The holiday season is here, and while you’re busy creating your own wish list and shopping for friends and family, don’t forget about your most loyal companion – your furry four-legged friend.

Whether you have a high-energy adventure dog who loves outdoor gear, a couch potato who appreciates maximum comfort, or a treat-motivated pooch who lives for snacks, there’s a perfect gift waiting to be unwrapped.
From tech-enhanced interactive toys that keep them mentally stimulated to cozy beds that provide ultimate comfort, the world of dog gifts has never been more exciting. We’ve scoured the market to find presents that are not just fun, but also practical, safe, and guaranteed to show your canine companion just how much they mean to you. So grab a cup of hot cocoa, settle in with your furry friend, and get ready to discover the most tail-wagging, treat-worthy gifts of the season.
Elk Antlers
I swear these are the only truly long-lasting chews on the market. These are split in half and are great for my dog who isn’t a super aggressive chewer, but you can also find them whole on Amazon if your dog powers through regular chews. They are tough though so you do still want to always supervise your dog while they chew.
Beef Liver Treats
I have a highly treat-motivated Bernese Mountain Dog named Sully and these are currently his favorite treats. I actually use them as toppers on his meal and he goes absolutely nuts for them. But my favorite part about these treats is that they are made with 100% human-grade beef liver and are packed with protein, vitamins, minerals, omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids, and essential amino acids that promote healthy digestion, strong teeth and gums, and a shiny, vibrant coat.
Embark DNA Test for Dogs
If you adopted your dog from a shelter, there’s a good chance it’s a mix of at least a couple of breeds. Knowing your dog’s breed breakdown can be an advantage when it comes to their health and this particular dog DNA test from Embark also includes screening for over 200 genetic health risks.
This Dog’s Life Bye Bye Doggy Aches
Don’t forget the senior dogs on your list: These vet-formulated supplements from pet parent site This Dog’s Life‘s house-label of wellness products for pups helps alleviate hip, joint and arthritis pain. Ingredients such as glucosamine, manganese green-lipped mussels provide joint lubrication and support collagen production for less aches after just two weeks of regular use.
PupCloud™ Human-Size Faux Fur Memory Foam Dog Bed
Attention big dog owners! If you’ve struggled for YEARS to find a bed that’s actually large enough for your giant dog to stretch out on, look no further. This ultra-comfy bed is not only big enough for big dogs but also for humans. And as an added bonus, it’s deeply discounted right now! My dog weighs 150 pounds and we can both snuggle on this comfortably with room to spare!

Why not give a gift that lasts all year long? Every BarkBox has two innovative toys, two bags of all-natural treats and a chew made in the USA. Every box is curated with a different theme and an entirely brand new experience. BarkBox subscriptions start as low as $29 a month.
Petcube
We love to spy on our pets while we’re away and make sure they’re not getting into any trouble. This genius invention, the Petcube, lets you check up on your pup while you’re away from home and missing them.
Blue Buffalo Holiday Santa Snacks
Oven-baked with the best ingredients, including oatmeal, cinnamon, pumpkin, flaxseed and carrots, these Blue Buffalo Santa Snacks make the “paw-fect” stocking stuffers for your furry BFF.
Bully Sticks
These are hands down Sully’s favorite treat. He goes nuts for them, and I love knowing that they’re totally digestible and safe for him to chow down on. These particular bully sticks are also odor free, so your dog can chew them in your home without needing to burn a candle to mask the smell.
Ultra-Durable Chew Toy
If you have an aggressive chewer, this is the toy for you. Practically indestructible, this ring is non-toxic and made from natural rubber.
Ultimate Pawprint Keepsake Kit
OK, fine, this gift is really for you; but we can think of no better gift than to capture your furry friend’s paw with this Ultimate Pawprint Keepsake Kit for many more Christmases to come.
Original PupRug Dog Bed
Dog bed, but make it fashion. This comfy and cozy bed also doubles as stylish rug for your home. So it’s really a gift for your dog and you.
Vegan Leather Leash & Collar
Leather collars look good on every dog but we definitely feel guilty purchasing leather. This one is 100% vegan so you can enjoy the gorgeous leather aesthetic without any of the guilt.
Stylish Bandana
Dogs, they sure do love to wander; so, why not equip them with a stylish bandana that boasts exactly the lifestyle they love to live?
