Gifts For Dog Lovers
10 Things to Consider when Looking for a Gift for Dog Lovers
1. Their dog’s personality
Sporty dogs and lapdogs are going to want different sorts of toys. Make sure you have some sense of the pet’s personality before you purchase items.
As much as this gift is for the dog’s owner, it’s really more for the dog they love.
2. Their dog’s size
If you’re buying any sort of pet accessories, you’re going to want to make sure you know what size the dog in question is.
A pet bed for a chihuahua isn’t going to serve a golden retriever very well.
Likewise, an extra-large bone meant for a german shepherd is going to be far too large for a terrier.
3. Their dog’s breed
Different dog breeds have different personalities and interests. It is likely that the dog in question falls into at least some of the types of their breed.
Try doing a simple internet search on the type of dog that you are shopping for and see what they like.
4. Their home
If the animal lover in question has nowhere to store a massive trunk of toys, it’s probably not a good idea to stock them up with squeakers, ropes, and bones.
Try to check in on the space available before you purchase anything large.
5. Their land
If this pup has plenty of room to roam, they are likely to enjoy some more outdoorsy items.
Apartment bound dogs are more entertained by stationery items.
Keep the outdoors in mind when buying things for a dog lover, and try to encourage them and their dog to enjoy the space that they have.
6. Their household
Are there lots of kids running around? Is it a quiet household of one human and one puppy?
The surroundings that this dog has matter. If you are gifting a dog toy into a family with kids, make sure it’s something that young ones can handle too.
7. Their activities
Is the pet lover in your life an outdoorsy type? A runner? Or do they like to sit on the couch and read? Whatever it is that relaxes them, find a way to bring their beloved pet into the activity.
Try packable dog bowls, comfortable dog beds, running leashes, and the like.
8. Their location
City dogs, country dogs, and suburb dogs have different needs. In the city, a dog walker might be a great present.
In the suburbs, a few new toys. And in the country, a very, very long leash is sure to be a favorite.
9. Their dog’s favorite things
What does the dog like to do? A silly question at first, this topic is very likely to yield some great results.
As a dog lover, your gift recipient wants nothing more than for their dog to be happy. If you can make that happen, you are sure to be the hero.
10. Their hopes for their dog
While we all love our pets just the way they are, many of us also have goals for them. If your gift recipient is hoping to train their pup or teach them a few new tricks, try supporting their lessons with treats and training sessions.
