers have seen the videos on social media of pets communicating with owners using these buttons. While we may think we know exactly what our dogs are trying to tell us, I think we can all admit that we sometimes cycle through the options before landing on exactly what Fido wants. Get them their own set of these buttons paired with a how-to book from the dog who started it all.
