Best gift ideas for dogs! These dog gifts are great for your pets birthday or Christmas. Includes cute custom gift ideas like personalized toys. Some of these unique ideas are super cute and will surprise and delight your favorite pup.




Max Daddy CBD supplements for dogs and bacon flavored dog treats

MaxDaddy treats and CBD supplements for dogs are made with natural and organic ingredients and dogs love them. It is no exaggeration to say my dogs love these treats better than any other dog snack! Even my super picky dog loves the bark nuggets - which are like a classic dog treat infused with the power of CBD.

CBD is a great supplement for dogs, especially as they age. CBD can help dogs with anxiety, pain, itching, inflammation, immune support and more.

The bark dust is a bacon and pumpkin flavored powder that is easy to mix into food and makes it easy to supercharge your pet's regular food.


This cleaver soft treat holder is designed to get pups into the tub so that you can give them a proper scrub down! They won't even mind having a bath while they lick their favorite spreadable treats off the special pad.

This keeps your dog busy so that you can get in and out. Everybody wins!

These personalized dog toys come with your dog's name stitched on! This is a cute personalized gift every squeaky-loving dog is sure to love. Maybe it will finally incentivize them to learn how to read, too!


This bone-shaped dog chew toy for small and medium size dogs is a dog toothbrush designed as a toy. The rubber nubs help prevent plaque and tartar build-up and make dental hygiene enjoyable for any dog.

This doggie toothpaste helps reduce plaque and tartar formation in your beloved pets. Great to use in the teeth cleaning chew toy listed above!

Use this cute and sturdy dog toy basket to help keep your pets toys up
Keep your dog toys tidy in this sturdy canvas dog toy bag! It's a cute way to keep all your pet's favorite toys corralled into one place in a handsome tote.

This cozy dog bed is make from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles and is a great green gift
P.L.A.Y Dog Bed
This cozy dog bed is stuffed with filling made from post-consumer recycled plastic bottles. Keeping pets safe is important to PLAY so they use lead-free zippers and hypoallergenic materials. Even their minimalist packaging is Gold Certified by Green America's Green Business Certification program.

These darling bandanas are personalized with your dog's name or nickname. Made with 100% soft cotton flannel and each one is made to order. 

Designed just for dogs, this leak proof water bottle keeps your canine companion well hydrated on the go. The gift is perfect for the active dog who is your favorite hiking, running or dog park companion.


Make sure your best friend gets home safely with these unique custom pet ID tags! The fresh designs are a modern take on the classic dog tag and I love shopping small with Etsy vendors over a big box store any day.

If your dog has a tendency to inhale their food as soon as their bowl hits the floor, this is the gift for you! This puzzle bowl "slo-bowl" help dogs eat up to 10x slower. This promotes healthy eating and can help improve digestion and reduce bloat in dogs that tend to eat too quickly.
