With Christmas only a week away, I’d think you’re (hopefully…) more or less done your Christmas shopping. While you may have the people in your life covered, you can’t forget about your furry friend who gives you unconditional love all year round. Puppies deserve to celebrate Christmas too, and if there’s one gift recipient who won’t mind a belated gift, it’s your pup! Granted, presents for your pup are really just presents for you…but a happy dog and a happy owner go hand in hand! I recruited my boyfriend’s dog-obsessed sister Marta to compile a list of goodies that you can put under the tree for your dog this Christmas. You can count on Marta’s opinion; she sure knows her dogs, and what’s good (and not so good) for them! Here are some websites that Marta suggested, and I pulled a few options from each. We’ve divided it into Products & Treats…happy shopping!
If you’re looking for the best all-around pet lover gift, Barkbox is THE best option. Marta is subscribed, and the quality of the box contents is out of this world. It’s full of toys and treats that your pup will ADORE, and there’s the added fun for you to open up each month’s box.
Products
Marta’s Opinion: “Amazing high quality beds. Pricey but worth the money you pay and SO MANY patterns/styles/fabrics to choose from! Also, I’m almost positive these are Canadian (ps- they are!)”
My Picks: Bowser Ball ($40) & Buttercup ($50)
Marta’s Opinion: “Honestly just so cute. Great quality jackets, not too pricey, and SO adorable. Also Canadian!”
My Picks: Cityscape coat & Polar Vortex vest.
Marta’s Opinion: “Stuff for the hoomans! SO CUTE! I have a bumper sticker from here. Tons of super cute T-shirts and accessories.”
My Picks: Sticker ($2) and Mug ($12).
Marta’s Opinion: “Awesome durable toys (better than Kong, I would say…). They are guaranteed for a 1-time replacement at most stores! Also have beds and cat stuff!”
My Picks: Zogoflex Hurley ($11) & Hemp Ella ($15) dog toys.
Treats
Marta’s Opinion: “This is where “Bark & Fitz” (and the places that are no longer Bark & Fitz, but used to be) gets their bakery cookies from. High quality cookies and all natural ingredients.”
My Picks: Hot Doggie ($2.50) & Wheat Free Squirrels ($1).
Marta’s Opinion: “Canadian company, all amazing natural ingredients, so many flavours to choose from. Fresh, local ingredients from Canadian farmers.”
My Picks: Applewood Recipe Dental Chews.
