These Gifts for Dog Lovers Are Treats for Everyone

Each holiday season, there’s one bullet point on my shopping list I’m more excited to cross off than a luxury men's gift for my husband or a life-enhancing tech gift for myself. I’m most enthusiastic about splurging on my most loyal companion: my puppy.

I know fellow dog and cat owners are more than a little obsessed with their furry friends and want to include them in the holiday season. So from the practical to the playful, I’ve found the 35 best pet gifts that will delight the animals in your life and their pet parents. There's more to giving the best pet gifts than picking out another squeaky toy (though I did include options that even the most hyper dogs will appreciate). For a pet present that doubles as the best fashion gift, spring for a Prada bandana or a Gucci leash that coordinates with your own designer collection. For everyday upgrades, try a quilted sling bag for on-the-go carrying or a chic leash clip-on for carrying waste bags. Then there are the no-brainer toys, beds, and pet clothes that always please. I would know: Many of the following picks have been tested and approved by my dog and me.

Ahead, find the best pet gifts that are as much a treat for dogs and cats as they are for their devoted owners. Just order by the shipping deadline of December 11 to make sure everyone can unwrap their gifts together—even your pets.
