Christmas Gift Guide: for Dogs

I love spoiling my dog, and I spend more money on him nearer Christmas time. I especially love to tease him leading up to Christmas with his presents. If I've bought him a squeaky toy, i'll wrap it up and squeak it from time to time. It gets him so excited and curious. Then Christmas Day comes and he can, with some help, open his present! 

This year I won't be buying him individual presents, instead I've bought him a box from The Tail Wagger, as they had a 50% code over Black Friday Weekend. I chose the medium sized box, meaning I'd get 4-6 items chosen based on the profile of my dog. This would be a really nice surprise for my dog and I, as I always buy him the same treats. I can't wait for it to arrive!

Whether you're a new dog owner or not, or you love your friend's dog, here are some gift ideas for the dogs in your life:



1. Pet Munchies Chicken Breast Fillets 
Made from finest quality white breast meat they are low in fat and high in protein. Slow roasting in their own natural juices preserves the real flavour of the chicken. Dogs of all sizes love them,and regular chewing will help to remove plaque. - Barkster
There are also Venison Strips, Duck and Liver treats from the same company. I know my dog loves 100% meat treats, so these would be perfect.

2. Kong Classic
My little Freddie gets a bit frustrated when he can't get his treat, but it does keep him occupied for awhile! My dog also hates peanut butter, so I can't stuff it with that like some websites suggested, so I just rip up a treat and stuff it in there. You can buy a Kong toy from loads of pet websites and stores as they're so popular. The prices range from place to place and also depending on the size of the Kong, I bought mine from eBay as it was the cheapest. 

3. Rosewood Chubleez 
Chewing stuff is great fun...but sometimes all you really want to do is cuddle. Our appealing designs use assorted fabrics and loads of stuffing to create a great ‘mouth feel’, but all some dogs want to do is find the ‘hidden’ squeak! - Rosewood
My dog loves his little doughnut toy, it's super soft and has one squeaker inside. Once he's found the squeaker he gently bites down to make a squeak, and he genuinely looks quite proud of himself. I think Rosewood have done a great line of toys for moments like these! You can buy Rosewood toys from retails like John Lewis and Amazon.

4. Travel Bowls
Are you the type of person to take your dog out wherever you go? I know I am! These bowls are collapsible so they wont take up much room in your bag. These are great for long car journeys and really long walks in the summer. Pet London currently have a special offer on travel bowls.

5. Bow Tie Collars
Make your dog look super handsome with a bow tie collar! They'll look like they're off to a bow-tie evening and will get everyone swooning with how cute they are. Pet London have some cute tweed bow tie collars.

A lot of people give their dogs much more food during Christmas time, as they want their pet to feel part of the family. But remember: do NOT give your dog sultanas or raisins from your mince pie as these are very toxic to dogs, turkey skin is very fattening, gravy is too salty and onions can kill. If you want to make your dog a Christmas dinner, you can include potatoes, turkey meat and any vegetables like peas and carrots to their bowl. 

What are you going to get your dog this Christmas?
