2015 Holiday Gift Giving Ideas for Dogs
The holiday season is in full swing and if you’re like many people, you may be looking for a special gift for the dog or dog lover in your life.
We’ve written about gift giving ideas before, but we’ve updated this list for 2015. Instead of a new squeaky toy or a dog bone, here are some cool ideas that will appeal to a variety of dogs and people!
Are you looking for ideas for the active dog in your life?
Ideal for people who like to run with their dogs, the Stunt Runner is a leash that attaches to your waist and has stretch in it to absorb variations in stride between the two of you.
If the dog likes to fetch, there’s no better gift than a Chuckit ball launcher. Inexpensive and available everywhere.
For the dog who loves surprises year round.
Give him a BarkBox monthly gift delivery package plan! Each month for as many months as you purchase, the recipient of the gift will receive a box of goodies delivered to him. The gift that keeps on giving!
Do you know someone who likes to travel with their dog?
If so, consider the K-9 Cube by Mountainsmith. It’s luggage for your dog! It’s an organizer with a food container, collapsible dishes for food and water, and more.
What about people who hike with their dog?
Consider the Singletrak Pack from Ruffwear. It’s a low-profile hydration pack so dogs can stay hydrated during the hike. There are also additional pockets to store other essentials.
For the techie who always wants to know what’s going on with their dog.
Consider an activity tracker so you can monitor what your dog really does during the day. There are a number of these on the market from Tractive, Whistle, FitBark, Voyce, and more. They offer different features so do your homework.
Do you miss your dog and want to chat with him during the day? PetChatz is a device that allows pet owners to check in with their dogs while away by initiating a two-way video call. It also has a way for your dog to call you. Sounds way too cool to me!
Dogs who get bored being left alone during the day?
For these dogs, puzzle toys work best to keep them occupied for hours. A new one on the market is called Foobler and promises to keep your dog engaged for up to 9 hours! Research the best one for your dog.
Do you know someone who would love to massage their dog but doesn’t know how?
From Amazon, purchase a massage how-to book from Rocky’s Retreat co-owner Sherri Cappabianca. Full of photos this book clearly demonstrates the different strokes you can use to give your dog a great massage.
Is your dog lover interested in aromatherapy but doesn’t know how to use essential oils with animals?
Here’s a great book by one of the world’s foremost authorities on aromatherapy for animals, Nayana Morag.
While this is by no means a comprehensive list of gift giving ideas, hopefully it will help you think and find the best holiday gift for the dog lover in your life.
