How to choose gifts for dog lovers
A gift for the owner, the dog, or both?
Dog lovers enjoy gifts that celebrate their dog just as much as gifts for themselves. Treats and toys make the dog happy, while prints, mugs and walking kit are for the owner. A mix of both is often the most popular.
Safety first with treats and toys
Dogs vary a lot in size, age and diet. Check the size of toys and coats, look at the ingredients on treats, and bear in mind any allergies or health conditions. If you are unsure, ask the owner or choose a gift that is just for them.
Make it personal
Anything featuring the dog's breed, name or photo is almost always a hit. Prints, portraits and keepsake journals are lasting gifts, but personalised items can take longer to arrive, so order early. Check current prices and delivery dates on Amazon.
