5 Holiday Gifts for Dogs That won’t Break the Bank

So you’re making your list, and checking it twice, and realize you’ve got quite a few dogs on your holiday gift list! Nothing says “Merry Christmas” like a thoughtful little gift for your dog friends and families. Here’s 5 thoughtful & affordable holiday gifts for dogs …

Toys.

Dogs never tire of new playthings, and their humans don’t always have the time to shop for them either. So one or two age/size appropriate toys not only make a great dog gift, most can be had for under $10. Even better, if you’re crafty you can try your hand at making a dog toy like these adorable denim bones.

Treats.

Dogs can’t eat many of the foods served at Holiday celebrations, so why not offer up something special and safe? There are many online and local boutiques (like Woofgang Bakery, for one) that offer delicious and healthy treats for dogs. Like holiday treats for humans, the gift of food is one of the most popular holiday gifts for dogs.

A Dog Collar. 

An affordable dog gift idea that in most cases costs less than $20. A dog should be decked for the holidays too, and something unique and different will really impress your dog-loving friends! If you’re not certain of size, most companies offer sizing guides. If you know the dogs approximate weight or breed, you’ll have no problem getting a great fit. Want to really wow the dog parents? Choose a color that will look great on their coat. 

Dog Sitting Gift Cards.

Sometimes dog owners need to make trips and can’t take their dogs. Finding someone trustworthy to watch their fur-babies can be hard – and who could be more trustworthy than you? Have a crafty friend create a few cute “Free Dog Sitting” Cards, and you’ve created the perfect gift that costs you nothing but a few nights with your BFF’s Furry friend.

Dog ID Tag

Even if your family dog has a tag, they can wear out or become outdated. Busy families don’t always have the time to replace them, so a nice new shiny tag will make a nice surprise! Think of a tag like jewelry – it makes a great gift during the holidays and you can find beautiful & unique ones online – most only take a week to engrave and deliver!

You can also find handcrafted holiday gifts for dogs by going to a dog-centric website like Etsy or The Artful Canine for dog gifts that are both unique and affordable!
