The Ultimate Holiday Gift Guide for Dogs and Dog Lovers

Welcome to my list of top 20 gift picks this season for “EveryDog”, adventurous dogs, Dog Moms, and Dog Dads. Some of the links below are affiliate links, which means that I get a small percentage of each purchase you make to help keep this blog running. Others links may be to products and companies that I have worked with in the past. The products wouldn’t be listed here though if I didn’t love them though. Happy shopping!

They deserve a “Knottie” toy then 🙂 HuggleHounds Knotties are made from corduroy that’s soft enough to cuddle, yet strong enough for chewing.

Gifts for Dog Dads

It can be used in any backpack with a pocket for a hydration system and the size of the compartments is flexible – both of the compartments add up to the full capacity of the bladder.
