5. Step Stairs
If you have a short dog, the struggle is real when it comes to getting up on the couch or bed. Stairs are a great way that they can easily access those harder to reach places without you having to go help them each time. This gift is as much for you as it is for them haha.
5. Puppy Peanut Butter
When it comes to snacks and treats, this one is a fan favorite. You can fill their toys with it or get a lick mat (below) to keep them occupied and give them a rewarding activity they will certainly enjoy.

Every puppy needs a good blanket they can snuggle with, especially if you don’t want them using all of your blankets. This one is super soft and will easily become their favorite way to cuddle and get comfy.
8. Toy Basket
This toy basket is too cute! It’s always helpful to have a dedicated place for their toys, especially if they have a lot (guilty dog parent here haha). If they have too many toys for one basket, you can get one for downstairs and one for upstairs to make sure there is always a place to put their toys close by.
9. Puppy Heartbeat Toy
This toy is similar to a lovey or a stuffed animal you would give to your small child as a baby. This one is really cool because is has a heartbeat in it so your pup will feel as if they are sleeping with their mom or siblings.
It’s a super good way for them to adjust being away from their family.
10. Paw Wipes
Nothing is worse than your dog tracking dirt in the house after going on a walk. Keep a pack of these wipes by the door for a quick and easy way to get the dirt off their paws and keep your floors clean (or at least as clean as they can be with a dog).

This pet shampoo will be your new go-to that will leave your furry friend super soft and with a shiny brand new coat. It also smells heavenly, unlike a lot of other dog shampoos.

13. Grooming Brush
When it comes to bath time, your furry friend could probably use a good scrub to make sure they are squeaky clean. This silicone brush is super soft and gentle so you don’t have to worry about over exfoliating, especially if they have sensitive skin.
It also dispenses the shampoo which makes life so much easier and will free up a hand.
14. Slanted Pet Bowls
Slanted pet bowls makes it easier when it comes to feeding time, especially for the dogs with shorter legs.

If it’s your pups first Christmas, a walk set will be the best present you could ever give them. Plus you will have a matching collar, Leahs, and poo bag holder, so even your puppy will look put-together.

For the smaller dogs, a pet sling makes it so much easier to pick them up and carry them with you wherever you go. It’s a great option for bringing your dog in stores with you and around town. Even if places don’t like you bringing in a dog, they usually don’t mind if you have them in a sling or bag.
18. Tumbler Toy
This has got to be one of the cutest dog toys. I mean, if you have a Stanley tumbler, why shouldn’t your furry friend have one too?
19. Dog Bed
This dog bed is super cute and cozy. I bought it for my dog and it is by far her favorite bed to snuggle up on.

With this treat maker and an easy and healthy recipe to make delicious dog treats your furry friend will go crazy for, this will make your pup love you even more.

When the weather gets cold and your dog’s fur coat is not enough to keep them warm, a puffer will make sure they stay warm so they can still go on walks and enjoy being outside without freezing.
This paired with the booties makes the perfect winter outfit to keep your dog warm and protected during the winter.
22. Interactive Camera
I don’t think there is a person out there who doesn’t feel bad when leaving their dog. an interactive camera is a great way to make sure your fur baby is safe and not getting into things because let’s face it, even though they are stinking cute, they can be very mischievous when their humans leave.
You can also give them treats through the camera to lift their spirits.
23. Treat Dispensing Toy
If there is one type of toy that every dog loves, it’s a toy that dispenses treats. You can put treats in this one so when they play they are rewarded with a yummy snack. Another great way to keep them occupied.

If you really want to spoil your furry friend, a luxury toy is the way to go. What’s better than having matching handbags with your pup?
This toy is probably more suited for the smaller dogs so they don’t shred it apart.
27. Hide Chewy
These chew toys are easily an amazing go to when you want to give them a special treat that they can work on for a while. If ever you are going away for an extended period of time, giving them something to focus on like a chewy will help with their stress and anxiety.
28. Teddy Harness
Quite possibly the cutest harness out there! If your dog didn’t look like a teddy bear before, they will wearing this harness. It’s a great two in one so you can still attach their leash while they stay warm.
The hood is also good if it rains or snows to keep the water out of their eyes.
29. Pet Car Seat
It’s kind of like a booster seat for a little kid. It will keep them safe, that way they feel stable and comfortable enough to lie down if they want and take a nap.
A pet car seat is especially good for those who go on long car trips.

If you aren’t the best at throwing the ball for your dog to fetch, this launcher helps you throw much farther so they have to run more to fetch their ball. Anything that tires them out is a win!

A sweater is a great option if your pup gets cold inside. They will literally never want to take this sweater off. It’s super soft and cushy, perfect for napping around the house and staying cozy.

Of course they have to have a couple of cutesy toys. It’s hard to resist getting 100 different toys when they are all this cute.
33. Pet Playpen
If they are still a puppy or don’t do well being left alone in a big house, a playpen is a great way to make them feel safe and make sure they don’t get into trouble.
You can create a little sanctuary for them by adding their favorite toys, a bed, some potty pads, and a cozy blanket.
34. Grooming Towel
This towel is super helpful when it comes to bath time. It’s super absorbent which is a must if you don’t want to go through ten different towels trying to dry them off.

A cute pack of tennis balls would make the perfect present to put in their stocking. The different colors also makes it super easy to find when playing fetch.

It’s no mystery that dogs can be pretty messy when eating. Put a placemat under their dish and water bottle to make the cleanup 100x easier.
