Fun Gifts for Dog Lovers

According to Charles M. Schultz, "Happiness is a warm puppy." Most dog lovers think of their canine companions like children due to the high degree of joy and fun dogs add to the family dynamic. When trying to find the perfect gift for someone who is devoted to her dog, the categories of personalized gifts as well as dog toys, treats and accessories offer many options for dog lovers.

  1. Healthy Gifts

    • Dog puzzles, which require a basic problem solving skills to reach a treat, are also a meaningful gift choice, as they promote brain stimulation for any canine attempting to solve the puzzle. In addition, they are great for overweight dogs and their owners who still want to spoil them. Dog have to work to get to the treats, so one goes a long way, and the dog doesn't get overfed.

    Dog Toys

    • Dog toys can foster exercise opportunities for play between a canine and owner. Before simply choosing a toy, familiarize yourself with the lifestyle of the duo you are buying for. For example, a tennis ball launcher is a good gift idea for someone who regularly engages their canine in games of fetch.

    Dog Treats

    • When shopping for a dog owner whose canine loves to eat, specialized dog treats are an appropriate gift choice, as they can celebrate a special occasion or just allow a pet owner to pamper their pooch. For instance, add some fun to a get-together by bringing a dog cake or specialized treats, including peanut butter puppy poppers.

    Dog Accessories

    • Canine apparel can parallel the owner's interests. Carrying cases, clothing and collars are options. Tailor your accessory choice to match the owner's style for a successful gift. For example, if the dog owner loves hiking, get the dog hiker boots. If she's a clothes horse, buy her dog a Gucci collar.
