Christmas gifts for dog lovers

Uncertain about Christmas gifts for the dog lovers in your life? Pet owners can be particular about their four-legged friends, but that doesn’t mean finding presents needs to be tricky.

From sustainable chew toys to matching winter coats or even a bespoke illustration, we’ve found something for every pooch-loving person around.

Raincoat for wet days

Keeping furry friends dry during the winter months is always top on dog owners’ lists. You’re sure to score points with an adorable dog raincoat from Joules.

Lightweight and water-resistant, this mustard-yellow number ensures walks can take place whatever the weather. The cosy inner lining keeps pooches toasty on the inaugural Boxing Day walk, too. Plus, it’s machine washable, so there’s no need to worry about mud stains.

If you want to spend a little extra, Joules has a matching coat for humans, as well!

Personalised dog notebook for ‘ruff’ notes

Everyone loves getting a fresh notebook in time for the New Year, and even better when it’s covered in dogs. This A5 journal from Papier features a colourful ‘Pups’ design. It can be customised with lined, plain or dotted paper, as well as with a name or title.

To make it more unique, you can add a pet’s name instead. Perfect for keeping dog-related notes to hand.

Some lucky breeds, including Huskies and French Bulldogs, have got dedicated versions of the same notebook, making the gift even more personal.

Recycled toys for playtime

Beco Pets has an excellent selection of chew toys made from natural rubber, recycled plastic or hemp rope. The brand’s soft squeaky toys are especially great if you’re in the market for a small gift or stocking filler.

There are a number of fun animals to choose from, including a Giraffe, Parrot and Monkey, and each comes in a range of a sizes to ensure great fits for all pets.

As the hardy cloth material is made from recycled plastic bottles, these are sustainable and durable, too. Or, try the Rough & Tough versions of the plushies, such as this starfish, for big-time chewers.

Aesop is renowned for its gorgeous hand, skin and body products – but humans aren’t the only ones the brand makes formulations for.

Effective at deodorising and calming sensitive skin, this gentle fur cleanser is ideal for pampered pooches. It also doubles as a hand wash!

Plus, as it’s scented with lemon rind and tea tree leaf, everyone is sure to smell delightful. A little goes a long way, too.
