43 Adorable Pet Gifts to Give Your Furry Companion This Christmas

If there's anyone in our lives who deserves to be showered in gifts and treats as much as possible, it's dogs. They provide unconditional love, cuddles, and they're never judgmental (plus, they're pretty darn cute, too). Still, it can be surprisingly hard to come up with fun, creative, and practical gifts for pets. The shopping process can lead to thoughts like: Are they really going to like those fancy treats? Are they going to ignore a new bed and instead keep sleeping on their beloved spot on the couch? Do they really need another new toy? Still, buying gifts for dogs (and dog lovers) can be a fun process if you just know where to look.

Whether you opt for a custom pet portrait, some outdoor gear for a dog that likes to go on long walks and roll around in the mud, or just some special, homemade treats, showing your dog (and the do lovers) in your life some extra love and attention is always a good idea. Just remember, buying gifts for dogs is a lot like shopping for Christmas gifts or birthday presents for humans — it's the thought that counts more than anything else.
