Need a little help thinking of dog lover holiday gift ideas? I grew up as a dog owner for my entire life. Following the passing of my fur baby in August of 2016, I became a pet sitter. I know what I always loved to receive around the holidays! I’m pretty sure I know what pet lovers want for the holidays for their little fur babies.
Perfect dog lover holiday gift ideas
The “new puppy” owner
Holidays. We all know someone bringing a new fur baby into the home for the holidays. People love to give new puppies, or kittens, or even a guinea pig, as a holiday gift. I get it. A big bow on the collar, and it’s the gift that brings the biggest smiles to a child’s face. Legit gift, as long as you’re all heading into the commitment with open minds, and armed with tons of pet ownership reality.
A new bed. Plenty of puppy food. Lots of potty pads for the house. Cute little sweaters for the cold weather. Sparkly new leash to match the new collar. However, there’s something missing. A unique, one of a kind gift everyone in the family will love, cherish, and fight over rights to use.

Dog owners who’ve been around the block
A legit fur parent loves to show their puppy loving pride. What’s the best way to show this pride? With a t-shirt, of course! Trudog has t-shirts for not just dog mommies, but also dog daddies. You’re going to want to check out the full selection of Trudog’s t-shirts for dog parents.
Once you’ve had a dog for a bit of time, it becomes more about the pet receiving something, not so much the “owner” or pet parent. All pet owners want their fur babies acknowledged. Yes, even those who’ve been around the block on the journey of being a fur parent. Trust me. Mom always gave the family dogs gifts for the holidays, and each dog had his, or her, own holiday stocking on her mantle. Our dogs are family members.
So, what does one get a fur dog?
I find most dog parents don’t update their dog’s ID tags often. It’s never the first thing on the mind of a pet parent. However, tags get older, and do need to be replaced throughout the years. Dogs chew on them, and just regular wear and tear, makes it difficult to read. I’m partial to the ones with crystals, but you know, that’s just me. There’s a large selection of custom ID tags on Trudog to choose from.
Raw food diet
If you’re a dog owner yourself, definitely check out places that offer huge selections of raw food products. Research shows raw food is a beneficial diet for dogs for gums, gut and immune system. It’s a definite eye opener for me!
