7 Best Christmas Gifts For Puppies

December 11, 2019

The holiday shopping season is currently underway! That means lots of bustling through malls and exploring different stores. While in search of the best gifts for your loved ones, don’t forget about the special puppy in your life. 

Your furry friend may not know what Christmas is, but we’re positive they’ll love a yummy new treat or doggy bed. And as a bonus, your pup will feel like a part of the family celebration! From Christmas sweaters to collars, here are 7 amazing Christmas gifts for your puppy. 

1. Holiday-themed sweater

A classic go-to present, keep your puppy stylish and cozy with a classic holiday-themed present. There are various styles and colors to choose from, including a reindeer pattern and a fashionable knit coat. When choosing a sweater, always make sure the material is made with a safe acrylic fiber or another soft, high-quality material. Your puppy should already be comfortable with wearing clothes but if there’s a fashion mishap, you can always opt for a Christmas bandana instead!

2. Doggy bowl

A doggy bowl is one of the most essential puppy supplies you can buy. From cool dog bowls to the classic stainless steel bowl, there’s a large selection of varying sizes, shapes, and types that can perfectly fit your fur-baby’s dietary needs. You can even personalize your puppy’s bowl by having their name emblazoned in stylish print on it. These bowls, typically made from ceramic material, add a personal touch to your pup’s meals!

3. Cozy blanket

Puppies love to curl on a warm, cozy blanket, especially on those cold winter nights! So when shopping for your puppy’s gifts, consider purchasing a blanket that’s just for them. They can come in different colors, designs, and sizes, and some are ideal for car seats and dog bedding! Most dog blankets are also made with soft fleece material that gives a comfortable warmth to your pup. Just make sure the blanket is machine washable for multiple uses. 

4. Collar

Show your pooch that they’re worth it by giving them a brand new collar this Christmas. You could purchase a personalized collar to match your pup’s bold personality or add some luxury to their outings with a leather collar. If you are looking for something within your budget, you can always choose a regular collar with a creative pet ID tag. Stop by any Petland store to see what collars we have available!

5. Christmas dog toy

When a puppy’s teething, there’s nothing they love more than to sink their teeth into something. A chewable toy is a perfect present for your furry friend. To make your gift matches with the season, be sure to purchase a holiday-themed toy like a Christmas rope toy, squeaky holiday characters, and even a “Starbarks” plush toy! If you want to challenge your puppy’s brain, you can also pick Kong toys or puzzle games to mentally engage them.

6. Puppy treats

Want your puppy to wag their tail in excitement on Christmas Day? A puppy treat will do the trick! Yummy puppy treats can be a huge help during house and obedience training. Most puppy treats are available in-store, but if you’re feeling adventurous, you can try baking some delicious treats yourself.

7. Dog bed

Another can’t-miss gift, a doggy bed is a cozy choice for a Christmas gift! Dog beds often come in round or rectangular shapes and in different patterns. For extra comfort, we recommend purchasing a bed that’s made with soft fleece—this helps keep your puppy toasty while they drift off to dreamland! Dog beds are not only useful for naps; you can also use them for crate training purposes. As your puppy grows bigger, they will need to upgrade to a larger-sized bed.

Christmas shopping for your puppy is a fun thing to do during the holidays. Whichever gift you choose for them, we’re sure your furry friend will love it with all their heart. Be sure to stop by Petland and ask our staff for their advice on a selection of presents for your puppy. We hope you find the perfect gift for your furry cutie this Christmas!
