It’s that special time of year. Ho Ho Ho! With Christmas just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about Christmas gifts. For those who’ve already picked out and wrapped their gifts already – show-offs. I’m only jealous because like all of the years prior, I’m always late when it comes to wrapping presents.
While times might be tough this year with the cost of living, there are still one or two presents that you could treat to loved ones and those include your pampered pooches. I’ve not mentioned the terrors of it on my blog yet but Ronnie managed to swallow a stone, have major surgery, and the cost is well over £7,000 in vet fees and honeymoon money so he’ll be getting his Christmas advent calendar and one present! For those who are looking to spoil their pooch rotten, here are some great gifts worth getting this year.

Barbour Quilted Coat Jacket – £39.95
Ronnie looks the bee’s knees in his Barbour Quilted Coat Jacket. It’s one of those splurges that I made after he’d grown to full size at the age of one. As a birthday treat and to keep him warm during the winter walks, this coat jacket has lasted fairly well over the year.
Pooch & Mutt Calm & Relaxed Mini-Bone Treats – £17.99
Our dog Ronnie is quite an energetic pup. I’ve spoken to many Cockapoo owners and it seems to be the case that they end up calming down somewhat when they turn four. That’s two years away guys. Ronnie has tried some of Pooch & Mutt’s treats before and I’m tempted to make his one gift this year some relaxing treats.
These Pooch & Mutt Calm & Relaxed Mini-Bone Treats seem like the perfect solution to bring a little calmness to the chaotic personality that we love and adore so much. However, if he could relax a little bit, that would be mightily appreciated. Pooch & Mutt are known for its delicious treats, so they’re definitely a good brand worth trying. The dental treats are a great option for those dogs who have smelly breath!
Furbo Dog Camera – £129.00
A lot of dogs in recent years were born during COVID and became COVID pooches. There were also many dogs who were used to their owners being out for most of the day and work and now suddenly found them at home all the time due to the pandemic. For us, that’s the case with Ronnie but I’m a freelancer so I always have worked from home since he arrived. This means that when it eventually comes to training him in separation, he’ll need something like a Furbo Dog Camera.
These appliances are great for helping keep a dog company when its owners are out of the house. The device comes with a camera to keep an eye on what they’re up to and to command them to get down from anything they’re trying to pull off the clothes hanger – Ronnie we’re looking at you mate.
Not only that but unlike other dog cameras, there’s a treat dispenser. Every so often, a little treat can pop out for the dog to munch down on for their good behaviour. It’s a great device, a little steep in price but there are some alternative options above worth considering in comparison to the Furbo Dog Camera.
Joules Bee Print Dog Bed – £40.00-£64.00
We’ve tried again and again to introduce new beds to Ronnie. I think we may have gotten through several now. However, as a young pup, he still has a much-needed desire to get his teeth into everything and anything. Our last dog bed was Joules bed and it was wonderful. However, it’s now in dog bin heaven.
I think at some point, later down the line we’ll get another bed but this is when we move house and have a big enough property to put him in a bigger crate so that the bed can stay in there instead. This Joules Bee Print Dog Bed though is so adorable and I can attest that Joules beds are wonderfully soft and durable for the most part. Not recommended if you have a dog that likes to eat its way through dog beds and toys though.
Postman Pooch Christmas Dog Toy and Treat Gift Box – £18.00
For a good all-rounder present, there’s nothing like a Postman Pooch Christmas Dog Toy & Treat Gift Box. These are great for those who want to give their dog a little bit of everything. From dog treats to an assortment of festive toys, Pets At Home always comes through on the goods for Christmas treats.
Despite it looking wonderfully festive, I know for a fact that Santa’s head would no longer exist once Ronnie got his mouth around it. He’d definitely be interested in the Turkey Jerky that’s available in this box though.
Dog Toy Basket – £30.00
When Ronnie was a puppy, he had the smallest dog basket known to pooches. He now shares his dog toys with our throw basket. So when it comes to a Dog Toy Basket, I think this is a Christmas treat that I think he’ll get some good use out of as I would like to have my throw basket back at some point.
Dog toy baskets are like kid’s toy baskets, they help to keep everything organized instead of having a home that is covered in toys all the time.
Dog Door Mats – £29.99
To let everyone know that your household is a doggy one, these dog door mats are awesome. There are also some personalised ones available if you fancy getting your dog’s face on the doorstep. For those that are looking for a range of personalised dog mum gifts, Yappy is a good place to shop. They have plenty of dog gifts that are worth looking at for those that need some inspiration.
We’ve already got ourselves a doormat that I couldn’t bring myself to part with but I think when getting a home that has a back door and not just a front door, I’ll be keen to get a pooch-orientated doormat.
Dog Treat Tin – £8.50
Finally, for those dogs who love their treats – as our Ronnie does – a dog treat tin can help to keep all of the treats in one place. We actually need a dog treat tin for Ronnie’s dentastix supply but we do have a personalised treat jar for his smaller treats to go into.
Treat tins can help free up storage space in the cupboards and are a great way to add a bit of personalisation to some of your dog’s belongings. Hopefully, these dog gift ideas have provided some inspiration for those that are struggling to find something appropriate for their beloved pooch. From myself and Ronnie, enjoy your festive shopping!
