Gifts for the dog

[Sleepyhungryfattyanddoc]

My lovely parents adore their dog, and I wanted to get it a gift for Christmas as it would make them so happy.
Any suggestions for something special?

Depends on the dog's hobbies

I've had a lot of past success with Babble Balls for dogs that enjoy nosing them around:

Or Treat dispensing toys plus some small treats

Nina Otteson games for the clever dogs out there

I've clearly bought too many dog presents in my time!!

I always buy my Westie gifts so he can join in the present " opening"
I've bought him a Kong Comfort kiddo soft toy and a puzzle toy thing this year. He's a much loved part of my Family

We got our dogs a sheepskin rug, the older one is 13 and he absolutely loves it. They’re not spoiled rotten

I've bought ddog a water fountain and new food bowls. Last year I got her a big bag of secondhand tennis balls which she was delighted with.

Nothing raw-hide - it's so bad for them

Our boy loves Mr Porky's for a treat. We have to ration them though!

What breed of dog? And how old are they?

Our Labrador puppy is getting:

An agility set.
A Nerf duck that you can pull back and shoot off like a slingshot.
A new collar that says Friendly (so people hopefully know that I’ve put him on his lead out of politeness not because he’s nervous or aggressive).
A glow in the dark hall.
A plush duck that will be “killed” in minutes 🙈
Some edible treats.

His favourite toys that he already has are:

A rabbit with crinkly plastic inside from Home Bargains
A corduroy and rope snake from Pets at Home
His Kongs
His Hollee roller ball
Any dead animal body part from the local pet shop 🤢.

Oh and his gun dog dummy.

My Springer is getting a new frisbee. I'm quite tempted by a nice, new fleecy blanket too. He's currently very attached to an old towel though so the gesture might not be appreciated.

New fluffy fleece blanket for her bed
Kong squeez ball
Sprout toy

Our dog loves opening Christmas presents.

@LadyCatStark where did you get the nerf duck please?

Bought so many gifts for my two spaniels over the years. Ddog 1 loves balls, water, balls, sticks & balls but is getting old so have to reign the balls in . The best gift ever was the dog nerf gun. This year will be getting some fancy biscuits, a new chuck it ball with strap.

Ddog 2 is very different and loves cuddly toys so will be getting a new cuddly bear & fish biscuits.

They always get a bone on Christmas Day or Boxing Day too ( get one every week but they butcher saves them an extra meaty one.

Snuffle mats are popular with mine or a puzzle ball, kong Wubba, a night away in a dog friendly hotel with a lovely walk whilst there?

@FoxInABox I ordered it from Amazon but I can’t see it on there now ☹️.

I also suggest the Nina Otteson puzzle games. My dog loves them - and once she has mastered one we give that one to my son's dog for Xmas and she gets a new one!

Have a look at Mungo and Maud website
