I love creating gift guides at Christmas but one member of the family that is often forgotten about is the cat or dog so I thought I’d put together a few ideas of gifts for the furry member of your family.
Something to eat
One of the best stocking fillers for pets is treats and we have a few great suggestions for you this Christmas. First up is Peamutt Balls, a delicious and affordable treat for dogs that has been designed as a tasty snack or training treat. Peamutt Butter Balls are packed full of protein and contain healthy fats, vitamin B, niacin and vitamin E whilst being grain, gluten and palm oil free. Buy on Amazon here.
Anything from SOOPA would be well received by your pet pooches this year. SOOPA have a fantastic range of ‘super’ healthy but tasty dog bites and dental chews in a variety of flavours to suit every dog. The SOOPA Products are 100% natural, made from superfood ingredients and produced to human grade standards. Whether your dog likes chews, dental sticks or healthy bites, SOOPA has so many options for your puppy’s stocking this year!
But, if you’d like to give your pup the gift of variety, give them a SOOPA Selection Box. This gorgeous gift features a delicious combination of superfood dental sticks and healthy bite-sized chews in the a festive flavour – Cranberry & Sweet Potato with added natural flaxseed for happy tummies! See the full SOOPA Christmas range here.
Another great choice for pups is Nuri Soft Bites from Doodlebone. Available in a range of flavour, Nuri Soft Bites are healthy and grain-free making them nourishing, natural dog treats that are the perfect way to boost your dog’s daily diet as they’re high in protein, made with quality ingredients and fortified with flaxseed for additional Omega 3 fatty acids.

Something to play with
Toys are a great gift for pets at Christmas and we love this Barbour Dog Toy from House of Bruar. Crafted from a strong mix of premium fabrics, making it durable and tough, this rabbit boasts a traditional tartan design and a well-padded filling. Perfect for games of tug of war or simply a great snuggle buddy at bed time, it would make a lovely gift this Christmas.
Nylabone is always one of our go-to brands when it comes to buying dog toys and this year we love their Filet Mignon Extreme Chew Lobster dog chew that has a filet mignon flavour, is super durable and comes in two sizes, meaning you can get the perfect chew toy for your four legged friend. You can see the full Nylabone range here.
Dogs love frisbees and other outdoor toys, and Wham-O Pets have a great range this Christmas. The Wham-O Frisbee Floatsbee is a high-flying, floatable disc dog toy that every both humans and pets love to play with! Perfect if your dog loves water as it can be played with in and out of a river or stream. Or, why not get the Wham-O Frisbee Squeaksbee? This is a fun, squeakable disc dog toy that adds another level of fun to a simple game of frisbee!
Another choice for flying fun would be the Wham-O Gripsbee Jumbo, a high-flying, extra-large, floatable, high-performance disc dog toy – perfect for bigger dogs! Or, there’s the Wham-O Frisbee Whizzbee which flies high and floats but also whistles through the air. The kind of toy a dog will go crazy for!
We also love the Wham-O Chewla Hoop Treat Dispenser that you can add your dog’s favourite treats into before giving it to them, seeing the treats dispense as they play and chew! It’s a mentally stimulating, interactive treat maze toy that has been made to engage your pet and they are sure to love it. Alternatively, the Wham-O Super Ball Treat Dispenser is a smaller treat dispensing toy that pups will love just as much!
Wham-O Pets also have a great range of ball toys like the Wham-O Cluster Ball Treat Dispenser that is great fun as a ball but also releases treats as your pet chews and plays. And finally, the Wham-O Bounce Glow Light which has an LED light deep inside, designed to let your dog play fetch and any other ball games at any time of the day or night. Shop the Wham-O Pets range on Amazon here.
Something to sleep on
A new pet bed is always appreciated – although I know many cats and dogs would rather sleep next to their bed than on it! Our favourite this year is the Squishmallow Pet Bed from Pets at Home. Available in a range of sizes and styles, it’s the cutest pet bed we have ever seen whilst being super comfy, amazingly soft and built to last. See the full range here.
Something practical
Practical gifts are something that every pet and owner will appreciate and one of our favourites this year is this Light Up Lead from Doodlebone. This collar will reall help to brighten up dog walks with a choice of multicoloured or white lights – and three different fun settings to choose from too. Easily rechargeable, it’s water resistant and comfortable. A great choice for the dog in your life this Christmas.
Another fantastic, practical gift is the Doodles Drying Robe from Mikki Pet that has been designed to dry off your dog after a wet or muddy walk or even after a bath! Made from super absorbent microfibre, it holds more water than traditional towelling, helping your pup to dry quicker that just towelling them off. Machine washable, and available in a range of sizes, the drying robe is sure to be a great gift for any dog this year. See the full Doodles range here.
Something different
If you’re looking for something different for the pets in your life this Christmas, why not get them their very own personalised pet advent calendar? Ready to be filled with all their favourite treats to be enjoyed in the run up to Christmas, this is the perfect way to celebrate the festive season with your furry friend. Find out more here.
So there you have it, gifts ideas for the furry member of your family. Do you buy your pets gifts at Christmas? If so, what have been your favourite pet purchases over the years? When the time comes, I hope you have a lovely Christmas.

That cat snoozer though!
The cats are our babies, so we’re looking forward to spoiling them this Christmas. Thanks for some great inspiration Donna.
May get mine an advent and a soft toy this year. Bless him
I always buy Christmas gifts for mine, my Mum and Nan also get them presents too- though my Nan always forgets their names so called them Dog 1 and Dog 2! My favourite gift I got them was about 10 years ago when I splashed out on a really lovely wicker bed for them both. Sadly, they never ever used it, instead favouring the sofa, so it got sold a few years later! That’ll teach me for letting them on the sofa!
