It’s the most wonderful time of the year once again, and for dog lovers that means one thing: We get to spoil our favorite (furry) family member. But what do you get the pupper that has, well, everything? 🐕
I made it simple—too simple, if I do say so myself—and compiled a list of some pretty amazing gift ideas from companies like Sundays For Dogs!
Let’s have a look at some favorites:
1. Human-Grade, Air-Dried Dog Food
Just like us humans, the food that our dogs eat has a huge impact on their longevity, weight, skin and coat, immune system, vitality, and more. I wanted to feed them something better than kibble but less expensive and messy than fresh food, and I think I finally hacked it: Sundays’ air-dried fresh food. 🥘
Since Sundays For Dogs’ fresh food is air-dried, it’s shelf-stable for a few weeks (read: no icky messes), but nutritious like fresh—it’s the best of both worlds. There’s no smelly, wet fresh food that needs to thaw in the fridge, and it’s 40% more affordable than fresh-cooked food! Sundays scored a 39-0 preferred taste test against regular dog food, so it’s a sure win for picky eaters.🥇
The best part is that Sundays’ food is basically like delicious jerky: the USDA beef, chicken, or turkey recipes are gently air-dried to lock in nutrients and kill germs. No prep required—just pour it out of the box like you would kibble.
Sundays has a 40% discount for first-time orders, PLUS free shipping! Take their fun little quiz about your dog and they set you up with the perfect plan, and shipping is FREE! Take the quiz and check out your pup’s new favorite food here!
2. Handheld Dog Treat Launcher
Dogs love grabbing frisbees, balls, and sticks out of the air, but what else do they love even more? Treats, of course! Combine playtime with snacktime by shooting treats into the air with his launcher—might I recommend Sundays? 🤩
3. Fluffy Pet Bed
Would you want to sleep on the floor? Hear me out—your dog deserves the very best, so even if they already have a bed, get one for another room in the house. Not only does it provide a sense of security and a “designated spot”, but it supports their joints, keeps them cozy, and can help reduce anxiety.
Fringe benefit: they won't get hair all over the couch or your bed! 🙌
3. Squeaky Chew Toy
A plastic bone isn’t going to cut it this year—get your pup a squeaky chew toy they’ll be obsessed with! The sound helps develop their cognitive skills, brings out their inner “hunter”, and keeps them active.
Make it fun for yourself, too, by choosing a toy that looks so cute in their toy basket at home (I’m personally obsessed with sushi and croissant-shaped toys)! 🍣🥐
4. Silicone Slow Lick Mat
Got a puppy who hates grooming? It’s impossible to get them clean when they’re squirmish and combative (Husky owners… IYKYK!). Distract them by doctoring up a Silicone Slow Lick Mat with peanut butter or their favorite snack!
A little hack: throw the mat in the freezer (first, check to make sure yours can be frozen!)—it will take your fur baby even longer to lick up the treats. Super helpful if you’ve got a large breed where bathtime takes forever!
