10 Original Christmas Gifts for your Dog or Dog Lover
Just in time for the pooch (or pooch lover) in your life we present our Top 10 list of great gifts.
10. Music Pets Love: The Holiday Edition
I have to admit, I thought the whole music for dogs thing was probably a crock. But reading through all the positive reviews of the While You Are Gone series, I’ve been converted. The series features soothing music mixed with nature sounds designed to keep your pup relaxed while you are out. You can also download individual songs from Amazon.com to try it out.
While You Are Gone: The Holiday Edition ($13.98)
9. Acqua Bol Travel Water Bowl
The Acqua Bol is a credit card sized folding water bowl available in three stylish colors. It’s tiny size means you can stuff it in your purse, glove compartment or even wallet and it’s re-usable hundreds of times. Acqua Bols are available in three colors and include a two-year warranty.
Acqua Bol ($5.99)
8. Custom Dog ID Tag
Let your dog express their individuality with one of these funky ID tags from shefeltpink’s etsy shop. Send in a picture of your pooch, choose your colors and font, and shefeltpink will design a personalized tag as original as your dog. The reverse of the tag includes all the important details should your pup get lost. If you’ve never shopped at etsy.com before, take a look, it’s like an eBay for crafters and designers.
Custom ID Tag ($10.00)
7. Make Your Own Holiday Biscuits
Let’s face it, your dog would be excited to receive a couple of milkbones for Christmas, but why not bake them a special treat. This holiday recipe for red and green holiday biscuits is made with spinach and parmesan is sure to delight your four legged friends. They would also make great, inexpensive gifts for friends and family with pooches. (pic courtesy of flickr)
Holiday Biscuits (FREE)
6. Humunga Tongue
This is a hilarious fetch toy that is sure to entertain. The Humunga Tongue is shaped like a huge tongue with a ball on the end. Barrells of laughter ensue.
Humunga Tongue ($7 to $9)
5. Bowser Beer Beefy Brown Ale
Enjoy a beer with your best friend. Bowser Beer is a non-alcoholic beer for dogs made from real beef broth, malt barley and glucosamine. From the product description: “Is your dog drinking responsibly? No joke…real beer is not good for dogs. Bowser Beer™ is a fun; healthy; non-alcoholic beer for dogs. It can be served straight out of the bottle; or as a topping on dry food.”
Bowser Beer Beefy Brown Ale ($19.99)
4. Official Pet Jerseys
Dress your pup like an all-star with an officially licensed jersey. Each jersey is just like the original human version, although you can’t personalize the numbers or name. You can choose from almost any team in the NFL, NBA, MLB, NHL or the NCAA.
Licensed Sports Jerseys for Dogs ($30 to $40)
3. Hyper Products Doggie Driver
Practice your golf swing while playing with your dog. The Doggie Driver works just like a regular driver except it holds a tennis ball in the face of the club. The best part is, you can use the driver to pick up the ball, so there’s no bending over.
Doggie Driver ($26.99)
2. Nina Ottosson’s Puzzle Toys for Dogs
Nina Ottosson designs amazing puzzles for dogs that keep them entertained while exercising their brains. These activity toys let your dog work with problem solving in different ways by finding hidden dog snacks, for example lifting or pushing blocks, pushing pieces, turning discs, or putting blocks inside something.
Educational Toys for Dogs ($40 to $70)
1. Woofy-Pop Popcorn for Dogs
Woofy-Pop is microwaveable popcorn for dogs, but fit for human consumption. I can attest to the fact it tastes great. We had some bags sitting around and a friend popped one in the microwave not knowing it was for the dogs. He ate half the bag before we told him, and he kept on eating after he knew. Popcorn is actually a healthy and safe treat for dogs. Woof-Pop is available in 4 flavors; chicken, bacon, filet mignon and cheddar.
Woofy-Pop Variety Pack ($6.36)
There you have it folks. I think there’s something in there for every dog. If you’ve come across any other cool dog gifts or toys, please feel free to drop us a comment.
