Dogs are the most common household pets in the UK, which makes dog owners a big part of the pet community. While there are a million and one things to gift to a dog owner as a person, there are fewer thoughtful dog-themed gifts to give to any dog owner; here are some:
-
Dog care books
What better way to prep a dog owner on how to navigate caring for a pooch than by getting them a detailed book on dog care 101? It could be a book on generally caring for dogs or specific to caring for individual breeds or a handbook explaining special care for pups or for ageing canines – depending on the age of the pooch owned by the receiver of the gift. A book on dog care is a thoughtful gift to help a dog owner learn how to train, feed, groom, and overall care for a dog.
-
Dog carriers
Get dog carriers or backpacks for a dog owner with pups going through a phase of dog separation anxiety. This way, the dog parent can move around with their pup and prevent the whimpering and crying that comes with their absence. It is also a great gift for pet owners who love engaging their small-breed dogs in outdoor activities like hiking and running.
-
A supply of dog food
Ensuring a pooch eats healthy meals can be pretty dear, especially if this dog has special needs. Help shoulder this burden by committing to supply healthy dog foods and treats. All you need to do is ask the dog owner about their dog’s meal and treats plan and get the items on the list. It could be for a week, two, or even a month! It is the thought that counts!
-
Calming dog bed
From a pup experiencing separation anxiety to a dog in need of its own space, a calming dog bed is the best gift for a dog owner who needs to teach their pup some level of independence or help their elderly furry friends feel calmer and relaxed from aching joints. It is a gift that will promote the comfort of a dog, which is the desire of any dog owner, and they will be absolutely chuffed with this gift as happy dogs are known to positively influence the physical health of their owners.
-
A portrait
A portrait of a dog owner and their pooch together? Yes, please! This is the best gift to hang on their wall to constantly remind them of the special love and friendship shared between them and their pooch. It is the best gift to capture the “dog is a man’s best friend” narrative.
A pawfect gift or two will go a long way in making them feel special and loved for giving a home to our furry companions. When you buy any of these thoughtful gifts on our carefully curated list on Pamper Paws, you are on your way to putting a smile on the face of a dog owner.
