Everyone loves a gift that is thought through that carries meaning and shows care from a friend or family member. However, sometimes it can be hard to know what to give. Below we will give you some help for finding gifts for your dog-loving friends.

A personalized gift

Personalized gifts are fun as they clearly show care for the specific person receiving the gift. There are multiple options to find on the internet, but some examples are puzzles, mugs or wall art. These can have elegant minimalistic patterns or outlines of the type of dog and the personalized name, or clear photography-based pictures, or aim for a family photo.

A bonding experience for pets and their owners

The relationship between a pet-owner and their pet is strong and familial. But even with family there is always more to learn. So why not give a gift that keeps on giving – an experience to learn more about each other! It can take the shape of a trip to a high-rated dog park or a new toy, or why not gift a fun card set on “How To Speak Dog” from Uncommon Goods to learn how to interpret your best friends mannerisms?

A gift for the pet and the pet owner

Gift a fun drinking set to your dog-lover by giving your human friend a wine stopper or tea steeper in the shape of a dog, and a fancy travel water bottle-and-bowl-in-one to the dog. These gifts are easily found on major online stores such as Amazon and put a fun twist on traditional drinking sets and games for friends.

A nice handmade gift

If you are a practical person you could opt for a handmade gift. If you have a talent for handiwork and knitting and/or crocheting, what could be cuter than a homemade dog sweater for the colder weather? There are plenty of patterns to find online and can be adjusted to your skill level.

If handiwork isn’t your thing, perhaps baking doggie treats is more up your alley. Once again, the recipes are easily found on online platforms such as Pinterest. You can also try these recipes recommended by the IrishDogs website itself! 

A lazy but long-lasting gift

Perhaps you realized it too late, or you stayed on top of it and did bunches of research: either way, a dog box subscription can be a good gift for your friend. The boxes, which show up at the receiver’s doorstep once a month, can contain dog snacks, toys, and other handy gifts.

There are several to choose from, such as Bark Box, Chewy Box, Dog Mom Subscription and Goody Box. For some boxes you can even choose themes or types of contents.
